Thanks Steve for playing the Sea Cadets cover of The Sound's "Skeletons ". This was recorded for our Adrian Borland tribute volume 2 which should be released in 2019 if all goes well. Appreciate all your support!

If this here universe so to speak produced its first baby,, that would be conciiousness. A warm December day/night thought. How about the psychedelic furs but then why interfere with an already inspired song list?

Steve Kirkland (host)
No Furs tonight, Mike, but I'll make a note of that for next week...

I'm with Mike and would like to hear some Psychedelic Furs, especially some of their songs from their first few albums. I remember seeing them here in Ottawa many years ago.

Atrocious spelling but consciousness is consciousness even if misspelled without the reading glasses on the 2 by 2 iPhone 4. It corrects every word I make up though. Be tuning in Saturday thanks.
