Yup. Missed that too. Wasn’t it Linda AND Mary? Huller om buller?

Isn’t Iron & Wine massively underrated?

That was one of her own favourites too. Good choice!

I got the big book (which is a great volume) with her photos and was surprised by how many of my favourite artist portraits that were done by her.

Wish I […]

TMT? I’m either too young or too old to get that reference.

I can understand that criticism even if I don’t agree. He’s very conceptual and has had various colour codes (The White Stripes – white/red/black, solo – blue).

But what I meant was he hasn’t made decisions based […]

Well, I play Wrecking Ball more than BTR. It doesn’t HAVE to mean I prefer Wrecking Ball, of course.

Though Thunder Road, Born To Run, Meeting Across The River and Jungleland. And 10th Avenue Freez-Out. […]

Great chat, fellas! You could do another 20 hours if you want to. Twang have mercy on the man who doubts what he’s sure of.

My top five albums would be (right now, anyway) Darkness, River, Tom Joad, Magic and Wrecking Ball.

No, but it hadn’t been properly recorded and still appeared in the movie when George is playing it for Ringo and others. So they needed a version that wasn’t just a demo.

He’s one of my favourites. Great songwriter, and he does what he wants to do rather than what would be good for his ‘career’ or ‘brand’, whatever any of those are supposed to mean.

“If you change your hair to […]

Well, I’m not sure I’m joking.

I would pay for that, just to annoy myself if nothing else.

The Trooper by Iron Maiden. Especially live when they play it slightly faster, Bruce can only really breathe between the verses.

Sex Pistols? They only made one album, so I guess they have to make the most of it.

Live At Hull? (2012)

Those Iron Maiden-boys made me read Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, due to their song and album, er, Brave New World. I don’t know if it was the translation, but I found it very poorly written. Come to think […]

I hope he pulls through. In an article in Rolling Stone he mentions a 90 percent chance of making it.

Nice!

Yes. This is a proper mystery. Was it because they wanted to stick to the ‘live in the studio’ philosophy? Apart from Spector’s overdubbing in general, I guess. Strange days indeed. Most peculiar, mama.

You just keep getting better and better. Great work, guys! Looking forward to the 72 minute episode on You Know My Name (extended Ant 3 version, of course).

Thanks in advance!

I loved Closer the first time I heard it. UP took me years to properly ‘get’. Glad I kept on returning to it.
