We’re back! After a busy period of new jobs, new musical projects and new strains of Covid, we reconnect and rejoin the dots between two more of our favourite tracks. In this episode, we pay tribute to the late, great MF Doom, the metal-faced enigma we lost on Halloween 2020. But what connects the supervillain to ‘70s funk supremos the Ohio Players? What’s Cole Porter got to do with Giorgio Moroder? And where does an Anglo-Trakehner stallion fit into all this? Get your Gazzillion Ears round episode 8 to find out.
