Hitting The Decs

This is just a quick entry to let you all know that I'm having my fifteen minutes of fame on BBC 6 Music this week. Gideon Coe's show, 10am-1pm Monday to Friday, has a feature called "Hit The Decs", where listeners are invited to send in a list of 5 tracks, one from each of the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s (decs = decades, geddit?). Each week, one listener's list is selected and the tracks are played, one per day, during the week. And I'm doing this week's list. The 60s choice was Tomorrow's "My White Bicycle", played at about 12:15 yesterday (Monday) if you want to check it out on the "listen again" feature. Today it's The Damned's "New Rose" - listen in if you want to find out the other choices, and to find out scurrilous factoids about me, which I confessed to in response to their email questionnaire...

Current listening pleasure provided by the brilliant box of B-Sides & Rarities by Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, and the fabulous first album, "Employment", by The Kaiser Chiefs.
