After two weeks away in Japan, it was good to see The Sheik back in the cockpit in Studio A. While an overnight flight left him a little shy on sleep, he wasn’t being shy behind the mic “I don’t know what I’ll say, but I do know what I’ll play”. And so he went [...]

Just the 18 different sports finals to contend with for potential listeners to this weeks show, but most games were finished with right on the buzzer that brought in the Eclectique show. The Sheik managed to produce a show of ‘Finals’ quality, even though he claimed he had “no eyesight for the first 30 mins” [...]

“There’s something about Spring that makes me feel, I don’t know, different” says The Sheik. Well there’s plenty of reasons Sheik, it’s finals time in the footy, your beloved horse racing hits peak season and not to mention the weather heats up. “yeah there’s all that, but the other day I picked some flowers off [...]

“I’m not sure what the request was” says The sheik, “I didn’t quite hear it properly”, so it’s hard to confirm which Eurovision song was the one called in and requested by a dear listener on Saturday Night. “It wasn’t even a request as such, it was more of a ‘I would’ve played (insert name) [...]

Picture a time, 70 years from now, the world will be going through the ’80′s again. By then everyone will have gone through their own ‘Sixties’ and ‘Seventies’. Right now we don’t have to clarify that a song was from the 1980′s and not the 1880′s. But in 2080 they may have to do just [...]

After a couple of weeks stuck in other parts of the country, it was ‘welcome back’ to the big chair at Studio A for The Sheik. And what a welcome back it was indeed. New presenters from 8-10 p.m. (hello “Liquorice Pizza”) and a brand new (old) mixer (thing) for the turntables. It was enough, [...]

In Van Morrison’s song “It Stoned Me” he sings the lyrics “stoned me just like Jelly Roll”. Is the reference to ‘Jelly Roll’ a reference to the great Pianist Jelly Roll Morton? Or a type of pastry with Jam in it? or is he referring to a mans genitalia? The questions was posed via regular [...]
