Morrissey gets irate about music videos on TV-am
Paul Gambaccini interviews Morrissey on the TV-am sofa in 1984. Henry Kelly and Toni Arthur get involved in the conversation too, with varying results. While Morrissey comes across as a bit pompous, I do miss pop/rock stars having something interesting to say, and it is always enjoyable watching them saying that something interesting in an odd environment, like breakfast television.

Modernism Redux
A rather fun take on modernism from Will Self, broadcast earlier this year. I’d happily listen to a whole series of programmes arranged like this, different voices drifting in and out, new juxtapositions and comparisons made between decades, personalities, media. While the initial set-up is a little hokey, the execution of the idea is excellent. Well worth a listen. You can also download it here.
Wait until next year
