#12 - Andrew Stafford
from Ramble City Hosted by Bradley McCaw
What do you love about music? What are your favourite records? Have you ever felt like a song has saved your life? For Andrew Stafford, todays guest… music did just that… and in his words… because those who can’t play music review it, he has carved out a career writing about music instead. Andrew Stafford is a freelance journalist and the author of Pig City, a celebrated musical and political history of Brisbane. He has written for The Age, The Guardian, The Sydney Morning Herald among others. And In 2019 we sat down in his Brisbane home, surrounded by a pretty incredible record collection to talk about his second book, a beautiful and incredibly moving memoir called SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN. In our chat we cover what makes a great song, some of our favourite records, another classic book/film High Fidelity, and we start with me asking him to describe the very intimidating record collection stacked up around us.
