:(JP: 'Let's have a look at some of these emails. Here's one from Dead Man Jones. It says, "Just wandered onto the Radio 1 website to find out what you look like in the studio, only to find the webcam out of commission, and a black-and-white testcard in its place. This is exactly the sort of unprofessionalism and inefficiency that I've come to rely on in these supposedly perfect times." Well, one of the reasons for this, Dead Man Jones, is that we're not in the studio in London. I'm at home, and there isn't, thank God, any kind of camera in here monitoring everything that I do. And he goes on to say, "While I'm on, am I the only person to find it astonishing not to find anything from Muse in the Fifty, especially after the play that you and Steve have given the band?" Well, as Anita the producer, who's sitting behind me, and Lynn, the office junior, who's sitting behind her, can confirm, we've never played a single track' (Anita Kamath: 'Never, never!'), 'by Muse on the radio. I'm afraid, Dead Man Jones, you've got that fantastically and spectacularly wrong. Not a single Muse track has been played on this programme.')

*Muslimgauze: 'Valencia In Flames (CD-Lo-Fi India Abuse)' (BSI)
===2000 Festive Fifty (All-Time): Numbers 45-41===
:(JP: 'Time to return to the All-Time Festive Fifty which, as I hinted in last night's programme, is sort of fairly predictable, I have to say. We're about to enter into the traditional aspect of it, I think, in tonight's programme, but so much so that I felt that I'd just do it five tracks at a time over ten nights, rather than try and cram it into two or three programmes.')
*45: Beatles, 'I Am The Walrus (LP-Magical Mystery Tour)' (Parlophone)
*44: Bob Dylan: 'Visions Of Johanna (LP-Blonde On Blonde)' (CBS)
:(JP, on hearing that he has a listener in San Francisco): 'I think this whole Internet thing is just fantastic. As I've said so many times before, I love doing these programmes more than I've ever enjoyed doing them before, and I've always enjoyed doing it, but the Internet has made the crucial difference I think. The fact that Cathy can listen to these programmes in San Francisco and react to what's...going on is just amazing.')
*43: Nick Drake, 'Northern Sky (LP-Bryter Layter)' (Island)
:(JP: 'And I often wonder what poor Nick would make of the respect in which his music's held now.
:In 1967, during the late spring and early summer, I was working on the pirate radio ship Radio London, doing a late night programme called Perfumed Garden, and a mate of mine sent me a record from California, and I got it and listened to it in great astonishment, and played one of the tracks from it on the radio that night. When I played it, considerable...errrmmmm...well, I was going to say, "the shit hit the fan", but you can't say that on the radio. But it's what happened.')
*42: Velvet Underground, 'Heroin (LP-The Velvet Underground & Nico)' (MGM)
:(JP: 'Let me tell you, nothing was ever quite the same again after playing that, it really wasn't.')
*41: Beach Boys, 'God Only Knows (LP-Pet Sounds)' (Capitol)
:(JP: 'Actually, the Velvet Underground and Nico were playing in Hollywood when I was living in San Bernadino, California, as part of Andy Warhol's, what's it called, 'Exploding Plastic Inevitable' I think, and they were playing at some particularly trendy place. Being a chap who's never been over-confident, I like to think, I went to go there, and just didn't have the nerve, so I went down the road to see the West Coast Pop Art Experimental band instead, which is something I thoroughly enjoyed, but I always regret that I never went in to see the Velvet Underground, cos they must have time and away been at their absolute peak, and certainly at their most astonishing. I think I once told somebody that I had gone in to see them, but it wasn't true. It's like Andy Kershaw claims that I told him I'd been to see Elmore James playing, because it was possible he did play in Dallas when I lived in Dallas, but I didn't go and see him, but again, I really wish I had done.')
*Distorted Minds: 'Typecast (12 inch)' (Breakbeat Culture)
*Lucrecia Y Su Orquesta: 'Vence Batalla (v/a LP-Nº 1 En Cuba)' (Magic Music)
