045 Boy Child: The Best of 1967–1970 (Scott Walker)
Robert Pollard made it easy on himself by just taping one album by Scott. It's a compilation of songs from the first 5 solo albums with lyrics covering diverse subjects such as Ingmar Bergman films, the loneliness of the long-serving sex worker, the 1968 Czechoslovakian uprising against the Soviet Union and fat men that belch a lot.

A touch more Schmilsson on the podcast as we examine his next 2 albums. And who would think this album pair would be well accepted everywhere? It’s quite amazing how fair people can be.

043 Pandemonium Shadow Show / Aerial Ballet (Harry Nilsson)
Before these albums, Harry Nilsson was doing hard day’s nightshifts at the bank as a computer operator. Then he became the man everybody’s talkin’ about with a little Help! from his friends John, Paul, George & Ringo who started dropping his name Here There and Everywhere.

041 Desertshore (Nico) / In The Court Of The Crimson King (King Crimson)
Your hosts the 21st century schizoid men invite you to meet them on the desert shore to hear what they make of Christa Paffgen’s difficult third album and the King Crimson record that may well be to blame for inventing prog rock. Do they have time for such Fripp-ery?
Before his band Guided By Voices set off on their 2001 tour, lead singer Robert Pollard recorded all his favourite 1960s records onto 62 C90 cassettes.
On our podcast we listen to, rate and review every one of them.
