³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ

It’s catch up night tonight and a chance for me to play some of those songs that I have been promising for ages. Lined up so far tonight are tunes from The Cocteau Twins, Kraftwerk, Barry Blue and The Boo Radleys. More to come obviously.

Most of today’s production meeting was taken up with Paul and I arguing over something really important: No silly, not the Conservative party’s plans to increase the inheritance tax threshold and whether the £400m bill for scrapping stamp duty would be funded by imposing a £25,000-per-year charge for "non-domicile" taxpayers, but whether Geri Halliwell is talented or not! (Turns out he was confusing ‘ability’ with ‘credibility’ , which don’t always go hand in hand!)

That was hot on the heels of yesterday’s ‘heated debate’ with my senior producer, who seems to think there is such a thing as ‘too much Morrissey’. As if!

I love the fact that sitting arguing with your mates about music counts as work. It’s just like being at the pub, but without the drink obviously…well until five past seven when Paul and I will be in a real pub raising a glass to the towering talent that is Geri Halliwell.
