wow I made it to podcast #25 !

Firstly to the girls in Houston, Texas who wrote to me and said they had a "sideroom singles all day party on the weekend" - oh my god !! that is so side splittingly funny !! Glad you had a fun day and it is making me laugh my head off !!

It's also highly "raisonable" of you but then my knowledge of French is limited to David Gedge of The Wedding Present's impressive bi-lingual skills in putting out "Why Are You Being So Reasonable Now" in the French version that appears here today as "Cadeau De Marriage". I'm sure I have the English 7" somewhere and that'll probably show up one today.

Something a little 'un-raisonable' is the slight ribbing they gave Vini Reilly of the Durutti Column in the movie 24 Hour Party People...poor old Vini !! Anyway Vini's on board today with the legendary Sketch For Summer.

The band The Products were from Sydney and an offshoot band of Fabian Byrne who was a member of Fast Cars who were on podcast#13 with Saturday's Girl. And bizzarely Echo & The Bunnymen showed up 8th again like last time...spooky !! And sometimes I don't really know exactly what it is Mark E Smith of The Fall is on about but I've always loved the strange little tale contained in Lie Dream of A Casino Soul.

Enjoy ;)
