Eclectique 15:05:2010

Ever heard of the Australian film ‘Heaven Tonight’? “No, nor have I” said The Sheik. Then it would be quite rare, you’d think, to find a 45 rpm Single from the movie in a bargain bin at a charity shop “or, highly likely that that’s where you would find it”. Add the fact that ‘Guy Pearce’ is the singer on the record, well then you have you have yourself a rarity indeed, and just the kind of fodder that feeds the Eclectique  playlists week in week out. “But it’s so bad, even I couldn’t give this stray pooch a home. But I did play the b side, and it was quite nice”. So there you go, not just any old oddity is guaranteed a start on the program….. but plenty others are.
