Starts with a bang!

Episode 17 and no Jeff this week as he’s off on another holiday (!!?) – “Treats this podcast like a hotel, that one!” – so, our good friend DJ Mark Cooper steps in to fill the void.

We start the show with a right screeching racket – a track from a classic, influential album with a naughty name – and then get all funky, dancey, spacey, poppy and gothy with a few other flavours thrown in (listen out for the tracks by bands with really great names).

Co-incidentally two bands from Bristol (Richy’s home town) this week, one from ages ago and one from right now.

Jeff “phones in” a piece of melancholy pop for a kind-of randomiser round – it probably could have done with him being here to defend it.

Mark claims the crown for “Richy’s most hated song ever played on the show”. – displacing Laibach’s “The Whisperers” from the throne.

We talk about cover versions – come on UK, The Pet Shop Boys? Seriously!? – a great gig we went to, Krautrock and loads of other stuff.

* There’s some annoying interference from the laptop at points during the show. It’s not too bad, but apologies anyway. We’ll try and sort it for next time.

Thanks as always listening!

And we’re back!

It’s been 4 weeks since our last podcast and in this episode we explain why. We think it’s a pretty good excuse and it gives us a good reason to play a classic 80s number anyway.

Jeff chooses a 70’s electronic rock sequel/homage to a Bowie classic for his old track and a groany old man for his new track. Rich goes for pseudo-classical cinematic goth as his old choice and (surprise, surprise) a bang-up-to-date-out-this-week electronica “choon!” for his new track.

No Randomizer round this show, but Jeff’s (failed) attempt to persuade Richy of the merits of a particular 60s pop chantreuse leads to a track they both agree is an absolute gem.

Plus: Richy reports back from seeing Underworld live and thanks his lucky stars for the lineup of bands that he’s seen over the last few months, he reviews a great British music movie, we discuss the gentrification of Techno, have the classic discussion about “Hallelujah”, and decide that life is indeed “Amazing.”

Oh! And Richy gets his Stone Roses and Charlatans mixed up – unforgivable!!

Anyway – we’re back on schedule, see you in a couple of weeks.

Thanks as always listening!
