W/C 15th July 2024This song comes from an album called The Bridge which was released in 1986. By the time it came out I had become a bit of a devotee of Mr Joel, having borrowed most of his back catalogue from the Denman Library in Retford and recorded them onto TDK C90s.The Bridge was the first album of new material I took any interest in, and the tour for the album was the first time I got to see him perform live at the Birmingham NEC the following year.Even though he doesn't consider it to be one of his best, and actually that it was an unhappy album to make, I have a soft spot for it - we even covered Big Man on Mulberry Street in a band I played with at school.Stay safe.A Matter of Trust - Billy JoelTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity. It started out as a mechanism for me to clear my head, with the hope that by saying stuff out loud it would act as a little bit of self-help. It's remains loose in style, fluid in terms of content and raw - it's a one take, press record and see what happens, affair.If you want to keep in touch with TFM and the other stuff I do then please follow me on Facebook, Insta, Twitter or Patreon. Thanks for getting this far.

It's not every day you get to chat with one of the UK's top plantswomen, a renowned garden designer and the Gandalf of gardening but that was my pleasure when Rosy Hardy, David Stevens and John Stirland all gathered by Rosy's plant stand at the Belvoir Castle Flower and Garden Show. It was a delightful conversation about Summer gardens that I'm sure you'll find informative and entertaining.There's also some bonus clips from this year's annual Glee Garden and Leisure Show at the Birmingham NEC where I took a closer look at composite decking and checked in at the Melcourt stand for an update on where we are with the forthcoming UK peat ban.Thanks to our UK-based sponsors Fitzgerald Laing Decorators:for a free quote and advice on any project, here's their Facebook Group: https://bit.ly/3zvPicBPROUD TO HAVE BEEN A FINALIST IN THE ‘22 GARDEN MEDIA GUILD AWARDS FOR PODCAST OF THE YEAR.

Live from the Birmingham NEC, it's Of Dice and Them! Our heroes are joined by special guest Paul Foxcroft of Questing Time in a particularly nonsensical and D&D-lite adventure, even for them. Special thanks to Paul (@paulfoxcroft) for guesting and making the show particularly difficult for Jack, and to the wonderful Jess Jewell (@doctorbees) for helping in numerous ways during, and in the weeks leading up to, the show. Due to less than ideal recording conditions (i.e. thousands of adoring fans in a cavernous auditorium), the audio quality is less than stellar. For those who can overlook this, enjoy some non-canon nonsense. For those with more delicate audio sensibilities, we'll get them next time, true believers!

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA, and G4BAO on Friday the 22nd of July 2022. Last week was almost a repeat performance of the previous week. We had very disturbed geomagnetic conditions on Tuesday, with the Kp index hitting five. But then other days, like Wednesday, when conditions were much more settled. The solar flux index declined from its high of 176 last Saturday to 133 on Thursday. The Sun's surface is still peppered with spots, but they are all fairly small and innocuous. Nevertheless, there have been numerous C-class flares happening on a daily basis and two M-class flares last Saturday. The popular press has been running their usual horror stories about CMEs hitting the Earth, threatening all sorts of doom and gloom. But to be honest, for radio amateurs, it's business as usual. Sporadic-E had been most prolific earlier in the week with some relatively short-skip signals being stable over long periods. The ED4YAK beacon in Spain on 28.251MHz has often been audible for hours. Next week NOAA predicts that the SFI will remain in the mid-130s, but predicts that geomagnetic conditions may be unstable over the weekend, before settling on Tuesday. If this is the case we can expect reduced MUFs over the weekend and a general lacklustre feel to HF, until the Kp index reduces again. Make the most of the Es season while it lasts, as we may have seen the best of it, and we can't expect an upturn in F2-layer propagation until mid to late September. And now the VHF and up propagation news. It looks like a bit of a propagation mode mixture this coming week with something for everyone. It begins with a continuation of the typical summer warmth rather than the extreme conditions last week. Over northern areas, where low pressure remains close-by, we'll see a few showers that might bring GHz band rain scatter opportunities. There will be a few showers in the south too, but also with a period of the Azores high building a ridge across southern Britain. This could bring some occasional Tropo throughout the week to southern areas, interspersed with isolated rain scatter opportunities in any showery interludes. The Sporadic-E season continues apace with a bit of an uptick again last week, bringing some strong signals from south-eastern Europe. Summer jet streams are often rather scarce in more southern latitudes, but can occur fairly frequently over the UK and northern Europe. That will probably be the case in the coming week and suggests that paths towards Scandinavia, the Baltic states and eastern Europe will do best. With four minor showers peaking around the 28th to the 30th, meteor scatter is worth trying, particularly around dawn, as will aurora propagation modes in view of the current unsettled solar activity. The Moon is at maximum positive declination on Tuesday and also at apogee, its furthest point from Earth, so Moon windows are long and path losses are at their highest. 144MHz sky noise is low to moderate all week, but Thursday sees the Sun and Moon close in the sky, making EME very difficult due to sun noise in the antenna beam width. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

Click here to buy: https://adbl.co/3qKXZt3 One of the first words we learn. Perhaps the best friend we'll have. An animal so much part of our lives that we speak to it like a child and spend small fortunes on its wellbeing and wardrobe. Dogs and humans: in the last 200 years no inter-species relationship has developed so fast nor come so far. Dogs accompany us in every walk of life, usually three times a day. How and why did this relationship begin? How has it changed over the centuries? And who's getting the upper hand? DOG'S BEST FRIEND investigates this unique bond by revisiting some of the most important milestones in our shared journey. It begins with the earliest visual evidence on ancient rock art, and ends at the laboratory that sequenced the first dog genome. En route we encounter the first Labradoodle in Australia, a misguidedly loyal Akita in Japan, an ill-fated Poodle trainer in the United States, and a hilariously disobedient Romanian rescue dog named Kratu at the Birmingham NEC. We will also meet Corgis and Dorgis at the Palace, the weightless mutniks of the Soviet space programme, a Dalmatian who impersonates Hitler, and an owner who claims his Border Collie can remember the names of more than a thousand soft toys. If you own or once owned a dog, you will know that our relationship can be as rich, complicated and rewarding as the relationship we have with other humans, and the book reflects this diversity with the aid of trainers, breeders and psychologists. Above all, it explores the extraordinary ability of dogs to enhance so many aspects of our lives. DOG'S BEST FRIEND is as entertaining as it is informative, as eccentric as it is erudite, and all told with Simon Garfield's irrepressible gift for witty and insightful storytelling.
Young Southpaw chats to Matt & Mauro from the UK ‘Ronettes Punk’ band The Speedways about their new album Radio Sounds, what Eddie Van Halen being in KISS would’ve been like, Billy Ocean/ABBA covers albums, Hanoi Rocks, and much more. Check them out at https://thespeedways.bandcamp.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pg/JustAnotherRegularSummer Young Southpaw: That’s all my questions. Anything else you wanna add? Mauro: There wasn’t much Van Halen in this chat. Matt: No, there wasn’t much Van Halen. YS: Happy to talk about Van Halen. What’s your favourite Van Halen album? Matt: The first one. Cause when I first started playing guitar I loved Eddie Van Halen but I could never play that kind of stuff. But I can play ‘Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love’, with the phaser pedal on it, I can just about get through that. And ‘Runnin’ With The Devil’ I can play that as well. ‘Unchained’, that’s on Fair Warning? YS: Greatest rock song of all time, in my opinion. Matt: I can play that as well. YS: On the 1982 tour they opened with ‘Unchained’ and went into ‘Romeo Delight’ and I think that’s all you ever need ever. [NOTE: It’s actually the other way around, but THE POINT STILL STANDS!] Two of the greatest rock n’ roll songs. And then they always had that third song would be a drum solo, as if two songs were really too taxing to be on stage for and the three of them needed a break. Mauro: Immediately, yeah Matt: I only saw them one time, with Sammy, obviously. At the Birmingham NEC in the UK. I just wanted to see Eddie play, really. I remember being down the front and when he played ‘Eruption’ and everything, that was what I wanted to see. I just wanted to see him play the guitar, just watch him play. Just astonishing, he’s so good. YS: I saw them on the last reunion tour and it seemed like his guitar solo was even faster. Like, you woudn’t think that was even possible. Matt: Yeah, fantastic. Such a great band. Mauro: I’d probably have pick II acutally. I’m one of the Van Halen II club, I reckon. ‘Light Up The Sky’, ‘D.O.A.’, those ones... YS: Oh yeah. ‘Somebody Get Me A Doctor’. Mauro: Yeah. It’s all great. ‘Dance The Night Away’ of course. That’s the closest Van Halen get to power pop, you could argue. Aug Stone augstone.comYoung Southpaw
