Hello again,
A note of caution to anyone who doesn't know the song already is that the Jarvis Cocker track that concludes today's selection could hardly be swearier if it tried.
I was moved to include it after learning that MTV have cancelled the 120 Minutes show, by a long margin my main source of new leftfield music over the last three years.
The producers of the show chose Ruling the World as the last song they ever played on it - no love lost between them and their soon to be ex-employers, it would appear...
