Analogue Slop is where two music industry lifers revisit the music press of their youth, which in our case is the nineties, and for Season 1 is the NME and Melody Maker..
Every week we explore artists we discovered as wide-eyed teenagers only to disown as sneering twenty somethings.
Now, unshackled from hipster baggage, we dive deep into how music and the people who make it were served up before... more
