Twelve Months of Music: October
Peckham Rye, October 12th, pissing with rain, 7 am, waiting for the bus, or late 1970s Manchester estates, or a shelled out post apocalyptic New York perhaps, of concrete blue. Such is the atmosphere for October’s playlist…

- Trouble Every Day Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention
- The 15th Wire
- Você Não Serve Prá Mim Roberto Carlos
- I Heard It Through the Grapevine The Slits
- North by North The Bats
- Stay Hungry (live) Talking Heads
- Waiting for the Man David Bowie
- The Ghost Burning Spear
- Ghost Town The Specials
- High Tension Wire The Fall
- Halleluhwah Can
I recommend Eat That Question: Frank Zappa in His Own Words for some good sense. I can’t say I rate Zappa that much as a musician and, like most modern artists, he totally lost his power to produce art, but he was splendidly articulate. Take a look at this teevee interview in which he talks about schools. Good to show in schools, I have found.
