DaveTheBass	Last Gimme Some TOTP this thursday as it's peaking... If I recall Brendon sings this one live (look out for a black mike rather than the silver fake calrec). Rock Me tx date was 24.5.77 and it get's one show when it was in the breakers.
Pumpkinhead	This week's TOTP had some good stuff on it (especially the The Rubettes). There were no real poor songs, although I thought Brendon's was the weakest. Musically I couldn't give a stuff whether tom, dick or harry had a criminal conviction or not.
JK2006	No; they just took on the non exclusive distribution - like Decca did - I continued to produce for whoever I liked (i.e. Bay City Rollers - Bell - never been paid) and I could place my tracks with other labels if I liked. I started going off being a "label boss" when 10cc broke contract for more money; I continued for a few years but my heart wasn't in it - despite huge offers to buy the label I never sold it or let others run it.

JK2006	It's a bit like hip hop innit? No respectable rapper hasn't been convicted of something.
