Simon Reynolds

Mark Radcliffe presents solo and is joined by writer Simon Reynolds.

Mark Radcliffe presents the show solo, and dons his biggest gold platform heels and blue spandex jumpsuit to welcome writer Simon Reynolds, who's here to talk all things glam rock. Simon's a music writer and journalist, who cut his teeth on music mag Melody Maker in the 80s, and he'll be chatting about the music of the time - Suzu Quatro, Cockney Rebel, Sparks, New York Dolls, The Sweet, Alice Cooper, Marc Bolan and David Bowie - and its influence on more recent music in hip-hop and other artists like Lady Gaga.

PLus YOU, the actual listener, will have the chance to be on the wireless by taking part in the never-ending Chain of conjoined records - or huddle round the office DAB speaker with your choice of afternoon beverage to gain victory in today's Teatime Themetime.
