Yellow Brit Road 20 October 2024: Liam Payne, Celebrity Culture, brat remixes, The Libertines

Fair warning there is some chatter and discussion this week! As I headed off to see The The in Montreal, I, with the help of some guests, brought you a show reflecting on larger musical culture. Madison joined me as we paid tribute to One Direction's Liam Payne in the wake of his tragic early passing, and discussed celebrity culture and the pressures in the music industry and public eye. Adam joined me as a guest to revive an old and much loved feature, Meet Me In The Mic Room, our favourite little look back at the 00s indie scene, and we discussed the face of UK indie sleaze: The Libertines, with only a healthy dose of chat about 00s music, fashion, magazines and culture, and what the Libertines meant to it all. Music this week by One Direction, Nubiyan Twist, corto.alto, The Subways, Primal Scream, Courting, SPRINTS, Charli xcx, Julian Casablancas, Lambrini Girls, DITZ, Sorry, The Libertines.
