S8E401 - Pink Floyd 'Animals' with James Cook
That Record Got Me High Podcast
Pink Floyd's 'Animals', a lyrically dark, musically dense concept album loosely based on George Orwell's 'Animal Farm', is as eerily precient today as it was when first released in 1977.

Songs discussed in this episode: Pigs On The Wing (Pink Floyd Cover) - Chrome; Waiting For The Moon, Really Hard To Find - Captain's Audio Project; Breathe (In The Air) - Pink Floyd; Rise Above - Black Flag; Pigs On The...

S8E397 - Late Of The Pier 'Fantasy Black Channel' with Josh Mackenzie
That Record Got Me High Podcast
