Obscured By...

Sadly, there were two more RIPs to announce and commemorate - Bob Welch, ex-Fleetwood Mac guitarist and Eduard Khil, the Russian artist behind probably the most successful meme of recent times - quite different musically but both making their own mark on the world.    Elsewhere in the show, we continued with some favourite themes such as bizarre covers, rare singles from any place and any time, Australian obscurities, even some current Welsh music from Houdini Dax and Colorama.  Indeed, we - that is, all three "dots" - even saw fit to include a Wa Wa Nee single.  Have we no shame?  That's a rhetorical question, btw.
