Recorded in a ramshackle Kent swamp studio with longtime collaborator Tom Farrer, the album introduces a bold new sound, pairing lush, cinematic production with Varley's trademark storytelling. Inspired by the East Kent Coast and US Midwest, the songs explore broken relationships, life on the road, and mental resilience against global uncertainty. Featuring guest appearances from Billy Bragg, Eleni Drake, and Dan Smith of Bastille, the album captures the tension between everyday life and the looming sense of apocalypse — while still searching for light and hope. In this conversation, Will talks about the making of the album, his evolving creative process, and why storytelling still matters in uncertain times. Highlights include: Writing and recording in Kent and the US Midwest, Collaborating with Billy Bragg, Eleni Drake & Dan Smith, Touring life, mental health, reinvention, and A new sonic chapter for Varley.

This month we're back to the mid 80s to talk about our favourite songs of 1986, including thrash metal classics, proto-industrial stompers, enormous pop bangers, massive cheesy 80s soundtrack rock and loads more.We've each chosen our 10 favourite songs of the year and sent them over to Colin's wife Helen, who put the playlists together and distributed them so we were each given a playlist of the 20 songs from the other two hosts, along with our own 10. We then ranked the playlists in order of preference and sent them back to Helen, who totalled up the points and worked out the order.She also joined us on the episode to read out the countdown, which we found out as we recorded so all reactions are genuine.Now, admittedly, in parts we're a little bit brutal to some of the songs in the list as we're three separate people with differing music tastes, but please remember that to be in this episode at all the songs have to have been in one of our top 10's of that year.Bands featured in this episode include (In alphabetical order, no spoilers here!) - a-ha, The Art Of Noise ft Max Headroom, Big Black, The Bolshoi, Bon Jovi, Billy Bragg, Stan Bush, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Crowded House, Cutting Crew, Europe, The Go-Betweens, Bruce Hornsby & The Range, The Housemartins, Hüsker Dü, In The Nursery, Iron Maiden, KMFDM, Kenny Loggins, Merzbow, Metallica, New Order, Public Image Ltd, R.E.M., Lionel Richie, Shub Niggurath, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Slayer, The Smiths, & They Might Be Giants.Find all songs in alphabetical order here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2SmV87RMDnpidlUpn4m7lU?si=Ssrrhy8iRtCgFXSP9-QXug&pi=p67BZNXETwqB5Find our We Dig Music Pollwinners Party playlist (featuring all of the winning songs up until now) here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/45zfDHo8zm6VqrvoEQSt3z?si=Ivt0oMj6SmitimvumYfFrQIf you want to listen to megalength playlists of all the songs we've individually picked since we started doing best of the year episodes (which need updating but I plan on doing them over the next few months or so), you can listen to Colin's here – https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5x3Vy5Jry2IxG9JNOtabRT?si=HhcVKRCtRhWCK1KucyrDdgIan's here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2H0hnxe6WX50QNQdlfRH5T?si=XmEjnRqISNqDwi30p1uLqAand Tracey's here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2p3K0n8dKhjHb2nKBSYnKi?si=7a-cyDvSSuugdV1m5md9NwThe playlist of 20 songs from the other two hosts was scored as usual, our favourite song got 20 points, counting down incrementally to our least favourite which got 1 point. The scoring of our own list of 10 is now slightly more complicated in order to give a truer level of points to our own favourites. So rather than them only being able to score as many points as our 10th favourite in the other list, the points in our own list were distributed as follows -1st place - 20 points2nd place - 18 points3rd place – 16 points4th place – 14 points5th place – 12 points6th place – 9 points7th place – 7 points8th place – 5 points9th place – 3 points10th place -1 pointHosts - Ian Clarke, Colin Jackson-Brown & Tracey BGuest starring Helen Jackson-Brown.Playlist compiling/distributing – Helen Jackson-BrownRecorded/Edited/Mixed/Original Music by Colin Jackson-Brown for We Dig PodcastsThanks to Peter Latimer for help with the scoring system.Part of the We Dig Podcasts network along with Free With This Months Issue & Pick A Disc.Bluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/wedigmusic.bsky.socialInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/wedigmusicpcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/wedigpusicpcast/Find our other episodes & podcasts at www.wedigpodcasts.com

An episode that hyperfixates on SPINS!Here's what's in store for today's episode: * In this episode, we dive into autistic special interests (SPINS) and the joy they bring us.* Our hosts start off by talking about how fiction can be an escape for autistic individuals from challenging childhoods.* Matt and Angela dive into their first SPINS—Frankenstein and Star Wars for Matt, and Bob Geldof and philanthropy for Angela.* We talk about director's cuts of movies and the autistic tendency to look up films on Wikipedia or IMDb while watching.* Additionally, we dive into Angela's SPIN for the band Crowded House and explore how touring for a band can radiate autistic energy.* We then discuss how the early internet was super autistic and how it helped us find our people to hyperfixate on our SPINS with.* ABA culture suggests we can only have our special interests if we're "good" and earn them, but that's not true. Our special interests are a natural part of who we are and shouldn't have to be earned or justified.* We talk about having a career built around special interests and how This Is The Way for autistic people.* Our special interests help us enter flow states, where we become deeply focused and productive, unlocking creativity and success.* Finally, we discuss how autistic SPINS can foster deep, meaningful connections, creating beautiful mutual friendships where shared passions and understanding strengthen bonds.“[My special interests] were the things that got me through it. I identified more with the fictional world than the real one because friends, family, and fictional characters.” - Matt“Now, why would you wait and watch the whole movie while instead, you could be looking things up on IMDb or Wikipedia and making your own director's cut in your mind?” - Angela“We train our children young. You must train your children in your special interests to increase emotional regulation through special interests. The children we love most accept our special interests as their own. These are the rules.” - Angela“Back in the day, the Internet was limited to the people who were really, really autistic as hell. Because you were like, ‘I absolutely need to talk about Star Wars with somebody. I will find people to talk about Transformers with, all this. And you found your people.” - Matt“We cannot enter a flow state through coercion. We cannot enter a flow state when people say, ‘hey, read this thing'. We cannot squeeze this into our head - partially because of PDA, partially because we just can't do it because that's not how our brains work. But if we have some sort of breadcrumb that gets us interested, we will go all the way and learn everything there is to know about it.” - Matt“When you find the thing that really, really comes together for you, you just kind of fall into it and that becomes your thing.” - Matt“It feels like unlocking a secret code when you meet somebody and you're able to mutually info dump about the thing that you're really passionate about, because you just hype each other up. And it is a type of relationship that I don't think neurotypicals understand.” - MattDid you enjoy this episode? We explored the power of autistic special interests (SPINS) and how they shape our lives, from hyperfocus to creating mutual friendships.

With Sprintcars on the VAILO Adelaide 500 schedule, we thought it was time for another catchup with world renowned driver, James McFadden who will be racing the NAPA Auto Parts backed Hodges Motorsport #5 in Adelaide.  The Aussie speedway star made an emotional speech at the recent High Limit Series banquet announcing his retirement from full time racing in the USA, but it's not the end of the road. J-Mac talks about the reasons behind his shock decision, explains what's next and shares some highs and lows from his time in the States. We look ahead to a significant moment for the sport (in this part of the world) and what his expectations are with the Hodges Motorsport team this weekend. It's been a hell of a ride for J-Mac, but as you'll hear he's at the peak of his game and still deeply loves turning left and standing on the gas! Enjoy the ride.  A huge thank you to Tim Hodges from Hodges Motorsport for making this chat possible.  The 2024 VAILO Adelaide 500 is the 25th edition of the event, General Admission tickets start from $39 and can be bought at Ticketmaster, which includes access to NAPA Speedway, Boost Mobile AUSX Supercross Sprint and after-race concert series headlined by Cold Chisel and Crowded House.
