Selection Box – it’s as easy as 123 (and 122)

Someone keeps speeding up time and dashing away all the time to update Selection Box’s legions of fans (and indicators suggest that could be up to as many as three people) as to what tracks it is that they’ve heard on the show, even though I’ve told them all during the programme. Pay attention, cloth-ears.

Thatll never work.

That'll never work.

Selection Box show 122 was marred by the infuriating skipping of one of them new-fangled compact disc contraptions. They’re going to replace vinyl and tapes, apparently, but I can’t see them catching on. This particular “CD” – as I believe they’re snappily referred to – seemed determined not to play the full glory of The Monster Mash– Bobby Boris Pickett & The Crypt Kickers’ example of one of those rarest of beasts – a comedy song which is a genuinely great record.

Gil Scott-Heron - Im New Here

Gil Scott-Heron - I"m New Here

The new album by Gil Scott-Heron came as something of a surprise to me, but what a wonderful surprise it was! Although I don’t make a habit of having a ‘featured album’, I’m New Here was this week’s featured album.

I’m not sure if you heard Joel White’s Too Much Too Young earlier in the day, but he played the new single by Oh No Ono.  Some bands don’t make a video for singles, but ONO have made three for their new one, and are asking you the fan to vote for your favourite:

This is what I played in Eclectic Mainline last night:
