This week Paula Snow and Angela Martin from Bugeye are joined by Bill Cummins and Jim Auton from God Is In The TV podcast Show Me Magic! We take a trip down memory lane and look at the death of Britpop and ask, was it all Tony Blair and his Fender guitars fault? We also discuss the tragic 27 club members, Amy Winehouse, Kurt Cobain and Richey Edwards, before kicking off a quick fire quiz on Little Richard who sadly passed away last week. Our final feature looks at five of the artists who were influenced by the work of Kraftwerk including Bowie and OMD.
This week our new music comes from Foundlings, Hurtling, Clwb Fuzz and Fenne Lily.
