601. - Laura Snapes

Laura Snapes is the deputy music editor for The Guardian. We chat with her from her home somewhere in England about Chloe Sev hating on dogs, the spirit of punk is back at fashion shows, we confront her about bangs, when everyone in her school flat-ironed their hair, will country music ever crossover in the U.K.? what's the matter with Morrissey? she, unfortunately, has been a journalist her whole life, Pitchfork and Star Access, she left Twitter a while ago, and we asked her why, the Talking Heads turned down $80m to reunite, and we try to figure out why, Michael Jackson is back but R Kelly is not yet, she went to the guided tour of Serge Gainsbourg's old flat, should artists be allowed to play deep cuts? when you're too stupid to be offensive, the overwhelming emotional overload of a big stage production, and as a listener herself, she asks us a few burning questions. theguardian.com/profile/laura-snapes twitter.com/donetodeath twitter.com/themjeans Learn more about your ad choices.
