This week marks the second anniversary of the Thursday Evening Soiree and on the menu tonight, a long song from Fleetwood Mac. We hit the road on two wheels, with the air of the Barron Knights and Jasper Carrot to bring a smile. It'll take forever to decice which Hour Two Opener to vote for and we'll take you back to 1973 for our 5-from-10 Chart Recall. Plus your emails and requests, as ever, live from 7pm. Hope to see you then.

I really enjoyed the Fleetwood Mac song and glad that forever in blue jeans won.

The Fleetwood Mac track went down very well. Several comments from people saying how much they enjoyed it. Good call Alec, although we didn't manage to find the particular version you were after. I'll take a listen to the other track you suggested.

Re. Forever in Blue Jeans: It's quite interesting, with these "secret ballots", to see how the voting goes. For quite a while, it looked like Slik would be the runaway winner, but then Neil gradually started making ground and eventually one, by just one vote.

Depends to an extent on who's shows you listen to. I often throw in an album track, not because it's an album track, but because I think it will fit in nicely. Chirpy does too, and we're not the only ones by far. Many of the other jocks also play the rarer stuff, especially if asked. Dave Mason plays some excellent lesser heard tracks. But bear in mind you can't go too far down that route. You need a mixture of the familiar classic tracks, that listeners immidiately recognise and enjoy, along with the good rareities that make people sit up and listen.

When it comes down to it, we are one of the few stations where, as a whole, we'll do our best to find and play whatever's requested. We can't always come up with the goods, but we always do our best.

if its not broken ......

The Drive 97.1 in Chicago will play an album at night. A nice way to incorporate non-stop music as well. But you all must understand that Chicago radio is loaded with adverts and non-stop is a treat for us.

as you know MA we are gaining listeners week on week .. woo hoo .. so the odd rarety is fine i guess but we have to stay loyal to the big plan eh .. plenty of other stations for the old anoracs ;)

Yeah, I'm doing that too.

Thanks Si. Would have liked to have played the longer version of the Barron Knights track, which is a) funnier and b) a lot less crackly, but just didn't have the time. Can't beat a bit of crackly old vinyl ;-)

The Motorhead/Girlschool version of Please Don't Touch is good too!

Yes I like that song too. Kind of like the hippie hippie shake song.
