1-2-0-2-2-0-1-2: today's date sounds like a soundcheck! Jarvis asks listeners for film music recommendations, as tonight is the Baftas. Director Grant Gee talks about his film Patience: After Sebald. He describes WG Sebald, his unique writing style, and the trippy journey through Suffolk which Gee tries to recreate in the film – we hear a chilling clip. This Day was the Battle of the Herrings, and Munch's painting The Scream was stolen: there's a [3m37s] soundpiece of the best screams in rock. Jarvis reads some of Darwin's favourite poem The Excursion by Wordsworth, which is about the origins of mankind. Anticipating Valentine's Day, Raina Lampkins-Fielder reads a romantic menu from The Futurist Cookbook. Birthdays: Grant McLennan, Lisa Hannigan, Joseph Jordania (his theory of choral singing), Charles Darwin (poetry), Raymond Kurzweil (on the fusion of people and machines), Ray Manzarek, Franco Zeffirelli, Abraham Lincoln and Darren Aronofsky (aural inspiration from Black Swan).
