Glitch
June 24th, 2008 by Steve BowbrickI’ve missed most of this Radio 2 series by Paul Morley about new musical genres but I reckon this one must be the best episode because it’s about Glitch, which is a genre that I reckon must be right up his street. The show sounds like an episode of Radio Lab—very self-conscious and playful and lots of entertaining bleeps and whistles. Morley and his regular producer Paul Kobrak have fun in the edit and lots of the off-mic laughter and mucking about have been left in to good effect. Brilliant (MP3).

Now this is excellent stuff. It’s difficult not to like what Paul Morley does when he does this kind of thing. Thanks for flagging it up as I’m still someone who assumes that Radio 2’s not for me - plainly given that it’s allowing Paul Morley to talk about Glitch for half an hour I’m so very very wrong. I’ll now listen out for the rest of the programmes in the series - I’m still concerned that I’ve imagined all this because unless I’m mistaken the news after the programme is read by someone called Fenalla Fudge . . .
It reminds me of the superb thing that Paul Morley did with DJ Food about mash ups. If you’ve not heard that it’s definitely worth looking out for.

This series was brilliant. My favourite was the twee/indiepop episode. For anyone who considered buying Talulah Gosh singles and fanzines called “Are you scared to get happy ?” and “Hungry Beat” a formative experience. (ie: me).
