Great chat this week with the hilariously funny, self-deprecating and super down to earth Ellen Reid from Crash Test Dummies.

Talking ahead of the 30th Anniversary of the bands landmark album God Shuffled His Feet, which contains the iconic track Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm and Afternoons and Coffee Spoons. Ellen talks about how she uses Benny Hill as a seduction technique, not meeting Kevin Costner, being a "not very good" keyboard player, as well as picking 6 fantastic tracks for her Mixtape.
