MixTape #011 (Caped Hector)

Another guest mixer, but this time one submitted via email...

'Caped Hector' is - like Eric (ep004) and Richard (ep005) a regular contributor to the Fall Online Forum. He is, I think it's fair to say, one of the more eccentric members, seemingly obsessed with women wearing capes, whelks and Slade.

He sent me his mix via email, describing himself as a 'retired crime-fighter.' I do know his real name, but he asked that, 'in the interests of national security please don't reveal my secret identity to anyone.'

Hector seems to have been under the impression that he was appearing on Desert Island Discs, and sent me his chosen book and luxury item as well as his ten songs...

Funnily enough, the day I was due to post this mix, I saw a post of Facebook that contained a set of album revuews from Smash Hits, and who should be there but LiLiPUT. Hector will doubtless be disappointed to see that it was awarded 2/10.
