Straight-up legend Jake Shears broadcasts from a rare week off in Laguna Beach to talk about his brilliant and summer-defining solo album Last Man Dancing, and: spontaneous New Orleans house parties, Jessie Ware, Alison Goldfrapp, Padam Padam, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, the gentle heaviness of Queens of the Stone Age, life as a gay teen in Seattle the year Nirvana broke, Dan Savage as mentor, the magnetic pull of Emerald City, what he looks for in a man, and a surprising semi-celebrity crush (who we have independently researched and can verify could get it).
