Why The Big Paws?

Why The Big Paws?

Rhubarb Radio has kindly consented to allow your very own BiNS-ers Jon & Jules to have a show — on the internet radio and everything. It’ll be what you’d expect from us — intelligent, amusing, cool, and featuring ELO (maybe). We’d love you to listen to us live (at Rhubarb Radio.com — click on the ‘Listen Live’ button) so you can abuse us via Twitter or email — the show is on Saturday mornings between 8am and 10am. But if you’re not awake, or by a computer there’s ways of listening again on the website. The show’s got its own blog – thebigpaws.co.uk where we’ll post track listings and links to any stuff we mention that has links. Follow The Big Paws on Twitter for the easiest way to talk to us during the show. We will also be live-tweeting our track list. (What is Twitter? Here’s a handy guide to get you started.) There’s a facebook group, if that’s the sort of thing you like. Our studio dogsbody will be collecting any messages or requests (we’ll only play good stuff tho’). So tune in at 8am Saturday, you know it makes sense.

May I gain your permission to send you some details on the upcoming British “ELO’s Great Hits” concerts of the Former ELEC. LIGHT ORCHESTRA and E.L.O. PT Two Classic Members, now referred to as THE ORCHESTRA? I would be grateful if you would visit http://www.eloformermembers.com/optin.php?email=xxxxxxxx to agree. These shows start on the 4th of March and you can review the schedule on the website www.orchestrafan.com to determine if you would like further details. Thanks so much, R.J  JOHNSON Permission Requests Now that’s direct marketing SPAM, who else do you know that would be interested (no enough to actually go, but interested) in the touring plans of a bunch of people that may have been in a band with Jeff Lynne at some point? And not even good people that have been in a band with Jeff Lynne (Dylan, George Harrision, Tom Petty, Bev Bevan…). Oh, and it looks like they’re playing at...
