Our ‘big air’ manoeuvres on the rock and roll ski jump this week land the following tricks …

 

… why don’t we re-use old protest songs instead of writing new ones?

 

… “a temple of music and gothic lust:” would YOU buy Jim Steinman’s unsellable home?

 

… when Madness played on the Buck House roof

 

… Ptolomaic Terrascope? Aquarium Drunkard? Real and made-up music magazines

 

… “too complicated, not catchy, like a high-minded think-piece”: U2’s Days Of Ash EP

 

… when the Ramones invaded the London library

 

… Rod, Elton, Adele, Noel, Ed … do they cut it as National Treasures?

 

… “the best sport still works with the sound off”

 

… what links Steely Dan to American College Football?

 

… plus the Bishop of Ramsbury, Robyn’s “dream doner” and birthday guest Keith Adsley with a quiz about American college football walk-out music.
