When Kaki King went into the studio in upstate New York to record the tracks for her fourth album, Dreaming Of Revenge, her producer, Malcolm Burn, had one condition: "He said, 'If someone can't be sawing a log in half and whistling along to the song, I don't want it on the record,'" King recalls with a laugh.

What can we say about Orson Welles? Citizen Kane has topped innumerable lists of the best films of all time; "every filmmaker since 1941 is, to some degree, in debt to Orson Welles," Peter Bogdanovich asserted, and many others would agree.
