Playlist 5 July
There are several veterans of the PunikÌýWars who wear it well, among them Siouxsie Sioux. In the recent Punk Britannia series, she didn't look much different from her high kickin' days with the Banshees. Good cheekbones go a long way, as does a decent tune like tonight's opener. Punk rock more than goth, which is how it should be.
Is Can's hit single 'I Want More' krautrock ? It can't really be. I mean, they even appeared on Top Of The Pops with it. Look it up on the internet and marvel at Noel Edmonds who had obviouslyÌýjust come from a wedding that morning, judging by his tie.

"I knew Sky, I thought I did, and I know why he flipped his lid" ...sure gonna miss this radio show!

Hope it pops up again sometime in the not so distant future. You should've tried to take over from Chris Moyles on Radio 1, y'know, get down with the kids, yeah! Oh well, for now I shall enjoy the last couple of shows.

I wonder what treat's you have in store for us for the final show and what the very last track should be? Given your love of The Ramones may please I suggest Blitzkrieg Bop - Hey! Ho! Let's Go!
Or should that be Lego?
