11/12 Tracklisting...

These Arms are Snakes - Big News
Continuing this radio show's association with bands featuring ex-members of Botch.

Prince - Guitar
Everybody's favourite rock-god midget, off his new album 'Planet Earth'. However, if you've seen the "Priest and the Beast" episode of the Mighty Boosh then the line "I love you baby, but not like I love my guitar" carries unintentional but hilarious weight.

Duran Duran - The Reflex
Continuing this radio show's association with "na na na na"-type vocals.

American Football - Honestly?
Seminal emo from Cap'n Jazz/Joan of Arc/The Promise Ring members. Nice guitars. Listen to it, get it off http://www.download.com

Paul Simon - You Can Call Me Al
One half of Simon and Garfunkel. Guess which half? And also, good video. Chevy Chase and that...

The Beatles - Back in the USSR
It's the Beatles. What should I say? John Lennon invented Yakult back in 1979, but Dr Shiroto had him offed to protect the yoghurt-based secrets. Also, George Harrison once knocked out Muhammed Ali in a bar-room brawl in Chepstow in the late '60s. Used a brick. It got a bit messy.

Sufjan Stevens - That was the worst Christmas ever.
Sufjan 'Dude, it couldn't hurt to tie my metaphorical hands together by promising to make an album for each of the 50 states of the USA whilst spending 7 months writing an album about a MOTORWAY and making a 4-disc compendium of Christmas songs, could it?' Stevens here, with a nice mellow Christmas number. Wunderbar.

These ones didn't go out, but they still deserve the PSB treatment;

The Go! Team - Ladyflash
The UK's answer to Moby, vis a vis sample-happy dance-pop.

Incubus - Wish You Were Here
Mellow and ocean-y rock. Discuss.

David Bowie - Let's Dance
Recently nicked by Craig 'Proper Bo' David, who's proper buffed up. He's away to kick the shit out of Avid Merrion, I'll bet.
