I suspect not many people had taking part in a global pandemic on their 2020 bingo card, yet we all did it! On this weeks episode of The Inner Sleeve we talk about how Covid affected, and is still affecting, the music industry. The world changed quickly and in a dramatic way for many of us. But amongst the angst, the sadness, the frustration, and the incompetence of politicians, there was also some great creative output. We explore all of this and more in this weeks episode.---------We hope you're enjoying the podcast, please do hit subscribe and tell your friends if you do!

Albums that SAVED us...
Sometimes an album just lands at EXACTLY the right time in your life. Maybe you didn’t know you needed it, but you REALLY did. Perhaps you knew you needed something, and there it was.There are perfect albums, and then there are albums that are perfect for particular moments. We discuss all of this and more in this weeks episode of The Inner Sleeve podcast, by Lights And Lines.---------We hope you're enjoying the podcast, please do hit subscribe and tell your friends if you do!

Bag with no handles... the Spotify outtakes
Not every recording session stays completely on topic. In fact our good friend and co-host GRIM17 spends quite a bit of time editing hours of recordings down into manageable 20-30 minute chunks for you to indulge in. Every now and then we save some of the offcuts that are interesting, funny, or entertaining and puts a little bonus episode together. Bag with no handles is exactly that, although in this instance it's all outtakes from last weeks Spotify episode! It's semi-related, but tangents a bit. Anyway, we hope you enjoy it!---------We hope you're enjoying the podcast, please do hit subscribe and tell your friends if you do!

Time to give up SPOTIFY?
With recent news that Spotify owner Daniel Ek has invested some of his vast personal fortune into the weapons industry we thought it was time to discuss Spotify. How can independent musicians balance making an ethical and moral stance against this behaviour - by say boycotting the platform - with getting their voices heard - voices that could be put to use raising awareness of exactly these kinds of issues. It’s small fish in a big pond syndrome and we discuss it from a number of angles. And no, there isn’t a right answer on this one.

Bigger, Longer, Uncut...
Last week we spoke about Music in Film and TV. We actually spoke a LOT about it when we recorded the episode, and as it's quite a popular topic we thought we'd release some of the rest of the conversation as a bonus episode too. Topics range from biopics and Aladdin, to Wild Wild West and of course the South Park movie.
