ANARCHO SQUAT SAUNA!
What was that? Was that real? Is that just in my head? Where do you start with introductions to songs? Are they a part of the song, do they set the rest of it up, or are they just a side show, a distraction? Sure, there are many great introductions to songs, even if the rest of the song goes haywire, but what about those intros that stick out as a WTF?
In this episode, Andrew and Sam investigate the spooky but real world of random introductions to songs. These are introductions that either don’t seem to fit, seem tagged on, or just unedited. They both had a bit of a challenge finding them, but they come up with the goods and run the trajectory from hip hop, drug-addled Madchester types to some quite grating 2000s UK indie.
So, once again, take up your pitch fork and join them in trying to burn down the Frankensteinian labs of corporate music culture that undermine the ties that bind us. Why pay for your music to be on spotify when they don’t give you anything in return, and why vote Labour when they’re promising to manage Tory policies slightly more professionally than the Tories? Lets take a note of Kevin Rowland’s book and burn it down (not literally?).
