Longtime music fans, college friends, and children of the South, Chris Ayers and Will Schilling discuss the music of R.E.M. in a nonlinear order, featuring three songs per episode and special guests who bring their own stories about the band.
Our guest for this episoder is Julie Campbell, a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and music producer based in Manchester, England who records under the name of LoneLady. A sense of place is all over this episode, whether it's the folksy southern gothic of Georgia, the working class city of Manchester, or the confines of your own head. Psychogeography is one the defining themes of LoneLady's work, particularly on her 2015 album ”Hinterland.” Julie brings the Document-era ”King of Birds” to chat about, and we dig into its relationship to the creative process. Will wages war on himself with ”World Leader Pretend,” and Chris takes us back to the Civil War with ”Swan Swan H,” which really sounds like it could been written in 1860, but is, in fact modern. What noisy cats are we. Literally. (Chris would like to apologize for the intrusion of his cat multiple times on this episode).
