    Hi, I am listener from Virginia, just getting into the podcast thing. I love the show and have a suggestion. There is a band that I am friends with that covers No Diggity originally by Blackstreet. The band is Virginia Coalition on their CD “Ok To Go”. Their website is http://www.virginiacoalition.com. The song is a hidden track, but there are a number of shows at archive.org that have a live verison of the song. I am a huge Virginia Coalition fan and would love to hear them in my favorite podcast. Thanks, Eric

    Hi Brian

    Thanks for playing my request for the Kate Rusby track. I’m not surprised it wasn’t the only request. It’ll be fun to hear the Jason Wade version at some point in the future, too.

    I am ashamed to say I DIDN’T get the Style Council song! And, WE PLAYED THAT SONG AT OUR WEDDING! AAAARRRGGG!

    Love the show anyway (as always). Kudo to Johnee Bee.

    It was good to hear the Lick the Tins version, which I mentioned in a comment a week or so ago. Netflix should be sending us Some Kind of Wonderful soon. I’d forgotten it was on the soundtrack, I just remember it as a ghost of vinyl past.
    The Kate Rusby version of You Belong to Me is great. It’ll help me forget the dreadful version that was featured on Ally McBeal.
    Thanks!

    I really liked the cover of Whitney Houston. Byrne can make any lyric sound intelligent, thoughtful and deep.
