Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie present a feast of great music and chat for weekend breakfast.

Today is day two of 2022, so there’s a bit of a ‘two’ theme in today’s tracks. Also, Jim Moir AKA comedian Vic Reeves joins Mark and Stuart to share his 'First, Last and Everything' - that’s the first record he bought, the most recent one he’s been enjoying and the record that means ‘everything’ to him.

Jim came to prominence in the 1990’s with surreal cult comedy TV series ‘Vic Reeves Big Night Out’ alongside comedy partner Bob Mortimer. The pair went on to have success with other TV series including ‘The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer’, ‘Catterick’ and comedy panel show ‘Shooting Stars.’ He is also an accomplished artist.

Jim tells Mark and Stuart about his current musical passions as well as his love of experimental rock group Henry Cow. He also reveals that the first album he bought as a child was a total accident… having just seen Stanley Kubrick’s film ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ at the cinema, he went to the record store to buy the movie’s theme music but mistakenly came away with Space Oddity by David Bowie. He nearly took it back to the shop but the next day, he says, David Bowie was all over the papers so 10-year-old Jim "just claimed it for myself.. I’m really cool, I got this first!”

Also on the show… lots of ‘two’-theme tracks from artists including The Associates, FKA Twigs, Marvin Gaye and Kim Weston, Underworld, Elliott Smith and Elastica. Plus new releases from the likes of Kadhja Bonet, Foals, Steam Down, Wyndow, Nas and Lucy Dacus.
