Is U2’s new Songs Of Surrender album just plain *wrong*?
byMark Ellen, David Hepworth and Alex Gold

Whistling, clicking our heels, swinging round lampposts and lobbing the odd shiny florin to a flaxen-haired child, this week’s free-wheeling navigation of the rock and roll boulevard alights upon the following hot topics …

 

… why Indie music is like student drama.

 

… what the Beatles achieved in “the 585 most productive minutes in the history of recorded music” (aka the recording of Please Please Me) and the albums released the same day every decade after.

 

 … Death & Vanilla, Frightened Rabbit and – to deafening applause – the welcome return of the Stackwaddy game.

 

… albums performed as ‘plays’ (by musicians who didn’t make them). A band featuring Clem Burke and Glen Matlock has just toured playing Lust For Life in its entirety. What others would work as well? The Band’s second album? Liege & Lief? The Ramones? Hot Rats? 

… unappetising song titles.

 

… what Bob Dylan did so “my mother would finally think I’m somebody”. And how his Mum reacted to his success.  

 

… and why bands end sets with Country Roads, Mustang Sally and Twist And Shout.
