Name: Giant's Causeway by these weird isles
Duration: 6 min 8 s
Description: Cathy was so obsessed with Led Zeppelin she flew to Belfast, then took a train to Giant's Causeway just so she could lie down in the spot featured on the cover of Zeppelin's album 'Houses of the Holy'. We visit singer Robert Plant's old home and I consider his fascination with the word 'baby' and Lord of the Rings.

These Weird Isles - the second of two podcasts in which I explore Japan - islands as weird as the UK . I discover a space at the centre of the Japanese belief system and reflect on how the Japanese must perceive the British.

Suffolk is a county of clouds, and on the coast, in a holiday chalet in Kessingland, we struggle to remember codes, and are not easily calmed by the decor.

One of a series of songs written during a period of loss.

Fledgling

Bram Stoker passes through a whalebone arch into a time shift, buys an ice cream from a van owned by Stranglers' drummer Jet Black. Sir Henry Irving morphs into Christopher Lee. Monkey Puzzle Trees do something even more astonishing.

Giant's Causeway

Kinder Scout, a mountain plateau in Derbyshire, UK, where, in 1932 a mass trespass drew attention to the cause of the right to roam.

With grim predictability, overdone rocket propellant coffee; as if spasmodic Jacob's Ladder hallucinations are attempting to usurp my body.

@dandouglas's tweets are wordy, complex things. You're never sure where you'll end up. Rather than do something equally complex, I went for a simple drum/bass pattern and plenty of acoustic guitar and vocals. I did it very quickly, and have no idea what it is, or whether it's any good.
