Just a quick Viva-Radio Pyjamarama show catch-up before I start getting serious with some actual Acute Records-related post. That’s right, we have NEWS. But I have to catch up with Viva. I’ve started a series of shows where all the songs have a certain word in the title. Brilliant framing device or lazy novelty? You be the judge. But before I talk about those, I had two more shows since the last one. These will sometimes appear in the Pyjamarama archives…or go out and buy all these records and re-create the playlists at home. What are you lazy?
