My guest this week is Stephin Merritt
Stephin is a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who has, over the last 35 years, produced some truly remarkable music; in particular, he was the man behind what is, in my estimation, one of the greatest albums of the 20th century, 69 Love Songs.
He has also recorded soundtracks under his own name, as well as producing music as the 6ths, the Gothic Archies and Future Bible Heroes.
N.B. There's no YouTube version of this episode, unfortunately - one of the tracks is 'globally blocked'.
