The Sound of Style: 1973-1980
Stuart Maconie presents solo and is joined by writers Martyn Waites and Mark Billingham, who chat about their book Great Lost Albums.
We celebrate the launch of The Sound of Style season, a collaboration between 大象传媒 Four and 6 Music looking at the love affair and inextricably linked relationship between fashion and music since the 1960s.
Episode two of 大象传媒 Four's three-part series, Oh You Pretty Things, airs tonight at 9pm. It is narrated by Lauren Laverne and each episode is sound-tracked by a 6 Music presenter, bringing their music expertise to showcase the social history, sounds and looks of the period. Stuart Maconie has sound-tracked episode two, which looks at the 1970s. Across the day, 6 Music shows will be styling their music and chat around the 70s, playing the tracks Stuart selected - plus other gems from that decade - and hearing from Stuart about his music choices.
Stuart said, "Compiling the soundtrack for this episode was great fun and indulged some of my passions like glam, prog and punk. I hope it triggers some great memories and really evokes that time for those who tune in."
On each Wednesday the series airs, 6 Music will be playing music across the shows reflecting the years covered in that evening's programme, so today will be styling their music and chat around the 1970s.
Stuart Maconie presents the show solo today and welcomes writers Martyn Waites and Mark Billingham, who will be chatting about their book, Great Lost Albums. They might mention stories such as Bob Dylan's legendary collaboration with Liberace or perhaps The Who's magisterial, abandoned rock opera, Bingo Wizard. Billingham is best known for his novels and is a former actor and comedian, whilst Waites has done everything from stand-up to teaching drama to young offenders, and has settled on a writing career (for now).
