All Back No Front #24

An All Back No Front podcast with old songs, new songs, and songs selected (months ago) by ABNF Guest Informant: Jesse Locke.

As well as bringing music by New Fries and Johnny (not to be confused with Roger) de Courcy, Torontonian writer Jesse was good enough to join me in my Canadian hotel room to chat about the decline of blog culture and his work as part of Weird Canada, one of my favourite ever MP3 blogs. We also talk about the legacy of Women and how he’s become known in some quarters as The Saucer Guy, having obsessed over and written liner notes (not to mention an upcoming book) for cult 70s outfit Simply Saucer.

There’s also sinister space disco from Jascha Hagen, twin-guitar art rock from Seattle’s Neighbor, PAN-signed electronica courtesy of Liverpudlian Ling and an exhilaratingly angry slab of righteous fury (and probably the best thing I’ve heard this year) by Auckland’s Trust Punks.
