In which we watch a breathtaking 40-minute piece of oratory by EC that takes in David Hockney, TikTok, Laurel & Hardy, what Pete Thomas did during Lockdown and how to avoid your new album being \\u201cjust another bucket of herring tossed into the stream\\u201d. And go to the Premiere of Peter Jackson\\u2019s Get Back. And remember some slightly hopeless second albums (ABC, Stones, Arctic Monkeys, Tracy Chapman) and some prime examples of the \\u201cfront-loaded\\u201d LP (Let\\u2019s Dance, the Joshua Tree etc). And delight in discovering the snobbery of people who work in record shops is still apparent when you\\u2019re trying to buy an Ornette Coleman CD.
