English/Irish composer and arranger Sean O'Hagan (Microdisney, Stereolab) is perhaps best known as the visionary behind The High Llamas, whose second album Gideon Gaye (1994) blended a healthy respect for the harmonic tableaus of both Brian Wilson and Steely Dan with a delicate UK pop sound reminiscent of his contemporaries such as Prefab Sprout. On the brand new High Llamas album, Hey Panda, (featuring guests including Fryars, and Bonny "Prince" Billy) O'Hagan has been absorbing many of the production tricks of contemporary hip-hip records from the likes of Tyler The Creator or Solange, while retaining most of the melodic tendencies that first endeared High Llamas' fans to his music. As you'll hear, O'Hagan cares deeply about keeping his ear to the ground for the new while honoring the past. It's a great conversation.  And Record Store Day co-founder Carrie Colliton returns after a highly successful Record Store Day 2024.  The Record Store Day Podcast is written, produced, engineered and hosted by Paul Myers, who also composed the theme music and selected interstitial music.

The wonderful Sean O'Hagan joins us to chat about the new High Llamas record Hey Panda, and his songwriting process. The acclaimed artist, producer, and arranger explores a wealth of topics including his formative work in beloved Irish band Microdisney, writing about his own life and experiences, and his insatiable appetite for new music.

durée : 00:53:41 - Very Good Trip - par : Michka Assayas - Ce soir, on va commencer par un parfum tropical mais rêvé et imaginé à New York.

In this episode we welcome revered High Llamas leader (and arranger to the hip and the mighty) Sean O'Hagan to Hammersmith and ask him about his life and times from Microdisney to new album Hey Panda. We hear about Sean's Luton childhood, his family's move back to Ireland, and his 1980 encounter with the late Cathal Coughlan — the Corkonian with whom he formed the brave and brilliant Microdisney. Their path through '80s pop via Rough Trade and Virgin, and their eventual unravelling at the end of the decade, is discussed with reference to the new BBC documentary The Clock Comes Down the Stairs. The birth of the High Llamas involves RBP's own Mark Pringle, who recalls his production work on the 1992 EP Apricots (a.k.a. Santa Barbara). The influence of Brian Wilson on the sound and aesthetic of 1994's Gideon Gaye and 1996's Hawaii leads to Sean's reminiscences of meeting the Beach Boys and (almost) producing them. A side story involves his amusing memories of backing another cult L.A. genius, Love's Arthur Lee, in London. After we've heard clips from Mike Quigley's 1969 audio interview with Carl Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine and Bruce Johnston, we return to the arc of the Llamas' story and ask Sean about the influence of contemporary R&B on the Llamas' Hey Panda. Finally, Mark and Jasper talk us out with quotes from the pieces they've most enjoyed adding to the RBP library over the preceding fortnight. Many thanks to special guest Sean O'Hagan. The High Llamas new album, Hey Panda, is out now; visit highllamas.com or your local record shop to get your hands on it. Pieces discussed: The High Llamas: You Can Call Me Alpaca, The High Llamas: Lo-fi Heaven, The High Llamas: A Different Breed, An Improbable History: Microdisney Interviewed, The Beach Boys audio, Ted Nugent Unleashes His Little Ball of Fire, Leonard Bernstein: Lenny's song and dance in Vienna, Lounging with Mr Williams, So why exactly does David Gray have this effect on women? and Terence Trent D'Arby: Neither Fish Nor Flesh.

Indie News, Gablé, Arab Strap, The High Llamas ...

Friend of the show Sean O'Hagan returns to the Low Profile to discuss “Hey Panda,” the first release from The High Llamas in eight years. When we last spoke in 2021, he had dropped the High Llamas moniker and forged a new path under his given name, embracing more contemporary influences.  In the years since, he's recruited Llamas new and old to reroute the course of the band he's led since the early ‘90s, and invited exciting guest performers to come along for the ride. “Hey Panda” is out on March 29th from Drag City Records. Today Sean explains the process that led to this album, collaborating with Bonnie Prince Billy and Fryars, recent production and arrangement work with other artists, and a bit of the contemporary music he's been getting into lately.

There are more than a few points when Hey Panda sounds like the work of an entirely different band. The songwriting is sharp as ever, but Sean O'Hagan gleefully pushes the High Llamas into new directions. It's an impressive accomplishment in itself more than three decades after the band's formed. O'Hagan was already a music industry vet by the time he founded the High Llamas in 1990, having spent the previous decade sharing songwriting credits for Rough Trade act, Microdisney.

A short preview of Episode 37 – Hawaii by The High Llamas

Todo un lujo la entrevista con g.a.t.o. para la posteridad para rematar la temporada y despedirnos hasta el primer martes (es el día que tenéis disponible nuestro podcast cada semana) del mes de septiembre). Nuestros invitados, ese dúo de ocasión (que, a lo mejor, tiene más recorrido y vida artística y pasa de ser una cosa puntual) que forman Yani Martinelli y Marcus Holdaway. Ella, venezolana, aparte de sus discos en solitario, como "Astral" o "Sweet silence" (por referirnos a obras recientes) ha sido habitual en los créditos de trabajos de Seasongs o Wild Honey o con Pepe Bermejo (Mamá y Happy Losers). Ël es componente de los High Llamas junto a Sean O ´Hagan. De la unión de dos multi-instrumentistas (Yani se trajo guitarra y Marcus, teclados, para la actuación en nuestro estudio) nace Colourway y este disco que nos presentan que se publicó a mediados de junio. Antes, en charla telefónica, nuestro interlocutor, fue Manuel Pnazo, director de Muzikalia, para comentar detalles de esa ramificación de la web musical que incluye edición de libros. Por eso, en el curso de la charla sonaron Lagartija Nick, Sr. Chinarro y Fernando Alfaro. Abrimos con música de Liz Phair ahora que sale la edición corregida y aumentada de "Exile in Guyville" para celebrar un aniversario redondo. Luego, el antecedente cercano del todo del que se desgajaron los proyectos Bon Iver, por un lado, y Megafaun, por otro. Entre entrevista y entrevista, más adelantos del retorno de El Faro, con Carlos Díaz al frente y el mundo spoken word cercano a Kate Tempest que construyen Laura Sam y Juan Escribano que cuentan con Abraham Boba de invitado. En la recta final el vigésimo disco de quien empezó siendo John Cougar y se trabsformò en John Mellencamp y el sexto álbum de la canadiense Shania Twin, tras cambiar de sello y superar problemas con su voz.

Si Shakeitmila dice que te va a escribir la canción más bonita del mundo, es que realmente se dispone a hacerlo. Como si THE BREEDERS o BIKINI KILL hubieran querido hacer una canción radicalmente pop, con una estructura más dinámica, y con más juegos de armonías. “Mochi” , nuevo single de LISASINSON, es pop con mayúsculas, el que hizo grande a LOS PLANETAS o a JUNIPER MOON, e incluso a CARIÑO o NOSOTRÄSH. La banda sevillana Victorias ,después de lanzar su segundo LP 'Un puño amable' (nov 2022), continua su progresión imparable, y van consiguiendo nuevas ‘victorias' y nuevas metas que les acabará llevando a los escenarios de los mejores festivales del país.Hannah Jadagu celebra que este viernes publica Aperture, su disco de debut, con el ensoñador indie-pop de "lose"Girl ray se entregan al aterciopelado disco pop en "up", nuevo single de Prestige, su nuevo disco. “Virgencica”, el nuevo single digital de ALEXANDERPLATZ , primer adelanto del LP “Noches blancas, mañana negras” que verá la luz el próximo mes de septiembre. “Que nadie sepa” es el primer single que la artista donostarria , Andrea Buenavista, estrena una canción en la que confirma que las modas y excentricidades no son para ella. Pasa de artificios y de los empoderamientos fingidos del mainstream. Seis años después de Crashpad (Subterfuge 2017) Neuman publica su mejor disco, Waterhole, y devuelve a los escenarios uno de los directos más apabullante. Claim abrirán el concierto de Arde Bogotá en Murcia, y presentan nuevo single, "Bengala". “Time” es el nuevo álbum de la banda británica Simply Red, que supone su regreso a sonidos soul y funk con el tema “It Wouldn't Be Me” como tema foco. Lorena Álvarez continúa experimentando con sus canciones favoritas, acompañada siempre por sus Rondadores y, en esta ocasión, por el propio autor al que revisita: Julio Bustamante. La popular banda de músicas del mundo Jenny And The Mexicats regresa a lo grande con un nuevo single, titulado Call Me, en el que supone su regreso tras tres años sin estrenar nueva música. Wild Bird es el tema principal de la banda Sonora de un western imaginario. Con inspiración de los universos de Ennio Morricone y Sergio Leone, el nuevo tema de The Coral sorprende con su tono cinemático e irresistible. El arreglo de cuerdas viene de la mano de Sean O'Hagan de los High Llamas. 'Sometimes' es el tercer adelanto de 'Be Opened By The Wonderful' en el que la mítica banda reimagina algunos de sus temas en versión orquestal. ‘Carolina Durante lanza Marta Sebas Guille y los demás', uno de los éxitos indiscutibles de Amaral. Grupo de Expertos Solynieve tienen nuevo disco, el epé de cuatro canciones Primera necesidad. Teleclub adelantan la segunda canción del nuevo EP “Recordarás Mi Nombre”. En este caso, “Al Final Del Verano” vuelve a ser una gran muestra de tecno-pop fresco, saltarín, colorido y directo.El primer álbum de Portero Delantero (proyecto de IVán Marcos) se publicará entre 2023, 2024 y estará compuesto de 7 canciones. Ya se pueden disfrutar los tres primeros adelantos.

"Cathal Coughlan Remembered: Somewhere Between Joe Gould And Lee Mavers" “The supreme question about a work of art,” James Joyce once wrote, "is out of how deep a life does it spring.” If you tried to plumb the fathoms for a measurable reading of the life of Cathal Coughlan—well, the depth finder would crack right in half. Coughaln's life has been a rich and textured affair and his talent is vast and incomprehensibly majestic. With his band Microdisney, The Cork -born musician put out several of the most affecting albums ever made. Efforts like The Clock Comes Down the Stairs in 1985 or the following year's Crooked Mile, are front to back classics. After he and his bandmate Sean O-Hagan dissolved Microdisney and O-Hagan went on to form the High Llamas, Coughlan fired up the Fatima Mansions—an aggressive, fiery and angular outfit, that played synth-laced alternative rock that churned away with grinding and brutal beauty. Viva Dead Ponies and Lost In The Former West are two personal favorites, but the fact is, I love every album in their discography. Over the course of his career Coughlan put out a series of brilliant solo albums, collaborated with the likes of comic Sean Hughes and British singer/songwriter Luke Haines, scored movies like The Last Bus Home and The Mapmaker, toured with U2, appeared onstage in a contemporary opera, and reformed Microdisney for a brief series of triumphant shows. His new album Song of Co-Aklan is a work of startling beauty and precision. Imbued with poetic invention and finesse, haunting melodies, riveting ballads and an unmistakable wisdom and pop grace, Coughlan has never sounded better. This is a deep and focused conversation that can't be encapsulated in a sentence or two—you just have to listen. But we do touch on Lee Mavers, friendship, Sting, the legend of Joe Gould, the vulnerability of solo shows and staying prolific during lockdown.

Cathal Coughlan is the Irish music legend, Co- founder and singer of acclaimed 80s /90s groups Microdisney and Fatima Mansions.  As one of Ireland's most revered singer and lyricist, Coughlan has been described by the Guardian as “the most underrated lyricist in pop today.” The legendary DJ, John Peel said he could “listen to Cathal Couglan sing the phone book.”   In 2019, Coughlan and the members of  Microdisney were the first recipients of Ireland's National Concert Hall Trailblazer Award, which celebrated culturally important albums by iconic Irish musicians, songwriters and composers (for 1985's The Clock Comes Down the Stairs)In 2021 Coughlan released his latest solo album in Dimple Discs called Song of Co-Aklan, his first new music in ten years, along  with videos produced by Emmy Award-winning Filmmaker George Seminara.  Recorded in London, the tracks in the album features contributions from members of long time  collaborators The Grand Necropolitan Quartet  featuring Sean O'Hagen (Microdisney, High Llamas, Stereolab), Luke Haines (the Auteurs, Black Box Recorder), Rhodri Marsden (Scritti Politti), acclaimed Irish-singer/songwriter Eileen Gogan, Andrias O Gruama (Fatima Mansions) and Cory Gray (The Delines) on Wurlitzer Piano.

Just in time for Christmas Eve, here is my gift to you all.  It's a holiday mixtape featuring artists who have been featured on Low Profile over the years!  This is definitely not a traditional Christmas mix, you're going to hear a lot of new songs with just a few tweaks to some old familiar tunes from the sort of esoteric artists you've come to expect from this show.  There's even a couple exclusives!This is an updated version of the physical cassette tape that I sent out to all the patreon supporters in December of 2020.  If you'd like to join their ranks and help support the show, please visit patreon.com/lowprofile and give whatever you can to keep this show on track.    The track listing for this episode is below.  And now, the play button!01.  Chris Mastheim “Christmastime is Here”   Nick Krgovich has released a bunch of holiday music under the pseudonym Chris Mastheim.  This is the lyrics to the Vince Guaraldi classic, set to a remix of the Twin Peaks theme song.  A homespun mashup, ready for your local grocery store's holiday playlist.   From the album Chris Mastheim Is Here. 02. Margo Guryan “I Don't Intend to Spend Christmas Without You”   This song isn't really about Christmas, rather about the 25th of December.   From the album 25 Demos. 03. Karl Blau “Dance of the Seaweed Kites”   From his dub cover album of Tchaikovsky, The Coconutcracker, this is a new interpretation of a holiday favorite for generations. 04. Cornershop ft TRWBADOR  “Every Year So Different” This somewhat melancholy tune at least tries to brighten things up in its refrain.  For me, it's all about Cornershop frontman Tjinder Singh's ever-present, not-so-secret weapon: the gift of groove.05. Larry Norman “Christmastime”  Christian rock's original badass' scathing commentary on commercialism, resounding like a long-haired Linus Van Pelt and rocking out like Marc Bolan.   From the album So Long Ago in the Garden. 06. Jib Kidder “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.”   As Sean Schuster-Craig puts it, he released his 2003 Xmas album “into any left out pair of shoes left out” at the radio station where he worked at the time.07. Gary Wilson “Sled Ride Tonight” A melancholy love song from his album It's Christmas with Gary Wilson.08. Amps For Christ “Cherry Tree Carol” This is an old folk song about Joseph being a total dick to the Virgin Mary, and then getting a sick burn. From the Kill Rock Stars LP The Oak in the Ashes.09.  Cody Trout Band “Can't Wait for Christmas”   The band Heatwarmer, incognito.  The lyrics say it all.10. Steve Hindalong and Chris Colbert (AKA Skinny and Crisco Bear) “Tis the Season of Excess”   According to Steve, “the skinny Santa's sort of the anti-Santa.  Instead of ‘what you you want, little boy or little girl'… he admonishes everybody for their excessiveness.”  Steve Hindalong has won multiple Dove Awards for his work in Christmas music, and this is not one of those songs. From the 1996 compilation Christmas in Heaven. 11. Swamp Dogg “Santa's Just a Happy Fat Fart”   Father Christmas really seems to have it made, not that I'm jealous or anything, but… From the album An Awful Christmas and a Lousy New Year,12. Klaus Nomi “Silent Night” From the so-called “unfinished opera” Za Bakdaz, here's a particularly lively dance version of a traditional hymn from the late space diva Klaus Nomi13. Gretchen Christopher “Christmas is You” After Gretchen Christopher, chanteuse of the Fleetwoods, recorded her interview for Low Profile outdoors on the deck, Andrew Ebright returned to her home and recorded this performance of one of her most recent songs exclusively for the show.  14. Sean O'Hagan “Kabon's Christmas” In much of Sean's music, particularly the High Llamas, it's not unusual to hear the sound of sleigh bells no matter the topic.  This tune is the only one I can think of that mentions them by name.  15. Julian Koster “Hark The Herald Angels Sing” The Music Tapes frontman accompanies himself on nothing but sleigh bells and musical saw.  In other words, metal AF.  From his album The Singing Saw at Christmastime.16. Cory Ledet “C'est temps noel” Zydeco dynamo Corey Ledet gets bilingual on us in this holiday original, burning up the keys on his accordion! 17. Ashley Eriksson “It's Cold Outside” “Thinking about sound and vision.  Honey, it's cold outside.” Recorded on a Yamaha PSR-37 keyboard.  (Exclusive track)18. Miles Davis (vox by Bob Dorough) “Blue Xmas (To Whom it May Concern)” More critique on the commercialism that creeps in around the end of the year from our hero Bob.   From the Miles Davis album Sorcerer

Season 4 Finale: The incomparable Sean O'Hagan's first major band was the Irish 1980s pop group Microdisney. After that group disbanded, he started recording with his next project, the High Llamas, who released some of the most beautiful pop music of the last 30 years. This is a song “The Hot Revivalist” from their 1996 album Hawaii. Recently, he has dropped the High Llamas moniker in favor of his own name. The latest Sean O'Hagan album is “Radum Calls, Radum Calls.” No, there's not an echo in here. Sean and I speak about the stylistic transitions between his projects, joining the band Stereolab, working with Bonnie Prince Billy, how he came to be one of the today's most in-demand musical arrangers, his recent bout with cancer, and his love of soul music. After the interview, he shares an exclusive recording he and his daughter Livvy made specifically for this episode, and I share my gratitude for all the terrific people who contributed to this amazing season.

“Sparkle Up” Raised in Cork, Sean O'Hagan got his start with the beloved Irish indie outfit Microdisney in 1980. Microdisney put out five marvelous albums in eluding The Clock Comes Down the Stairs and Crooked Mile, before calling it a day in 1988. Two years later O'Hagan put out the High Llamas solo album and then he put together a band of the same name. Atmospheric, harmonic, melodic and rife with texture and nuance, the work of the High Llamas summons the musical complexity of everyone from Brian Wilson to Ennio Morricone. Therese's even a dash of XTC in there. The High Llamas' brand of summer psychedelia summons the surf, the summer the joy and isolation of island life and the complex contrasts of any coastal city where high rises and blindingly beautiful beaches occupy the same space. The High Llamas have put out ten stellar records, including Gideon Gaye, Hawaii, Santa Barbara, and Here Come the Rattling Trees, and you would think that would keep O'Hagan busy enough, but his CV proves otherwise. He's collaborated with everyone from Will Oldham to Cornelius and not only was he a member of Stererolab in the early '90s, he's appeared on many of their albums. A producer, a gifted guitarist, and a real sonic architect, O'Hagan is intuitive, instinctive and blessed with the kind of musical aptitude that ranks him among the very best. www.highllamas.com www.bombshellradio.com

"Somewhere Between Joe Gould And Lee Mavers" “The supreme question about a work of art,” James Joyce once wrote, "is out of how deep a life does it spring.” If you tried to plumb the fathoms for a measurable reading of the life of Cathal Coughlan—well, the depth finder would crack right in half. Coughaln’s life has been a rich and textured affair and his talent is vast and incomprehensibly majestic. With his band Microdisney, The Cork -born musician put out several of the most affecting albums ever made. Efforts like The Clock Comes Down the Stairs in 1985 or the following year’s Crooked Mile, are front to back classics. After he and his bandmate Sean O-Hagan dissolved Microdisney and O-Hagan went on to form the High Llamas, Coughlan fired up the Fatima Mansions—an aggressive, fiery and angular outfit, that played synth-laced alternative rock that churned away with grinding and brutal beauty. Viva Dead Ponies and Lost In The Former West are two personal favorites, but the fact is, I love every album in their discography. Over the course of his career Coughlan put out a series of brilliant solo albums, collaborated with the likes of comic Sean Hughes and British singer/songwriter Luke Haines, scored movies like The Last Bus Home and The Mapmaker, toured with U2, appeared onstage in a contemporary opera, and reformed Microdisney for a brief series of triumphant shows. His new album Song of Co-Aklan is a work of startling beauty and precision. Imbued with poetic invention and finesse, haunting melodies, riveting ballads and an unmistakable wisdom and pop grace, Coughlan has never sounded better. This is a deep and focused conversation that can’t be encapsulated in a sentence or two—you just have to listen. But we do touch on Lee Mavers, friendship, Sting, the legend of Joe Gould, the vulnerability of solo shows and staying prolific during lockdown.

In this episode we are joined by self-professed "failed musician" and pasta-sauce mogul Loyd Grossman, OBE, to wax nostalgic about the most important years of his illustrious career: those he spent as a contributor to Fusion, Rolling Stone and other American music papers. Loyd reminisces very amusingly about seminal late '60s shows at the Boston tea party, before explaining how he moved to London and reinvented himself as a British national treasure on TV and in every kitchen in the country. He also recounts how he came to play guitar, three times a year, with Jethro Tull. After a digression on the sad passing of Fairport Convention's original singer Judy Dyble, Loyd joins his hosts in hearing clips from a 1982 audio interview with Queen's Brian May in which that poodle-headed plank-spanker describes, among other things , working with David Bowie on the classic 'Under Pressure'. Barney drags Loyd into a discussion of the wrath heaped upon his compatriots the (Dixie) Chicks, whose new album Gaslighter affords the opportunity to examine the close links between country music and hyper-patriotism. Loyd turns out to be a country fan and gives a special thumbs-up to the Chicks' defiant 2006 song 'Not Ready To Make Nice'. Mark brings the episode to the boil with remarks on new library pieces such as Lillian Roxon's 1966 review of James Brown at Madison Square Garden, Roy Carr's day out in Hyde Park in summer 1970 watching Pink Floyd and Kevin Ayers, and David Keeps meeting Madonna at the Hard Rock Café. Jasper's chosen pieces include Ian Penman on hip hop and John Calvert on OK Go…Many thanks to special guest Loyd Grossman.The Rock's Backpages podcast is proud to be part of the Pantheon podcast network.Pieces discussed: Bonzo Dog Band, Beatles, Pink Floyd, Groundhogs, Queen's Brian May audio, (Dixie) Chicks, (Less Dixie) Chicks, (Least Dixie) Chicks, James Brown, Pink Floyd & Kevin Ayers, Mama Michelle, Archie Bell, Sex Pistols, Madonna, Anthony Wilson, High Llamas, Jackson Browne, Hip hop books and OK Go.

Otra vuelta al mundo en menos de 60 minutos. Arrancamos una nueva y poliédrica edición de Future Beats con el maestro del Ethio-Jazz Mulatu Astatke y su segunda colaboración con el colectivo jazz de Melbourne Black Jesus Experience. Guiados por un irresistible sunshine mood (este programa se ha grabado en el interior de un coche en la Costa Brava) viajamos también a Nueva Orleans con la veterana Preservation Hall Jazz Band; saltamos a Miami con el latin-soul bilingüe de Jason Joshua, rutilante fichaje de Penrose Records, la división en la costa oeste americana de la escudería Daptone; En Europa visitamos a Sven Wunder que, basándose en los principios y la estética de Ukiyo-e, un estilo de grabados en madera japoneses populares durante el período Edo, combina los sonidos de la flauta de concierto occidental, el guzheng, el sintetizador Moog y el piano eléctrico Wurlitzer fusionando y reformulando estilos "para conectar con la naturaleza y concentrarse en las asimetrías", según explica. En Francia pasamos por Lyon con Da Break y su incursión en el dub humeante y viscoso. Y París, donde operan Oracle Sisters, todavía sin álbum pero con una serie impecable de singles inspirados en Brian Wilson, High Llamas y ciertas reminiscencias space age pop; Nos daremos un chapuzón hedonista con los italianos La Feste Antonacci y tendremos tiempo de saborear el atardecer en Tanzania de la mano de Kutiman y sus grabaciones de campo manipuladas.El anochecer lo dejamos para el extraradio de Barcelona y el rumor eterno de sus autopistas que inspiran a Flamaradas y el crepuscular, elaboradísimo y majestuoso álbum del productor y compositor Blake Mills, quien además tuvo tiempo este año de participar de forma intensa en el regreso discográfico de Bob Dylan.El final de nuestro viaje hoy lo dejaremos en manos de Idris Ackamor & The Pyramids y el rollercoaster de estados de ánimo y emociones que es su expansiva música.

Sean O'Hagan is a founding member of the Irish indie band Microdisney, alongside Cathal Coughlan; the band initially formed in Cork but was based in London from 1982 until their split in 1988. He released a solo album titled High Llamas in 1990, which would become the name of a band he subsequently formed. The High Llamas were influenced by the Beach Boys, Ennio Morricone, Antonio Carlos Jobim and avant-garde electronica. He has also collaborated extensively with Stereolab, he was an official member from 1993 to 1994, and is credited as a guest musician on later releases.

Tracks from Charles Mingus, Pylon, The Weeds (featuring Michael Morley of the Dead C), Squarepusher, The High Llamas, and Johnny Boy are played and discussed during the final show before Bob goes to Mexico for a week.
