| From the Radio Stars warm-up gig in Southampton, UK, on December 14th 2008. By the time Steve Budney and Martin got to the airport the following day, they were really warmed up., so the gig served its purpose admirably. | |
| Lately we discover footage of the Mammals, who were supporting Radio Stars (London Metro Marchi 1st 2008) as they seemed to have something in common. And getting more common by the day, if you ask us. No matter - effort of the dwarf bounceress notwithstanding, here is the final song in the set - a snatch of 'Plug'n'Play' leads into, natch, 'Anyway Goodbye'. | |
Driven to immediate action by the New Zealand couple who named their child Talulah Does the Hula From Hawaii, here's the demo of the song written the same day that the BBC told the world about it. She successfully took them to court on July 24th 2008.

| 'A Policeman's Lot'... with the help of various members of the audience - London March 2008 | |
| Radio Stars / 'From A Rabbit' from the same evening... | |
| and 'Nervous Wreck' featuring a brief appearance by Kelly St John (as was)... | |
| and 'The Beast of Barnsley'... | |
| and 'No Russians in Russia'... | |
| and finally, the encore of 'Desdemona'. | |
Boston 2007. 'Head in a Coup'. First tune in the set, and a last-minute replacement for 'Jesus'. It's all about spam and mike adjustment. |
|
| 'The Captain of the Pinafore'. The previous night, everything worked perfectly. This time, however, it was a little more unpredictable. We needed a page-turner, perhaps, or a fleet of hand-maidens. WS Gilbert and his pal the other one would have been horrified. We slip seamlessly into a spot of math-prog in the form of 'Hogwash'. | |
| 'No Russians in Russia'. Well, you might as well face the inevitable, although I met one once. Two, in fact. And then we segue into 'It's a Wonderful Life'. And why not? | |
And from an earlier time: Crazy Kids, innit? Trevor White, Martin Gordon and Trevor White keep it real here. |

In which Reg (or is it Rog) gets shot in the mush by Martin Gordon, using a double barrelled-shotgun. Are you looking at me? I said are you looking at ME? Filmed in the days before filming promo videos was de rigeur. At least there was a nice trip down to see Lord Beaulieu in his rather swish house, and something to drink. Most of these people are now dead. Some of them are not. | |
There were no Russians in Russia, at least as far as Radio Stars and Marc Bolan were concerned, in the first episode of his 'Marc' TV show in 1977. Now available as a double DVD from Columbia Music Entertainment in Japan
