I did see a Dublin band Interskalactic a while back, who were quite similar to Bombskare. Very good live band, apparently they have been on The Late Late Show before.

Hello, it's Glastonbury weekend on the BBC so there's all sorts all over the schedules. No BBC Three anymore, alas, but BBC Four and BBC Two have lots going on.

If you have access to the BBC Red Button, there'll be more on that and if you have a UK IP address you can stream a huge amount from the BBC Website,

"Rock and Roll and Brew?"

I've been singing "Rock and Roll and Roo" for years.

Ah well.

Meat gets taken for granted a lot.

Anyone who doesn't own at least one copy of Bat out of Hell ... don't wait until he's not here to enjoy the royalties

If this song wasn't used to accompany In Vision Pages from Ceefax, it certainly sounds like it did.
