Day 265: Black Velvet, Alannah Myles
This rock star’s voice reminds me of Bonnie Tyler who reminds me of a female version of Kurt Cobane who reminds me a little of Rod Stewart.

Covid Island Discs
Day 264: Curiosity killed the cat, Little River Band
Another song from my long lost childhood. In the new year we are finely getting a dog for my daughter Grace. Luckily it is a dog not a cat and my name is not Curiosity so I give the dog’s chances of long term survival better than evens ????. Man the seventies dress styles were

Day 263: Don’t you want me baby, The Human League
So today I was sitting in my living room and my daughter had the TV on and it was playing some 80s music and this classic came one. A song that I very much enjoyed listening to all those years ago and which until now had completely slipped my mind. A song that captures the

Day 262: Daydream Believer, The Monkees
For a band that was created for a television series this song certainly deserves to be included in Covid Island Discs. A really pretty song and probably the Monkees at their best.

Day 261: Our lips are sealed, The Go, Go’s
Another song from my school days. This classic came out in 1981 when I was in year 9. In those days my best mate Robert and I used to collect special top 50 song list sheets from the radio station 2SM and they were all in different colours. Pretty cool memories. I reckon if I

Day 260: Whip It, Devo
Crazy band of the 80s. They have already appeared once in Covid Island Discs. This is their second appearance. Not sure why they have flow pots on their heads ????.

Day 259: Rockaria, Electric Light Orchestra
A great song by ELO which really shows their full synthesis of rock with classical music. Sadly the sound quality of this official video is surprisingly poor but I guess this is because it was made in 1976.

“????Make you, make you make you notice. Gone is my arms, gone is my legs, gone is my style .. cause I’m going to make you see no else here no one like me.????”

Day 257: Revolution, The Beatles
This is the grunge version of the famous song that appears on the White album. Actually there is a surprising number of Beatles videos on the internet given they really didn’t do many public appearances post about 1965. Truly I never get tired of this band that is arguably the greatest rock band of all

Day 256: Dear Mr President, Four Non Blonds
A second appearance of the 4 non blonds in Covid Island Discs. In some ways I can relate to the lyrics of this song. In the scheme of things the USA is a wonderful country and yet …. and yet! Oh USA what has gone wrong with your dream? How has Trump et al. bewitched
