For this the 28th instalment of the Threadwork podcast I return to a theme from a while back - names. I did a Women’s Names episode for the fifteenth episode and nearly the same amount of episodes later I tackle men’s names. I mention this in the intro but there are a few songs with a strong and definable narrative to them (read: story songs) in the opening section of the podcast and I was surprised at how many of these types of records made it to the long-list. In fact there was a version of the episode that had really quite a few of them but I switched it up a bit because I like to have lots of different types of pieces of music in an instalment. But it was interesting to see how many ‘story songs’ there were - maybe because they are centred around real or composites of people. After all, if you’re titling your music with a ‘real’ name then it’s not a leap to suggest you have someone in mind when doing so.
Either way, I’m really pleased with how the episode turned out and hopefully you’ll dig it too. Until next time…
Cheers,
R
