Listen "Quan Yeomans' inner child"
Episode Synopsis
Quan Yeomans is a guy who likes to play. Whether fronting Regurgitator for the past quarter century and bringing his songwriting clout to their punk, pop, and electronic missives, stepping out with the hyper sounds of Happyland, or collaborating on any number of other projects, there’s a sense of childlike wonder, of curiosity and risk, to all he does.That’s why I asked him to Take 5 with his inner child songs. I wanted to hear that music that, for him, captured that sense of freedom, of newness, of the silliness of childhood. What I didn’t realise when I came up with the theme though, was that his late father was a psychiatrist. And the concept and exploration of the inner child, is something he had been exploring his whole life. From James Chance to The Velvet Underground to Peggy Lee, this is a perfectly wonderful trip through Quan’s brain and musical heart.Contort Yourself - James ChanceShave 'Em Dry - Lucille BoganDumb Head - Ginny ArnellAfter Hours (Closet Mix) - Velvet UndergroundIs That All There Is? - Peggy Lee/Robert Norberg
