Though you might hear laughing, spinning, swinging madly across the sun, it is in fact just two old lags reviewing the current events, which this week include …
… the made-up scene in A Complete Unknown which Dylan apparently insisted was included.
… the Day of the Locust: do the LA fires spell the end of the Hollywood Dream?
… why does no-one write songs about world events anymore?
… the unwelcome return of AJ Weberman.
… can you date records made between 2000 and 2025?
… Sam & Dave, Booker T & the MGs, the Stax horns, Isaac Hayes and David Porter and their purple patch from ‘65-‘68.
… Led Zeppelin’s five song-stealing court cases – but hadn’t what they stole been stolen in the first place?
… why most biopics would be better as a six-part TV series.
… “where there’s a hit there’s a writ”.
… plus birthday guest John Innes and the best and worst bands names – from Roxy Music to Prefab Sprout.
