Joe Talbot (Idles) • Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #341

<p><strong>Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!</strong></p><p>Joining Pip at long last this week is JOE TALBOT of IDLES!</p><p><br></p><p>A very in-depth, therapeutic and cathartic chat for you this episode (actually - lemme get this out the way up top - it’s a LITTLE sweary so don’t play in front of the young’uns perhaps), as Pip and Joe get all the way into everything. Of course the mandatory ‘present times’ talk is addressed and lifted at the front, to then reveal the creepy crawlies and seething underbelly of the world and greater universe beneath. But the chat accesses some very important and intriguing places which need addressing, including thanks and blessings, after effects of worldwide trauma, conspiracies (theories and otherwise), the state of the nation and the ripples created, politics through music, personal trauma and exorcising its demons (or working with them), and of course MUSIC! Some great talk about Idles’ new album ‘Ultramono’, and the influences of genres like hip hop on its production (nice talk for the nerds - I speak for myself in that!). GET YOU SOME.</p><p><br></p><p><strong><em>EPISODE LINKS:</em></strong></p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/LouSanders" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>IDLES on TWITTER</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://www.idlesband.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>IDLES online</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYGtGcJ8rKw" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>A HYMN video</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/books/2013/jan/27/examined-life-stephen-grosz-review" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>The Examined Life</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://crackmagazine.net/article/long-reads/jehnny-beth-in-conversation-with-joe-talbot-grit-pain-love/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Jehhny Beth &amp; Joe Talbot in Crack Magazine</strong></a></p><p><br></p><p><strong><em>LINKS FOR SCROOBIUS PIP &amp; S
