73: My 00s No1 Album - Fred from Spector & Les Incompetents picks albums by The Mars Volta and The Video Nasties
Our series of bonus podcasts continues with Fred Macpherson from Spector and Les Incompetents naming his favourite album of the 00s era. First up, Fred - setting aside the Strokes' first two albums - goes with The Mars Volta's De-Loused in the Comatorium as the best album of the 00s. However, he also gives a shout out to The Video Nasties album On All Fours as the lost indie gem of the era. That got us thinking - what albums from the 00s deserve more love? Pete and Rich make their selections... PLUS! On our full length chat with Fred, he put a plea out to our listeners, asking if anyone had the MP3 of the Max Carlish Megamix he made in the mid-2000s... and the file has been found! Thanks so much to Jamie Graeme who sent it into Fred, who in turn sent it onto us - and you can hear the mash up from the Pete Doherty documentary on this episode! Les Incompetents/Spector fan?
