Word Up, Raydioheads. It’s a whole ‘other show this week with comic/expatriate/playlist maestro April Richardson. She joins us as we talk British differences with foxes, her husband's co-workers, and more things Anglican. We do neüs, an On This Date, and hit the highlights of songs from movies that have the title of the movie in the title of the song. A long walk on that one, but a nice journey. We celebrate 8 years of doing this podcast this week. Check out a back episode and see how far we've come!

Music, Memory, and Memoir provides a unique look at the contemporary cultural phenomenon of the music memoir and, leading from this, the way that music is used to construct memory. Via analyses of memoirs that consider punk and pop, indie and dance, this text examines the nature of memory for musicians and the function of music in creating personal and cultural narratives. This book includes innovative and multidisciplinary approaches from a range of contributors consisting of academics, critics, and musicians, evaluating this phenomenon from multiple academic and creative practices, and examines the contemporary music memoir in its cultural and literary contexts.
