Mr Trick & Wrongtom: Show #55 (Oct.’09)

… AKA “the one for our Mums”. This week we decided to step up with a fair spread of tracks taking in anything from the 90s loveliness of Girls Against Boys to the Gloria Estefan-toting Lindstrøm & Christabelle. We also feature two of Tom’s worst selections ever, namely bogle covers of Bette Midler and Bryan Adams. No, seriously. On top of that we have the sublime stylings of Lorraine Ellison, the Coltrane-covering Red Holt and, despite protestations, the annual revisit of Meshuggah -- an airing best summed up by the message we received during the show from listener Jesscapeshop via Twitter: “somehow a year between airings doesn’t seem quite long enough”…

So, as ever, grab your cognac, settle into your oxblood leather armchair, put those slipper-covered feet up on the coffee table and join us as we reprise the Camden Lurch for the next 60 minutes…
