Watching a BBC4 TOTP repeat from November 1978 on Friday and noticed these lads in the crowd,

Bopping away to Elton John, which I thought was pretty funny.

Not unlike the Gap one that I have. Really ought to have a leather collar, though.
I scored one of those with the leather collar off eBay a few years ago. The fit was very small and short to the point that I didn’t wear it much. Also the grade of suede was noticeably different from one panel to the next.
Someone on the Modculture (RIP) forum tipped me off to ASOS selling their own version at a decent price which I jumped on. Nicer more uniform suede, nicer colour (sort of camel tan a bit less yellow-y that Levi’s) and the fit was perfect. Sold the Levi’s one back on eBay and broke even or maybe even came out slightly ahead. The Asos one doesn’t have a leather collar which would offer a bit more protection so I make sure to have a shirt collar of some kind on to avoid messing it up! So so far so good!

New podcast. Kate is really reaching for material and coming up with some juicy stuff. Maybe it won't suit purists, but it's still good stuff. Here's the shpeel:

"Direct from sunny St Andrews, Kate Mowbray brings you a show full of surprises. You’ll hear jazz, blues, neo-soul, swamp rock, samba rock, country soul, blue-eyed soul, and what-have-you, from a variety of artists such as Cannonball Adderley, Muddy Waters, Amy Winehouse, Boz Scaggs, Laura Nyro, and more!"

Listen right through to the end so we get our place on the MixCloud charts. I'm meeting Kate for lunch tomorrow, so any comments or requests, let me know. In fact let me know at any time. I'm planning some "home studio" sessions after our Xmas show, which ought to be on 13th Dec.

Great track selection this week, I was just wondering if it was possible for Kate's voice to be a little louder. I don't know if it's because I'm not used to american accents, but I sometimes have a hard time understanding what she says, especially at such a relatively low volume compared to the tracks.
