Music and dialogue from The Valley of the Dolls open the show. On This Day, Thomas Edison patented the phonograph, which enabled us to listen to recorded music, and New York exchanged hands. Songwriter Dory Previn died this week on Valentine's Day. We hear a megamix of her songs and clips of an interview in which she discusses mental health, Judy Garland, songwriting and how sad songs can be funny. Jarvis tells the controversial story of Tyneham House in Dorset; and talks about film, including a new documentary about Serge Gainsbourg. Plus another chance to hear Jarvis reading from The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter. Birthdays: Carson McCullers, Tony Iommi (remembering the day he lost his fingertips), Seal, Lee Marvin (on his screen persona), Nicolaus Copernicus (why he was so groundbreaking) and Beth Ditto.
