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.

This week’s news put through the wringer and hung out to dry. On the line you’ll find …

… Taylor Swift and Ophelia and other things pop videos turned into tourist attractions

… the appeal of D’Angelo’s Voodoo: “he made albums with no disdain for the listener”

…. David Hepworth and “the single most exciting thing that ever happened to me in my entire life”

… bands whose story means more than their music

… Nick Drake, Hendrix, Portishead, Nirvana: why three albums is the perfect back catalogue

… when Morrissey was just “Steve from Stretford” and Bowie “some bloke in Beckenham”

… Elvis Costello, the Nashville Rooms and how Mark escaped being “killed to bits”

… is there a better sign of obsession than being able to name all a band’s members?

… Your challenge: listen to the Dead’s Dark Star for the first time. Discuss!

… esoteric tracks played by mobile coffee vans

… “Gor Blimey, hello Mrs Jones. How’s old Bert’s lumbago?”

… plus JJ Cale, Canned Heat, Cameron Crowe and Fred Neil’s The Dolphins.
