Who Killed Shakespeare's Sister?
(by μ:[sic])
This week, Faces for Radio have contributed to the quite (and increasingly) popular Podcast Contrast series, run by Tim Young. The theme was 'Who?' and I trawled through the vast catalogue of music I have at my disposal to see if I could find a song with double the 'whos' (not whose) in the title. I shall endeavour to contribute regularly, but am restricted somewhat this week by the necessity to be in Brighton at present for reasons I am not going to go into here. I shall, however, reassure you that I am not indulging in some bizarre reverse-alphabetical tour of the cities of the UK (next stop: Bournemouth).
I said I'd tell all about my meeting with The Fallout Trust and indeed I shall, albeit a little later than I had anticipated. For now, all I can say is that we have a (tentative) "yes" in response to my request that they might do a session on the radio show in the new term. This is quite an encouraging beginning, which fills me with a dangerous optimism that can surely only be dashed to ruins. However, I am going to ask as many popular and upcoming (some local) bands as I can reasonably ask if they can also give us the time for a session and/or interview.
To finish, and to satisfy any desire for some actual music you might be feeling, here are a couple of classic videos that still give me shivers. Perfect for chilling the blood in the summer heat:
Coincidentally, both the videos here seem to include operating tables. That must say something about me. There was another video I was looking for (that also includes an operating table, funnily enough) but I could remember neither the name of the song nor of the artist. That leaves little to go on, short of deliberately seeking out music videos with operating tables in them, which is not at this moment a pressing desire of mine.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers: "Mary Jane's Last Dance"
Buy Anthology: Through the Years from Amazon: UK / US
Buy Hormonally Yours from Amazon: UK / US
And, as a comedy footnote, here's French & Saunders's parody of the video for "Stay":
