Girlschool 16th January
Well, it sure is great to be back behind the desk, and rustling through my crate for delicious tunes to play. Girlschool played the best pix of dirty ol' 2006 and played some Quirky Finds of '06 and of course delved into vinyl bought back from Londontown. Keep scrolling down for Maggie Puff's Rocknews.

Sick Kylie Axes Gigs
Kylie Minogue has cancelled two shows after walking off stage on Saturday night.
After 45 minutes of performing at her Manchester gig, she was too ill to continue.
She'd already explained to the audience at the beginning of her set that she had a cold.
But after her sister Dannii joined her on stage to perform Kids, Kylie apologised to her fans and left.
Her management later revealed: "Kylie has a respiratory tract infection."
It's hoped that with five days to recuperate, she'll be back on form for her last two shows in Manchester on Thursday and Friday.
And that's not the only time Kylie has been underperforming, she forgot the words for the second verse of I Believe In You at Wembley last week, saying, "Sorry, can you believe I was thinking about something else?"
George Micheal
On New Year's Eve, self-appointed left-wing political spokesman, George Michael earned around $4m to sing for Russian businessman Vladmir Potanin, the scion of a privileged Communist family. Potanin was one of the architects of the post-Soviet Loans for Shares programme, in which well-placed friends of then-premier Boris Yeltsin were given control of Russia's state enterprises and wealth, and hence became 89th richest man in the world. George is not alone. A Who's Who of rock stars can all be bought by anyone with a fat cheque and private jet, from Bob Dylan to Christina Aguilera, Robbie Williams to Gwen Stefani, Rolling Stones to 50 Cent. In fact, within the music industry only two acts are known for taking a stand and refusing these lucrative invitations - U2 and Bruce Springsteen.
Paula's Odd Behaviour
Paula Abdul's spokesman has had to deny reports that she was drunk during a recent interview.
A video recently appeared on YouTube showing her to be slightly incoherent.
The interview showed her slurring her words, using bizarre gestures and rolling her eyes multiple times at the camera.
This prompted speculation of alcohol or medication... but Paula's spokesman insisted the odd behaviour was a result of tiredness:
"She was sitting in a room with just a camera and a mic on, and the controllers dropped the sound twice, which is why she rolled her eyes...
"She never drinks. I have known Paula Abdul since she was 13, and I have never seen her drink ever in my life. And no, she is not on any kind of medication. She was a little tired."
Paula subsequently cancelled all media interviews on Friday.
In 2005 Paula revealed she suffered from a neurological disorder that caused chronic pain, which required a weekly injection of an anti-inflammatory drug.

Amy Takes Drink Break
She's sung about going to rehab...
And now Amy Winehouse has revealed she's had enough of booze.
The 23-year-old singer said "I'm not drinking anything at the moment. I'm detoxing.
"Normally I drink everything, apart from gin and beer, but nothing at the moment."
Her sobriety comes just days after the singer allegedly threw up during a performance at the GAY club in London...
Amy has said of herself in the past: "I'm a nasty drunk.
Lil' Kim's huge Big Brother demands
Lil' Kim has reportedly demanded one and a half million dollars to appear on Celebrity Big Brother.
UK TV bosses are keen to get the 4ft 11in star on board, but are facing a massive fee in order to do so.
Lil' Kim, real name Kimberley Jones, has already snubbed the original offer of nine hundred thousand dollars to go on the show.
Kim, who was freed from jail in July after a one year prison sentence for perjury, also has a string of contract clauses in mind if she is to appear in the series.
These include final approval on all footage of her, a personal assistant in the house and an all-expenses paid two week holiday in London after the show.
Other stars lined up by producers include H from Steps, Dirk Benedict (aka Face from the A-Team) and footballer Jason Cundy.
