Music 101 for Saturday 17 December 2011

2 - 3pm

Smashing Pumpkins
It's 20 years since Chicago band Smashing Pumpkins (pictured right) released their debut, Gish. Its layers of fuzzed out guitar, dreamy soundscapes, and melodrama were not an instant hit - it took 1993's Siamese Dream to make Billy Corgan, D'arcy Wretzky, James Iha and Jimmy Chamberlain heroes of the teenage population of the 90s. Both albums have just been re-released - Billy Corgan talks about the old days.

The Sampler: The Best of the Internationals 2011
Nick Bollinger tells us about some of the overseas albums that tickled his cochleae this year. Click here for Nick's local picks.

Jarvis Cocker
The lead singer and songwriter of influential Brit-pop band Pulp writes songs full of awkward, lusty moments, with keen cultural and social commentary along the way. His lyrics have just been published in book form, to stand naked without music, for all the world to see. Jarvis Cocker talks about his lyrical habits.

3 - 4pm

King Kapisi
Borderline compulsive collector and prolific musician King Kapisi shows us round his Overstayer HQ from which songs, magazines, a clothing-line, television programmes and music videos all pour forth.
