This week, I can only take so much. Busy boy and a short week in London means this was recorded earlier in the week. News of Whitney Houstons death, made me consider the hypocrisy of people in the music industry, as she’s done nothing in the past ten years, and that tributes appeared unnervingly quickly. 6 Music gets the recognition it deserves, with a great listenership, and Top of The Pops will appear as a web-only show, good news there. Plans to re-imagine Space 1999 as Space 2099 with a new show gets the thumbs up in my book, and I an definitely going to see The Space Nazi Film Iron Sky, when it comes out in April. About time, we’ve been waiting for years!
