So begins the career of Patti Smith, and today’s show. It’s a special one, focusing on rock heroes such as the Gloria singer, David Bowie, relative newcomers of The Kills, and some – poppy – My Bloody Valentine too.
PJ Harvey is heavily featured in this session, with a wide range of her material, from her first two albums Dry and Rid of Me abrasive, harsh and liberating sounds, to her more recent poetry-laden but equally amazing stuff. A quick venture in a genius’ back catalogue.
More chilled-out electronic infused tracks balance the edge of today’s rock tunes, with music from Inc., Millionyoung, Liars and Silver Swans.
