A change does the world of good so for a one off today I’ve eschewed music in favour of TV.
If you don’t laugh at at least one sketch on here then there is something wrong with you.

Empire Strikes Back is on TV today so I’m going to get my feet up and cheer on cool Han Solo and moaning twat Luke Skywalker in their attempt to kick Darth Vader’s head in. So today’s classic Saturday is a good old Beastie Boys / Empire video mash up.
Beastie Boys – Sabotage (1994)
Smoothly done video. In fact smoother than Billy Dee-Williams and that’s saying something!

This week we are graced with a classic from the pen of the “quiet Beatle”.

Yesterday was John Lennon’s birthday so today’s classic saturday is in memory to the legend.
Instant Karma – John lennon
Not sure what Yoko is doing with a sanny pad over her eyes mind you.
Joy Orbison
I first heard of Joy Orbison, known to his mum as Peter O’Grady, way back in July via Henry Barne’s New Music On Wednesday column on the Guardian website. Gilles Peterson then started playing it on his Worldwide show and now Zane Lowe is playing it to the wider masses too so chances are you’ve already heard this excellent slice of dance / dubstep / drum n bass / 2-step / or whatever it’s called today. If not then get clicking and turn it up.
XLR8R have a link to a recent mix he’s done too. Clicky for the goods…
