The Ghost of Electricity: War Stories by Jon McLeary # 184 Matinee Idle
They got me in to play a track and talk about the album and it meant a lot to me. I’ve been listening to Matinee Idle ever since I found out it was on all those years ago – every public holiday in New Zealand in the afternoon. Phil O’Brien and Simon Morris have this […]Archive

The Ghost of Electricity: War Stories by Jon McLeary # 176 The Record Covers
I started buying albums in the 70s and it was a great time for the cover artwork. I have to admit that was part of the attraction for me – those Hipgnosis and Roger Dean images grabbed my imagination. It was an essential aspect to enjoying an album for me. By the time the Spines […]Archive

The Ghost of Electricity: War Stories by Jon McLeary # 175 Epidural
It was John’s idea initially. He’s an old friend and drinking buddy and an excellent sound engineer and musician in his own right. He came to a Spines practice with his laptop and some good mics and tried to record us rehearsing. It was like a dry run. Our time in the practice space is […]Archive
