Litter On The Breeze - A Suede Podcast

• The 'Head Music' Era - Suede in 1999

  Litter On The Breeze - the podcast about the music, the stories and the fans of Suede - returns with our longest ever episode!  Thanks to the extra time made available by amending the podcast plan with our friendly hosts Buzzsprout, we have been able to give you two shows in one today - all focused on the Head Music -era and where the band were in 1999! In the first half of the programme, you will hear me in conversation with my friend Jesper - where topics such as Suede's continued popularity in Europe and Is 'Elephant Man' Good? come up, in addition to looking at the singles from the album plus some other stuff besides!After that, the ever-popular 'The Cover Of A Magazine' feature  returns, as I rifle through the pages of Melody Maker dated 3/4/99 to look at two Suede articles at what they tell us about the band at the time. This of course includes a personal story about buying a MiniDisc Player... Also, there's time to talk a bit about Echo & The Bunnymen, Orbital, dEUS and...umm..Stereophonics!Show Notes:Here's a link to the edition of 'Music Week' which espouses Melody Maker's sorry circulation figures - and the article describing their change to a glossy magazine style format. What could possibly go wrong?And here's the episode of 'Chart Music' with Sarah Bee and the late, great Neil Kulkarni talking about MM's last days..UK Top 100 in the week 'Electricity' rubbed shoulders with The Cartoons and 'ABBA All-Stars...Audio Credits:Suede - Interview + Indian Strings (Live at Asylum Studios, 1999)Suede MTV Studios, London -VH1 1999 (NB - I was a regular VH1 viewer around this time.
