Jane's New Music

Jane bought a car three years ago, and it didn't have the key code for the radio/cassette player, so no sounds. On Friday she finally got around to asking the garage to sort it out, and then spent an hour sorting out old tapes.

She just went to return some DVDs to Blockbuster, and what was she listening to, and hopefully indoctrinating the children with? The Clash and London Calling. Impressed, I am.

Sgt Pepper: 'It Was 40 Years Ago Today...'

Great documentary on BBC2 last night. Seeing Kaiser Chiefs struggling with 4 track recording to 1" tape was interesting. They needed 20 takes. It's not scheduled for repeat though.

DOCUMENTARY: Sgt Pepper: 'It Was 40 Years Ago Today...'
On: BBC 2 London (102)
Date: Saturday 2nd June 2007 (Already shown)
Time: 22:45 to 23:45 (1 hour long)

To mark the 40th anniversary of the release of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles, the album's engineer, Geoff Emerick, heads back to the studio with some of today's top artists to create new versions of the album's classic tracks. Will today's musicians succeed in recording their versions of the songs using the original studio equipment from 1967, and with only a day to record each song? The Kaiser Chiefs, Razorlight and Bryan Adams are among those taking up the challenge.
