8 songs about Autumn - Beat Motel Music Podcast

Описание: Is Autumn actually good, or is it just a depressing precursor to heart attacks and wet trousers? Andrew Culture and Dr Sam (live from the grey void of Helsinki) discuss the cultural significance of the season, Roy Orbison’s obsession with balsa wood, and the terrifying reality of seeing Rocky Horror with your teenager.

Topics covered:

Why squirrels want to get inside your trousers.

Roy Orbison: Gadget king or hallucinating AI?

The Jeff Lynne production machine and the "Autumn Leaves" jazz standard rabbit hole.

Stole cheese from Blur? The reality of 90s touring.

Why 1950s rock stars looked 80 when they were actually 52.

If you enjoy two idiots talking about things they haven't researched, you've come to the right place.

Watch more Beat Motel chaos here:    • Country Music, but not awful Country Music...  

Engagement: What's your favourite "standard" that's been covered to death? Let us know in the comments and we might ignore it next week.
