A 3-part rant about LPs sold as ‘antiques’, TikTok & the shameful AI Michael Parkinson

David feels a rant coming on. Mark lights the blue touchpaper, pulls on a tin hat and retires to a safe distance as they consider … … the US closure of TikTok: has a single governmental act ever had such impact on the music business? … film posters, Dinky Toys, “obscure vinyls”: the new record stores that are effectively antique shops.   .. why Virtually Parkinson is breath-takingly awful and an insult to the interviewers’ art.   … Melania Trump’s monstrous payday. … Bob Dylan joining TikTok - “Good God, I must leave right away.” … radio deejays: “the things they hate you for are the same things they love you for.” … 50 per cent of people “looking for a vinyl fix” don’t have a record player. … the three-word question all interviewers need. … Blood on the Carpet: DLT, Danny Baker and the 30-year anniversary of Radio One’s “revolution”. Plus birthday guest Paul Knox and the value of soundtracks, samplers, tribute albums and compilations “with a point of view” from Nice Enough To Eat and Stardust to the Pet Shop Boys’ Twentieth Century Blues.Find out more about how to help us to keep the conversation going: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourearHelp us to keep The Longest Continuous Conversation In Rock'n'Roll going: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Hosted on Acast.
