Darlings! It's the Frightfully Frightful, Queen's Birthday Mosen Explosion! #MosenOnAir
New Zealand was once a British colony you know. We were also a member of the British empire, helping to ensure that the sun never set on it. Now, we're an independent nation but still a member of the British Commonwealth. So it is that on Monday, which it will be when I do this week's jolly old Mosen Explosion, we'll be getting the day off in New Zealand for the long Queen's birthday weekend. And what a nice long queen she is too. I mean man! Man! She's been there a long long time, hence the long queen's birthday. Wait wait I think it might be less ambiguous if we actually call it the Queen's Birthday long weekend. Yes, yes I think that's better. It's a bit like President's day in the US, really, since the current queen had her, like, actual birthday in April.
So on this week's Mosen Explosion right here on The Bell, we're going to endeavour to play music generated from the British Commonwealth, and place special emphasis on Queen. We will rock you, and we will enjoy getting your Queen requests.
But also, let's not for get, it was 47 years ago today, Sergeant Pepper taught the band to play. It's the anniversary of the release of one of the most game-changing, influential albums in history. We'll be playing tracks from Sergeant Pepper, hearing the Beatles talk about the ground-breaking album, and letting you hear rare mixes of some of the songs that in some cases make the songs sound very different.
It's a holiday, so Heidi and Nicola banana will be live in studio saying goodness knows what. Bonnie's here with another very exciting Bonnie Bulletin, yes she's had a particularly good week this week, we take you back in history and let you hear a historic moment in global TV, and of course the wacky news is, well, wacky!
Gosh! What an action-packed show! A show packed with action I tell you! I hope you can find time to join me, I would really appreciate it. It all happens at 2 PM Eastern, 7 PM in the UK, here on http://the-bell.net
