I was going to do five songs from the F-C ipod today, but I can't find Love In Copenhagan by Studio Orkest olv Tony Vos on YouTube. Shame, cos it's one of those lovely girls breathily going la-la-la over a Sixties beat, and probably soundtracked many a groovy European party circa 1968.
So instead, let me tell you about meeting Ricky Gervais last night. Actually there's not much to tell. It was him, Stephen Merchant and that donut Karl Pilkington (is he for real or is it all a clever act?) at the launch of the Ricky Gervais Show, which their podcasts in cartoon form.
I only went because as regular readers will know, I'm not a fan, and I wanted to see how he was thinking on his feet. Would he be defensive, rude, arrogant or funny, warm and approachable? I hate to say it but it was the latter. He was really nice. And genuinely funny. Stephen Merchant I found a bit arch, but Gervais himself was professional, honest and open. What a shock.
I Don't think much of the podcasts though. It's just people sitting a room talking. I really can't get into the whole podcast thing. Life's busy enough. I've got too much music to hear. I've tried with Andrew Collins and the Word, but only because I was mentioned in them. What does that say about me?
While you ponder that here's Sounds Orchestral and another current favourite. Stop me if you've heard it before. Will you be spending the weekend like this woman?
