Perfect Spud-Pulling Nonsense

Shaun has top-tier tunes to soundtrack your kitchen disco, or a bit of spud-pulling. Diary idiots enter the fray, the pools man cometh, and Microwave Mike gets his thumb out.

Shaun has top-tier tunes to soundtrack your kitchen disco, or a bit of spud-pulling. In this week's show, diary idiots enter the fray, the pools man cometh, and Microwave Mike finally gets his thumb out.

The playlist includes a billion-streamer from Hall & Oates, a brilliant debut from The Undertones, a beautiful bit of country from Mary Gauthier, the first release from Dexys Midnight Runners’ new album, and a Prince-infused tune from Sheila E.

To listen to the show on most smart speakers, say: “Ask BBC Sounds to play Shaun Keaveny", and send any missives to shaun@bbc.co.uk.

Produced by Spiritland Productions for BBC Radio 2.
