Jarvis broadcasts from Paris. On This Day, Martin Luther's wedding annoyed Rome; the Soviet Mir diamond mine opened; the Miranda rights were instated; Pioneer 10 made space history; and Mussolini and Hitler met in Venice. Jarvis speaks to musician Andrew WK. He's in the UK playing bass with Current 93. He explains his motivational speaking — they discuss the odd relationship a performer in the spotlight has with the audience. Jarvis asks about his new direction, piano-led album 55 Cadillac. Andrew says he wanted to reach out to people who don't like his usual work. Plus, Jarvis ponders blancmange and tubular bells. Birthdays: Charles the Bald, Gerald Gardner, Basil Rathbone, Dorothy L Sayers, Heinrich Hoffman (creator of creepy Struwwelpeter), Alan Hansen, Malcolm McDowell, Alan Civil, Dennis Locorriere, WB Yeats (Jarvis reads about his religious theories, followed by crackly archive of Yeats reading The Lake Isle of Innisfree). Valete: Michael Wojas.
