Friday night was the best value. At the last moment, David Holmes announced that he was bringing along his pal and old hairdressing colleague, Paul Caddell. You may know that the latter is a kind of touchtone, accomplice and muse. He's gets a namecheck in the tracks 'My Mate Paul', and 'Caddell Returns', while he was on the street-prowling mission to New York that birthed the album, 'Let's Get Killed'.
He's also a comic of sorts, and the two hour special veered from the serious to daft and back. At times it sounded like a lost relic from Derek And Clive. The music, essentially chosen by David, was supreme and often exclusive, while Caddell deadpanned lines from 'Don't You Want Me' and offered hairstyling tips to the late Dennis Wilson. It all went a bit surreal when 'Sparky's Magic Echo' took a wander.
I hope the fun translated from the studio to the radio speakers. Let me know either way.
