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.

In powerful pursuit of amusement and distraction we aim the piercing supertrouper of scrutiny this week in the direction of …

… why Ry Cooder MUST write a memoir.

… records that sounded like nothing you’d ever heard before, eg the Message by Grandmaster Flash and Donna Summer’s I Feel Love.

… nighttime footage of the State Funeral rehearsal.

… why ‘Delhi Crime’ on TV makes the Wire’s Baltimore look like Stoke Poges.

… dinner with the “fantastically indiscreet” Tony King.

… why Hilary Mantel was such a phenomenal writer – and an extract that demonstrates it.

… the return of the Stackwaddy game: James Brown/Frank Zappa track or advertising slogan?

… Beefheart selling Aldous Huxley a vacuum cleaner.

Plus … birthday patron Ed Newman beams in from his shift at the Glasgow Royal Infirmary with thoughts about Ravel’s Bolero, Dylan and Beatles podcasts and an inspired music book idea with a medical twist that someone must – MUST! – publish!
