Passport to #LaLaLand

Right now, we all want a ticket to La-la Land. In fact we all want a ticket to just about anywhere. The expression La-La land seems to date back to 1979 when people used it to mean a mystical, whimsical place inspired by la la refrains used in songs.

It then became shorthand for Los Angeles and the dream world created by the magic of celluloid there before becoming the name of a blockbuster movie in 2016. Jazz pianist Ryan Gosling and aspiring actress Emma Stone realise their dreams of stardom in La La Land.

The rest of us secretly wish that we had a place like that where we can forget our worries, dream of better days and join in the chorus of la las. Blue skies and clandy floss skies. This is your passport to a paradise lost..

Choice Cuts

Today is a show about choices and decisions – that split‑second when the world holds its breath and you realise the next move is yours. On The Whole Nine Yards this week we explore the crossroads, the tiny pivots, the wild leaps, the quiet Oks and the loud forget-its that shape who we become. Every track is a turning point, every story a fork in the road, every moment an invitation to choose again.

Hour One is The Crossroads Hour about the wrong trains we board anyway, the hearts we give away, the futures we gamble on. The choices come fast – impulsive, hopeful, sometimes reckless – the kind that change you before you’ve even caught your breath.

Hour Two is The Consequences Hour, the dust has settled and the questions deepen. What do we carry from the decisions we made in the dark. Reminders that every yes, every no, every maybe shapes the person we become. This is the soundtrack of choosing, losing, learning, and beginning again.

Hour One

The Moody Blues – Question (A Question of Balance 1970)

The Fray –  All at Once (How to Save a Life 2006)

All Things Must Pass

The passing of time could be a worrying process – but it’s not because ageing has never worried all those Peter Pans in the Pop business. They sneer at the aging process – think ‘My Generation’ by The Who and they treat it as a joke – as in ‘When I’m 64’ by The Beatles written by McCartney when he was 15. Sometimes the tone becomes more philosophical as with that other Beatle writer, George Harrison and ‘All Things Must Pass’. And then there is ‘Puff the Magic Dragon’ by Peter, Paul and Mary – a song about the loss of childhood innocence or was it a subversive  drugs anthem? This week the clock may be ticking but these songs are pictures in attic.

Even Atheists Pray

Prayer and contemporary music have always shared the same emotions: a voice reaching outward, upward, or inward, trying to make sense of the world. Strip away the ritual and what remains is the universal act of asking: for clarity, for comfort, for courage, for connection. Modern songwriters do this constantly. A whispered plea, a midnight confession, or a quiet hope set to melody. In this sense, the pop charts and the pews aren’t strangers at all; they’re simply two private places where people practise the same ancient desire to speak their hearts into the dark and wait for an answer.

My Favourite Squeezes

The accordion is an instrument you might think you already know. Think again. The squeezebox has travelled through centuries, across borders, through cafés, carnivals, protest marches and back‑street bars, and yet it still plays on.

You’ll hear it lift indie anthems, ground folk ballads, and weave through electronic textures where it simply shouldn’t sound this good. It adds breath to circuit boards, adventure to minimalism, and an old voice to machine-made music. It reminds us that music is still made by air moving through reeds.
