This is what I meant to put up in here. Since driving to Lytham St Annes every morning, I've taken to listening to Radio 4. I know that makes me sound ancient, but it's really good. You get a good, intelligent mix of news and current affairs, sometimes a bit of arts and culture thrown in. And I've been listening to Desert Island Disks every Friday morning (well, half of it, 'cos then I arrive at work and have to switch it off). I thought you could only pick 3 records, but it seems more like 10. So I've been working out my 10 records (and you have to mix popular stuff with classical and jazz and world to obviously make yourself look more cultured :oD)
The Smiths - There is a Light that Never Goes Out
Tim Buckley - Sing a Song for You
Mozart - Requiem - Confutatis
Nina Simone - Love Me and Leave Me
Bob Dylan - Subterranean Homesick Blues
Massive Attack - Safe From Harm
Mendelssohn - Violin Concerto
Tom Waits - Ice Cream Man
Buena Vista Social Club - El Carretero
Nirvana - About a Girl
That would shake it up a bit I reckon. This mornings show had Stephen Poliakoff playing You Can Go Your Own Way by Fleetwood Mac. Something that surreal just reads like a challenge to me :oD
