Am indeed well if a bit stouter than I need be. Have moved on from Northern California to Mississippi. Are you based in London or at a regional Beeb? As a kind of belated repayment for the "not-Simon" tape, here's a little something I wrote earlier this week directly linked into my time at URY and in York generally:<br /><br />http://www.popmatters.com/pm/post/110028-what-made-the-wedding-present-great-1985-1991/bulbhttp://aesthetics101.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9239778.post-85604799123156628472009-08-21T17:08:58.882-05:002009-08-21T17:08:58.882-05:00Well thats a bit wierd.

Anyway its nothing to do with him (although presumably our tastes must have overlapped) Its er, my writing!<br /><br />14 iced bears were on there btw because i was brought up in Brighton and heard that single for the first time at end of 1986 when i went home from York for Christmas. Do hope you are well after all this time!Jemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13387563245823268630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9239778.post-56319650645971262862009-08-21T11:47:03.683-05:002009-08-21T11:47:03.683-05:00The tape in the first picture looks like its in fa...The tape in the first picture looks like its in fact one of mine. blimey.Jemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13387563245823268630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9239778.post-71176873993969079492007-11-12T12:48:00.000-06:002007-11-12T12:48:00.000-06:003 things.

Peel played the hell out of the singles from CAG and FYW and they charted mainstream on BBC 1. Also I suspectIi influenced URY, being a big HD proponent myself, having Peel on my side didn't hurt either I must add! Probably Simo chose it as a nod to my own tastes, not that he didn't like that record.G. E.
