30 Years Asleep

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.
