TELSTAR CARDBOARD LUNG REMIX FOR THE OCCASION OF THE FUNERAL OF MARGARET THATCHER

This was Mrs Thatcher's favourite record, so what better way to mark her funeral than a very long  remix done largely by the computer on its own while I had  a bath.

" YOUR DAILY FEARS" JOHN HALL AND GLENN BOULTER AT THE SAO PAULO BIENALE

6 hours of "Your Daily Fears" edited down into 2 bite size chunks, oddly prescient in the light of the horsemeat scandal and the floods, chock full of versions of the theme from A Question Of Sport, Mr Ed,  Patti Smith covers, the horoscope sung to school piano and the seductive sound of the Barrow In Furness Tidetables as read by a BBC Siren from a rock in the South Atlantic.
Our thanks to Mobile Radio, our lovely hosts.
