Best of 2012 - Part 1


Can you hear bells jingling, and boots trudging through the snow? As you dash about preparing for Christmas, Jarvis presents some of his 2012 highlights, the coins in the JCSS Christmas pudding. Featuring Michael Clark talking about David Bowie; Kraftwerk quotes; Edna O'Brien on Francis Bacon's surprising Christmas gift; some of Leonard Cohen's interview; and a clip from when Pam Hogg sat in. Another deputy, Marianne Faithfull, chats to Jefferson Hack and reads some lyrics she's written about 'magical midnight'. Plus, apple nachos; Johnny Trunk praises Dory Previn; the poetic intro to the Sheffield Sunday show; and a clip from A Month of Sundays with Underworld's Karl Hyde. Birthdays: Carla Bruni and Chet Baker.
