If you love strong language and adult content, good news.

I aim to cram as much of that into this episode as possible.

If there's not much and you're disappointed, sorry, I tried my best.

Hello, my name is James Acaster, and in 2017 I had a breakdown.

I dealt with that breakdown by buying as much music from 2016 as I possibly could.

As a result, I now own over 600 albums that came out in 2016,

and I'm convinced it's the greatest year for music of all time.

But it's not enough me being convinced.

I also want to convince each and every single one of you.

Plus a guest every single week.

I'm going to send them an album in advance.

They're going to come on and talk to me about that album.

This week, my guest is Susie Ruffle.

And the album we're talking about is Canarium by

Elizabeth Bouchuse is a Latvian musician, referred to often as a one-woman orchestra.

A lot of this music was made on her laptop, but also with live instrumentations.

She's a classically trained floor-tist, no less.

Also, she wrote this album in her sleep.

Every single song is based around a dream that she had.

She's very good at being engaged with and remembering her dreams.

Susie Ruffle Herfell is one of my favourite comedians.
