Description
Graham wants to correct some wrong perceptions about indie bands Bar Italia and The Last Dinner Party. Former guest (Episode 153) Rick Witter's band Shed Seven gets its first Number One album and Charles challenges the view that they are not as important as other bands of the same era. Graham confesses that in last week's episode he got a few things wrong about Sofia Coppola's new film Priscilla.  Graham stares back into the abyss of the past to reclaim the miracle of Mr Mick, Stackridge's 1976 cult album and rediscovers how it invented the future.
