Arrivederci Didier

I had such a good time with my friend from work, Didier, on the air last month, and really dug the tracks he played that I asked him to come back one last time before he heads back to Italy next week with some more.

Didier will never be forgotten, if only because he turned me onto Pinguini Tattici Nucleari (Tactical Nuclear Penguins), and as reasons to be remembered go, that’s gotta be one of the better ones.
