Tiggerlion joins Twang in the pod, seizes the microphone and subjects the podmaster to a barrage of questions. Much laughter ensues and Tig denies we all have a little emo in us.

Musings on the byways of popular culture
pencilsqueezer says
I’m tempted to start a book on how long it takes before Tull gets mentioned. Around 34 minutes in I reckon.
Twang says
Only in passing P. You got a mention too!
pencilsqueezer says
Great Scott!
pencilsqueezer says
46 minutes 29 seconds before da Tull gets a mention.
I was beginning to properly fret…
Tiggerlion says
You should give the nice, comfy, warm seat ago. I think you’d be a fascinating listen. I promise you can have an easy, relaxed, professional host not the rank amateur Twang had to put with. 😉
pencilsqueezer says
I think everyone can very happily do without more of me in their lives. I thought you made a fine interviewer. It was a splendid listen. Were you wearing kid gloves?
Tiggerlion says
I tried to be gentle.
Anyway, you are wrong. I think a lot of us would enjoy a Pencilcast.
fentonsteve says
Vote Pencil!
Twang says
There was a very good 121 with Pencil of course, a great pleasure to do.
pencilsqueezer says
I remember this it was like being deftly stroked by Russell Harty. 🤔
fitterstoke says
Oooh-errr!
Tiggerlion says
Wow!
Five years. seems like yesterday
fentonsteve says
Five years somehow seems like last year to me. Possibly because I’m coming up to four years of WFH.
Moose the Mooche says
The end of that description is very disturbing, especially for Mr Philips.
Tiggerlion says
I must apologise. At one point, I think I refer to Richie Haywood as “Ken”.
Here’s an interesting article on the New Orleans “second line” rhythm:

Twang says
Great article. That Chocolate Milk album was new to me and is a belter.
fitterstoke says
Just caught the podcast – a superb listen! Also slightly startling to find that the mighty Tull might be the only band we have in common, @Twang…
Twang says
Tip of the iceberg old son.
fitterstoke says
Aye, true enough…
Tiggerlion says
Twang’s office, soundtracked by Twang himself.
!!!Warning: contains explicit guitar porn!!!
Twang says
I wouldn’t want anyone to think that’s all my guitars….
fitterstoke says
Phwoooaaarr!
pawsforthought says
Great podcast as always. Quick question Twang- if you grew up and were in bands around Macclesfield did you ever come across Stephen Morris or Ian Curtis? Would have been about the same age (I’m guessing).
Moose the Mooche says
Here are the young men with gloves on their fingers
Twang says
Thanks Paws. I was at school with Steve Morris so I knew him quite well and even jammed with him once or twice in various scout hut aimless sessions. If you’ve read his book, Phill Swindells, who he talks about, was the drummer in my band.
Ian I didn’t know but my sister knew him pretty well.
I remember Steve telling a few of us that he was off to audition for a punk band which we all thought was hilarious since he was a Hawkwind/Can type guy till then. Oh how we laughed.
Tiggerlion says
Recollections of Knebworth 1976:

Twang says
And here are the Skynyrd!
retropath2 says
Considering how many of us were there, how come no one suggested a mingle?
pencilsqueezer says
Too stoned.
Moose the Mooche says
Like medjool dates.
Tiggerlion says
I misread that as Med School dates. I preferred Dentists. A lot more fun.
Moose the Mooche says
Drugs, mouth action, drilling and filling…
Tiggerlion says
What’s not to like…?
Tiggerlion says
A Cajun wedding march especially for @Kaisfatdad

Kaisfatdad says
Splendid stuff @Tiggerlion. Thanks a lot. You spoil me rotten!
I don’t know who these people are, but they make a very agreeable sound.
Black Celebration says
Just finally gave this a listen while giving the kitchen a deep clean. I find it endlessly fascinating to hear people talk about music and what made them get into certain acts in particular.
This was a really good listen. Thanks! And the kitchen looks lovely,
Twang says
Glad you had something useful to do while I was droning on!
Vince Black says
Just listened to this. It was decidedly odd hearing the subject speaking with the regular interlocutor’s voice! Nice to hear Twang’s own story.
Twang says
Ta Vince!
Blue Boy says
Terrific stuff, both of you. Good to hear the tables turned on @twang. some fine choices of music too.
Twang says
Cheers BB!
