Twenty years after they broke up, the Geraldine Fibbers (my favorite band) recorded a new song for the vinyl reissue of their debut album. I'm happy as a clam.

I see that the top 10 songs on Smooth Radio are as follows:-
1. Careless Whisper - George Michael
2. A Different Corner - George Michael
3. Someone Like You - Adele
4. Hello - Adele
5. Dancing Queen - Abba *
6. I Will Always Love you - Whitney Houston
7. Make you feel my love - Adele
8. You're the first etc - Barry White
9. Don't let the song go down on me - George & Elton
10. Rolling in the Deep - Adele
Thank goodness I don't ever listen to that station.
* The only one I would choose to listen to!
No 9.I always thought Elton was singing "Don't let your son go down on me"
Thought it was a bit odd but never interested enough to investigate further.
My lady friend has bought tickets for us to see Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes for my birthday in London in June.
RIP Chris Cornell 
I bought Silver/lead by Wire when last in the UK - marvellous, of course.

Pink Flag is still my only Wire album. It's time for me to work my way through their catalogue.

You've got a lot to work through, Gordon! May I suggest you start with two stunning albums from the late eighties, The Ideal Copy and A Bell is a Cup. Unlike anything else around at the time, or since, come to that. Utterly original. Thanks to Horseradish for the Eardrum Buzz link!
No one remembers Talk Talk. It's a shame.
I thought that was the Detroit Spinners, One of my favourite Soul/R & B/disco groups.
