Radio Clash 62: Aural pOddities 2 Strange for Radio
Revenge and return of the Aural pOddities show (31 shows since show 31!) where I talk about outsider music, from song poems to gay patriots, homosexual ghosts and really bad pop music!
Longest RC show yet; but it didn't seem right to split it - stick with it, there's a great chilled middle section long-mix...

I wasn't really trying to be secret, just wanted to ... well, provoke you a bit.
I'm evil like that! Sometimes when I listen to RC at work we just break out screaming "EMMM UHHH UMMM UHHHH" and I wanted to know exactly how much of it there is in one RC, and apparantly it's four minutes!
February 3rd, 2006 at 11:18 am
You listen at work?!? Wow...
February 3rd, 2006 at 12:42 pm
I also listen Radio Clash at work ( with earphones, of course)
February 3rd, 2006 at 6:36 pm

February 3rd, 2006 at 7:58 pm

Had to laugh at the thought of Henry Cooper, well known boxer but crap comedian, dying on stage as his joke bombs.

Did Henry Cooper die to this song?
