The London Ear - Vic Reeves

July 16th, 2008 by Russell Davies

Another of Ben Thompson’s interviews for Resonance. This time with national treasure Vic Reeves. He takes us on an excellent musical tour, including a childhood encounter with Jimi Hedrix in Darlington (perhaps a few hours before this photo was taken). There’s also some Dave and Ansel Collins, some splendidly odd British psychedelia from Piblokto, some Strauss, some Dick Gaughen, and Shoplifting by The Slits. Which, strangely, in researching this post I discovered you can get as a complimentary ringtone. That can’t be right. MP3 here.

The London Ear - Green Gartside

June 30th, 2008 by Russell Davies

Next up in our mini-series of London Ear interviews from Resonance.fm is Mr Green Gartside of Scritti Politti. Interviewing courtesy of Mr Ben Thompson. Things we hear include a Scritti Politti song about getting a train to Wimbledon, how Mr Gartside is unencumbered by associative reminiscence, how Derrida tried to steal his girlfriend and Fixing A Hole by The Beatles. The sound quality isn’t brilliant. Not sure why. Sorry. MP3 here.
