The DOZENth Episode--Manchester Special

Published: June 11, 2010, 4:23 a.m.

b'OK, I give up--I am playing some fairly well known bands this time--but you have to have the greats in a show about the Manchester scene ( though I am leaving out the Smiths, because they are just too big)--Manchester had my favorite label, Factory records, My favorite producer ( Martin Hannett) and my favorite band ( Joy Division)--plus, a TON of other great bands. \\n\\nI am trying to play a few of the lesser known greats as well , like John Cooper Clarke ( now performing again), more Pauline Murray, plus Ludus, Magazine, Barry Adamson,the Fall ( probably the best known other than Joy Division ), Joy Division ( 2 songs), and A certain Ratio. Too many bands have been left out, but gotta move on to other subjects--the may someday be a Manchester Part 2, who knows? \\n\\nAnyone want to win a T-Shirt? Next episode, there will be another quiz where you can--stay tuned, and like the Cramps used to say, Stay Sick!'
