About M Means Music
From the publisher's feed
We love music, and we want you to love it too. In our podcast, we take some of the best known albums and put them to the test. Informed, enthusiastic, perfect if you’re well on your musical journey…
or merely just starting out, every subject will be put under the M Means Music microscope to be rigorously reviewed by five stringent criteria.
One; moment, where does it fit?
Two; music, what does it sound like?
Three; modern art, what does it look like?
Four; members, who made it?
and
Five; memory: has time being kind to it?
And it’s all totally based on my opinion. Who am I? My name is Daryl and I’ve got over 40 years in pop music. I’ve sold it, I’ve written about it, released it, talked about it, and I play it in public while waving my arms. M Means Music is cheerful, upbeat, informative, looking at the many twists and turns of popular music. Maybe we are selecting an album because it is celebrating an anniversary; maybe an artist has reached a significant birthday, maybe we just fancy shining a light on an album we love. Do join me!
