erm, not that keen on Adel Farooq, moving on...

AK goes straight to the heart of the matter with the interview with Rashid.

There's a pic of Le Group Bali on the site

John, I don't know. I really don't want to go to Dubai. It sounds like a gigantic Bluewater but with desert skiing. My idea of hell on earth.

Once in the old hitching days I ended up a day and a half in Las Vegas - Andy in Dubai is having me recollect those days when I felt a total stranger in a strange land. I didn't approve either.

did you set off aiming for Cornwall by any chance?

[johncorrigan]

It was just I thought I heard a guy in Le Group Bali - but maybe that's what the Humi does.

[Lateralthinking1]

.....sorry, but this is very ordinary hip-hop soundwise. Had a look before the programme at the country's music. It was all about foreign workers. Rock, metal, ska and schouscene which I can only imagine is like a poor version of My Bloody Valentine. No rain there generally but if anything much gloomier. All glitz. No soul.

I was exiled after knocking a bobby's bunnet off, G.

[Globaltruth]

Desert Heat on Youtube? Of course...

another good show maybe even great, a wide variety, some duff stuff, once again about an hour too short...

[johncorrigan]

So what is it guys - South Algeria, Gobi or Dubai? - I know which one it isn't!

[Globaltruth]

South Algeria for me, most like Morocco, a place I must revisit whilst I still can.

[Lateralthinking1]

1 Gobi 2 South Algeria 3 Village Hall 4004 Dubai.......and I'm not kidding. For the last 45 minutes R3 has been completely absent from the FM dial here. Must be something I said earlier.

[johncorrigan]

Gobi for me, I think - in running from car to house I mixed the name of Le Group Bali with the three piece Mongolian troupe - must listen again.

[Lateralthinking1]

John - Did they speed up the meeting for you?

[johncorrigan]

Na - all those years of experience; I took them through at a different pace - oh yeah and someone forgot to turn the heating on - minus 4 out there - minus 8 in the Hall - every little helps, Lat.

:cool2: Hope they brought their woolly jumpers.

I missed the temple while on Plan B - DAB - so it was Plan C - Internet - in the end. Good trial run for when the martians land. I loved the beatbox one too John. Need to check some of the names now. I may have been a bit harsh in my comments on those hip-hop lads but they weren't exactly singing in the best of contexts. Overall, a good programme - doesn't it fly by when we are doing this? - but I liked the first one better.
