It's a grey afternoon, so let's get cosy. We hear about the album http://www.itstartshear.com. John Lennon explains his infamous 'bigger than Jesus' remark, made On This Day. Jarvis talks about car boot sale record finds: he shares his best (featuring musical game O'Grady Says) and his worst. He also grumbles about The Iron Lady's Oscar win and plays some film music, including the theme from The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner: he reads some of the original story. Jeremy Deller has an exhibition at The Hayward Gallery and has produced a record by a busker named Chuck. Plus: disco Star Wars, panpipes, weather-themed music, and today in 1861 the Confederate States adopted the stars and bars. Finally, some Monkees-related songs to mark the passing of Davy Jones. Birthdays: Paul Mauriat, Alan Sillitoe, Angus MacLise, Bobby Womack, Sam Taylor-Wood, Patrick Moore (talking to Frank Sidebottom), Kenny Dalglish and Stina Nordenstam.
