Elbow frontman Guy Garvey still mainly lives in Bury, England but he also owns an apartment in New York. The song was influenced by Garvey reading EB White's Here's In New York.

Good morning John !
I realized not long ago that I’ve been listening to your show since 2006, and I still enjoy it as the first time I listened to it. Last week , I think you played PJ Harvey’s You said something song and it reminds me how much I love that song and that Pj is my best female singer ever. I went on spotify and discovered that she released not long ago demo version of its albums. And guess what !? You said something is still excellent. Is it possible for you to play that version? Maybe it would fit your smooth mood! If you can’t what about La Rose by the cinematic orchestra?
Thx ++ and Happy Wednesday !

Today is the third anniversary of the death of my magical friend, Darryl. There just are no words for how much he meant to so many. If you have a chance, could you please play either The Colourfield "Can't Get Enough of You Baby" or PiL "Rise."
Thank you, Greg from Greenlake
Good Morning! Can you play some RTJ this morning for my beloved husband? I woke him up unnecessarily early today (bad wife) and he might need a bit of an energy shot to get him thru.

Yesterday after a long time I listened to my Back to the Egg vinyl by Paul McCartney and Wings which I think is a great album that's underrated, unfortunately. Could please play Arrow Through Me from this album? This song is a great pieces of blue eyed soul and the bass line is incredible.
Hugs and kisses from Rio de Janeiro,
