Glitch

June 24th, 2008 by Steve Bowbrick

I’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).

Chasing Celebrity

February 1st, 2008 by Steve Bowbrick

Over on Radio 2 Paul Morley has made a clever two-parter about celebrity. I hesitated to put it up actually because, well, it’s not quite as good as I was hoping it would be. Don’t get me wrong, the show’s thoughtful and funny and there are loads of excellent contributors (and Paul Morley, obviously). I think it’s just too long. Each part is an hour long. Whose idea was that? Anyway, don’t let me put you off. Here’s part one and part two.
