278 Talking Heads
A refreshing change, a New Wave band of impeccble credentials and excellent musicianship. David Byrne was the mover behind it, and with his individual performance style, became the face of the band, to their occasional chagrain. We covered the whole of their recording history, and did not ignore all of their big hits. A big success with our audience too
Television Pundits
OK, that’s the dictionary definition of this week’s theme: Talking Heads. Post-punk at a time when Punk was at its peak, later guitar pop and world music when those were long gone, New Wave through most of their career.

152R Astronomy
A stellar show,well,I thought so, and so did our audience who were effusive in their enthusiasm. Ranging from orchestral to rock, the music was all positive and very listenable, and just what was needed on a hot summer’s day.
Hey Look! Stars!
And moons, and planets, and nebulae… astronomy. That’s this week’s theme. So, if you see stars during our show, it’s not necessarily because you received a blow to your head.

277 Hawkwind : By The Book
A show concentrating on the multiple literary references drawn by Hawkwind throughout their career, of which there are more than enough to fill several hours.
I promised I’d link the lyrics of Steven Savitsky’s filk song “The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of” which contains the line about rockets landing on their tailfins. So here it is.

The future isn’t like it used to be.
151R Alice Cooper
The inventor of Shock Rock, traced from his early glam-rock sessions to today and his continuing career, slightly less gory now but still disreputable. But it’s all an act, and he’s a really nice guy, these days anyway.
Alice. Alice! Who the…
No, not that Alice. We’re talking about that band from Phoenix. You know, Alice Cooper? Well, anyway, that band with Vincent Furnier as frontman. Who later legally adopted the name of the band, Alice Cooper. But we’ll get to that in the show.

276 Alan Hull
A show about the founder of Lindisfarne and one of the finest songwriters of rock with an English feel, Alan Hull. Lindisfarne and Hull are favourites of mine, which made the show hard work, as i had to narrow it down from a very wide list and then do the songs justice. Hopefully I’ve made him a little more widely known.
The Music of Alan
Well, Alan Hull, that is. The singer-songwriter and frontman of english folk-rockers Lindisfarne, whose influence has been compared to the likes of Richard Thompson and Ray Davies. We’ll cover both his band and solo careers.

150R The Moody Blues
A band from Birmingham (the real one, in England) that made a big name for themselves worldwide with a series of concept albums, updating their sound to stay fresh up to the 2010’s.
