Episode description

Adam talks with British musician and artist John Foxx, about a few of the pioneers of electronic music, forming the band Ultravox!, working with legendary producers Brian Eno (Bowie, Talking Heads, U2, Coldplay, etc.) and Conny Plank (Kraftwerk, NEU! Cluster, Harmonia, etc.), the relationship between art, music and comedy, his encounters with Keith Richards and performance artist Leigh Bowery, what he and Fall frontman Mark E Smith would talk about on their drinking sessions together and how his parents didn't screw him up.
