AI’s Word In Your Ear theme tune (!!), the four stages of showbiz & taking kids to concerts

Scanning the rock and roll ether with our patent heat-seeking Ripple-Detector®️ to see what rings the bell. Which this week includes …

… how reformed ‘90s pop groups all look like Paul Whitehouse characters from the Fast Show.

… the mutual agony of parents taking kids to concerts.

… “Tap! Tap! Tap!”, the “gacked up” sound of the Heartbreakers’ at work in Fort Petty.

… “Two old voices crack through the static/ Vinyl souls dissected so erratic”: AI’s nerve-jangling interpretation of Word In Your Ear – in song!

… the four stages of showbiz … and three stages of hearing music.

… the miracle birth of Don Henley’s ‘The Boys Of Summer’.

… why we tend to run the other way when people insist we’d like something.

… records that make sense 40 years later – and a message from Brian Eno.

… EMF and the graffiti, Carter USM rugby tackling Phillip Schofield, Radiohead playing ‘My Iron Lung’: bands “too cool” for the Smash Hits Poll Winners’ Party.

… how simpler music appeals as you get older.

Plus the new Patreon roll-call and, from Les, the unsettling AI-generated tribute to Word in Your Ear:
