on Wed 03 Feb 2010 by Chris PainterThis week I decided to do more of a music orientated show as my co-presenter cancelled on me at the last minute. Strangely, this meant we actually got a few calls this week, as well as a welcome return for a somewhat spontaneous Dibb's Dollop.
This week I played...
1. What Difference Does It Make by The Smiths
2. The Light 3000 by Schneider TM (Which is a cover of There Is A Light That Never Goes Out by The Smiths)
3. Chronograph by Sketch Show (Sketch Show was the name that two-thirds of Yellow Magic Orchestra used in the early naughties)
4. Rydeen by Yellow Magic Orchestra
5. Field Work by Ryuichi Sakamoto & Thomas Dolby (Ryuichi Sakamoto being the missing 3rd from Sketch Show)
6. Europa & The Pirate Twins by Thomas Dolby (produced by and containing harmonika by Andy Partridge of XTC)
7. Pale & Precious by The Dukes of Stratosphear (XTC making mock 60's music, this particulatr song taking Beach Boys influence)
8. Good Vibrations by The Beach Boys
...see what I did there?
