    [...] all the details here [...]

    Just for the record, I love the show but I hate Pulp, and Jarvis Cocker. I know this loses me several brownie points, but there y’go.

  3. DJ Knight Says:

    I dunno, Pulp is ok/pretty good, I can see the appeal but I’ve never been ecstatic over folksy music. And thanks for playing Super Furry Animals, is that indicative of their work? Seemed alot like Pink Floyd, in a good way. I might have to add them to the “buy” list.

    An overall downbeat, offbeat podcast…Must be the winter weather, or the holidays?

    Oh, and Tim, thanks for the secret mashup album. I used a combination of the clues from the podcast and some brute-force browsing to figure it out; a little easy for me but I’m a long-time gamer (board, card, roleplaying, computer.)

    Yeah we didn’t make it too hard, we wanted it possible you could stumble along the clues - cos even with that people have found it hard!

  5. Rowley Says:

    Kate Bush is almost personal music, sometimes not to share, I’ve found this especially with Hounds of Love’s second side - the Ninth Wave.

  6. timbearcub Says:

    Funny you mentioned that, I was planning to include the Tennyson quote with the second part :-D

    Hi Tim

    I’m pretty sure the “Cry me a river” is Ella Fitzgerald. I actually have the original Julie London track on ancient vinyl at home, but its not that one

  8. tim Says:

    Yeah I know it’s not Julie London - sounds like Ella…definitely not Nina Simone though!

    I thought of you when I played it ;-)
