2015-10-18: The Sisters of Mercy are playing tonight at the Roundhouse in Camden. Jarvis asks: can listeners suggest other bands named after songs, books or films? On This Day in 1922, the BBC was founded; and in 1954, the first transistor radio went on the market, transforming how people could engage with music. We hear the entire Mt Vernon and Fairway EP by The Beach Boys, a spoken word short story about a magic radio. And today is International Necktie Day. Birthdays include Martina Navratilova, Klaus Kinski, Chuck Berry, Jean-Claude Van Damme (talking about environmentalism), Anita O'Day and Rick Moody.
