We spun the week’s rock and roll roulette wheel and this is where the balls landed …
… why all rock biopics are worth seeing once.
… ‘demixing’: we spent ages perfecting records. Now we’re unperfecting them.
… the adorable hand-drawn flyer the 15 year-old Robert Plant made for his band Blacksnake Moan 60 years ago - “the weirdest, wildest sound in R&B!”
… are all musicians driven by the urge to please their mums?
… Pyjamarama, Crazy Diamond, Cigarettesnalcohol and other rock and roll racehorses.
… why “The Room” by Fabiano do Nascimento and Sam Gendel is “healing music”.
… has anyone been ‘bigger’ than Taylor Swift? And how can she be so universally popular and yet we can go through life without hearing a note of her music?
… the Pet Shop Boys at the London Palladium: “we don’t do waving”.
… “Something's lost but something's gained in living every day” - Joni Mitchell.
… are any possesions more precious than records?
... and birthday guest Kevin Rose recommends the Brian Wilson biopic Love & Mercy - and we talk about Control (Joy Division), Backbeat (the early Beatles), Rocket Man and Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis.
