Suede, The US And Us with John Hunter

Litter On The Breeze - the podcast about the music, stories and the fans of Suede returns for a chat with R.E.M biographer and thoroughly good fellow John Hunter. We discuss how important the British Music Press was for a US fan of UK Indie in the late 80s and early 90s, how he discovered Suede and the lengths he went to get hold of their first singles, and many other things besides. We also find time to discuss The Smiths, The Jam and...er..Wonky Alice.

Show Notes:

John's book 'Maps and Legends: The Story of R.E.M.'

John in conversation about the book on the 'What Is Music' podcast

The Ivor Cutler whatever-it-is that I drop in comes from a John Peel Session. One of its air-dates? The evening of April 8th 1994.  Exactly what listeners would have needed at that time, no doubt......(Thinking Emoji)
