As you may or may not know, i live in Canada, and for some reason KSHE doesn't stream their audio to here. I have to connect via a VPN in order to spoof an American address, and this week i was listening from Atlanta, Georgia, again.
Quotation of the week: John Lennon: Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.
I'd completely forgotten, but this was the Memorial Day Weekend in the Divided States of America, and it's traditional for KSHE to do a special “Top 500” countdown all weekend. This meant that it was an abbreviated edition of The Klassics Show – only half as long as usual – which was a shame because there was a lot of wonderful music today. Definitely a grade of “A+.”
Things i learned today: Vienna is Billy Joel's favourite song from his own catalogue; For A Rocker was Jackson Browne's tribute to James Honeyman-Scott, lead guitarist for The Pretenders, who died of heart failure induced by cocaine excesses at the age of 25.
Here, have a playlist, and a photo of Vienna – the city, not the song:
