Music, chat and Courtney Barnett

Mark and Stuart present a feast of top tunes and singer-songwriter Courtney Barnett shares her ‘First, Last and Everything’ and chats about her latest music

Mark and Stuart present a feast of great music and chat for weekend breakfast.

Today they are joined by Australian singer, songwriter and musician Courtney Barnett who shares her ‘First, Last and Everything’ - that’s her first record, the most recent one she's enjoyed and the record that means ‘everything’ to her.

Courtney released her debut album 'Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit' in 2015. Over the last decade she has released solo albums as well as a collaborative album with Kurt Vile, and an instrumental record 'End Of The Day', that was originally composed as the film score for the 2021 biographical documentary 'Anonymous Club'. Her most recent release - the single ‘Stay In Your Lane’ - is her first new material since 2023. As well as sharing her musical memories, Courntey talks to Mark and Stuart about her latest music.

Also on the show... long-running feature ‘The Chain’ which gives listeners the chance to pick a track that links in some way to the last. The list now contains over 8700 songs.

With a selection of music old and new to get the weekend started.
