Stirring the spice-filled gumbo of news and turning the heat up. This week’s nutritious ingredients include ….
… is everything better shorter?
… the greatest opening line in a book ever written
… did Tom Waits, Warren Zevon, Joe Cocker, the Bee Gees, Cheap Trick, Sam Cooke, Talking Heads or Bill Evans make the greatest live album of all time?
… the worst beers Buster Poindexter ever had
… rock stars’ alter egos – Lady Gaga as Jo Calderone, Andy Partridge as Sir John Johns, George Clinton as Mr Wiggles, Justin Hawkins as Sir Voltage Blackthorn!
… Blur, Radiohead, Stones, Doors, Steely Dan, Bowie, Leonard Cohen … they all had a three-year golden streak
… “I’m writing a short letter as I don’t have time to write a long one”
… why the Matrix was a watershed moment
… the three stages of success – getting known, the magnum opus, basking in the glow
… and why we love August N'gutu Leibowitz-Clementine.
Plus Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot, Buckshot La Funke, birthday guest Phil Hopwood and how everyone at the BBC is a gossip.
