...my son Jonathan just said, "woah, is that Michael Jackson?". Yes son, thats him. "Dad, how come he's got fake tan on"???

Can I laugh at this or is it racist, or speaking ill of the dead, or something? :lol:

Couple of great punk or post punk bass guitar lines on there - Babylon's Burning by The Ruts and Into The Valley by The Skids. Tabbed out Babylon's Burning yesterday morning as all the ones on the web are hilariously wrong, but can't get the first two bars of the chorus to sound right. Anyone got a tab for that bit? It's rooted on // D / F-E //

Listening with headphones I get this:

Looks like the BBC are gamely trying to carry on doing the week by week programmes, this Thurs (BBC4 19:30) will be the show originally shown 04/01/79 and features Generation X, Elton John, Ian Dury & the Blockheads, Olivia Newton-John and Racey. By 79 more DJ's were being used so they won't have to keep editing episodes featuring JS and DLT so often with any luck.
