Have not heard a single Remix that has been anything other than excellent that they have done, plus all there own stuff is ace.

Barn Door Varney

Am I the only person that has never heard of any of these songs?

I must be getting old!!

AFKABartram

believe me, you're not alone

Off_it

I'm happy to report that although I have heard of some of the artistes I do not know any of the songs mentioned by name - and I am totally comfortable with that fact.

The Equaliser

Different language to me.

(puts on cardigan and slippers).

Salad

If you want to listen to one new album, many people will recommend Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsytem.

If you want to listen to an album with your pipe and slippers then try Coles Corner by Richard Hawley.

Both excellent.

Chirpy Red

Can't we do your top tunes from 1982 please? Gawd you lot make me feel old!
I do hear some new songs on the radio but I can never remember who is who. So I'll just say some of the above are amongst my favourites too.
