Direct from the Government Yard in Trenchtown where, over cornmeal porridge by a log wood fire, the events of the week are gently appraised, among them … … how Bob Marley, the Walker Brothers, the Byrds, Hendrix, Ramones, Blondie and Nirvana “got the dust of England on their boots”. … Chappell Roan’s demands for “a living wage” in a business built on inequity. … why audio books surprise you in ways the print edition can’t. … Beyonce? Best Country album? You sure? … “separate immediately”: Marsha Hunt and the secret of a successful marriage. … Bowie, Queen, the Velvet Underground: how the most streamed songs are rarely what you’d expect. … when London, New York and LA were the centres of the universe. … Bookends, Randy Newman’s Good Old Boys and other albums with a narrative. … when the Police, Pistols and Clash tried to conquer America. … Miles Copeland Senior in Ben Macintyre’s A Spy Among Friends. … “the film world is constructed around 100 actors, eight of whom are celebrated every year”. … plus birthday guest Keith Adsley turns the lights out for Pitchblack Playback – albums you should hear in the dark.Find out more about how to help us to keep the conversation going: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Hosted on Acast.
