BBC Radio 6 Music - Chris Hawkins, The Wreck Of The Hespress

Feeling like the Wreck of the Hespress? Hawk will make it all better.

Vicky Blight sits in for Chris Hawkins with 6 Music's secret society of wonderful music and daft chat.

Hawk and Slev found out the origins of the phrase 'feeling like the wreck of the hespress'. They also discussed more of Slev's NME and Sounds magazines from 1988, and why Bruce Dickinson has pointy ears.

The genius weatherman, John Hammond, shared today's forecast, and his disgusting habit, whilst horizontal. The Rockbook Files played out on The Presidents of The U.S.A, and Amy in Evesham chose a furry tune as her Exit Music this morning.But the highlight has to be Hawk's AxelF/Home video story. Yep, another tale from the geek!

Plus music from The Cure, Zola Jesus, John Martyn, Chuck Wood, Jim Jones Revue, and The Pet Shop Boys.
