The Word Podcast

Word In Your Ear
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.

Shaun & Bez and other Odd Couples we love
byMark Ellen, David Hepworth and Alex Gold

Pointing the scanner of inquiry at the baggage carousel of news to see what gets the lights flashing, which this week includes …

 

… we know what’s making Morrissey miserable

 

… bands that can get a whole stadium singing

 

… the rock star who misses the music press most

 

… “a Likely Lads for the rave generation”, anyone?

 

… the speed at which news now travels

 

… Loudon Wainwright and Richard Thompson, Ben Sidran and Boz Scaggs, Paul Whitehouse and Bob Mortimer, Steve Martin and Martin Short … in praise of inseparable old pals!

 

… Anfield Rap (Red Machine in Full Effect)! Lift it High (All About Belief)! Whatever happened to football singles?

 

… I Started Out with Nothin and I Still Got Most of It Left, Musta Notta Gotta Lotta, Trouble Over Bridgewater: albums you bought because you liked the title

 

… “English radio stations won’t play new music!” Really?

 

Plus birthday guest Adrian Ainsworth on the Sensual World, Us, Monster, the Rhythm of the Saints and other great experimental sequels to big-selling albums.
