Big Characters we have loved and why the Clash wouldn’t last ten minutes in 2024
We’ve applied our celebrated sheep/goats separation technique to the rock and roll pasture and shepherded the following into this week’s pod …
… Beyoncé and why it’s hard to connect with songs written by committee.
… are we too old for biopics?
… Marvel films, the Arctic Monkeys and other things you either love or avoid.
… reviewing Human Touch and Lucky Town in a high-security studio (and how you can only tell if an album’s any good if you’ve lived with it for two months).
… why Tony Blackburn is the greatest British DJ.
… “Bing was no more Bing than Sinatra was Sinatra”.
… hoary old tales that were the engine of the rock press - the Clash shooting pigeons, Kevin Rowland stealing his own master-tapes, Cliff v Elvis, Beatles v Stones, Hendrix v Clapton, Bowie v Bolan, Clash v the Pistols, Spandau v Duran, Oasis v Blur.
… are Oasis songs mostly about being Oasis?
… “fame is no longer enacted in the public space”.
… indie cliches – escaping the drudgery of the Man and mundanity of Small Town life.
… “the harder I practice, the luckier I get”.
… Scots punk act get movie soundtrack windfall!
… Alex is arranging a woke stag do - “you go to places where ladies put clothes ON”.
… plus birthday guest Andrew Newbury wonders if Country is more than “the three Ds - driving, dogs and divorce”.
