HAPPY XMAS EVERYONE! We bring series one of What Goes Around to an end in fine style with a BUMPER Christmas cracker of a show featuring some familiar voices from our first year in the pod-o-sphere! What a show it is too, like many a Christmas we start off with a quick trip to A&E. Anne and Eamon reminisce about their experiences over the first 20 episodes and the amazing guests they have had on, then theres an exchange of gifts and warm glow of seasonal joy. From there we welcome a cavalcade of Christmas guests including M Z Harrison who pops in to wish us well and share her 'Solitary.Christmas' project with us. The wonderful Jo Wallace of Ramrock Records is back as our resident Agony Aunt, sharing her wisdom and bearing her soul to listeners in desperate need of advice. The irrepressible Wrongtom returns to help us choose our official What Goes Around Christmas theme. We have an alternative Queens speech from our very own Queen, Karen Arthur. And finally Bibi Lynch brings the show to a climax by offering Anne and Eamon the chance to share their own Phonographic Memories with you at last.  

We would like to say thank you to each and every listener who helped the show grow so fast this year and we would also like to offer our eternal gratitude to our fabulous roll call of guests: Wrongtom, M Z Harrison, Tim Plester, Hannah Cartwright, Pete Rogers, Marcus Brigstocke, Bibi Lynch, Karen Arthur, Tom Ravenscroft, Miles Chapman, Soweto Kinch, Kieron J Walsh, Jo Wallace, Wendy Erskine, Prof. Sophie Scott, Andy Dawson, Labi Siffre,  Craig Charles & Malik Al Nasir.

Here we are with episode 19 fresh from celebrating our first number 1 in the Mauritius podcast charts. Fame won't change us. Now any friend of Gil Scott Heron is a friend of ours and our guest this week literally had his life saved by the kindness of Gil. Writer, historian, musician and mentee of the great Gil Scott Heron Malik Al Nasir has a unique and fascinating musical story to tell. Coming from the depths of destitution, illiterate and homeless in the heart of riot torn Toxteth Malik turned his life around after a chance meeting with the American soul legend. This is a story you simply must hear.  

This is very much a Jazz themed episode and the brilliant Jazz writer Sammy Stein dares to make us believe in the musical juggernaught that is 'Free Jazz'. Hold onto you hats! We start however with Anne & Eamon drilling down into Drill music. After watching the fascinating BBC3 documentary 'Defending Digga D' the tricky question of whether the police should be allowed to censor an artists lyrics is raised. Then on a lighter note Anne proudly rocks a tracksuit and shares her lockdown style tips, Eamon watches and learns.  

Here is a link to the DIgga D documentary: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p08xkspf/defending-digga-d Here is the clip of Drillminister attempting to drink a glass of water whilst wearing a balaclava on Newsnight - apologies it links to the Daily Mail. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/news/video-1879168/Man-forgets-hes-wearing-balaclava-takes-sip-water.html 

I mention my blog for My Band T-Shirt so here is a link to the story of my Goth years:

Here is a link to Malik Al Nasir's fascinating search for his slave roots... its quite the story, read with a cuppa: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/extra/3k9u8lh178/Searching_for_my_slave_roots 

Our playlist this week is a challenging but often rewarding and occasionally infuriating journey from hardcore drill to mellow rare groove via the badlands of free jazz. Try not to pop a cap in anyones ass or indeed throttle a saxophone.

Episode 17 is a real thinker. This week we wrestle with the concept of content you are no longer content with. In the age of cancel culture can we really consign all that art into the dustbin just because the people who made it simply weren't the people we thought they were? And what about when we, the listeners change? If something once rocked your world but now seems hideously out of step with your moral code, should it be discarded or does it hold an important reminder of who you once were and actually signpost how you became who you are? Certainly our guest, award winning songwriter, activist and writer Labi Siffre has a few choice things to say on the subject. Labi shares his Phonographic Memories with us and speaks with true passion and wisdom about art, depression and the human condition. With over 50 years in show business Labi is better placed than most to know what makes a song timeless. He has written worldwide smash hits like 'It must be love' and 'Something inside so strong' and his music has been sampled by Wu Tang Clan, Eminem, Jay Z, Mark Ronson and countless others.

This weeks special feature is Make Me Believe, Dr Lauren Redhead tempts us into the rarefied world of modern classical composition. A genre known for its cerebral, challenging and uncompromising sound. But what exactly is modern classical music? And is it even a genre at all? 

One thing is for sure - you will come out of this episode with plenty of food for thought. Please Like, share and show you care as we take you off to podland.  

As mentioned in our discussion on music that makes you feel uncomfortable, here is a clip of Glen Danzig inexplicably going through his occult library in the dead of night and talking about all the scary books he pretends to read. There are many questions to be asked about this clip but the chief one must surely be 'Why is there a library of the occult next to a swimming pool?'

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RERGlWWoIvA&t=64s

As far as the music goes this weeks playlist is truly out there! We veer wildly from Madness to the Misfits, from Shoenburg to Siffre. There are several challenging slabs of modern classical composition and a few tracks of questionable taste and decency. We certainly do not condone a lot of this stuff but given the course our conversations took it would be amiss of us to censor any of it. You have been warned.

This week we wax lyrical about lyrics. Do lyrics matter? Can you ignore a bad lyric and still enjoy the tune? Anne and Eamon are not so sure. We also have a plague rave update and learn how the Sheffield hardcore massive don't take kindly to day trippers. This weeks feature is Let's Work! Anne calls up an old friend to talk about Bandcamp. Since the beginning of Lockdown Bandcamp have achieved almost saintly status through their continued support for independent artists so we thought we would ask Aly Gillani, label representative for Bandcamp Europe, exactly who they are, what they do, and why it matters. Not only that but we got three tip-top recommendations from Aly who also runs First Word Records and DJ's on Worldwide FM. Finally our guest is Northern Irish author Wendy Erskine. Wendy is a real music lover and what with her latest book 'Satan is real' being published by none other than Rough Trade she has an affinity with music both in her writing and in her life. 

Our Spotify playlist is available for those of you keen to know more about every single song we mention.

We were very pleased that Steve from Sheffield contacted the show about the rebirth of the illegal raves and how the story up north differs slightly from the plague raves down south. He wrote the following:

"You'll be pleased to know that Illegal raves are very much still a thing up here, (normally) happening each weekend somewhere in a remote rural location or the occasional warehouse. Free Parties are well attended with good people (always a few knobheads in my experience, this is England after all). The cops sometimes show up but the rules are "Don't let anyone hurt themselves, tidy your rubbish and put your fires out". I've never been to one where we had to pay to get in.

Around the summer solstice, there was a rumour of one happening in Sheffield, when the local soundsystem crews found out that it was out-of-towners, they mobilised and blocked off all the usual Free Party Spots, making sure the chancers didn't put on a party that was going to be another shit show (like Manchester).

It even made the local rag!"

We reference a bit of Heavy Metal devilment in this show so here is a link to Judas Priest fronting up in a US court.

It all kicks off this week as Anne and Eamon go toe to toe on Brit-Pop, Anne's heard one too many middle aged DJs scoff at her childhood. Meanwhile Eamon briefly sees the light at the end of the lockdown tunnel and tempts Anne out to talk directly to the pandemic party people. 

Our guest this week is the fabulous Jo Wallace, Queen of London's Northern Soul scene with 44 years of experience in the music industry from shop floor to CEO of @RamrockRecords one of the most vibrant labels around. Jo generously shares her wisdom, enthusiasm and experience with us. Mates this is a good one! 

The playlist this week is a MONSTER! 4 and a half hours of all manner of things. Skip the bits you need to but do dig deep there are treasures within.

Well we must stop meeting like this. Podcast 12! This week Anne of all people starts banging on about football songs. Eamon weeps at the graveside of the music press. Derek Anthony Williams of the Jan Doyle Band makes us believe in Gothic music and our special guest is award winning director and producer Kieron J. Walsh whose credits include 'Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami' and cult 90s series 'A young persons guide to being a rock and roll star' which featured a cameo from Noel Gallagher no less. Kieron takes us from his Dansette to the Disco Bar.

WARNING: This weeks playlist may contain football, we are so sorry about that, luckily for Spotify users the very worst of the songs mentioned were only available on Youtube. Once again our disclaimer; it is solely based on the things alluded to in the show.

This week Anne and Eamon urge you to join them as they run away to pod land. Anne (a tattooed lady) asks Eamon (a man of virgin skin) whether he ever wanted to engrave a band name on his face. Then it's all jazz-funk, punk & junk as Eamon indulges in his favourite pass time of watching music documentaries and drinking red wine. This week also see's the return of 'Let's Work' our semi-regular feature about when the world of work crashes into the world of music. This week artist John Karborn tells us about his 'Hand to hand' dub plate project and how it led to a desperate scramble to cut the last 10 inch dub-plates in the world. Our guest is a man Eamon has vicariously had breakfast with many times, UK Jazz legend, creative catalyst and former X-Factor Big Band member Soweto Kinch. Soweto selects three moments in his life when the music meant everything. 

If you like the sound of John Karborn's 'Hand to hand' dub plate project then you can listen to clips and put in a bid or two at his website:

This weeks playlist opener can be blamed on Anne, she mentioned the eternal request for The Killers and thats how the WGA playlist works, it is solely based on the things alluded to in the show.
