It’s time to explore the ambivalent world of the left and the right on the show this week, dear listener. We were considering doing a show of left tracks -vs- right tracks but, strangely enough, most song-writers out there seem to want to cover both hands at once.
However, we have still managed to a cajole a few nursery rhymes to do battle with each other. We also have not one but two yé-yé takes on the left and the right and there’s even an academic discussion about Indo-European linguistics to look forward to.

Shazam for birds: new app Warblr can identify songs of 220 British birds
A new app has been launched which can identify the songs of 220 British birds. Warblr, has been developed by two scientists, Florence Wilkinson and Dan Stowell, using a grant from Queen Mary University of London’s Innovation Fund. The app costs £3.99 and works in a similar way to Shazam, the music app which identifies songs playing from a huge database of tracks.
The Amazon Left-Hand Portal
We mentioned on the show Amazon’s left-handed store and there’s probably Amazon’s right-handed store if you fancy that.
