Also told George Lazenby there was no future in James Bond films and he should quit the series after one movie.

Should’ve got a knighthood for that alone.

Saw a while ago on Lazenby's wiki page that John Cleese was keen to cast him as Jesus in The Life of Brian, that would have been one hell of a cameo.

I quite like the sound of a "fuck ball".   Sounds like fun

 Isn't everything balearic if you squint hard enough? I'll try for a top 5, but it might be a bit wonky as I've only been to Menorca:

 

5. German prog bloke - E2-E4/Sueno Latino

4. Either of those two Thrashing Doves tracks. Not the one Thatcher liked, though that rocks too.

3. Woodentops' Why Why Why

2. Beloved - Sun Rising (if allowed) or Sweet Harmony/the other ones (if not)

1. Russ Abbott/Joy Division - Atmosphere

 

Sadly, it does all remind me of Camden Market on a weekend.

[Toast 16,129]

I don't know what balearic is. 

I enjoyed these though - thanks

Heh, never thought of that one as balearic dance, but yeah, the 20 minute long guitar part does convey that feeling. The german prog bloke is Manuel Göttsching. Obitable guy - 68 years old now.

Haha, excellent - I might have known someone'd have done that, there's nothing you can think that ain't been thunk and all that.

[En Passant 3,740]

Not sure what qualifies as balearic, but since sweet harmony apparently qualifies this particular version with the counterpoint de da da da da over the top I am very fond of. (yes I know that's not official musical notation :P).

 

 

Fun fact #354, I liked the original 90's track, but this turned up on the end of an episode of Dalziel and Pascoe of all places (s7 e4 for the cognoscenti) and I thought, that's a bit different and a definite improvement for me. Then had to track down which version it actually was.

Death of former Radio 1 DJ Tony Wyn-Jones, aged 77, being widely reported. Was a presenter from 1968 to 73, though I have no recollection of him, despite Radio 1 being the default listening at home at that time.

 

Here's a nice quote from the Birmingham Mail, a once proud local news outlet.

Quote

He is survived by wife-of-53 years Glenys and their three sons David, Andy and the late Johnathan - along with eight grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.

Just the two entries on BBC Genome - for the Christmas Day editions of Junior Choice of 1970 and 1971, when they visited hospitals in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Tony Wyn-Jones did the portion from Wales on both occasions.

After a bit more digging, it seems he was one of the guest DJs on Radio One Club, a precursor to the Radio One Roadshow. It broadcast from a different location each day using one of Radio One's own presenters and a local club DJ. So not a real Radio One DJ at all!

 

There's a brief mention of his name here, albeit with a different spelling.

 God work JQW.. That explains why I didn't immediately recognise him as a Radio 1 DJ. More of a DJ who appeared on Radio 1. I actually checked that website, but just the 'People' link, not the shows. The different spelling explains why he didn't show up in the search.
