I’d agree with that except I think the Buggles song was a fitting anthem for the end of the era from the late 50s to 79- and the 80s started on 24 May 1979 when ‘Are Friends Electric’ was first performed on TOTP […]

Loads of valid arguments for/against but sitting at home all day is not for me. I like the hybrid version and the lack of rigid start/end times. Currently 3/5 in the office. I tend to pick up some early emails and […]

You don’t need 24bit unless he’s a budding Steven Wilson intent on recording everything he does in pristine audiophile quality from the get go. Both those interfaces will do fine Leeds. Behringer used to be a bit […]

Hooky’s band are great – currently featuring (sometime Smashing Pumpkin) Hook Junior on 2nd bass (his dad famously can’t sing and play at the same time) and David Potts from Hooky’s other band Monaco on guitar and […]

They’re the new Cud, but not as Gud.

Yeah almost bad as that band from Liverpool with the silly haircuts and the wonky music – what were they called again ? (And yes I know the Afterword answer is Haaaaa fwaaa fnaar FLOCK OF SEAGULLS…GUFFAW)

When I was doing my own podcasts I just paid a monthly fee to a company who hosted the stream and created a Feed which gets picked up in iTunes and any other Podcast App that aggregates RSS feeds. Like most people […]

Fopp doesn’t really exist. I don’t know if, legally speaking, it is a separate entity from HMV but in terms of what is in stock the remaining Fopp stores are just HMV shops with a different logo over the door […]

I suspect the CD version is already manufactured and ready to sell so kind of annoying I have to wait for the inevitably delayed Vinyl version before I get my box set – but nevertheless I’m looking forward to […]

Gary Kemp is very smart and erudite – but I suspect the Podcats wouldn’t exist without his shouty, overbearing bass player mate. Two interviewers doesn’t really work on Zoom as Hepworth & Ellen prove every week by […]

Well I don’t know how the pandemic affected you Dave but I’ve certainly not been short of time to listen to Podcasts since March 2020

Did you know he worked with Tina Turner 😉

Oh man – bless him he seems a nice guy but that “bands have a five year narrative” NO THEY DON’T! ARRGGHH!! – the other one is “There’s alls these documentaries now about the Wedding Present for instance”…no […]

They were just guests on Word In Your Ear – and have been going for 10 years. Not sure if they’ve had any success as songwriters in their own right – seems rather rude to ask and sure enough Mark & Dave didn’t […]

There are some 80s popsters here and I’ll definitely check out your Podcast. Most of my favourites have been mentioned here I see – lots of love for The Giddy Carousel of Pop (and not just because I’ve been […]

Back to the original OP – If Sainsbury wants to stop selling CDs and DVDs that’s fine by me. Get out of the vinyl market too – There is still a big market for music on physical formats so let HMV and our […]

My last pre-Covid gig was a band from Glasgow called Spinning Coin on 14 March 2020 nothing remarkable just a regular gig in my pre-covid avid gig-going life which has since been on hold. I have seen a gig since […]

Not a matter of ethics in my workplace it’s a matter of whether people can afford superfast broadband which an awful lot of people […]

I think music, art and culture has slowed down massively during my ‘watch’ while technology, climate change and politics have gone fucking mental. Watched some the 1998 Glastonbury and struck me that guitar music […]

Suffice to say, Toyah can’t believe her luck with Covid-19 and can’t fault her ability with a captive audience with literally nowhere to go.

I listened to her on the Rockonteurs Podcast that Gary Kemp and Guy […]
