 If you listen to some people you'd be forgiven for thinking that their should be no such thing as a guilty pleasure - if you like something, you fucking like it, and there should be no shame in that. I sort of agree with that in a way, but erm, y'know, bollocks. Total bollocks. We change who we are all the time, we develop, we grow, we learn, and just as videos of me awkwardly learning to ski would be embarrassing to watch, listening back to some of the cack I used to listen to when I was younger is also embarrassing. I don't hate much of it, in retrospect, honestly. In fact, a lot it I still love, with a definite sense of 'I refuse to be shamed' defiance. But just as every crappy, badly executed relationship, mumbled chat-up line and embarrassing sexual encounter was necessary in order to for me to end up where I am with Mrs. Toad, so every musical misstep, be it daft, excruciating or misguided has led me to where I am musically. So I don't really regret any of this stuff (except The Streets), and even in retrospect I don't really dislike it either, but that doesn't mean there isn't a slight sense of shame at a younger, less confident, more impressionable me. Having said that, though, I think having plenty of shame in your musical background is probably a healthy thing. It seems to me to imply that you were taking risks, listening to new stuff, trying things out and having your own opinions. The results may occasionally be embarrassing in retrospect, but the approach which got you there is probably more healthy than never trying out new shit and only listening to stuff you know you're going to like. 01.

Right, given we've come down to Manchester for the Meursault gig, I thought I might make a podcast based around the two years I spent living here.  As I mentioned on this week's Friday Five, however, those were really not very happy times so basically this podcast is just a great big hour-long whinge about how shit my life was a couple of times a few years ago. Nah, not really.  I mean, I do describe why life was tough then but it really isn't just a great big moan, I promise.  For some reason the music in my life at those times seems to have really stuck in my head and become incredibly strongly associated with the period in question.  Partly, I suppose, because the emotional succour you get from music when things are a bit rough is something you're grateful enough for for it to really form an important connection. The other aspect is that on both those occasions I had so little music with me that the stuff I did have got played over and over again, so a really small amount of stuff really dominated my listening habits at that point, and became incredibly strongly intertwined with all of my memories of the time.  So, er, yes.  Here you go: The Manchester Podcast.
