Seemed fitting to unlock these two episodes, solder them together through the miracle of sound editing, and make them free to all, given the news this week of Oasis reforming. Enjoy.

This ep reminded me that I had a copy of Revolution in the Head on my bedside table for a whole year in college. I re-read the intro you quoted from again and it is good, though a lot more reactionary that I remembered. It's a kind of reactionary that was very common in the late 1990s/early 2000s, looking back. MacDonald does try and defend the idea of "The Sixties" but an assumption that it was basically a mistake and everything's been getting worse since then keeps creeping in. He's also militant that popular music is basically nothing since - dismisses all electronic music and doesn't even mention any post-Motown black music. It's all a bit too reminiscent of where those other NME writers went in later years (he gets in a few swipes at 'political correctness' too, yawn). Still, it's worth reading - there are signs of brain rot but not unique to him at the time and his commitment to understanding the world through culture is laudable.

He says hip hop has displayed “much rhythmic invention” within “the confines of total mechanisation”. He was the kind of reactionary who could have been talked around to better opinions but he was so convinced of his own rightness you’d have needed to put in some serious hours. For all that, Revolution in the Head is a truly fantastic book and I always recommend it to anyone who wants to understand The Beatles, the 60s or how music works more broadly.

Is there a miner’s strike episode still in the works? I know you’re focused on the Sicilians now Ghostboy, and am thankful for that. Just curious.

The Menwith Hill episode contained a sort of stealth pilot for a series I’ll be doing about the north either at the end of this year or the start of 2026z
