On the podcast: what would Trump's second term look like?  Vengeance is a lifelong theme of Donald Trump's, writes Freddy Gray in this week's cover story – and this year's presidential election could provide his most delectable payback of all. Meanwhile, Kate Andrews writes that Nikki Haley's campaign is over – and with it went the hopes of the Never Trump movement. Where did it all go wrong? They both join the podcast to discuss what to expect from Trump's second coming. (03:11) Then: Will and Gus take us through some of their favourite pieces from the magazine, including Michael Hann's Pop review and Cosmo Landesman's City Life column. (16:38) Next: Flora Watkins writes in The Spectator about on private schools. She discusses how she is taking her kids out of private school, partly because of a rise in school fees brought about by inflation and the cost of living and partly in anticipation of Labour imposing VAT on school fees. To debate, Julie Robinson – general secretary of the Independent Schools Council – and Fiona Millar – former education advisor to Tony Blair – join the podcast. (20:36) And finally: the rise of organised shoplifting. Shoplifting is on the increase, writes Harriet Sergeant, not because of struggling Britons, but because of organised criminals trafficking children, too young to be charged, from around Europe to steal from British shops. They view the UK as poorly policed but rich; the perfect place for stealing goods to sell on quickly. Harriet joins the podcast alongside Xander Cloudsley, a shoplifting activist from the organisation This Is Rigged. (31:36) Hosted by William Moore and Gus Carter.  Produced by Oscar Edmondson.  If you have any feedback, please contact us on: podcast@spectator.co.uk

So here it is, my #techno bootleg of Bruce Springsteen's 'Candy's Room'. It's 45 years since the original track was released on the album 'Darkness on the Edge of Town'. This was Bruce's fourth album, released three years after his breakthrough LP "Born to Run'. The release of ;'Darkness...' was delayed by a legal dispute with his ex-manager over ownership of his tracks. 'Candy's Room' was described by 'The Quietus' Michael Hann as the album's "most musically violent moment" Lyrically, it's a fantasy song in which the singer imagines being with the Candy of the title. Unfortunately for him, Candy is popular with many suitors who trade fancy garnishments for her affection. Springsteen thought it fit the theme of the album, which he described as "people tryin' to hold on for the things they believe in, in the face of battering from the outside." (Quote from 'Springsteen' by Robert Hilburn.) Driven by a furious and un-relenting rhythm and introduced by a driving ride pattern on the hats, I thought it was perfect for a techno remix. So here it is. Let me know what you think in the comments!!

!sretratseriF kcab emocleW... What's that funny sentence? A secret hidden message of course! Because this week we're getting into the weeds of heavy metal and Satanic Panic. Were Judas Priest hiding secret messages in their songs? Was music threatening the very fabric of the modern world? And where did the moral panic go? It's a complicated, tragic, and often absurd story, so music journalist and metal-head Michael Hann is back to talk us through it all! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Bruce Springsteen is turning 70; rock's gods are getting on. It's not clear who's there with electric guitars to replace them. Younger acts are failing to make hit singles. Veteran rock journalist Mark Coles believes rock music has lost its ability to surprise and innovate. Record label boss Vanessa Higgins describes how the writing of hit songs no longer favours the rock format. Music critic Michael Hann blames the high costs of making rock as part of the reason for its decline. But Chris Woltman, manager of the band Twenty One Pilots, believes bands have adapted rock for a new generation of fans and industry veteran Sat Bisla details how rock is making headway in non-traditional markets like India and Indonesia.

The Lemon Twigs have recently toured the US, Europe, and Japan after the release of their first album, Do Hollywood.  An article by Michael Hann in the UK Guardian said this about a song on the album:  "These Words is the missing track from side one of Rundgren’s Something/Anything, with a harmony chorus that expands like a hot air balloon".  https://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/oct/13/the-lemon-twigs-do-hollywood-album-review-4ad The Twigs recently brought out Todd Rundgren at Coachella to perform "Couldn't I Just Tell You" as an encore. The Lemon Twigs are an American pop/rock band from Long Island, New York, United States, fronted by brothers Brian D’Addario and Michael D’Addario. Both brothers are vocalists, songwriters and multi-instrumentalists, and are joined for most live performances by Megan Zeankowski on bass and Danny Ayala on keyboards and backing vocals. The band was signed to British alternative music label 4AD in 2015. Their debut album, Do Hollywood, was released in October 2016 to widespread critical acclaim.  A number of pop music figures have publicly expressed admiration for the Twigs: Elton John, The Zombies, Boy George, Laura Marling, Gilbert O'Sullivan, and Gary Brooker of Procol Harum.
