Ep 30 | Rozi Plain | Prize

In Part 1 we speak in depth about Rozi Plain's new album 'Prize'.
It's a curious, warming gem of an album that really needs to be
talked about. In Part 2 we play 'Spin it or bin it?', the theme
this month is Protest Music.

Part 1 | Album of the Month | Rozi Plain | Prize

David's choice this month is an artist that he has a long
relationship with, Rozi Plain. Rozi was new to the rest of us so
we were all playing catch up. I can't remember an album that
needs to be talked about (in real life, with human beings) as
Prize.  You will hear me processing what I actually feel
about the album, live, while we discuss it. I think I probably
come out of the discussion with a slightly different conclusion
to the one that I had at the start. All good albums get better
with more attention but this one absolutely demands it.

Please, please, please go and give it a listen. I think most
people will find something that they love about this album.

Part 2 | Spin It or Bin It | Protest Music
We all pick a track based on a theme, present the
track and ask the simple question, Spin it or Bin it? The theme
this month is a simple one 'Protest Music'. There are no
limitations or rules this month other than, as always, we try to
bring new music or a new context to each other.

MachineDavid Chose - 'Ship Building' by Elvis Costello &
