The Commissioner’s Magic Cycles . . . .

The astute, receptive and the switched on people, who tuned in to Wireless FM on Tuesday night this week, will have quickly realised that things weren’t normal in Wireless FM land. When it came time for Max’s Magic Circles, the first few words will have conveyed in subtle ways that it was not Max Quirk presiding over his usual 90 minutes of musical magic. Instead, it was The Commissioner sitting in with a playlist designed (hopefully) to keep folks from wanting to clean the budgie’s cage, or hand-wash their socks, or contact The Samaritans.

The musical choices ranged far and wide and offered a welcome reprieve from the mumbling and stumbling that came between them. But you can judge for yourself here:

For those who couldn’t believe their ears, here’s the playlist:

Waterloo Sunset – David Bowie
She’s Got Everything – The Kinks
Monday Morning – Tales of Justine
