That is the craziest version of Viva Las Vegas I’ve ever heard. Thanks for playing it. I liked it a whole bunch.
Viva Las Vegas!

Brian. I LOVED the first Beautiful South album when it came out (I was a big Housemartins fan). But I lost touch with them. I think I Might have heard their second album, but nothing ever jumped out at me. This song you played is hilarious! I think it’s time I gave their other stuff a listen. Thanks!
Brian, that version of “Love Will Tear Us Apart” was the weirdest thing I’ve ever heard. Somebody actually requested it??
For more about Tuvan throat singing read Ralph Leighton’s book “Tuva or Bust.” It’s a great read and all about his and Dick Feynman’s trip to Tuva, a place that Feynman had always wanted to visit since he was a kid and collected his first triangular shaped stamp from Tuva.
Hi Brain,
Just heard you mention Lene Lovich on show 122. What exavtly are you after? I run her website (see url).
