- Music Interviews
One of the most exciting bands of the last five years, is IDLES. The Bristol group grabbed our attention early, and have held it; prolific in their output, profound in their outlook.
Joe Talbot is their lead singer, and it’s his life experiences that fuel their songs. Loss, mistakes, gratitude, redemption and joy fill their four records, and their latest is all about forks in the road. In Australia to tour it, Joe Talbot joined me to Take 5 with songs that had marked crossroads for him. What he shared, was a wildly varying collection of songs; and that reminder that music imprints itself on us. It’s our memory bank, and it never fades. From The Pharcyde, to classic Garage, to The Walkmen, these are the stories and beautiful consequences of Joe Talbot’s choices.
Marvin Gaye - I Heard It Through The Grapevine
The Pharcyde - Runnin'
STICKY feat. Ms. Dynamite - Booo! [Original Dirty Mix]
Van Morrison - Sweet Thing
The Walkmen - The Rat
