Here's the challenge: how do you distill an artist down to 5 songs for a first time listener?
When introducing someone to an artist or band they've never heard, it can be tricky to pick a playlist.
Too many songs can overwhelm the listener - so Adrian and Leon have developed the technique of choosing five for the unfamiliar. Five songs that impart a sense of what the artist is about. Not your five favourite songs. Not the five best songs. Five songs that hint at the flavour of the artist without delivering the full course. If done correctly it should be enough to leave them wanting more if they like what they're presented with.
This is the experiment: to pick only five songs of an artist you love that are tailored to hook the uninitiated.
In this episode, your hosts put this into practice for each other.
Adrian recommends the cool, catchy compositions of Bahamas.
Leon recommends the esoteric, sonorous sounds of Beirut.
Both artists filed under the letter 'B'.
Both artists with monikers you'll find on the world map.
