Something to take with you see a pub quiz tonight a big pop quiz night.

Chris we think comes from Kingston I'll say what I mean I was last on the chain was raw even dreams burn done excuse me. From Kingston I said we think because Chris clearly the reasons I don't know has been taking. Prisoner by a bomb villain in a gigantic subterranean tank and so given that is round that good of him to ring him for the chain. Chain. A la. Christopher Columbus. Congratulations call or something of the cause of a hostage video that was never any from Chris Christie thing you from Kingston. Christopher Columbus. That is definitely my favorite reggae song about an explorer and I include in that before you say it in Ferdinand Miguel and by Prince far I and 2 are hired by musical year. Squire angry denunciation of Christopher Columbus the 15th century Explorer that will set such a jaunty tune to soar sweet in the pale bit isn't it but then again Christopher Columbus is a damn blasted line to say Burning Spear aka Winston Rodney I think for climbing through a. Kind of Mogadishu and see imperialist song in it because I think he's kind of claiming you know Chris people say Christopher Columbus discovered America and discovered Jamaica in the West Indies and he said night it was there all the time and we were mates with a guy. So I don't know if you can use that as a link in the chain and of course hash tag pray for Christopher let's Sorry Chris from Kingston So let's try to get him out of the tank that he's in at some point but he suggested that Christopher Columbus by Burning Spear as a Burning Spear was the artistic norm to a plume of Winston Rodney that was produced by Aston Barrett aka family man of the whalers the album's artwork features a man on a horse. And Christopher Columbus of course crossed the Atlantic 4 times in the late 15th century hoping to reach Japan but instead landing 1st on what is now I sound Salvador in the Bahamas so. Explorer's.

Personally I'm Erica Fisher to reason may is carrying out what's expected to be the most extensive reshuffle of her cabinet since she became prime minister 18 months ago so far the Immigration Minister Brandon Lewis has replaced the Patrick McLoughlin as Conservative Party chairman the Northern Ireland Secretary James Brokenshire has resigned for health reasons he said he would be undergoing surgery for a lesion on a lung in the next few weeks this I think really important time in Northern Ireland with the restoration of devolved government wants to see that renewed getting back into talks process Bret's of negotiations and also dealing with the issues of the past that requires complete focus energy and intents and with my surgery coming I'm not going to be in a position to give that sort of effort to form a youth football coach Barrie been now has pleaded guilty to 7 offenses of indecent assault against boys aged between 11 and 14 the 63 year old who's now known as Richard Jones admitted the charges at Liverpool Crown Court the trial has started of Dominic Schapelle the former boss of b h s who bought the company for one pound only for it to go bust a year later the 51 year old is charged with failing to provide information and documents to the pension regulator which he denies Andy Murray has undergone surgery in Melbourne on the longstanding hip injury which caused him to miss the Australian Open he pulled out last week saying he was considering whether to have an operation he hasn't played in a professional tournament since Wimbledon last year the former men's British number one tennis player Andrew Castle who's had a replacement hip says it's extremely sad news it's not a disaster setting up tragic He said the most marvelous career he's got you know 2 lovely children a home and a fantastic marriage so you know that the positive that the positives of there is just that you know his retirement if this is what they see us or his inability to go ahead and challenge for majors again is not on his terms which is which is a shame solicitors have been bracing themselves for a.

That was my that was empire of the sun we are the people music new. Music and it's crazy. I'm going to is going to familiarize myself with music news. Radio one extra. Little Bear. Realize I do my own you should you know radio has actually had a doctor to. Anyway here is Elizabeth Happy New Year how happy you know seniors out of our 1st show together from the right. We're going to start with some musicians not looking at this over the weekend and Lana Del Rey and Radiohead just a little bit of news on this as a lot of Del Ray has said that she's been sued by Radiohead for copying creep. Over the weekend Radiohead with taking action over her song get free which is the closing track on her latest album Lost to life and apparently reportedly is very similar to creep which is interesting because you know Joe had themselves with us that successfully say you know by the Holies for create for you which they said was there too much like the I that I breathe and all but how into my cable world are listed as the songwriters that they receive royalties for Craig really you know they got what their listeners Coca-Cola right is yeah yeah yeah yeah Well no exactly concessional going Cochins. But it's over the weekend so I want the whole these Alabamans all song for the and the 1st time I ever heard crape I'm thinking this is a good one they got that bear me thinking that's the. Only. Yeah I mean it's interesting it's this you know similar Co progression. Not be the beginning of. So long ago by she tweeted saying it's true about the lawsuits she went on state that she offered Radiohead 40 percent of publishing royalties but that lawyers once a 100 percent and she said in court 100 percent of us radio has 4 come and they say no comment Ok. Musician people probably know he he's worked with fire yanked many other things but he said that writer heads allegations most likely based on the co progression in the songs respective states which will head to the Ok but he noted that the case might not be a result of Radiohead sitting around feeling annoyed about your own co-productions it might be that lawyer might be the lawyer lawyers Yes yes exactly may know big media may not even be coming from a bad yeah here's a lot of dough rise tax Ounds like whoa. Well there's no doubt salute you no doubt that those are the same for causes Yeah but the die would be as I always say when this coming from me on the show Michael said that there are only so many color combinations and I bet there's anyway this is a creep. Yes lightly different paces it is the 2nd obsoleted the same color just a question of whether a supposed they've been used in song since time immemorial I don't know light LEDs that spirit and yet to heaven and whether it's the same code Yeah you know relations who are in you know certainly very good a copy or not is certainly very similar isn't it anyway no over the weekend I got some sad news because. I play a lot on the freak zone as well France gal the French yes singer passed away yeah she did at the age of 70 and she'd been suffering from cancer 14 years rose to fame in the 1960 s. a Big part of the yes seen as the website the Figaro websites that this morning she really captures kind of what that scene was about in terms of the freedom of girls in post-war France. And it's a brilliant sort of kitsch sense of freedom about that state is now and I mean the title of it is a nod to the British saying botch Les greats of prominence because there was not so in France for French speak French Yeah and you know why this might be interesting tries to 6 music listeners. A lot of songs for her musicians on the thing he wrote Your Vision Song Contest winning song she won in 65 teams and she did some look them back. Stole Ragdoll and yeah. Fire covered it and then there was some controversy controversy life wasn't there between the. Because she said that she didn't know that his songs were actually full of innuendo just things like lollipop that's right. Born into a musical family her father was a singer and singer and songwriter Robert go who wrote songs for Edith Piaf Ok so yeah I just I mean you know like that it's not nice all that world of some kind of comes mental pop we should be very sneered up when I was very fashionable but it's great still a bit more charming and fashionable to say I don't have friends yeah absolutely. Let's have some better Sebastian nice nice and so they started the new year by shiny new track called the same star which we have on this show have the very 1st exclusive radio play from anywhere in the world ever great in a moment brilliant does that make sense yeah Charly going to have got to hear them they say so on the right yeah so this is from parts of the band's new trilogy every piece which we reported on last year they're all being released in that same title how solve our human problems I spoke to Stu about this before Christmas he was saying he's become interested in both his philosophy and lots of artist at the moment a kind of concentrate on problems on an international political level like he's actually interested in what we can days individuals and the impacts that can have run on a bigger level Ok. He wrote songs for all the easy pieces in Glasgow we've already heard I'll be your pilot from this which is the 2nd I don't. Really Care And so the 2nd e.p. That's released on the 19th of January the 3rd is released on February 16th this track is produced by Leo Abrahams and it's written by Sarah Martin who plays for filing the coda guitar she plays. So she is telling us how some develops I just know it kind of had the chorus idea for. Constructed it that really. It is only really got 3 chords but most of it I was kind of showing the band didn't take them on $2.00 and $3.00 chords really and then kind of disappeared for half an hour and came back with 3 words and I. Already had some words and we just kind of for a fiction picked and chose between between various bits and just. Managed to hire it together. And here she is that so knows why I decided to kind of release the piece in this way as well I think the prospect of doing a whole album a couple of the guy in the band or having you know they were having me babies of not not consist of obviously but their wives and partners were now and I think it was a little bit of a daunting prospect to think about sort of tackling a whole a whole album really just you know the prospect of touring after being in a project in Longo and I think there was a notion that it would be really nice to just do what is sort of what we did in $97.00 which was just make a few songs and then put them out and then make a few more songs and put the matter not have this sort of huge edifice that you've got to build just to be able to kind of so he bowed down. And. So this is the new track from Belle and Sebastian the same star. Love the way that it was really like a 1st time has been played anywhere the same star new track from Belle and Sebastian a little bit say with the music we're going to see oh yes so today would have been David Bowie 75 today it's 2 years since he passed away but some of the occasion today previously unheard demo version obvious classic single Let's Dance these being released its title track from its 93 album which was the most commercially successful of his career saw him reinvent himself yet again from kind of chart topping stadium. And that song was a fast that he wrote songs with no Raja's he played the song for Nial on acoustic guitar when I went to see Switzerland see him in their 98 say they were so pleased with it that they recorded a set of demos straight away the only state to local jazz musicians recommended to them by the Jazz Festival on December 19th 1980 they recorded a funky stripped back demo for the song and that demo has been mixed properly for the 1st time by now Rodgers I'm going to hear in a moment but 1st. Sports now Raja's on Friday and he told me more about him yes. We know we want to be. Here we had done a lot of research in America before he asked me to come to this which was we had gone to libraries and. To people's houses with extensive record collections who were just out there looking in the musical universe to see what was exciting out there what can we stumble upon because we didn't know we honestly didn't have a clue so one day he comes to my apartment he has a little richer record but he's hiding behind his back and he knocks on my door open the door and he says not I want my records are found like this and pulls up this picture a little Richard I knew what he was talking about. I now understood David's way of communicating so he can communicate through eye Moggridge iconography different photos and language and so when he showed me that he was showing me holistically what he wanted a future that could be but now but in fact it already has. So when he wrote this 1st motif I thought I would call it because it's not a complete song lyric and a lyric and he came into my bedroom and. I think this is it and he starts singing let stand anything in the song he say you know less than to this little you know the radio listener and in his mind this is all news about the relationship between people and the dance that we do in life like you know maybe about speed to stop this honestly all sorts of these sort of spiritual things that he was thinking it wasn't about a dance on the dance floor so to speak and I just thought to write him. David you know lot of we bring it down the earth and let's let's make it a dance record you say it's the 1st thing that you says it stands for the planet radio I've heard a great well yeah let's dance to the song we're going to radio ask him to let me different arrangement of it and like not only was he not offended he was through he was like yeah let me see how you use it because when he played for me it sounded like a folk song 12 string guitar and I'm like wow do with it what it is you know Bob Dylan here you know we're we don't work and. You know I called my friend Claude nobs from the Monterey Jazz Festival We hired 3 jazz guys we didn't even know their names when we went to the band Queen we went to their studio was called Mountain it map artist which flew in and we just went over there in those guys showed up I had written out the charts for them and they just played the charts down and this new new it's funny this recording is the very 1st time we played it back out David sense of anticipation was so giddy and so funny it was amazing results like a title he was just having the time of his life but finally at the end of the record I leave on his comment because he's just it's it's like he's gone on the journey with us it's like Ok now you're right I get it it can work as a funk song you know this is the real deal one take we never had to play it again we never said Ok let's play it again and try and make it better we did it one dance with do it and we did it one day in America. I. Do think. Alcopops now Raja's found a piece a friend called nobs at the Monterey Jazz Festival that the 1st 20 minutes are indeed all the conversations with Claude not just people he kind of color jokes about his name was God I was that he was. Just like derail me he must have pulled him out everywhere he goes he must have to go yeah yeah yeah I just got to get him all over with you know I hope you feel better soon etc I've got to next a 5 minute drive. And there was no Raj is there no I mean. Oh Tony Collins also read prefer much prefer that it was a cracking track by Belle and Sebastian you know I was going Yeah it's great so. Why doesn't every now we're going to hear the demo that now was talking about let's down show we show actually why we got knowledge on 3 finish the music news with this oh no this is going well and did them using me. Thank you very much. So this is the demo version of let's dance that he played to you know if you know if he has no you know you. Know that it's just you mean it is it that way when you've had to cross your throat just thanks. To you on your own. Loss that she wouldn't get called nobs for tomorrow.
