    Emma Swift on Marianne Faithfull 'Broken English' (repost in tribute to Marianne Faithfull)

    Today we sadly lost the legendary Marianne Faithfull, so in tribute we are resharing this episode from 2016 with Emma Swift celebrating Faithfull's classic album 'Broken English'.   ---- Queen of the Sadcore Bangers Emma Swift returns to the show to talk about Marianne Faithfull’s brittle, confronting classic ‘Broken English’. Faithfull started her career being exploited as a folk-pop starlet, hitting rock bottom with drugs and homelessness and then taking control of her life and identity with this album. Emma and I talk about the cock forrest of the punk / new wave scene, how women are often written out of pop history, the inappropriate way Emma discovered the album, how it’s influencing the shift in her music from despair to rage, and more.

    Jack Colwell on Tori Amos 'Boys for Pele' (repost in memory of Jack)

    After the tragic loss of Jack Colwell this past week, I wanted to share this conversation with Jack celebrating his hero Tori Amos. I have such great memories of recording this chat with Jack, I feel like it captured him at his most ebuliant, articulate and insightful. He was one of a kind and will be deeply missed by a lot of people. ----- Sydney singer-songwriter Jack Colwell makes the case for Tori Amos as a transformative figure in pop - a woman who seized her major-label power to create sophisticated adult pop music, bridging the divide between classical and pop, creating a unique sound and exploring her complicated relationship with her religious upbringing and femininity.

    436. Katie Pearlman on Sarah McLachlan 'Fumbling Towards Ecstasy' (1993)

    My guest is a musician, songwriter and artist who has never stopped evolving and exploring, from LA to New Orleans to Nashville. Her new EP Fumbling Towards Glory is out now, five years in the making and as she says, is her way of honouring the mess - her mess - of growing up, coming face to face either her own ambition, desire, doubt and experiencing the turmoil and beauty that accompanies is.

    435. Novak (Polish Club) on Artic Monkeys 'Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino' (2018)

    Today, Polish Club frontman Novak joins host Jeremy Dylan to discuss the Arctic Monkey’s divisive cult classic album ‘Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino’, the sci-fi concept album that followed up the rock’n’roll behemoth of AM. Jeremy and Novak reminisce about their days as office-mates, Novak coming out as a singer at karaoke, ageing in rock’n’roll, why so many artists both love and envy this album, the artistic bravery of following their biggest commercial hit with a ‘jazzy concept album about eating pizza on the moon’, the alternate reality where this was an Alex Turner solo album, how swerving musically helps sustain a long career and more. Listen to the new Polish Club album 'Heavy Weight Heart', out now!

    434. Queenie on Dan Auerbach 'Waiting on a Song' (2017)

    Acclaimed singer-songwriter Queenie joins host Jeremy Dylan to talk about Black Keys frontman Dan Auerbach's 2017 solo album 'Waiting on a Song'. Queenie talks about how her journey as a fan of the Black Keys and Dan Auerbach coincided with moving to Melbourne from Tasmania, the thrill of following someone’s career as a fan from the start, why calling it a solo record is almost a misnomer, the legendary collaborators on the album, why the album is a love letter to Nashville, how Auerbach cashed in his rock star chips to make this record, the influence of the Traveling Wilbury’s, the visual elements of Dan’s music and more. Queen also talks about the process of making her new album with producer Josh Barber, and taking inspiration from Auerbach’s production style to layer in unusual sounds and textures.

    433. Michelle Brasier on 'Once' by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová (2007)

    Comedian, author, actor, musician and more Michelle Braisier joins Jeremy Dylan to talk about Once, the album of music by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová from the classic film of the same name. Michelle discusses the intimacy and sincerity that powers the film, the beautiful sadness of the music, her annual rewatches of the film in memory of her brother, whether the film is a musical or not, people who hate musicals but like superhero movies, songs that she can’t sing without crying, the blurred lines between Hansard and Irglove and their characters, getting RSI auditioning for the stage musical adaption of Once and much more. Michelle also talks about the trick to writing comedy songs that are actually funny, and shares the story of a beautiful moment in Edinburgh during one of her performances just after the passing of her brother when the comedy community rallied around her.

    432. Chloe Maddren on Amy Winehouse 'Frank' (2003)

    Today comedian/writer/musician/podcaster Chloe Maddren joins me to shine a light on the less heralded Amy Winehouse album, 2003’s Frank. We talk about the cat she named after the album, fighting against Winehouse’s influence on her voice and lifestyle, the difference between the popular conception of Winehouse and who she was on this album, the differences between Frank and Back to Black, identifying with music beyond your age, the jazz influence on the record, being older than Amy Winehouse when she passed away, the validity of teenage pain, the pun of the album title, lyrics that haven’t aged well and much more. We also talk about why she didn’t choose a Taylor Swift album, her pop star aspirations, how her comedy career balances with her earnest songwriting, bombing in Bondi and “the girl fedora”. Chloe's standup special 'Hot Girl Stuff (Disordered Eating & Crippling Self-Hate) is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=fMzLtyC6VMo&t=65s https://www.patreon.com/TheFriendRequest/posts
