Episode Description

It’s taken James Ellis Ford twenty plus years in the A game to release his debut solo record. In these years he’s become possibly the go to producer for anyone from Blur to Depeche Mode to Kylie to Gorillaz to Foals to Arctic Monkeys. He’s also a Simian Mobile Disco, a Last Shadow Puppet, an Eno protege and inadvertently responsible for the epoch defining mid noughties anthem We Are Your Friends. It would have been easy for him to have made a celeb heavy, zeitgeist grabbing debut, instead, The Hum, released on Warp, is a dense, widescreen ode to pastoral prog, 70s fusion, King Crimson and so much more. James chats with Paul about finding his confidence, the method he absorbed from Eno that go beyond the technical and the enigmatic eccentricity of English music.

James Ellis Ford’s album The Hum is available now on Warp Records.

This Was Rad! Podcast HarvBerg Prods This Was Rad Podcast is about two friends, Paul and Greg, who look back on the raddest movies of their childhood to see if they still hold up. With a satirical eye, they’ll review each film beat by beat with “lost scenes”, ‘amazing’ impressions, jokes, music, and sounds all in the name of funny. Most importantly, each host passes judgment to declare, Was This Rad? Is This Still Rad today! Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Explicit Ad Lib & Actualize Faith Lackey My name is Faith, and I'm your host for Ad Lib & Actualize. I created this podcast to share my ongoing journey of vulnerability and self-actualization with you.So who am I? I love to write and paint, I go to therapy, I have anxiety and mild depression, and I love Sailor Moon and Critical Role. I know - that doesn't really tell you much.Why should you listen to my podcast? Maybe you're going through some hard times right now, maybe you're a struggling artist, maybe you're having a hard time finding a reason to get out of bed every morning, maybe you feel lost and unsure of your goals or purpose in life. Or maybe you like Sailor Moon too.The whole idea behind Self-Actualization encompasses self-expression through whatever medium you choose, owning your beliefs and worldviews, loving what you love without shame or fear, embracing vulnerability... And here's the hardest part: learning to love yourself.So let's talk. <3 Explicit Lost & Forgotten Worlds C Wilson Trull Lost and Forgotten Worlds is my podcast about one of my favorite hobbies, Role Playing Games. As you listen, we hope to take you on an adventure through the golden age of RPGs; when Dungeons & Dragons was a young game, only contained within a few books. When the miniatures, cast from lead, scattered across the table top. When the world bore witness to fantastical games like Rolemaster, Psi World, and Star Frontiers.Join me as I take young adventurers through the games of high adventure, mystery, and drama. Through the land of Two-Moons. Pilot clockwork ships through the luminiferous aether. Do battle against the minions of supervillains before they take over the city. If we're lucky, maybe we might have time to stop for a pint at the Vulgar Unicorn (but please try not to get stabbed). Now we wont always stick to the games from my youth. But to truly know where we're going, we must first look back at where we began.Welcome to the Lost and Forgotten Worlds podcast.
