Howling gales and torrential rain a cheery way to end the working week. Well done everyone, time for a treat. I'm thinking of a raisin danish just to keep things ticking over-it's a blood sugar thing. Apple and apricot also ok, maybe one of each just to be sure. I'll do some extra vigorous talking to work off the excess sugar/fat/cholesterol/whatever the bad thing is we need to avoid this week.
And Friday is good for vigorous talking. Film show first on 5Live with the Coen brothers Joel and Ethan talking Inside Llewin Davies, following the life of a melancholic folk singer in a melancholic Greenwich Village in 1961. It is pre-Dylan (until the final 30 seconds) and so has the feeling of Abba's The Day Before You Came (I wouldn't push that comparison too far). It has a soundtrack by T Bone Burnett and I really should have liked it more than I did, but here them yourselves today.
And it is ARFO time again and we shall start with 1985. According to my records, not done for a very long time, bizarrely. It is Live Aid, Brothers In Arms is the first million selling Compact Disc and Eastenders is a new TV show. And your is suggestion for the toppermost song is welcome.
But first it's pastry time...
