How often have you heard of an artist being labelled “over-rated”? Did it strike you as fair, or just a subjective, lazy way to insult artists you don’t like? Mick & Jeff look at the concept of ‘over-rated’ as a way of describing artists, and consider whether certain artists ARE, in fact, over-rated, and, if so, why or why not?
Our album you MUST Listen to Before You Die is “Bossanova” by the Pixies. We talk about where the Pixies fit into the music universe and where this album fits into their canon of work.
Jeff provides a dip sample of some of the rock news so far this year, an update on what’s happened to Princess Fionnula now that’s she’s gone back to Ireland, and some of the finer points of beer tasting!
