Playlist 23 June
Apologies for my tardiness. I was busy testing the new Peace Bridge in The Town I Love So Well. I love The Fall so well, too, especially when they twist a sixties guitar riff and squeezeÌýout yet another gem. That's what Dead Beat Descendent is. Don't argue. It came from the Brix years, when Mark E Smith combined his domestic life with his working life and seemed very happy. Of course when he's happy , he smiles, and a million dentists shudder.
To reflect the excitement which has swept the population of Derry off their feet, there's a contrived link with the new Peace Bridge across the Foyle. Orange Juice, personal friends of mine for four days in December 1980, presentÌý "Bridge" a non hit from 1984. Which was the same year the last bridge in Derry opened.
Add to that Jilted John, who still makes me laugh, and we have a show we can all be proud of. Like the bridge. See , it's everywhere.
