  1. Very clever Faces reference in the title. But what has any of this got to do with Indiana Jones?

    1. Thanks, Ernie. The original working title was "Indie Bin Day' so thank goodness I didn't publish that bad idea in the public domain.

      Oops.

      As for Professor Jones, I am reliably informed that he prefers 'Indy' so I hopefully won't be finding myself sued by Messrs. Spielberg and Lucas any time soon.

  2. This is an excellent mix, lots of tunes I haven't heard for a long time and some I've never heard. Cheers!

    1. Thanks, Martin, I'm glad you liked it. Likewise, some of these hadn't troubled my playlist in years!

  3. Ah man, Ray by the House of Love, what a blast from my youth.

    1. I really wasn't bothered by The House Of Love at the time but my jangly music-loving girlfriend was a fan. She took me to see Guy Chadwick perform a solo gig in front of about 100 people upstairs at the legendary Louisiana pub in Bristol in 1998. She had all the albums and compilations and I took a deep diver. Ray is one of my favourites.
