This week's themes...
"Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking when I said I'd like to smash every tooth in your head..."
Harry from Gatehouse has suggested that I do a separate post of each of this week's themes as it makes it easier to follow in the new blog format. I hope you are getting used to the new look and are finding it easy to register and post.
For tonight we are going back to 'iconic first lines' as there were so many of them came in last time. I only had time to get around to half of then so I'm looking forward to doing the rest tonight. Check out Neil martin's first lines quiz elsewhere on the blog. great fun.
I've got another cracking summer mix tape lined up for the second half of tonight's show. Not to be missed.

What about "I always flirt with death, I look ill but I don't care about it"?

How about "Oh I just died in your arms tonight, it must have been something you said" I always preferred "it must have been something you ate!"

I would really like to nominate a strangely brilliant version of My Back Pages by the Magokoro Brothers which is sung entirely in Japanese and bizarrely is so good you cannot help but try and sing along! (easy to get its on Dylans Masked and Anonymous Soundtrack)
