International Coffee Day


Caffeinated songs are sprinkled like coffee granules through the frothy milk of this International Coffee Day programme. This Day also saw the sausagey-sounding Battle of Salamis. Just how do you design an aspect of everyday urban life? Jarvis interviews the audio designers who are creating a new sound for electric cars. We check out the Bright Phoebus Revisited project. Richard Hawley reads a story, The Crimson Kite by Michael Ward, musically accompanied by I Monster. Jarvis shares a devilish recipe for tiramisu. And has this drummer drunk too much coffee? Birthdays: Michelangelo Antonioni, Caravaggio, Brett Anderson (on striving to sing Suede songs), Alan McGee (iPhones are 'technological psychedelia'), Billy Butlin (archive ads and a redcoat in action), Sebastian Coe (running as a vocation), Gilles Peterson yesterday (considering his name), Mike Post, Jean-Luc Ponty, László Bíró, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ian McShane (on baddies) and Scout Niblett.
