Hi, I’ve been busy making things again.
Here’s something that I tried out – it’s Radio Nick 999. A pretend radio station to kill some time this morning. I’m having one of those lazy days, and can’t be bothered to get dressed or really do anything.
(Picture borrowed from somewhere on the Internet)
Radio Nick 999 – a station that doesn’t exist, and never will. It’s more of a celebration, a celebration of finding a voice, a celebration of another week of life that’s been successful. It’s a musical review of my week.
You can download it for your own private listening pleasure here (if you want to, you don’t have to).
Here’s the story that accompanies it, in the order the songs appear. I’m clever like that 
Fantastic Plastic Machine – S’il Vous Plait. I was listening to this whilst skipping along Hove Seafront yesterday afternoon. I decided to go out for a walk in the sunshine and this seemed a great opening song. The sun was out, people were happy and there was a good vibe on the prom. It reminds me of Spaced.
Rocky Horror Picture Show – Sweet Transvestite. I watched it for the first time in years on Friday with Nikki and remembered how cool it is. I’d also got the soundtrack earlier on in the week and started posting lines on my Facebook (I was drunk!). “I’m not much of a man by the light of day but by night I’m one hell of a lover-r-r-r-r”. It’s a brilliant film, and almost as old as I am.
Michal David – Non Stop. Especially for my Slovak friends who go crazy about this song. It’s from the 80’s but still sounds cool. My friend Martina made me a CD with it on and we’ve been listening to it pretty much everyday since. I also call it Track 15 as that’s how it appears on the CD (not that you really needed to know that, but I’m trying to write a bit more about it). It reminds my friends of home. (Martina did the “Don’t look at me I’m shy” at the start of the song – don’t tell her she’s on it or she’ll kill me!!).
The Real Tuesday Weld – I Love London. I started this week getting trollied in West London. I love London, I love the Tube, I love the buses and the hustle and bustle of it. London is my “get away” place. I think I’m becoming tired of Brighton and Hove, the place seems to be falling apart and nobody seems to care. London, Londinium…
The Who – I’ve Had Enough. I’m sure we’ve all had enough, and that we know people who have also had enough. This is a phrase that’s been used by many people this week. I’ve had enough of idiots, enough of ungrateful people, enough of politics, enough of people trying to run other people’s lives. Simply put, I’ve had enough.
The Cardigans – Sick and Tired. I couldn’t find another song to reflect the cold I’ve had this week. I was sick, and by the end of the week I was very very tired. I’ve done nothing but sleep, feel tired, sleep again, sleep, sneeze, sniff, feel tired etc. Thank you cold for going away. Please don’t come back again, you’re not welcome in my body anymore.
Lemon Jelly – Staunton Lick. A song dedicated to watching Spaced. I watched it on Friday night, with Nikki and a bottle of wine. We’ve agreed that we are Daisy and Tim (I’m Tim, she’s Daisy – in case you were confused). The song is from the last episode of Series 2. I watched series 2 online yesterday morning whilst waiting for my wine headache to go. We watched it and immediately saw the resemblance between the characters and some of our friends. We just need to get a dog called “Colin”, move in together and we’ll be complete.
Millicent Martin – That Was The Week That Was. Simply because that was the week that was, it’s over, let it go. Plus, it seemed a good song to have at the end. I also have friends called Steve and Brenda but that’s not them on there. I don’t know why I mentioned it really.
