Drive

W/C 24th March 2025One of the great things about recording TFM is that I get to rack my brains and come up with an episode title that is also a song. You know the rules, the song title (where possible) must be pertinent to some of the themes of the week's episode, and I try and make it a song I have some history with.Clearly this week was going to be fairly easy, I mean how many song titles are there that contain the word 'Drive' (don't answer that, because it is quite a lot). But here's the thing, because this part of the TFM process is a bit of a gift that keeps on giving, the choice of REM has taken me back to Automatic For The People, and who doesn't need reminding of how good an album that is and how lucky we are to have it.What that means is that I am going to be giving it a spin over the weekend, as I contemplate the state of the nation finances and the sheer absurdity of the Testi app.Stay safe.Drive - REMTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity. It started out as a mechanism for me to clear my head, with the hope that by saying stuff out loud it would act as a little bit of self-help. It's remains loose in style, fluid in terms of content and raw - it's a one take, press record and see what happens, affair.If you want to keep in touch with TFM and the other stuff I do then please follow me on Facebook, Insta, Twitter or Patreon. Thanks for getting this far.
