Best Of: What the Fuck 2016? w/ Emma Swift, Brian Koppelman, Alex Lahey, Lisa Mitchell, Jeff Greenstein and more

We're on a break at the moment but I thought it would be interesting to revisit this episode from four years ago, our end of the year 2016 wrap up, featuring a bunch of different interviews touching on the big stories in music of the year, including the traumatic aftershock of the US election and the creeping dread of the incoming Trump administration, and the realisation that 2017 maybe was going to be getting worse not better.

Thankfully I feel like we're coming out of this particular hell year of 2020 with a more optimistic outlook on the next year, so I'm posting this today as a way of reflecting to some extent on the horrors of the last half decade and also a feeling that we might be turning at least one page onto a better future now...

In amongst numerous fab-adjacent tangents, Steven and Jeremy talk about the long shadow All Things Must Pass casts over this record, Ringo Starr and Jim Keltner's innovative double drumming techniques, the lead piano of the legendary Nicky Hopkins, how this album might have served as a template for the rest of Harrison's recording career, Harrison's bitterness around the Beatles and the push and pull between his spirituality and material appetites, lawyer-based hoedowns, Harrison's extremely intermittent history as a live act and more. Plus, Steven shares his memories of attending the amazing Concert for George tribute night featuring every single living (at the time) rock legend plus a surprise Monty Python reunion.

Emma Swift on Marianne Faithfull 'Broken English' (repost in tribute to Marianne Faithfull)

Emma Swift on Marianne Faithfull 'Broken English' (repost in tribute to Marianne Faithfull)

Today we sadly lost the legendary Marianne Faithfull, so in tribute we are resharing this episode from 2016 with Emma Swift celebrating Faithfull's classic album 'Broken English'. ---- Queen of the Sadcore Bangers Emma Swift returns to the show to talk about Marianne Faithfull's brittle, confronting classic 'Broken English'. Faithfull started her career being exploited as a folk-pop starlet, hitting rock bottom with drugs and homelessness and then taking control of her life and identity with this album. Emma and I talk about the cock forrest of the punk / new wave scene, how women are often written out of pop history, the inappropriate way Emma discovered the album, how it's influencing the shift in her music from despair to rage, and more.
