Talking About...Counting Crows

On this week's episode, we’re working out whether memories of a time influence your opinion of a band, as we take a look into the repertoire of Counting Crows. We've also got chat on hidden tracks, the role of producers, Gareth brings his bird knowledge to the table and we find out how good we are at remembering lyrics in the lyric game. We've also made a Counting Crows 15 track playlist [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/14WG6ZdAJcfyjSObIdpepT?si=4dHtk8vORUisTuyNyW0UoA&pt=f2cb4139f2246e0256114691a3c6dc21&pi=puixN-BgSViGN] for you to check out and get you in the zone!

Talking About...Bjork ‘93 to ‘01

Bjork is unlike any other musician, unconventional, independent and constantly pushing the boundaries of music! We’re exploring her first four solo albums, from Debut to Vespertine, but also looking at everything before, including her first record, punk and The Sugarcubes amongst other things. Gareth, James and Phil discuss their history with these albums and share some insights in to their lives growing up in Essex. We’ll also see whether James and Gareth can work out the Bjork lyrics from the A.I’s in our lyric game! And to get you in the right vibe here’s our 15 track Bjork playlist [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2ZfPg97Vee7VHs9DcDhgkg?si=d6wlKABUS5K0bNgdMq3UBw&pt=f7e154485c628da6adc54494111fa25a] taken from these four magnificent albums.  Hope you enjoy!
