Acclaimed singer/songwriter John Grant joins Mary Anne for a second day to discuss his life, his inspiration and his new album 'Grey Tickles, Black Pressure'

With title of the new record "taking a literal translation of the Icelandic for 'Mid-life Crisis' and a direct translation of the Turkish for 'Nightmare'" , John continues his exploration of his own life and his relationship to the world, which he discusses with Mary Anne using the same caustic wit and profound observation that he applies to his lyrics.
