We are GO for Word Up 8 people. And it’s a Manning Up special. We talk about iconic men, we review stuff to do with men, and we even have a man in the studio. And if that’s not enough to tempt you in, here’s a picture of River Phoenix. Click HERE now, and listen up immediately.
Some behind the scenes footage of Staff Benda Bilili rockin’ the Union Chapel last week (including Damon Albarn kissing one of them).
Word Up 7 is ready and waiting for you people. This month, Staff Benda Bilili, John Grant, PJ Harvey, Cornershop, Nostalgia 77, and Great House by Nicole Krauss. All in a lovely, chatty, 30 minute nutshell. Listen here.
“Do not dismiss a book until you have written one, and do not dismiss a movie until you have made one, and do not dismiss a person until you have met them. It is a fuckload of work to be open-minded and generous and understanding and forgiving and accepting, but Christ, that is what matters.”
Dave Eggers (via swisscheeseandbullets)

This month our theme was ‘Sofa So Good’ and was all about staying in, because it’s getting dark early and we’re all old anyhow. We reviewed the latest book club sensation The Help by Kathryn Stockett, the LA band Warpaint and a great new US sitcom Community starring Chevy Chase. Plus the usual impromptu rapping, 90s music nostalgia and an ode to the late great Gregory Isaacs. Listen here
