Good Morning Nantwich

Tags

, , , , , , , ,

I’ve been reading Phill Jupitus’ Good Morning Nantwich, an autobiographical book about how he arrived to do the Breakfast show on BBC’s 6 Music, with a look at how Breakfast Radio arrived in the common form it is today, and listener behaviours.  If you love music, or radio then you’ll enjoy this book.  Given Phill’s standup comedian roots there is plenty of humour in here as well, it has had me laughing out load.

 

There are some great quotes as well,  one of my favourites so far is (with reference to DJs):

The more of the record that is playing that they talk over, the bigger a tool they are

Each chapter of the book is completed with a playlist,  I hope Phill and the publishers dont mind, but I thought I’d share some of these with you.

 

Chapter 1 : Workers’ Playtime:

  • Fear Is A Man’s Best Friend – John Cale
  • Theme from The Godfather/Al Capone – Jazz America
  • Get A Job – The Chordettes
  • Start – The Jam
  • Good Morning – The Beatles
  • Hitsville UK – The Clash
  • Rez – Underworld
  • Train Song – Holly Cole
  • What Do I Do Now? – Elvis Costello
  • A13, Rrunk Road To The Sea – Billy Bragg

 

 

Keep checking back as I’ll post more of the lists 🙂

what Santa delivered part 2, or another list for New Year

Tags

I was given a copy of “1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die” for Christmas – the complete list can be seen at http://www.rocklistmusic.co.uk/steveparker/1001albums.htm. although the last 5-10 years as seen the rise of the New Year/End of Year lists I have to admit to being a bit of a geek to this sort of things, and pleased to stay that I stack up well on the 1001 albums. But my family might not be so happy as the i look to go after those gaps in the collection.

Aside from the music geek factor, the book itself is rather good, with a brief description of the album and its significance. I only discard with a couple of entries in the list – such as Culture Club (puuuleeease, that is just terrible). I’m sure Mrs Monster can relate to Phill Jupitus’ wife got the news that he was going to work for 6 music brilliant – steady income, but also the realisation that its the perfect excuse to buy lots more music.

A worthwhile addition for the music obsessive.
