      "gerontophiliac porn line adverts"?

      I am so freaking agog.

        I'm having to break it across several commutes so I'm only an hour in, but Two Paper Lads from Venezuela has to be a new entry in the next top 10.

          Like Taylor, the first record I ever bought was The Barron Knights (Get Down Shep, if you're curious).

            Some absolute gold in this episode. And I've stuffed dollar down Al's G-string to have my name on it too.

            I've been in St Winifreds. Probably the only primary school in the country to have a gold disc displayed in reception, though I got the impression that the staff were a little embarrassed about it.

              Great episode. I'm always sceptical about the ones from before I was born (1984 in case anyone wondered) purely because I can't possibly know what life was like then, but in all honesty, I can listen to Neil Kulkarni and Simon Price ramble on and on without ever getting bored.

              Finding this podcast in June has genuinely made my year - it's fantastic. The only problem I have now is that I've listened to all the back episodes so am having to wait for the next one.

                  It's almost a drug, now.

                  I actually remember this episode, and it was indeed 'mint'. 14 year old, try-hard, closet ska-boy. Fred Perry, Harrington (hand me down) and scuffed DM's. I'm embarrassed to think about it. The show, too.

                  There's a podcast thread on The Guardian, and this gets a well-earned mention.

                    New one: Xmas 1976.

                      Simon Price bang on with Elton John - I can't stand him either and it's mostly to do with the vowel sounds.

                      Comment


                        I can't stand him either and it's mostly to do with him playing for aparheid racists and ethnic cleansers. Plus all the shit records he released after, what, 1983? And his personality.

                          They go rather easy on Queen's Sun City disgrace.

                          Comment


                            I don't think they did. I think they said that Queen got all the shit for it, whilst many, MANY, others got away with it.

                            Including to my huge surprise, Tina Turner.

                              Re: Elton John. I've never liked him because he's a cunt.

                              "Queen Mother" of pop? Fuck off. Temperamental queen who got lucky with shit poetry, and a decent music writer.

                                  Lots of chuckles so far

                                    The second one in a month to joke about Lennon's assassination, in its unique, excellently taboo breaking style.

                                    Peebles still dines out on that piss-poor interview that all Beatles historians ignore because it was done on fucking autopilot by someone with no ability to ask penetrating questions.

                                      I'm a bit of a Beatles obsessive, but in my darkest moments I laugh along with the lyrics of Mowtown Junk. Fuckin Peebles but, the Ian Gittins of the 70s.

                                        An OTFer gets a very specific reference from Taylor.

                                          Just listening to the latest one. For reasons of self-consciousness, I very much prefer the ones I'm not in; this one is truly glorious. Looking at a 2000 episode, it's prefaced by a brilliant, coruscating account from those who were there - Neil Kulkarni, Sarah Bee (I'd jumped ship by this point) of the last, awful days of Melody Maker and the imminent bankruptcy of market research-led music journalism, the internet notwithstanding.

                                            Halfway through the MM dissection. I now hate Mark sutherland with the intensity of a thousand suns.

                                              He was a Yeti of misery in the Maker's last days - needless, too. They could at least have gone down, as Neil suggests, in a blaze of glory.

                                                Sutherland is now editor of trade rag Music Week, his editorials usually parroting the party line of the major labels to an obvious degree.

                                                    There's got to come a point where you do a live podcast. I know you have to be thinking it. "Is there a likely conglomeration of people who will a) pay to see/hear us do this live, and b) buy Bummerdog memorabilia?"

                                                    a) dunno, might be iffy, but

                                                    b) personally,no. Already have my own designs ready to go. Just need the word from a chart music lawyer. Although with an unfavourable outcome,

                                                    b) absolutely, but only with a 'grandad collar', and in washed-out gray.
