It went like this: my extraordinary Aunt Rachel had a splendid brainstorm on the subject of 'corn', sent it to me (in the form of a word document - we're not telepathic), I read it on the air and played a set of songs that were in some way related to corn. Case in point: existence is extremely worthwhile (especially if you consider that I also played tracks from a lovely Wildcats cassette and Prince's new album)!
