The Huey Show - 18/07/2010

Fun Lovin' Criminal Huey Morgan talks to James Mercer from The Shins and uber-producer and one half of Gnarls Barkley Dangermouse about their collaboration, Broken Bells. Mutual fans of each others work and having met in 2004 at a rather messy Roskilde Festival James Mercer and Dangermouse got together in 2008 to create Broken Bells, whose spacy and psychedelic melodic rock on their debut self-titled record is a highlight in both of their already impressive careers. Huey chats to them about making a genuinely collaborative record. Dangermouse's production work including the genuinely trail blazing 'Grey Album' and that night in Copenhagen... This week microphone-shy DJ and remix-artist Jaguar Skills continues his extra special 'Sharing Is Caring' residency through the medium of his 50's voiceover guy. He brings his mixing skills to classics from Al Green and the Isley Brothers. Mark Ronson drops by to talk about his new single and Uncle Mike is back for new feature 'New York Minute' reminiscing with Huey about classic Big Apple nightclubs. There's the usual selection of unusual tunes from Echo & The Bunnymen, The Jam, Gram Parsons, Talking Heads, Alice Clark, Roots Manuva and Bobby Caldwell and Huey puts the needle on the record for a listener in 'Vinyl Fetish'.
