Today's Charity shop purchases

Midsomer Norton has 7 charity shops. The best one is near to us - just around the corner but it doesn't sell DVDs. I asked Susan to see if there was a DVD of the Italian Job and she was chuffed to find it for me. Result. We also picked up three books. The Frome Unzipped one I am in so I already have a copy but I couldn't leave it there.

Dexys On Wogan: "Listen To This"

This is another song played by Mickey Bradley last night.

On 13th September 1985 to celebrate the release of their new album "Don't Stand Me Down", Dexys Midnight Runners appeared on BBC's "Wogan" show, giving a rousing performance of "Listen To This".

Sadly this piece of prime-time publicity did not propel the album to the top of the charts - and it would take many more years before "Don't Stand Me Down" received the wide-spread acclaim it always deserved. Lead Vocals: Kevin Rowland Guitar & Backing Vocals: Billy Adams Violin & Backing Vocals: Helen O'Hara Piano: Vincent Crane Organ: Mick Bolton Drums: Duane Cleveland Bass: Jerry Preston Guitar: Jerod Minnies Trombone: Fayyaz Virji Saxophone: Pol Coussee

Madness - (My Name Is) Michael Caine (Official Video)

Happy birthday Michael Caine. Mickey Bradley played this last night. I am not a Madness fan but I enjoyed it and I thought I would find the video.

Taken from their fifth studio album, Keep Moving, British band Madness released Michael Caine in February 1984 when it spent eight weeks in the UK chart, peaking at number 11. It is unusual for the fact that lead vocals are sung not by Suggs, but by Chas Smash, who wrote the song with drummer Woody.

More serious than most other Madness videos up to that point, the promo for Michael Caine was based on the actor's film The Ipcress File and the song tackles the subject of an IRA informer during the troubles in Northern Ireland. The 'my name is Michael Caine' sample was recorded by Caine himself, who was persuaded to do it by his daughter.

Susan heard this on Boss Radio and liked it in particular the guitar.
