What a treat on the way home yesterday. The end of 'Tango' Dale, the JW opening jingle, The 'Keeping the dream alive' by Freiheit. Radio at its best!!

Well it was all right I suppose. At least it was live. Unless he knew in advance that Hamilton would get stuck in the gravel Wink

But what was that awful Superman song that he played. Pure garbage.

I enjoyed hearing that again. I remember hearing it for the first time as I was stuck in traffic at Hangar Lane Gyratory on the way out of Shepherd's Bush on a wet and miserable Friday evening and I was mesmerised by "Superman" - it certainly got people's backs up simply because it was so different! Lots of sampling and processing going on there. Very innovative.

I have to agree with Ernie on this. It drives me nuts. I have to switch it off whenever I hear it.
It's called 'O Superman' by Laurie Anderson and was originally on the album Big Science.

I liked Oh Superman by Laurie Anderson too, Very strange but captivating.

Peely introduced it on his show and it actually got to number 2 in the charts back in 1981.

Don't hear it very often but when I do it always reminds me of driving back from Lea Valley back to Norfolk in 81 after buying an old Mustang convertible there, untaxed and with no MOT! Rolling Eyes was I glad to get home! I had to keep stopping to fill the radiator until a friendly garage mechanic enroute told me to leave the radiator cap loose. It was fine after that! Laughing

So there I am listening for the first time to my recording of the Sunday 40th anniversary shows and really enjoying Kenny Everett when I decided it's the dogs tea time.
Stopping the disc, what should just start playing but Oh Superman! Shocked spooky or what? Laughing
