The Show: “Never be ashamed to write a melody that people remember.”

Or, more accurately,  in the words of a French composer speaking to a young Burt Bacharach “never ever feel embarrassed or discomforted by a melody that people can remember or whistle”

Of all the in memoriams we read, this one on Twitter made us smile the most, especially the replies (“Did he say what he thought of Jobseeker?” “His eyes did.”)

Unfortunately the obituaries are coming thick and fast. At the time of writing this brief eulogy news came through of the sad passing of Trugoy the Dove.

The Show: Dilla Time

There have been too many obituaries over this last month to do justice to all those who have passed but we’ll make an exception for Edson Arantes Do Nascimento. Here’s a short celebration of the 1970 world cup winning Brazilian team with Pelé taking centre stage. Directed by Douglas Hart, featuring the music of Primal Scream and first broadcast on BBC 2 back in 1994.

–

Today’s playlist is inspired by Dilla Time by Dan Charnas, the one book we managed to finish reading this year.

Not just a biography it’s also a history of rhythm, an explanation of what made James DeWitt Yancey unique and an exploration of his legacy.

For a quick interactive summary (or “audio story”) head to The Pudding website.

And on with the show…
