#1 Song on This Date in History
This is cool: you plug in your birthday, or any other day, and it tells you what the #1 songs were on that day, back until about 1940.
On the day I was born:
December 1963 (Oh, What a Night) by The Four Seasons
On Jaq’s day of birth:
Disco Lady by Johnnie Taylor
At least I’ve heard of my birth-song!

With no radio in the car at the moment (I broke the automatic aerial again, and it’s too expensive to justify buying a new one just yet), we tend to put 6 CDs in the stacker, and listen away. At the moment, we have:
- Diesel • Short Cool Ones
- Sheryl Crow • Tuesday Night Music Club
- Coldplay • Parachutes
- Diesel • Solid State Rhyme
- Frank Bennett • Five O’Clock Shadow
- Dido • No Angel
I know, I know, it’s a pretty Early 90s set of discs, but, hey…

ABC Radio National’s All in the Mind recently broadcast a series of four programs entitled “The Emotional Brain.” Unfortunately, I missed the first two episodes, and they’ve since disappeared from the website, or rather, the MP3s have.
I wouldn’t mind getting hold of the missing two episodes, if anyone has them floating around on their hard disk still…
I’ll repeat my mantra that the ABC should keep all of it’s programs available online, for eternity. Storage is cheap.
