Episode Hearing 45 year-old records you’d never played & the least likely-looking person to become a rock star
The super-trouper of scrutiny scans this week’s events and lands upon …
… the man who’s played on 21,000 records.
… how Joni Mitchell is still stirring it up aged 81 and why we love her for it.
... the impact of the stadium circuit on rock festivals.
… the longest-surviving group in the world – bowing out at Glastonbury after 66 years!
… “fake indignation” on social media.
… the 40th anniversary of Dead Or Alive’s stunning You Spin Me Round (Like A Record).
… the most unlikely looking person to have ever become a rock star.
… the serial winner of the Bass Player Who Most Resembles An Old Testament Prophet contest.
… why a record untouched for four decades – eg Day Of Radiance by electronic zither master Laraaji - seems to have matured like a fine wine.
… how Donna Summer’s I Feel Love was a new kind of music, one that made you one want endless repetition rather than change.
… “Kevin Ayers drank a pint of Pernod then drove me down a mountain”.
Plus birthday guest Avi Chaudhiri on the connection between Buddy Holly, Mike Mills and Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs.
