I like that 🤓. Haven’t really ever thought about that the punters might recall it as a good eve!
(We weren’t v precious about it all - used to scribble down the names of tracks when people asked and had others bring in vinyl and CDs to get played. Good times.)
It did as it goes! Not familiar to all but went down v well.
My wife won’t let me do them at home - as she correctly says, if you get it wrong it’ll be pretty bad…
Ooh. Not heard this remix before. Nice. 👍🏾
He would be great, wouldn’t he?
Oh yes!
Used to play this one a lot back when I did a bit of light (i.e. bad) DJing.

Persia, 1926.
The Qajar Dynasty, has come to an end.
Reza Khan, or Reza Shah Pahlavi would rule from 1925 until 1941.
The Persian inscription, سلطنت پهلوی reads; Pahlavi Dynasty.
That is magnificent!
Y’know, I can’t place this one… (getting old.)

I mean, we all know he’s a wrong ‘un but you have to admit Dr Hannibal Lecter is a good cook.
Cheers, @yakhunt.net. Hope it all goes well.

That’s lovely. Some beauties on there.
Target novelisation of Doctor Who - The Reign of Terror by Ian Marter
So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and they’re simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was “your piano is too close to the fireplace, you’ll dry it out” and if that’s not the internet in a nutshell I don’t know what is.
The book on the Meccan Siege by Yaroslav Trofimov is a good read
as I recall, if you’ve not read it.
Naipaul toured #Iran with a communist guide interviewed Ayatollah Sadegh Khalkhali and observed air force jets bombing Kurdish rebels on Khomeini's orders. His tour diary notes the mix of hope, fanaticism and dysfunction like poorly trained pilots crashing planes while serving "the will of God."
Grandstand. Five smegging hours of sport.
No wonder I read so many books.

I mean. Just wonderful. You could make a series out of that premise. A proper jewel of an episode.
(Makes me think Brooker should run Doctor Who.)
Saw them at Glastonbury in 2005. Crowd adored them. Did a little ‘Make Poverty History’ bit too!
Mate, realised I never did get back to you! (Also took me a while to find the time to watch it what with various things.)
Amazing! That sensing of *something* going on and watching it slowly unfold. Plus it’s genuinely touching and moving.
Seriously, any more episodes you can send my way, do!
More of a Lionel RichTea fan myself.
