It's antiseptically clean

Wednesday greetings, hump day, mild temperatures, off to a screening, all good.
Back to normal today after yesterday’s love extravaganza! The whole point of charts is of course to spark debating it’s fair to say the love chart has done that. I thought the redefining of love songs was rather refreshing, the Eurhythmics, Oasis and Bryan Adams were proper love songs and welcome additions. Plus Angels is an indisputably popular modern anthem. Hold hands, light that phone…
So today then and here we have a new book from John Boyne, he of Boy in the Striped Pyjamas fame. In the future it may be that he is introduced as John Boyne, he of The Hearts Invisible Furies fame. His new book is a monster and brilliant and has the best opening line I’ve seen in decades. Hear John after 6. And tonights oldies! Today sees the start of the 26th International UFO Conference in Fountain Hills Arizona and who wouldn’t want to be there! So UFO oldies it is. We are your friends.
