Show notes

Los Angeles musician Marko DeSantis (Sugarcult) is a rock and roll lifer. Coming up in the Santa Barbara, CA music scene in the mid-90s, he's made hit records, toured the world and knows a LITTLE bit about the music-business angst described in alt-rock-cum-power-pop band Superdrag's second record, the meticulously recorded, universally ignored unsung masterpiece 'Head Trip In Every Key'.

Mr Partridge! Consisting basically of dub remixes/rewrites of tracks originally recorded by Partridge's band XTC - and Co-produced with John Leckie - it's a weirdly confounding, highly experimental slab that challenges at every turn.
