To be face. To face. With. Thank you very much to the hundreds of people that sent me an e-mail in the past 7 days I have a much bigger I know it's been popular in the last few days in particular I love it's a request to get through on the program sent a lot. You can still e-mail still taking suggestions for future stereo underground playlists and of course if you're on Twitter join the Twitter say use the stereo underground when you tweet or do a search for the hashtag stereo underground and join the conversation as well I'm going to try this one for Will. Who called the program when driving back I think it was part home from a reading match years ago and he always gets in touch every now and again and says Come on Richard from the darkness. Well why this one have. a Christmas legal frankly. But you can't be the original I don't let the bells and Christmas time from the Dahmus on the stereo underground for the b.b.c. This is Richard last day with you for 2 hours of alternative anthems that indie classics every wake and tonight are featured artist it's the clash at all via Swat and I have had the clashes featured artist many times in the 4 Knopf years we've been doing this nonsense but tonight we're going to have 3 more tracks from them in 3 tracks that you don't often hear from their back catalogue which is very rich and plentiful in the 1st track I'm going to combine with a cracking story if you've got a good story of a gig you've been to this turned out to be good bad or. Barkley let me know a semi multilateral b.b.c. Don't care for you like it get chance to play a track on your some limited edition stereo underground b. Amounts in the post and I'm going to be sending some to Clive Clive Sherwood who's emailed latter b.b.c. Locos u.k. Saying Richard what a fantastic programme stereo underdone is I'm so disappointed I only found it about a month ago I can't get stereo to go where I live here in North cam but I do listen on the b.b.c. Sounds a aural Freeview such a shame we can only get past episodes about the last 3 or 4 weeks I know I know one could do about it I can't afford to put more up I wanted to contribute a good story for a beer mat or a few and when I heard he played Joe Jackson and stepping out the other day it prompted me to send this for the story is kind of a wrong around the wrong way because it's a big story we have a listen to this Richard back in the eighty's I was doing my apprenticeship as an electrician in a large company in Lewisham one of the girls working in our app an office hosted a Halloween party at our flat and he invited a bunch of us from work and a load of her mates when I got there I immediately noticed a very pretty dark haired beautiful girl with a party dress on and no costume sitting with a friend dressed as a dominate Trix I didn't leave it long before I made my way over to say hi to the pretty one and asked why she had a costume she turned out to be from Wales and didn't want to travel down or kissing our in the same gear as the other girls there which was basically just black underwear so I just brought a few props with her I'm not grasp of the props Well I think them or make up our own minds our own imagination their thank you live anyway we got talking about music and gigs and playfully throwing beer mats at each other of the song was done to the other one's taste we ended up dancing the night away to indie rock disco and anything else going on at the end of the night we slept together on the floor with about 10 other drunken louts surrounded by empty beer cans and fag butts and in the morning she said she had to get a coach back to Wales she had a great time I said I wanted to see her again she wrote her name and number on one of our beer mats and I drove her to the Victoria Coach Station to the sound of Joe Jackson stepping out I promise to call in a cup. Days we both said we'd work our way to definitively see each other we hugged we kissed like we'd known each other for months instead of just half a party and I drove home in my clapped out for Capri was stepping out blaring out of the radio cassette and love in my heart it was a Friday night party I got home to mom and dad's crawled into bed for a couple of hours to recover. Caught up my share of the next day and while I was in there my mom bless her put my smelly clothes in the wash and I suddenly remembered an hour or so later on the beer merits I managed to get the washing machine open slid the soggy beer matter out from my back pocket I inspected both sides and the only writing still readable was the word Hofmeister so cruel Washington can never get close but beer bats no problem this is in the days before Facebook and mobile phones of course what was I going to do I called the phone at the office she would know of course she would which she didn't she just said they were friends and friends and friends of friends there. Give me all the friends numbers you have I need to trace this girl Richard I tried everything no one remembered her they remembered us they just thought we were an item and it arrived together who was this Welsh girl no one knew I didn't have a hope for about a year and I kept asking but I never ever found out I've now been married for 25 years and I've got a 17 and a 21 year old son and daughter but surely this deserves a waterproof beermats. I hate to say it but the paramount so I'm giving away they're not waterproof either but I will play a track because he said for he got the clashes the featured artist what about the magnificent 7 hopefully this will make you feel better Clive in a kind of cathartic way.

Across the south would love to hear a track by Brian's very own fishes fishes ie as I believe some people call him down Andy again largely overlooked in this country but big all around Europe in the early eighties including a number one in Holland no less Well I say they rarely get a play on the radio these days what about the brilliant so long or perhaps even pretty piracy to Miles.
