Make way for the The People's Music
A favourite moment during 'Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home' is when a simple question stumps Spock during a complicated test.
“How do you feel?” befuddles his Vulcan mind, yet begins to draw out his human emotions. A classic Trek moment.
Innocent questions are no problem for Sean McGowan who at first resorts to humour when asked: “Are you angry?”
“I'm angry QPR lost to Fulham, I'm angry I never got to see the Clash, I am furious that I can't afford a better car than 'Fiona' my P reg banger.”

A response to the BBC 6 Music John Peel lecture
The listener's approach to John Peel's radio show was probably similar to the mind set of someone considering purchasing an album by 'The Who'.
On one hand you can appreciate each artist’s professional brilliance and on the other you’re anticipating some tracks will be hard on the ear.
With this in mind it makes sense to have a living legend like Who guitarist Pete Townshend give the inaugural BBC 6 Music John Peel lecture. Nowadays most launches need a big name to force the story under the media spotlight and Mr Townshend has all the credentials.

Robin Foster's second album asks the question
From economist to housewife, through shop floor worker and student, the world's plight is putting this question on everyone's lips: “Where do we go from here?”
Its also the title of the second album from Robin Foster, a British musician living in France.
You might not recognise his name but his music could have underscored your television pleasure as tracks from his debut "Life Is Elsewhere" have been used by Hugo Boss, Barclay's and the US show 'One Tree Hill'.
Robin's latest mix of cool/dark instrumentals and songs features the south's Dave Pen the singer from Birdpen and Archive.

Fighting Tyler
Having once been in a band that had a combined age of over 200 years I can definitely say it helped, but not for long.
Experience counts but it is far better to have youth on your side.
With Southampton's latest alternative rock band 'Fighting Tyler' they are lucky to have youth and also years of gigging and theatre experience on their side, rather than life's cruel twists and turns.
