Joining us in the Attic for this episode is Steve Gould, of Fusion Festival fame. Eschewing the usual format, we chat over a lovely musical accompaniment provided by Warmrain, The Emerald Dawn, Red Bazar, Equinox, That Joe Payne, IT, and we play out with ‘Dandelion’ by Rain.

Dead Bob Speaks. Show 38 in all its remastered glory.

The latest Pod features Prog Magazine’s Two-Times Winning Unsung Hero (All Rights Reserved), the marvellous Nellie Pitts. Seen here wearing a hat.

Find out why she is/was unsung. Ask yourself why, after the first time she was deemed to be unsung, she won the Unsung Award again. Learn about prog merchandising, multi-tasking, cat-herding, bag slash hat slash making and more. Hear some groovy tunes, including one that has yodelling in it. And above all, you’ll at least begin to try and fathom out all her many and varied different website addresses. Big Baggy Noddy Friday, et al. She’s so busy she has tons, so we  have tried to help her out by reproducing them all below, in a handily readable format. Called English.

This episode sees us in conversation with the very lovely Jim Griffin. We speak about his marvellous album ‘The Signal’, and our shared love of all things Blue Öyster Cult.

He picks out 4 BÖC and related tunes, that are bound to get the forums chattering.

We enjoyed each other’s company quite a bit, so much so that we may well do it all over again sometime soon. Check out Jim’s music here:

He opens himself up to having a shoe thrown at him by Steven Wilson, and recommends a new band to us (Papadosio), so we seamlessly play something by them, too.

Head on over to his Bandcamp page, to check out his back catalogue, and keep appraised of new projects:
