01 Brett Anderson on 'Starlust‪'‬ Songbook

In this very first episode of Songbook Jude chats to Suede frontman and all round indie legend Brett Anderson about the book 'Starlust' by Fred and Judy Vermorel.
Using the book as a jumping-off point they cover everything from favourite music writing to Barry Manilow, the seduction of being worshipped to the darker side of obsessive fandom.
