Mick goes Song For Song with some of his favourite artists, finding out a bit of background information on a particular song of theirs and then switching seats, with the artist asking Mick about one of his songs. Click on an artist image below to hear interviews with Darren Hanlon, Keeno and Squeezebox Wally of The Go Set, Van Walker and Nick Barker, with more coming soon...
DARREN HANLON
ELBOWS vs IN YOUR MEMORY Darren Hanlon discovers Mick's appalling lack of knowledge in regard to actors and pop culture generally. Rada Mitchell? Nope - doesn't ring a bell. Neighbours? He thinks he might have heard of it. Darren takes the counterpoint vocal with Mick on In Your Memory. << Click on Darren's photo (left) to hear all about it...
THE GO SET (KEENO & WALLY)
THE RISING TIDE vs AWAY AWAY The sound of the ocean crashing and the wind howling are the backdrop to Keeno, Mark Squeezebox Wally and Mick disecting the effects of global warming and the fate of post WWII refugees. << Click on The Go Set's photo (left) to hear all about it...
VAN (DONOVAN) WALKER
ALL THE LEAVES ARE SHAKING vs MAKING A LIST Mick chats with brand new Croxton artist Van Walker about song theft, The Stork Hotel, gender bias in list making and equine based colloquialisms. << Click on Van's photo (left) to hear all about it...
NICK BARKER
FACING NORTH vs NO PICNIC Nick and Mick take a blowtorch to sea-changers and tree-changers, grapple with the gentrification of Leith and discuss why the word sandwich hasn't been used in many songs. After a quick evaluation of their respective careers they conclude it could have been better and it could have been a whole lot worse. << Click on Nick's photo (left) to hear all about it... |
