PAUL MORLEY Sits In


Paul Morley sits in. He follows Jarvis's instructions to play his favourite songs by his favourite musicians: artists he wishes were in the Top 10 instead of Lady Gaga. His themes include pop music that psychs you up, songs about witches and spooking, his favourite female vocalists and great husband and wife duos. He also muses on whether music about music is a certain form of criticism; and on how odd it is that fairly obscure bands can now, thanks to the internet, get such a vast amount of critical coverage.
