🔗 🎙️ 🎵 A Music Podcast Unlike Any Other - The New Yorker

The New Yorker writing about one of the best music podcasts ever by Andrew Hickey.

I’ve posted about the podcast before - it is absolutely incredible. A tour de force - but apparently that wasn’t enough for Hickey because …

The only background necessary to grasp a bit of Hickey is his bibliography: he has completed a guide to the first fifty years of “Doctor Who”; a book about “The Strange World of Gurney Slade” (a surreal comedy series that ran for six episodes on ITV in 1960); histories of the Monkees, the Kinks, and Los Angeles pop music of the nineteen-sixties; an “unauthorised guide” to a comic-book series called “Seven Soldiers of Victory”; and a three-volume catalogue of every track the Beach Boys have recorded.

PostScript - I discovered the podcast via @dave who was waxing lyrical about it a while back.

🎛️ The Future Of Income

Over the years I have used different words, different ‘lenses’, different ‘glasses’, ‘filters’ - but it all comes down to this.

And too quickly I am told that ‘UBI’ is not the solution, to which I point out that I never said it was. Delighted to hear David Wood making exactly the same point. He goes on …

what is happening is not business as usual.

I agree.

🎙️ David Wood Talking On David Brown’s Podcast

More to come on the ongoing site changes, but my podcast can now be found on my 🎙️Philpin domain - and if I can get Substack to fix their bug, it will soon there, which is part of the reason why my newsletter is no longer called a newsletter - but rather 🔗 a ‘Substack’.

🎙️ The Porn Bellwether - Martini Shot

A lot of information we know - but its how the story is told that keeps me engaged. This time Rob predicts the future of the entertainment industry - and who he expects to be the winners. (No spoiler Alert, cos I’m not gonna tell you.)

🎙️Three wonderful short podcasts from Rob Long’s Martini Shot.

The Miserable Multitasking Multiverse.

Never Read the Comments.

Wild Kingdom: Which Hollywood Animal are You?

🎵 Nantucket Sleighride by Mountain is a massively important album to yours truly - part of my formative years if you will.

TIL what a 🔗 Nantucket Sleighride actually is …. thanks to the 🎙️Freakonomics podcast

🎙️ What Tom Hanks Thinks of America

Not a BIG fan of Hanks’ acting (but I definitely don’t not like him), this conversation with Ezra Klein significantly opened my mind to him - and the opening 5 to 10 minutes is all about typewriters and typing!

🎵 Listened to a 🎙️podcast featuring Simon Armitage. I did not know he had a band. … LYR. During the podcast there was discussion about why the band is not called ‘Land Yacht Regatta’ - and if not that - why not L.Y.R. ?

He wasn’t really sure - Label decisions he said … but I think I know.

L.Y.R. - not my cup of tea at all - that I jumped over to listen to is definitely a very different band to LYR - a band that is very much my cup of tea.

🎙️ A Few Thoughts About RFK Jr.

Sam Harris doing his thing and a spot on 15 minute analysis of why RFK won’t be on his show anytime soon.

I wish Petersen, Rogan, Marr et al gave as much thought to the guests on their shows. Of course, there is a consistency to the places he has appeared.

🎛️ How will YOU be remembered?

I have been struggling with a newsletter recently. Unlike the podcast - it isn’t about suicide, but rather - how people are remembered after death. (If you know the movie Coco - it relates. If you think about tombstones - it relates.) The 30 second clip gets to the nub.
