Appears On (Mixes): Dub Club: It's Raining Again - Matt

Song Notes: We're pretty much in the pitch blackness here, but, man, what an exquisite piece of storytelling. This is a monologue from Chris Morris' radio show Blue Jam (and the compilation CD of some of the best bits). If you enjoy this, I'd recommend checking out the entire series, which is available for download if you look for it. Also recommended is his TV work, particularly Jam (based on Blue Jam) and Brass Eye, his parody of the ubiquitous TV News Magazine Show. This was also based on a series of columns he wrote under the name of Richard Geefe, though there are many differences (obviously, as the forms of radio and print are drastically different). Not a very cheery track, but such wonderful wordplay and perfect use of language. One of my all time favorites. - Rev. Syung Myung Me
