Dear Smersher,
If, like me, you were an indie-kid in the early 1990s, you doubtless had this album, or at least were aware of the singles "Ten Years Asleep" or "Queen Jane".
In 1993 I was 16 years old, and firmly ensconced in an art college. I had two bands that I loved more than others; Suede, and Kingmaker. Sleepwalking was an album that was always in my bag, and rarely out of my Walkman.
On Thursday night I will be catching up with John Andrew and Myles Howell to chat about the album, and how they feel about it THIRTY YEARS ON.
Yes, I am aware I am basically making a show for ME and ME ALONE, but it's something new I may be trying out for Patreon - chatting to musical heroes for the 90s.
If you have any questions you'd like to ask the lovely chaps, please list below!
Hope you're all well,
John.

I don’t have any specific questions but would definitely support this side-project! Those years between Baggy and Britpop are my favourite period for British indie music. I would add the Auteurs to that list of bands - I would be curious to know what Luke Haines’ favourite Carry On film is.

Love this album. Saw them at Manchester Polytechnic on the tour they did for the Armchair Anarchist single supported by some relatively unknown band called Radiohead - whatever happened to them, eh?
