That Seu Jorge was taken from this odd film, John.

Which remains to this day the only thing I've ever watched on BBC 3.
The boss requested Jorge's Bowie covers album one Xmas and I can confirm that it drives you mad after just a few listens ..

Missed that one Paul - they look like a mottley bunch - you say he did a whole album of Bowie covers... perhaps not the one for me!

.......I was just thinking that it'd been a while since we'd had a trip to Vanuatu.

No particular reason except that I was reminded at the weekend of how good 'Kulanjan' was, and I'd temporarily (I hope) forgotten about it.

I do the same with that particular one - always good to return to; always.

on O'Bama's list of favourite CD's apparently (for what that's worth...)

I'm digging about tidying up the old cassettes, finding empty boxes, chuckin' out stuff that I only vaguely remember ever having and cherishing some compilations from sadly departed pals. Anyway I'm also looking through tapes with no labels (plenty of them, I can tell you) and I found something I'd been looking for for ages from an old kershaw programme - must be from mid 80s. I didn't even have the title of the song but put some of the lyrics in thinking I was bowling a googly but up the Googlers came with a bit of youtube - Sweet Honey in the Rock - Testimony. Gloriously happy I feel.

I was intrigued by this story because it doesn't fit in with North Korea's supposedly anti pop stances. My first guess was that it suggested slippage under the new leadership. Maybe the western fascination of King Jong Un did extend to music after all and not just to Disney and all of the Nike trainers and Jackie Chan movies he enjoyed while in Switzerland.



But then I found this article from 2006 which suggests his father might have been into Deep Purple and Hawkwind. Arguably the real problem with the country isn't censorship but rather a problem with good taste -
