Steve's Mix Tapes #018 (Tommy Mackay)

My guest mixer this week is Tommy Mackay

Tommy is an author, comedian and musician. He’s also the man behind the website Daily Reckless (the Bandcamp page is here; there's also a full discography here). The song I use in the intro to this episode is Totally Weird.

As well as a shared love of Beefheart and Ivor Cutler, Tommy and I have something notable in common: we both wrote blogs about The Fall that became books. You can buy Tommy's tome here (and of course you can buy mine here).

Given all this commonality, it's not surprising that we got on very well and had a most enjoyable chat about music and several other things...
