I spose it shows that musicians have always resorted to some pretty questionable things in realising their vision, like pushing themselves close to death or playing golf

A lovingly curated rollout, Live in Phoenix, and the quotes amused me- I thought they were all going to be from the same act, which I guessed was St. Vincent based on the "Creators create" anecdote. The Nylon Curtain couldn't have been more stressful for Billy Joel to make than his solo debut when h...

As for Buckethead, I have listened to a fair few of his releases (13 to be precise) - it was never offensive but never uplifting either.

You've listened to 13 of his albums? And you're sure you're not a fan of his on the sly?

Random even, random odd, which obscure album will get the nod? Entry: 12 Artist: Buckethead Album title: Pike 56 - Cycle RYM score: 2.91/5 from 34 ratings Release date: 2014 Genre: Progressive Rock and Atmospheric Drum & Bass (you don't see that genre clash every day!) https://rateyourmusic.com/rele...

At the moment, yes, but it should be repeated a couple of times a week - will let you know when I have regular time slots for that.

Will look forward to hearing when you've got repeat slots or next week's show if no news before

Late in saying this but I had no idea that that was Neil Hannon on No Regrets along with Neil Tennant, The Format's singer was Nate Ruess, and, before fact-checking the latter factoid, that sought-after writer/producer Jack Antonoff started off as fun.'s guitarist.

Not to worry, I hadn't heard it before and really liked it. I even played it on my new radio show!

Can your show only be heard live? I got to your page on the site but I couldn't see any link to listen to previous shows. I did see that you count down the Weekly Chart on it, though!

However, I have heard another four albums, all of which I rate higher than either of those, namely those by Algiers, AJJ, Kiwi Jr. and my favourite, Bill Fay.

This feels anticlimactic to me because Cold Little Heart has already beaten what I consider a better Beach House song.

Ditto, I still think this BH track's better than the Kiwanuka one though, so Walk in the Park for me!

It's surprising to me, running the songs poll for 2019, how many of the songs that perform very well here perform horribly there. The inverse can be true as well- Cellophane and Final Form didn't last more than a week on here, while Juice bowed out after 3. I'd have thought the Chart disproportiona...
