Writer, broadcaster, author, novelist and old pal of the podcast Laura Barton on life-tilting moments in teenage discos, a crush on Mick Hucknall, crosswords in the music papers, working at Andy's Records in Southport during Blur v Oasis ("queues round the block"), being penpals with Bon Iver's dad, a Stewart Lee fortune cookie sandwich, her homemade Beano t-shirt, driving the route of Jonathan Richman's Roadrunner, and interviewing Yoko Ono, Van Morrison ("I walked out") and Tom Jones ("suddenly fruity with a waitress"). Plus the Greatest Record Ever Made!
