Not So Daft

I’ve been looking for an excuse to post the Daft Punk ‘body remix’ videos that have been doing the rounds and what better introduction than a Radio 1 documentary that my friend Talia did. You can check it out here.

That’s probably the first time I’ve listened to Radio 1 since the Tommy Vance Friday Night Rock Show back in 1989.

And if you’re into podcasts - which I’m not at all, but am learning to appreciate slowly - then you need to check out Podcast Dot Com. It’s a really nice idea and the guy behind it is smart as a whip.
