John Cooper Clarke sits in, playing lots of great rare records for us while Jarvis is in Chile. John's not feeling very well, but his default setting is 'laughing through the tears' so he plays some songs related to ill health. He also muses about having to choose between very different guitar stylings — considers the great Manchester bands ('the end is listless') — pays tribute to the late Herbert Lom, remembering his psychiatrist drama The Human Jungle — notes that Bob Lind was born On This Day — recalls an anecdote about Elvis seeing shapes in the clouds — and talks fondly of the Spanish. John will return to the station on Christmas Day with a selection box of festive tunes.
