Music and Storytelling featuring crime novelist, Sarah Bailey

Vinyl Maelstrom

Short stories in songs and music in stories. An episode of two halves, which coincidentally is the name of one of the tracks mentioned.
In the first half, I choose ten of my favourite "short story songs" - tracks which form a more or less complete narrative. To give you a flavour, I also read out some sample lyrics from each. Those songs (in chronological order) are:
1. Ode to Billie Joe, Bobbie Gentry
2. Cat's in the cradle, Harry Chapin
3. Up the Junction, Squeeze
4. Winter, The Fall
5. Regulate, Warren G with Nate Dogg
6. The First Big Weekend, The Arab Strap
7. The Fall of the Star High School Running Back, The Mountain Goats
8. Funeral, Phoebe Bridgers
9. Two Halves, Richard Dawson
10. Quarry, Wednesday
And here's a link to the Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6Zimdc9wgQueQ7vvgfDmwm?si=b331eea854594966
Then in the second half, a discussion on music in books, drama and even ads with the brilliant award-winning Melbourne crime novelist, Sarah Bailey.
Be expertly briefed each week on a wide variety of intriguing musical topics.
