Oh, I assumed he meant Stubbs & Parkes.

I hated EuroBeat at the time, but it definitely beats the hell out of say Weatherhall’s stuff in 95. The production value that made me want to gag then does have a melancholy feel for total froth, Taylor wasn’t just yapping away. I really have to go on the YouTube channel for this ep. And then going on an N-JOI binge.Last edited by Lang Spoon; 22-03-2018, 21:10.

1995 means almost nothing to me. I didn't follow music much those days and didn't really like much of Brit Pop. Nor do I have a huge academic interest in mid-90s pop. So this is one episode I am nit itching to lisren to (though listen to it I will).
Next episode will be set in the summer of 1985, Simon Price has revealed on Facebook. They'll be discussing Opus! Now, that I am burning to hear!

I too thought that was a ridiculous title, but somebody got mad at me for mocking it. Perhaps on this board. I can't recall exactly.
What's a "rockery?"

Originally posted by Walt Flanagans Dog View PostHaven't listened to it yet so I'm only guessing the context, but a rockery usually refers to a part of your garden (yard) where you make a feature out of a patch of large stones / small rocks, maybe with some plants (heathers or similar) growing between and around them.
I think we'd call that a "rock garden" or "hardscaping."

Originally posted by Hot Pepsi View PostThe early 90s were a good era for that kind of thing and for sample-heavy dance-able hip-hop, but looking at this list, apparently that had already ended by 95. As I recall, the Arsenio Hall show and Living Color were a big part of that. YouTube has a lot of great stuff from that show like this, but that was all over by 95. IIRC, 95 was the year Eazy E died and NWA were long gone by then. 2pac died in 1996. I'm not a hip-hop or rap connoisseur, but I don't think the late 90s were a great era for it, at least not in terms of stuff that would have made the main charts.

The episode two weeks after the 11.5.95 one in CM21 was presented by Lee and Herring:

Yes, they are the dream team for 1985: critical but not too negative, whereas Taylor and Stubbs might just hate every track.
It's a surprisingly decent chart, despite the obvious overall trend towards bland, safe post-Live Aid shit, which you see in the top two, for example (Madonna, Sister Sledge). The charts have not quite jumped the shark yet. Genuine edgy stuff like Propaganda still gets a decent shake.Last edited by Satchmo Distel; 31-03-2018, 01:13.

Tbh I think combos of Taylor Price and Kulkarni are the best. No offense to wingco but he’s a little more dry on the podcast. And I keep getting a Harry Hill soundalike thing going on. Could do with more Sarah Bee to reduce the sausage factor, she’s hardly been on in more than a year’s worth.
