*Nectarine No 9: 'Snow Smith Automatic (LP-A Sea With Three Stars)' (Postcard) @
:(JP: 'This is a title which derives I assume from something you hear from time to time on the shipping forecast, which I always took to be Smiths Knoll Automatic, but I was trying to phone the Radio 4 people to discover how exactly it should be said and whether it is indeed Smith Snow Automatic or Smiths Knoll Automatic. Not that it makes a great deal of difference in our lives but it’s the kind of detail I like to clear up.')
*Simba Wanyika Original: 'Wenzako (CD-Pepea)' (Kameloen)
:(JP: 'I know a lot of you worry about such things as corruption in the record industry and roughly the way it might possibly work is something like this. Now imagine that there’s a young band and they want to get their records played on the radio so they might suggest to an elderly DJ that he goes out and has an Indian meal at the mother of two of them. He goes along and has an agreeable evening and eats far too much then has to have a sleep on the floor of his studio afterwards then he plays their record. This is the kind of shocking thing that can happen.')
