Jimmy Cliff, unseen Beatles and the greatest bassline on record!
byMark Ellen, David Hepworth and Alex Gold

Twenty pounds of headlines plus rants, theories and the odd slice of old hokum: served hot. Which this week involves …

 

… Jimmy Cliff and how his versatility worked against him

 

… the Conjuror? Eyeball Tickler? The Concert in the Egg? Hieronymus Bosch painting or late-period Oasis B-side?

 

… Motown, Jacksons, Beatles, Chili Peppers? What’s the greatest bassline on record?

 

… what you notice watching the new Beatles’ Anthology 4

 

… why the leading edge of novelty is the internet

 

… from Eddie Cochran to the Bonzos, Can, Hawkwind, Costello and Stone Roses: the pioneering life of label-boss Andrew Lauder

 

… when did it become impossible to date records by their sound? And when did they stop sounding like glorious accidents?

 

… Joan Armatrading? Carole King? Dido? Which singer-songwriters are legends?

 

… what’s “stuck culture”?

 

… is Tomorrow Never Knows the only one-chord wonder?

 

… the link between Good Times, Another One Bites the Dust and Rapper’s Delight

 

… whalebone corsets, butchers’ knives: Nick Cave and the art of 18th century lyric-writing

 

… “Graham Coxon was a trumpet player and plays the guitar like a trumpet!”

 

Plus birthday guest Kevin Walsh: which musicians are freaks and which cheerleaders?
