@Ken From Hyde Park: Is why there's no archive of Billy Jam's show? Others archives are missing, I hope it's not because some hardware fried. These are usually lean times for the station on the financial front

@fred - Yes, a raccoon got into some wires somewhere and power was out for a couple of hours. I guess I meant Downtown Soulville, although that doesn't rhyme. www.wfmu.org...

Christ Mike we cannot escape this song in every bluddy shop over here. Noddy may be a national institution but it was the man with the bad haircut that made the music.
