The First Time With…
An hour of chat and music with the Greatest Living Scotsman, recorded off 6 Music yesterday.
Matt Everitt spoke to King Boy D about his musical life and played some suitable records along the way. Anyone who’s read Bill’s books or seen any of his recent(ish) talky shows will be familiar with most of the tales here, but I could listen to him read a shopping list and still dig it – he’s got a unique ability to make ANYTHING sound interesting; his latest book features in depth analysis of different bird species and thoughts on evolution of fish in Scottish lakes (which I found fascinating).
The inevitable question of the million quid rears its head in the second half, but the subject gets dealt with fairly painlessly (they definitely did it – of course they did).
It’s split into pre-KLF before the news (edited out) and KLF-beyond afterwards, culminating in some banter about all “The 17″ carry on from a couple of years ago.
Well worth an hour of anyone’s time…
