Word In Your Ear

David Hepworth, Mark Ellen and chums cast an occasionally jaundiced eye over the goings-on in the worlds of music and entertainment.

Passing the conversational Dutchie ‘pon the left hand side, we fire up the following …

… “speech, not music, brings people together”

… if music gets ever broader, why’s radio getting more niche?

… can YOU guess the NME’s 10 most influential bands in 2002?

… a doomed Dolly Parton kidnap attempt at the Hammersmith Odeon: we were there!

… ‘Voice-tracking’, ‘auditorium testing’ and other network radio secrets

… 61 year-old listener hears the Beatles for the first time and reports back. (Chapeau, Jelltex!)

… short-lived TV spin-offs from Fawlty Towers and Dad’s Army

… Madonna, 50 Cent and Courtney Love wrote children’s books? Anyone read Marcus Mumford’s ‘Barnaby and the Drumming Bear’?

… familiar acts doing unfamiliar songs and well-known tracks by obscure people

… and why Boom Radio is booming.
