I was under the impression that you were hosting this last week. I waited with bated breath, but you didn't arrive. Anyway, just joined after MoT finished broadcasting. Good stuff. I just recently rediscovered that very 7" single of the Shangra'las. Well, not exactly the same, mine's on Kama Sutra label.

BTW: I liked the track The The Comet Is Coming by Final Eclipse.

Dave JC
Excellent, I'll be here till 10 then. I'll be multi-tasking: cooking lentil curry and listening!

turning out to be a bit of a Steve Kirkland Easter weekend on The Mighty. Great fmc yesterday and bicycle songs are very dear to my heart!

Steve Kirkland (host)
Dave, cooking while listening is a common theme tonight. Lentil curry sounds great.

Steve Kirkland (host)
Mike, yes, I have been radio-overstepping this weekend, and feeling it... ready for a quiet Easter Sunday... Glad you have enjoyed.

You beat me to it, I was about to say Kraftwerk's Tour de France. Talking of curries, I was thinking of Red Hot Chilli Peppers' Bicycle Song!

If I had tuned in earlier, I would have requested Motor Bike Beat, or Rev Up by The Revillos

9:47 PM, April 15th, 2017
Steve Kirkland (host)
Dave, I didn't get to the Chilis or to Suicide tonight (sorry Sharon)

Steve Kirkland (host)
Good choices, Wally, but they slipped my mind... although I had "Rev Up" running through my mind for a few days last week...
