Music and Mumblings - 037 - We've got you covered - AKA what I did on my holidays

This week I have some time off work - which I am dedicating to indoor pastimes with no heavy lifting. Yesterday was nicely taken care of by a few hours at the Science Museum in London followed by a quick pint in Covent Garden with none-other than Lord Numb who was, as you can see here, in top form. More from him later...


Today is partially dedicated to throwing together a podcast. A little different this time. Cover versions, mostly, and an extra measure of 'cheesiness' linking the tracks together, plus, an unauthorised guest appearances from Don Logan (another role model, from the film "Sexy Beast"), a collection of daft noises, John Prescott (not a role model) and a Chav - I hope you like it, it was fun to put together.

My apologies for the slightly laboured breathing in certain parts of today's show. Floyd, the elder of our two golden retrievers decided to share the 'studio' with me while I was recording today and, well, the title of this week's show really says it all....

Music and Mumblings - 034 - Wind problems

A shorter show than usual - originally intended to be an 'out and about' show, an idea scuppered by the fact that hardly any of the stuff I recorded outside was audible... Ah well, better luck next time!
