17 years ago on the eve of my 54th birthday I uploaded my first mix to CCM. It was using the vocal “Code Monkey Source” by J Coulton. It was uploaded under the name “Radiotimes”. It got 5 recommendations and 6 reviews. Over the years I changed the name from Radiotimes to Shelflife and then to Radioontheshelf. Some have asked why did I change my user name. Was it for some deep symbolic meaning? The truth is far simpler. It was as a result of forgetting my password and not bothering to hunt it down decided to create a new persona.

For most of us we do not have the luxury of a great job and end up daily dragging ourselves to the grindstone of employment. J Coultons words create the image wonderfully and I have taken them and reinterpreted the melody as we singers are want to do.

Many thanks to Mr and Mrs Mous for the sax and added vocals
