“THIS Album…” with William Hann

Truck Festival

For purveyors of all things indie, Truck has a lot to offer...

Luckily, the good people of Dork asked me to write a review of all the bands I watched on Hill Farm last weekend. You can read it on their website or you can have the audiobook version of it on this weeks episode of the podcast.

You can get my thoughts on the incredible sets I caught from The Cribs, Will Gamble, Getdown Services, We Are Scientists, Primal Scream, The Maccabees, 22 Grand Pod, Oxford Symphony Orchestra, Ivo Graham, Friendly Fires, Adult DVD, The Vaccines, Black Honey, Two Door Cinema Club, Vanessa Carlton, Picture Parlour, Westside Cowboy and...... The Libertines!

My god, that's a lot of indie!

It's out now to read on Dork and it's available to watch / listen to wherever you find your podcasts.

For this mini episode I'm joined backstage at Truck Festival by nonsense merchants and New York icons We Are Scientists!

We discuss their love of Def Leppard, hedonism Vs professionalism and memories of Chaos at Koko.

Enjoy irresponsibly.

Comedian Daniel McKeon joins William to dive into one of Stevie Wonder's most overlooked and ambitious records, Journey Through the Secret Life of Plants.
Often overshadowed by classics like Songs in the Key of Life and Innervisions, this 1979 soundtrack album took Stevie Wonder in a completely different direction. Together, William and Daniel explore why the record divided critics, how its groundbreaking use of synthesizers helped shape the future of electronic music, and why it deserves another listen.
Along the way, they discuss discovering new music during lockdown, cooking to albums, Edinburgh Fringe, playlists built around vampire stories, Stevie Wonder's creative genius, and the emotional connections that make certain records stay with us forever. Expect plenty of laughs, surprising musical rabbit holes, and a fresh perspective on one of the most unusual albums in Stevie Wonder's catalogue.
If you love album deep dives, music history, comedy podcasts, or discovering forgotten classics, this episode is for you.

If you talk it, it will come?
Does that work?
Who knows, who cares.
One thing I do care about though, is making sure that I'm on the line up at Glastonbury 2027, either DJing somewhere or doing a live version of the podcast there.
So I've released a cheeky little bonus episode talking it into existance.
I also give my thoughts on some of the acts that I want to see on Worthy Farm in 2027.
