The Game of Goose is referred to in a footnote by the mad narrator/commentator Kinbote in Pale Fire by Vladimir Nabakov when it is compared with Starover Blue. Have a look here: http://nabokovs-butterfly.blogspot.com/2009/10/royal-game-of-goose.html

Interestingly, the three albums not available on Spotify (Back Again..., McIntyre... and Four Lads...) are also the three which are not available on eMusic. And both sources have the same solitary EP. I can't work out what the connection between the "missing" records is. Song rights? Adult content? I can't imagine what it might be.

Ricardo,
I’ve been checking Spotify for HMHB on and off for the last year. Why no Saucy Haulage Ballads, I wonder?

Hear, hear. Apart from anything else we need an outlet for any new sessions in future. As a proportion of air-time I reckon Gideon Coe gives far more attention to HMHB even than Peel did and this must continue.

A direct e-mail to srconsultation@bbc.co.uk is the route they have been plugging on air.

I bet someone would have asked Nige to “get involved” in do a worthy Guy Garvey (?) style protest voiceover, if Geoff hadn’t been in Morocco. Not that I reckon Nigel would have wanted to “get involved”.

But LETTERS MUST BE SENT. It’s what it’s all about.

There’s still plenty of time to let the BBC know what you think re: 6Music.

(Quite frankly, any radio station that plays Joy Division Oven Gloves at five to nine in the morning is a bit special and must be saved at all costs. I actually pogo-ed gleefully into my colleague when they played it.)

Andrew Collings mentioned Running Order Squabble Fest on his 6 music Saturday show, not last Saturday, but the one before. In his excitement he misquotes it as “…half past twelve? half past twelve?”, but I think he gets points for trying. It gave my heart a lift, that’s for sure. Podcast no longer available, sadly
