We didn’t explain the Hard Skin/Joanna Newsom connection that we said we would on the show. We received a call at the station while playing this track from Hard Skins Fat Bob asking us ‘for the sake of his marriage’ not to mention on air the truth behind this track. Instead, here’s the brilliant Joanna Newsom in more familiar musical territory:
