After a false start a little while ago, Brigadeer Phillip Agnostin D’Argtanian Tannoy Gargle Pissflap Cope III plonked his posterior into the guest chair for Selection Box 128. I continually say that I am not going to keep noting the number of the show we’re on, as its something I only mark out for my own probably-autistic filing purposes. And yet I continue to announce how many of these by-the-seat-of-the-pants produced pillock presented programmes we’re up to now. Still, worth noting that in around four months we’ll (and that’s very much the royal “we”) be up to 147 shows. Perhaps I’ll have a snooker-themed special to celebrate. Chas & Dave have retired now, so that’s them out the window as potential session guests, but no doubt referee Len Ganley knows how to tap a triangle on cue, so that’s a part of the rhythm section sorted. Actually, he’s probably dead now I think about it. I do know that Steve Davis is a prog rock aficianado, so perhaps this isn’t as daft an idea as it first seemed. The only problem I foresee is that personally I find the majority of prog a bit too, well, shit to play on air.
Yours truly (right) and Phil Cope clearly have nothing in common.
