My guest mixer this week is Simon 'Ding' Archer

Ding not only played bass for The Fall in the early 2000s, he also played a substantial role in much of the group's output in the last 15 years of its existence. He's also played with a wide range of artists such as PJ Harvey, Pixies, Imperial Wax and Red Lorry Yellow Lorry.

We caught up on a Sunday afternoon in mid-May: a bit earlier in the day than I usually do these calls, but he was off to see Dinosaur Jr that evening...
