It's BBC 6 Music's 10th birthday today - welcome to the party! We begin with Procol Harum meditating on the meaning of life, then do some vigorous warm-up exercises with Her Levi's. Sham 69 create drama at the bar, then we clear our heads with some fun tongue-twisters. The party revs up, there's a chance for a sexy slow dance, then we wind down in the chillout zone. Jarvis closes by explaining that the party is for the listeners because it's thanks to our dedication that 6 Music has made it to its 10th birthday. Birthdays: Douglas Adams (on predicting the future), Rupert Murdoch (on the power of the papers), Bobby McFerrin, Nina Hagen (preaching), Thora Birch and Harvey Mandel.
