Dear readers – if you tuned into Buffet you will have heard an interesting mix of sunshine and post-budget angst. We normally broadcast at tea time, but being moved to the breakfast slot (to make way for coverage of Bradford City Park) made Jenny come over all Wogan. She was even inclined to interpret the Fugazi song Target as an ode to chocolate, so I’ve posted the lyrics below to prove that it is not. Emma delighted us with her latest discovery – the fantastic Nadine Shah, and there is debate about the cowbell – is it the backbone of rock and roll?  (In my opinion, yes! – and I’ve highlighted tracks listed below that feature cowbell, only one of which was chosen deliberately for its presence).

Here’s what we played:

1. THE MIKE SAMMES SINGERS – another marvellous vintage advert
2. THE MONKEES – (Look Out) Here Comes Tomorrow
3. STEREOLAB – Cellulose Sunshine
4. NADINE SHAH – Aching Bones
5. THE EVENS – No Money
6. SHIRLEY BASSEY – Spinning Wheel*
7. MAGIK MARKERS – Body Rot
8. THE FATIMA MANSIONS – Look What I Stole For Us, Darling
9. HUGH MASEKELA – Grazing In The Grass*
10. AC/DC – Back In Black
11. GORILLAZ Ft. ANDRE 3000 & JAMES MURPHY – Do Ya Thing
12. THE VASELINES – Son Of A Gun
13. NEIL DIAMOND – America
14. FUGAZI – Target
15. METRONOMY – Everything Goes My Way*
16. SUPER FURRY ANIMALS – God! Show Me Magic
17. THE BEATLES – Tax Man*

*Features cowbell, and is better for it

Target by Fugazi

It’s cold outside and my hands are dry
Skin is cracked and I realize
That I hate the sound of guitars
A thousand grudging young millionaires
Forcing silence sucking sound
Forced into this conversation

So I say shine let their planets collide
This is the darkening down of my mind
We could be making it oiling like crime
We could be making it staking last dimes
If you want to seize the sound
You don’t need a reservation

The torch is passed it’s yours to return
Lay at their feet now use it to burn
For marketing the use of the word generation
A false alliance of money persuading
Forcing silence sound sucking
Forced into this conversation
Now if you want to seize the sound
You don’t need a reservation
So open so young so target
I can smell your heart you’re a target
