aldous harding

On this week's show, we wrap up the merry month of Debts-cember (and the year in general) with...

• the most honorable of mentions
• the runners-up that fill our cup
• the best of the rest of 2022 

All this & much, much less! 

Debts No Honest Man Can Pay is over 2 rock-solid hours of musical eclectica & other noodle stories. The show started in 2003 at WHFR-FM (Dearborn, MI), moved to WGWG-FM (Boiling Springs, NC) in 2006 & Plaza Midwood Community Radio (Charlotte, NC) in 2012, with a brief pit-stop at WLFM-FM (Appleton, WI) in 2004.

On this week's show, we...

• celebrate 20 years of American aquarium drinkers assassin-ing down the avenue with Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
• spend quality time with new records from Kurt Vile & Aldous Harding 
• spin fresh tracks from Neko Case & Laura Veirs

All this & much, much less!

Aldous Harding is one of the most compelling voices of our time. Across three albums she has shapeshifted in every song, her voice bends and changes almost like stepping into a different character, with each story.

Aldous is a spellbinding human in person too; on stage and in other interviews I’ve read and seen. But I learned more about her from this Take 5 than I ever have before. These songs reveal a lot about Aldous, as a performer, as a songwriter, and as an artist. This is one of those conversations where I could frame just about everything she said. From El Perro Del Mar to Nina Simone, this is the voice.

God Knows (You Gotta Give To Get) - El perro del mar

Stars (Live At Casino Montreux, 3rd July 1976)- Nina Simone

Diana - Alexander ‘Skip’ Spence

Houses - Elyse Weinberg

Janitor - Suburban Lawns

On this week's show, we...

• spend quality time with new records from Cody Jinks & Sarah Borges
• spin fresh tracks from Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, Kamasi Washington & Lucy Dacus 
• bid adieu to flamboyant funk diva Betty Davis & Detroit garage rock goddess Rachel Nagy

All this & much, much less!

Back once again to speak utter nonsense about music, Daniel Sargent & Paul Waller discuss the hot topics of the day & the smashing new albums that are penetrating their weak minds. Will they return in a decent time for the next episode.

Probably.

On this week's show, we...

• spend quality time with new records from the Goon Sax & the Flatlanders
• wonder no more what Jason Isbell covering Metallica would sound like 
• spin new songs from Courtney Barnett, Pokey LaFarge & Rock Hill's own Courtney Lynn & Quinn 

All this & much, much less!
