 * Comments
 * "I've put it into the machine, but it doesn't seem to have... Actually, I have to be perfectly honest with you, I like to pretend this is due to the machinery not working but it's more to do with me not working. I put the CD casually into the machine without bothering to check if it's actually going round or not. Now it is, I managed to talk my way into a more stable position here"
 * "And as we DJs say, it goes something like this..."
 * "This is the John Peel wingding coming to you live from a concrete canyon at the back of the Royal Festival Hall"
 * "That Thurston Moore's tall, isn't he?"
 * "I'm supposed to tell you you're listening to Radio 1, but you know that already, I suspect"
