The Cool Greenhouse – meet Tom Greenhouse - a podcast by Richard and Tobin: Self confessed music addicts

The Cool Greenhouse is very much our enigmatic bedroom project this week. It's a double dose of obtuse lyrics and minimalism. Listen on to the delightful repetition and simplicity. It's a heady mix and one that is infectious and rewarding, you'll never be quite the same again. We've got political and social commentary with the beautiful alteration of Joe Purdy's emotive and reflective Cairo Walls. Our Listener Recommendation this week comes from a gentleman who has already aired on the show. Yes, it's Fraser from Bolton again with more social commentary from The Humdrum Express. Guru provides us with an opportunity to spin some vinyl in the studio this week. Tobin hits us with the dance classic by Suzy Q and of course our bookend artist this week. Emma Elisabeth opens and closes the show for us.

Firstly, the electronic simplicity and repetition threatens to ditch listeners with a short attention span within seconds. But wait… there's more here than that. With tons of miniature soundbites all craving your attention day after day I can see why people would leave this. However, when repetition and irony are this good then we can take it for hours. It's all getting withered down to cope with our lack of attention. For instance, Tobin revealed recently on the show that music is no being structured for Instagram listeners. Songs are now being crammed into only sixty seconds. Secondly, Tom's obvious adoration of Mark E Smith shines through here.
