In a world that currently seems apocalyptic, the Artemis moon shot has provided a welcome distraction this week and has revealed word of the week “bacronym”. Whisky also provides a distraction this week, particularly the Kentucky kind (which isn’t whisky at all – but “Bourbon whiskey”) – Jack has sent one of his bandmates off to taste Bourbon across America and report back..

Speaking of the Dark Side of the Moon (were we?) Graham enjoyed being made to Shut Up and Listen.

And speaking of blue moons (again, were we?) Graham confuses the film of that name - about a washed-up and ageing lyricist who has an inappropriate crush on a younger woman - with Blue Lagoon (an inappropriate film about an underage romance on a dessert island). Anyway – both Jack and Graham can recommend the Blue Lagoon Moon film.

We do a spot of naming and shaming ……(Blake)

Jack has done some more song requests and braces for Graham’s “notes”, while Graham’s recent musical escapade surpasses Jack’s (extremely low) expectations.

Jack spends time with The Correspondent and has an existential experience with AI music (which he does not rate as A1) while Graham re-lives life in England by spending time with Ben Elton.

And both have birthdays coming up (one of which belongs to one of them).

Email us: mailto:[email protected] – Jack will sing any request………
