FULL VERSION 35 Mins now online. Apologies:

It's a real clash of the titans this week in the Classic Albums studio - two totally gaga doyens of the homemade masterpiece and two dubious northern reviewers stroking their chins over them. So, will the honking, skronking pot-and-pans of Tom Waits get a thumbs up from Gary and will Stephen warm to the romantic fantasies of Kate Bush? Just fix yourself a sandwich, get into some loose-fitting trousers, and find out.

Apologies to our devoted listeners and bloggers. The file I posted last week seems to have been corrupted in some way as some of you complained. Thanks for spotting it. This new'un is just the mustard. Please download/overwrite, relisten etc.

Two sides of the same coin this show: sunshine-spangled, country-flecked, guitar pop from the venerable indie kids Teenage Fanclub and odd clankings and backroad melodies from the strange and beautiful Jim White. We bring you the top 5 songs about Autumn (well, we try - well, one of us tries!) and discuss the oddest records in our already odd collection. All you have to do is get comfy and enjoy.
