    Songs Written About Movies

    Songs Written About Movies

    Here’s another song-concept idea from Patrick. This one focuses on songs written about movies, which differs from soundtracks. You’ll hear John Vanderslice singing about a David Lynch film and Neil Young watching a Jim Jarmusch flick.

    Spotlight On: Bpeople

    Spotlight On: Bpeople

    Patrick came across a pair of albums from Los Angeles-area band Bpeople and thought our listeners might enjoy hearing about them. Led by singer/guitarist Alex Gibson, the music should appeal to fans of dark new wave post punk and early 1980s sounds.

Best Music Podcast

A great music podcast. Varied subjects and styles. Hear something new, or something old. Join in the conversation. It's all here.

God I've Missed You Guys

Stumbled across your new podcast and everything in my world is happy again. You have enabled me to discover so many new artists since your South by South West podcast on the old show last year. You guys get me through the working day and brighten up my life. Just need to work my way through the 90+ episodes I've missed! Roger from Sheffield, England
