1000 Songs Podcast

Jim Shedden, Alan Zweig, Rick Campbell, and Special Guest Veronique Beaudet discuss songs by The Temptations, The Mekons, Laura Nyro, and Kate Bush. Technical production by Forrest McAdam.

In this episode, Jim Shedden and Alan Zweig are joined by longtime 1000 Songs Facebook Group contributor, Rick McGinnis, and special guest, Dave Howard of The Dave Howard Singularity (formerly, The Dave Howard Singers), to discuss songs they love including:  ▶️ The Amorous Humphrey Plugg by Scott Walker  ▶️ Lujon by Henry Mancini ▶️ Se telefonando by Ennio Morricone, featuring Mina Tune in to the 1000 Songs Podcast, Episode 8, where Jim Shedden shares his chosen song, "The Amorous Humphrey Plugg" by Scott Walker. Known for an eclectic range of musical styles spanning five decades and an ethereal vocal quality, upon his death in 2019, the artist was described by the BBC as "one of the most enigmatic and influential figures in rock history". Jim's chosen song is featured on the compilation album, Fire Escape in the Sky: The Godlike Genius of Scott Walker, compiled by Julian Cope (Zoo Records). For Jim, who received this album at the age of 18 from his friend, Lisa Godfrey, the introduction to Walker was “a huge gift”.  Also in this episode, special guest Dave Howard shares his song, “Lujon”, by Henry Mancini. While the song is heard in the 2016 Ron Howard Beatles documentary, Eight Days a Week, it was originally released in the 1961 Mancini album, Mr. Lucky Goes Latin. The influence of 1960's orchestral music and “joyful, melodic” crooners like Walker on Howard has long been evidenced through the avant-garde/electronic orchestrations of Howard's former music band/project, The Dave Howard Singers. Here, Howard shares some of his musical influences and reveals the origins of TDHS band name.  Rick McGinnis shares “Se telefonando” by Ennio Morricone, which raises the discussion of the “parallel sixties” with Alan. While Rick and Alan debate who actually coined the term, the concept is that alongside the emergence of psychedelic rock in the latter years of the decade, the era was also popularly known for crooners and orchestral music. As Alan says, “In 1964, Sinatra was king.”  This episode features references to several songs by Scott Walker, Henry Mancini, and Ennio Morricone, and other artists in the genre of orchestral/soundtrack music. Our closing song for this episode is “Swept Away”, composed and performed by Dave Howard under his new moniker, The Dave Howard Singularity, from the new album out now called, Dark and For Boating (2023).  Follow 1000 Songs podcast on Facebook and Instagram, and stay tuned for our next episode, available wherever you get your podcasts!  Technical production and editing by Lisa Santonato.
