E183: Joe Meek

Hello listeners! This week, Chris is wearing sunglasses and on a mildly hallucinatory trip to the moon! Intro topics include: shopping in America, the true meaning of Life Is A Highway, and washing underwear by hand. The main subject of this week's episode is pioneering English record producer Joe Meek, who had a handful of fantastic/peculiar hits in the early 1960s. Sadly, a combination of mounting debts, mental health problems, drugs and 60s attitudes about homosexuality may have pushed him over the edge to commit an act of extreme, un-groovy violence.
