And don't waste your breath debating music with auld Scotty, Tay Tay and Coldplay float his mouse like boat. He redeems himself by now being a fully paid up accredited “pop crazed youngster” ie a subscriber to the worlds greatest music pod https://www.patreon.com/chartmusic Lots in there for middle aged music fans mate, very mainstream musically though as it’s based on TOTP.

And looking at that top 10, I can guess that's why I hate so much shite commercial music, at least the Tourists were charting here! Edit actually watching all of it, Blondie and The Vapors give me some hope but the rest of it, ffs. Edited February 7 by sammynb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stubbs has been unconvincingly claiming to be the king of soho during 1987. He reckons he was considered to be very intimidating at the time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 49924 Posted Sunday at 08:38 Share Posted Sunday at 08:38 I'm halfway through it. My lass has just walked in, took one look at the telly which was a load of bleeps and bloops and people wandering about at a rave in Japan, given me "the look", and now I'll be watching the rest later. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 36711 Posted Sunday at 08:47 Share Posted Sunday at 08:47 (edited) Not that I’ve ever been to Japan but for any number of reasons, though mainly lack of supply and harsh penalties, their rave and club scene was relatively drug free. At least back in the 90s it was. But they still went mental for hard, fast minimal techno as played by the likes of Robert Hood and Jeff Mills.

The quality (or lack thereof) of the acts on the particular show they’re discussing doesn’t detract from it at all. It’s often better when it’s shit. They talk about loads of other stuff happening at the time of the original broadcast. Not to mention the presenters. Obviously you wouldn’t have the same cultural experience as those of us ‘lucky’ enough to have grown up in the 70s and 80s in the UK but you’d still get a lot out of it imo. And Taylor Parkes and Neil Kulkani (RIP) in particular are superb at just taking about music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Parkes talking about David Lee Roth's version of California Girls, which Simon Bates described as "an update on the Beach Boys original". Parkes: it's an update on the original in the same way that a toilet full of warm shit is an update on steak and chips. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 16444 Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago I clearly need to investigate this podcast at long last but fucking hell, there's so much of it I think I'd need to retrain as an HGV driver or develop even worse insomnia to even make a dent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
