Having taken a bit of a back seat with last month's listener requests, I've not however been idle and have been accumulating tracks for you. The problem now is I have a lot, so I must refocus and choose which ones to post.


Last week I finally watched a TV show broadcast at the end of last year called incorrectly 'The Decade the Music Died'. I knew exactly where they were coming from but the music never dies, it just fades out. The programme featured the many artists, young and old, who'd left us in the past 10 years. Though it didn't by any means include everyone. Ric Ocasek of The Cars for one, who died last September.
While searching 'The Cars' a lot of videos came up '(Live on Fridays)' or simply '(live) - Fridays' - which seemed to good to ignore. Turns out it's a late night 
ABC network, weekly cult comedy show called 'Fridays' from the early 1980s. Lots of appearances by The Cars, so here is 6 foot 3 Ric (in case you think the video is distorted) singing 'Touch and Go'. Nice melodic guitar solo from Elliot Easton too > live on Fridays

Another one from the same show has comedian Larry David with hair introducing 'Since You're Gone' > www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_2qkBsf6dA
