'Head Music' Part One: From...er...'Perfect Day' to 'Everything Will Flow'

Litter On The Breeze: Songs On The Radio returns with the first part of our deep dive into Suede's Don't Call It Our Dance Phase and 1999's 'Head Music' album! We start by looking at the band's first UK Number One Single (yes that is indeed a huge stretch!), then set the scene re some pre-millenial tension before discussing each of the first four tracks! This includes references to houses and mouses and everything in between! Reap Reap Reap!

Show Notes:

• As ever, the track-by-track starts at 23 minutes if you wish to leap straight to that!
•  A bit more on echo here
• There's never enough to learn about 'Ten Little Indians' is there? Count yourselves lucky that I didn't play any of it...!
• I very VERY nearly ended this episode with a blast of the 'Fingermouse' theme...instead I chose to presage Part Two...
