    Leo Sayer & Roger Daltry - Giving It All Away


    Leo is in his natural habitat - BBC 2, in his favourite time slot - Monday evenings, with an old flame. Who? Dalters of course! But is he getting burned up all over again or does he know better now?

  • Ep 6 Prt 3 When I Need You

    Glen Campbell & Leo Sayer - When I Need You


    Take a left off memory lane, pass the school on your left, then when you reach the dinner, (dinner?), cafe, do a 'U-ey', and you can re-enter the studio (which will then be on my left?) after you pass the laundromat (Laundromat?), where you wash clothes you know?? (But do I not need to turn right back into memory lane first?), no its a different entrance, just mind the tramp that lives in the phonebox there, has a habit of passing out on the sidewalk (sidewalk?), pavement. Then when you enter the carpa..bla...... bla ............


    Hey thanks for the directions earlier matey. I found the place! Exactly like you said, except I saw 2 tramps actually, ha ha. So anyway, this schedule says the show starts in 15 minutes, where's Glen?

  • Ep 6 Prt 2 Memories/I'll Remember You

    Nancy Sinatra & Glen Campbell - Memories/I'll Remember You.


    A glitch at Recall Towers has meant that Ross's digitally imprinted audio memory is being broadcast from a distant planet existing in an unkown timezone where the above the bonnet symptoms of sinisitus are considered to be the zenith of conversational finery, and pints of mucusy fortified red wine are delivered to your doorstep every morn to have with your tea and shredded wheat. Thus, this memory, from whence ever year its from, has sadly not been sweetened like the grapey good stuff, despite what Nancy says. Luckily Glen the interupting cow seems to jolt the signal a little at the halfway point so by the end it feels like its been remembered for you WHOLESALE! Or your money back (Tom sounds clear as a bell throughout).

  • Ep 6 prt 1 Some Velvet Morning

    Some Velvet Morning- Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood.


    Ross and Tom wake up with sore heads and haunted dreams still circling their intertwined subconscious after having their Chivers Regal spiked by old mucker, Bob from Twin Peaks, I mean shitkicker savant, Lee Hazlewood. Or was it Frank? Either way, there's no crushed velvet or sacharine smiles in sight this morning. Just really really dirty jeans and a huge pungent dollop of regret. Nancy looking on from on high, tut tuts, rolls her eyes and whispers 'men' as she strolls off down her daffodil strewn marble corridor.

  • Ep 5 prt 6 - Well Did You Evah!

    Debbie Harry & Iggy Pop - Well Did You Evah!


    Did you know that our Iggy, the Godfather Of Punk, who grew up in a trailer park, could have been the president of the USA? He was hobnobbing in the right circles for a while.. I guess there’s still time. Fingers crossed. And Debbie Harry aka ‘Dirty Harry’ could & should have been a queen of the silver screen like her fairy godmother Maryline Monroe. Here they both get to play at being part of High Society, and well do they evah! Punk rock style. Alex Cox does a good job of concocting a visual feast of post punk pomp as punk royalty stride their way into the 1990s as the king and queen of the music world. A grand way to complete our wheel of intrigue this time round. I must say it’s been absolutely ‘swellegant!!’.

  • Ep 5 prt 5 Heart Of Glass

    Dolly Parton & Debbie Harry - Heart Of Glass.


    Dolly, not satisfied with the almost perfect union of souls and haircuts she was blessed with in the last visitation, puts her feelers out in search of an even more kindred of spirits, if only there was a singer her age, a woman, who was also BLOND. Like Dolls herself!! Hmm…Ahh, yeah, we got one, her management delivers, ‘and she conveniently fits into the rock genre!’ Great! Blondie you say?!! How can it go wrong! So who is this sister from another mister they talk of? Deborah!! Who? Harry?? Ermm. Listen! Oh. Boxes ticked. But this aint country. Or soul. Or even rock???

    Its tech… no? Tech what? Tech. No. Yes. Ohh alright. But i thought this was gonna get me into the ROCK N ROLL hall of fame? Dont worry Dolly, its all good. Times is changin Dolly, times changed. Right, I guess we aint gonna be shortnin bread together..

  • Ep 5 prt 4 Up Above My Head

    Dolly Parton & Patti La Belle - Up Above My Head.


    …they hear music in their hair. And it sure sounds angelic. If god were a hairdresser this is the music to help you tolerate the holy one’s latest cosmic holiday horror stories from the southern regions. It truely is the music of the shears.

    This phonically (and folically) gifted pair of belters have also been to hell and back. So do they still believe? Oh yes. They really do believe. Oh yes they do believe!! But do they believe? They really really do believe!!!! Wow, they really do gel.

  • Ep 5 prt 3 Time To Kiss

    Fred Schneider & Patti La Belle - Time To Kiss


    Not having to pow-wow any more with his right-on college buds on campus who say sex is for fascists, Fred has decided to fly the nest and is officially, now, OFF THE LEASH. Giving James Elroy a run for his money, would-be marmalade patterned panty sniffer extraordinaire monsignor Fred Schneider has become entrenched in a dazzling new obsession. Patti La Belle. And who can blame him. With about 17 octaves of lazer-precise sonic artillery in her armoury and pipes that would outshine those in the Notre Dame Cathedral, there is nobody out there worth their hoistered socks who would not want to light that snuggly fire, get this girl onto the sheepskin and give her a good KISSING. He’s just gotta say the word, but not blessed with quite the same expressive range of pipage, the whole affair seems to be considerably more difficult to consumate.

  • Ep 5 prt 2 Private Idaho

    The B52s (Fred Schneider & Kate Pierson) - Private Idaho


    Leaving Iggy to lick his wounds after his destined to failure, triumphalist girly mission inevitably collapses, Kate, who was absolutely having none of it, goes back to her day job. Cleaning the pools in the snazzy properties of IDAHO, yes, idaho. Orange groves as far as the eye can see. Patios glistening in the bake it to make it suburban meadow. A guy without a child sitting ON A BENCH. Call 911. Oh hes a pop star? Lock him up anyway. And her. Teach them a lesson. What were these freakishly pimpled Athens college kids doing there in the first place?

  • Ep 5 Prt 1 Candy

    Iggy Pop & Kate Pierson - Candy


    It’s been so long…jeez… nearly a year… i recall, a rainy afternoon. You were only 5, if that, my SICZ subscribers. But I cant stop thinking about you. And ive decided we should all marry. Yes now. I dont care if you only listened once. You’re one of us now, and here is our passionate prose to prove it.

    Old sinewy alien grandpa Iggy is also on a dodgy one and is heading home to hunt down a whimsical memory of a devotee unfettered by nasty cynical cityboy criticism and the evils of age, after being burnt by the bright lights again. Oh no. Mum and Dad lie shuddering in their shawls after the call, they had such good intentions rearing his middle class ass up in a trailer park, little did they know that trailer park, well of course it equals:::: trailer trash. Nice idea though.
