I can categorically confirm that the Brian Bilston attending the Derry gig is one of the 23 officially approved Brian Bilstons currently operating on the circuit. He will see you there.

It's just Dr John and Luvcat cruising the strip and tuning in their car radio to hear their single 'He's My Man' being played on the Late Show wMB. That's all.

"So, yeah, you go down there, past Greggs, past Poundland, and Timpson's is on your right....."
Dave , ever helpful.
Boys Keep Swinging on the radio , as the BBC tells us they're working on a new film about his Berlin days. Which is nice.

This is the new collection from Alex E.T.
As well as the wonderful Summer For Now, it also has Little Wars. Which sums up modern life, in a way. Or, they're just two good reasons to listen to the LP.
Now on the LSwMB

Solomon Burke.
He died this day fifteen years ago.
He didn't always look this good, but he always dressd this good.
The brilliant Bert Berns song, Cry To Me, is a fitting way to mark his anniversary.

So, while we're playing great new cover versions of great old songs ......
this is interesting. The Al Wilson hit, The Snake.
As performed by those Manchester marvelletes, The Goodstock Project.
Excellent.
Like the Disc Jockey says, it sounds better coming from a female singer.

Pretty amazing graphics, as you'd expect from the people who invented our technological future. Or something.
Trans Europe Express now on the Late Show. Obvious, I know. But obvious is the radio presenter's friend, to paraphrase my pal Paul. Who's a Kraftwerk fan.

The marvellous Brian & The Cats!
Mr Bilston is coming to Derry next week. I have tickets, but how will we know it's the real Brian and not a lookalike that he's sent out instead?
In the meantime, another listen to Customers Who Bought This Record.... is called for on the Late Show.

Ah, you know, any mention of a highway patrolman means the show has to feature Your Driver's License Please, by Roy Tann. Available on this release from April.
And heard on the Late Show, of course.

Meet the new Bruce, same as the old Bruce.
Springsteen meets The Bear, during the filming of Deliver Me From Nowhere.
Which looks good, even for non believers like the Late Show Disc Jockey.
Highway Patrolman , from Nebraska, is great, though.
