 * Comments
 * Show kicks off with a track from a compilation album with a “somewhat controversial title.”
 * Laughter in the background when JP launches into discussion of blues singer Tommy McClennan with, “When I was a lad, I read these jazz magazines….” Quickly clarifies that this was “not a euphemism” and they were “magazines about jazz.”
 * Says he now doesn’t know anyone he knew before the age of 28, except members of his family and his mate Sparrow Harrison. “Kind of sad, isn’t it? Could be a Home Truths story.”
 * Invasion of Iraq would take place the following month. Tom Lehrer and Higher Intelligence Agency tracks appear timely.
 * First night of receiving text messages as well as emails amd seems most gratified by the response.
 * Presses the wrong button and fails first time to play ‘Inhilation Blues” by Aereogramme, who are the second in a week of session artists beginning with the letter A. Says he had originally been down to take the Vincent Price role in their version of ‘Thriller’ and regrets he didn’t.
 * “Here’s a White Stripes tune that I can play you,” he says, still smarting about recent grief from record company over playing tracks from their latest album. The 1998 single later turned up in John Peel's Record Box.

Session

 * Aerogramme #3 First broadcast. No known commercial release.
