Description
"loves music" is a podcast, hosted by me, Julian Jones, that celebrates music and the moments that made us fall in love with it. It’s for music-lovers who, despite the demands of life, remain passionate about their beloved albums and artists and still seek to discover new talent, whether online, internationally, or within the sweaty crowded bars of your hometown. It’s in us! We don't know why we do it; we just do… and we refuse to grow out of it.
Every Thursday, I interview artists past and present about making music: their inspiration, their challenges, and the moments they will never forget.
If you love or even have a dysfunctional relationship with music, come along, and share this show with someone who loves music.
