11 o'clock, tick tock

And after all that, Gary Kemp was wearing a cardigan. I mean really. We've all got cardigans Gary. But what fun with the Spandaus. I really enjoyed having the guys in and the new song sounds like classic Spandau to me. And trust Trevor Horn to get it sounding just right. And speaking of new music, I have the new Robert Plant, the new Queen and the new Chrissie Hynde. But I haven't got the U2 which everyone has been gifted. Followed the instructions and everything...Oh well Chris is playing loads so that will do. Top new idea though-'here's the album whether you want it or not'. Not sure what I think about giving stuff away for free really as it feeds the idea that you don't have to pay for anything-papers, films, music, just help yourself. But it certainly is canny and probably the route many others will take in the future. And what I've heard of the new album sounds great so far...

So it's Chrissie Hynde today, complete with new album Stockholm chock full of good songs and good friends (like Neil Young and John McEnroe). As you'll have heard from the tracks we've been playing, her voice is as wonderful as ever.

And songs for WATCHMAKERS, TIMEKEEPERS AND HOROLOGISTS should cover the new tech side of things...
