Episode 11: The Road to Nowhere
Written by Finn Turner on January 30, 2017
A candid shot of me in the studio – and yes, I do look like Adrienne Barbeau in The Fog (1980, dir. John Carpenter), how kind of you to notice!
Episode 11 lacks a theme, but makes up for it in quality and quantity. 18 gorgeous antiques and curiosities in less than 50 minutes, all soaked to the bone with vinyl crackle, nocturnal ambiance, and pop sensibility. It’s what our show is all about!
(Note: The show proper begins at around two minutes into the file, so don’t touch that dial!)
Carole King, composer of this show’s namesake, looking shrewd as you please at an RCA Victor recording session in 1959.
