It's always when you look like Tony Blackburn that you bump into a rockstar.

It was quite possibly my last student radio show this year today! Of course, I hope to be back after jungle-time, but who can say? However, Elena and I decided that the last show should go out with a bang...afterall, the only interesting parts of the show are the bits that go wrong!

So there I was, trying out my new wig. I bought it for Helen's birthday party this evening. It's a 'Green Party', so I thought I'd twist it a bit and come as Dr Alan Statham from 'Green Wing'...if you haven't seen it, you're either too sensible or haven't lived!

Unfortunately, Elena and I decided that there was much more of a resemblence to Tony Blackburn, especially when donning the headphones to speak into the mic. And so it was, with I in my Tony Blackburn wig and Elena sporting a fluorescent green tutu, that Barry from 'The Futureheads' found us, and asked if Elena was the DJ.

'Pfft', I thought, 'Is this how one greets a great Radio 2 DJ? Radio 1, once upon a time, but probably before your time laddy...'
"No, it's her!" said Elena, pointing.
"Oh right, you just played my song..."

I decided to let his earlier slip pass over me, and invited him in for an interview. Amazingly, he accepted and came into the studio. Remembering that I was dressed as a man, I whipped off the wig, with the exclamation:
"I'm wearing a wig!"

Yes. Smooth. I'm sure Jo Whiley doesn't greet her guests dressed as a man.

The interview went very well, and I shall post a link to it when I've put it up on the internet. However, I'm currently back in the wig, coupled with a moustache, pink tights and a labcoat, so I really ought to go somewhere where there's more freaks like me, or else I'll get arrested! Laters.
