*Start of show: "Nearly a second of dead air there, you know, at the end of Janice's programme on medium wave. I don't know. perhaps she's losing her touch, who can say. In tonight's programme, a session from Sonic Youth, three from them. (bleeping noises) That's my watch in the background, hold on, let me stop it doing that. Also a repeat of our session from the Woodentops, and a survey of all that's best in contemporary German football song. Start with this though, which is an old record which I finally got round to buying in Germany at the end of last week."

:(JP: 'An interesting weekend for me in that, amongst other things, I seem to have developed a new facial tic. I've had one for a couple of years now, which keeps my nose muscles pretty fit, anyway, in that I twitch my nose like a rabbit at times of stress, but now it's started ticcing in the corner of my mouth here, so occasionally there's this rather strange sort of semi-smile, a sort of mirthless smile that crosses my face. It is an interesting thing to look at in the mirror, I must confess, and it leads rather neatly into this next record.')
