So yesterday I sent an email to [Steve Lamacq] at [6music] suggesting a ‘national anthem’ track (a track with aptly fits a headline from the days news), and today I get this:

Hey John,

thanks for your email. Was wondering if you would be interested in talking part in our good day bad day slot for today? Our guy we had lined up has just pulled out leaving us a bit in the lurch!

We’d need you to pick two tracks which correspond to your choices for a good day / bad day and then come on to have a quick friendly chat with Steve at 4.45. Do you think you’d be about?

But I can’t!! Because I need to leave work by 4:30 in order to be able to see on the last bit of the ride home!!

bugger!
