After a week of struggle, Jarvis rallies us with the words to The Internationale. On This Day: Robert the Bruce was crowned; Typhoid Mary entered quarantine; and Khrushchev became the Soviet premier. Bobby Gillespie joins Jarvis to talk about the 20th anniversary of Screamadelica. He tries to remember where the title came from! He explains how the band moved from guitars to keyboards, getting into sampling, engineering and remixes. He mentions the energy and influence of acid house, and discusses the anniversary shows at Olympia. And there's another audio essay by Taylor Parkes: Pop Is Not a Meritocracy, in which he warns against the disdain hurled at Rebecca Black's song, Friday. Birthdays: Quentin Tarantino, Sir Henry Royce, Sarah Vaughan, Janis Martin, Fred Foy (the voice that introduced The Lone Ranger), Michael York and Billy Mackenzie. Valete: Elizabeth Taylor (Richard Burton describes his deep love for her).
