Jumped in the car this morning, without really paying attention to the radio. It was turned on, so as I started up the engine, Lou Reed’s original ‘Perfect Day’ came over the speakers. What a fantastically menacing, dark song to start the day with. It was played all the way to the end, including ‘you’re going to reap what you sow.’ I’m now in a fine mood.

Then, on comes Aled Jones. It’s Radio 2! The former choir boy comes on and chunters about something or other, and then follows the track with – ‘The Going Gets Tough’ by Billy Ocean. I was killing myself laughing – how could you possibly manage to play those two tracks together? Oh well
