An hour of Niles from Chic to Daft Punk and some lesser known production in between. Lose yourself to dance with Hannah and Mark

An hour of Scott Walker crossing the full gamut of his career – from ’60s teen pop idol to experimental sound artist, selected by Michael Lloyd and Mark Amery.
One quiet Thursday afternoon in October, as he prepared to play St Peter’s Mark Amery sat down with Don McGlashan over a cuppa and some Melting Moments baked by Ash at the Railway Station cafe Input to talk for an hour about songwriting, from Blam Blam Blam, Front Lawn, From Scratch Muttonbirds to his marvelous solo career.
And to accompany this, the music:
An hour of Don McGlashan, following our adage of ‘no hits no misses’ from Blam Blam Blam and Front Lawn through to Front Lawn, Muttonbirds and onto a rich solo career. We squeeze it into an hour. With Mark Amery. Apologies for the brief tech failure at the 3 minute mark.

I had always heard of New Yorker Arthur Russell but never listened to him so for this month’s musical Appreciation I took advice and started listening. The result was this really rewarding hour where experimental disco, meets ambient cello, meets pop meets alt country. A remarkable thing. Here it is as a podcast (the show airs 10pm Fridays, 9am Mondays)
