Podcast appearances and mentions of alan siler

This week Rob and Alan chat with author Iain Key about his new book All the Young Punks: A People's History of the Clash, an oral history of one of the most seminal bands in modern music. Iain is well-known to Louder Than War regulars as the presenter of his own Indie Brunch show on Louder Than War Radio, and in his first foray as a published author, he indulges his fascination with his favourite Punk icons to great effect. In our discussion, we talk about what made the Clash unique, why they connected with such a broad audience, their rise in popularity in America, and a whole lot more.  The book is published by Spenwood Books. You can get more information and purchase your copy on All the Young Punks: A People's History of the Clash by visiting the publisher's website.  Connect to Iain on: Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/iain.key.5  Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/iain.key/  X at https://x.com/iainkey    Let us know if you enjoyed this episode!

This week Alan unveils his ranking of the 15 best performances on the 50th Anniversary season of Saturday Night Live!

You'll have to listen to find out! But here's a hint: the list features legends like Sir Paul McCartney, Paul Simon, and Stevie Nicks, as well as some newcomers like Gracie Abrams, Shaboozey, and Mk.Gee!

A year ago we interviewed filmmaker OLIVIA SERAFINI-SAULI on the completion of her film Endless Calls For Fame: The Story of the New Rising Sons. Since then, that film has found North American distribution and is now available on all major streaming platforms in a slightly reworked / updated format. We catch up with Olivia to learn about her journey over the past year -- clearing the rights to all the music, what went into getting the film picked up, putting together the gala screenings, and the joy of seeing her film on the big screen. It's a conversation you don't want to miss! Endless Calls For Fame is the story of a band from the New York 90s scene who got signed to a major label and were poised to be the next big thing, until ... it just didn't happen. It's an incredible story that music lovers will enjoy.  Learn more about Olivia and Endless Calls For Fame at the Via73 Films website. Watch Endless Calls For Fame on AppleTV, Prime Video, Fandango At Home, and other streaming sources. After our chat with Olivia, we share our memories of fallen Blondie drummer Clem Burke. Alan talks about the first time he heard Clem's playing, and Stephanie tells a great story about being in a band with him!  Let us know if you enjoyed this episode and what you thought of the film!

This week we set the controls of our Wayback Machine to the funky days of 1975 and celebrate the 50th anniversary of some iconic albums! It's a year of highs for a lot of bands we now think of as classic rock; it was a key year for funk and disco; the Philly Soul sound was very much in fashion; and it was a year of reinvention for some well-established acts. We talk about albums by Elton John, KISS, KC and the Sunshine Band, Queen, Parliament, Roxy Music, Fleetwood Mac, Aerosmith, the Boss, and the weirdest album Lou Reed ever made. We even get a history lesson on the Third (THIRD!) Great Cod War!  If you'd like to follow along with our discussion, we have a Spotify Playlist highlighting all the music that we talk about in the show! Let us know your favorite artist, album or song from 1975, especially if it's one that we didn't cover. Drop us a line at modernmusicology1@gmail.com or leave a comment on our socials wherever you see this episode posted! #podcast #podcastersofinstagram #podcasting #podcastlife #podcaster #podcasters #podcasts #music #musicnerd #1975 #70smusic Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ModernMusicology  Check us out on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/modernmusicologypodcast/  Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ModrnMusicology  Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCk-MlcGy5u3fK1j4bVty1Kw  Modern Musicology is part of the ESO Podcast Network. https://esonetwork.com/  Find more about us: Rob Levy: https://kdhx.org/shows/show/juxtaposition  Stephanie Seymour: www.therearebirds.com   R.

This week we're joined by author Daniel Rachel, whose book Too Much Too Young: The 2 Tone Records Story: Rude Boys, Racism, and the Soundtrack of a Generation, which transports us to the late 70s and the explosion of 2 Tone Records, the home of such recording artists as The Specials, The Selecter, Madness, The (English) Beat, The Bodysnatchers, and more. Our conversation goes beyond the music, though, and touches upon the socio-political environment in which 2 Tone existed, and the history and truths that the artists brought to light about social issues, racism, class, and gender struggles.  You can buy your copy of Too Much Too Young HERE. Visit Daniel's website HERE. Let us know what you thought of this episode, and if you're a fan of the 2 Tone era!

There are artists and bands who are very well known for their very loyal and ultra-supportive fanbase. Some of those include Elvis, the Beatles, the Grateful Dead, and Taylor Swift. But what about when that devotion maybe gets taken too far? Anthony leads us in a discussion about the extreme side of fandom, both the good and the bad. We talk about some of our very positive experiences in fandom as well as a few darker examples. How has fandom shifted over the years, and particularly how has social media radically shifted the way that fans interact with their fans and each other? Please tell us your favorite (or least favorite) fandom story!

As we've finally made it to the end of the Tom Baker era (a feat that has taken us close to two-and-a-half years!), we are once again joined by the 5th Watcher, R. Alan Siler, who guides us through our era-spanning retrospective for the longest-running (and arguably most popular) Doctor of all time!   Join us as we discuss the best stories to sum up each Producer during the era, whether RTD and Moffatt are right about non-contemporary/non-human companions (they're not), whether Tom stayed too long, whether we'd want an eighth season with Tom, and how Diana didn't read through her contract before joining the show. Of course, we take a look back at the highlights of some of our stats, before Alan guides us through a game of “Would You Rather…?”   Other media mentioned in this episode*: The James Bond Collection (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3FWn6kg | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3DQB4lR) Moonbase 3 (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3xdCVRm | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3Mm13Fv) Star Trek: The Original Series: The Complete Series (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3aifha7 | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/2YtSYvx) Game of Thrones: The Complete Series (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3lRgVWD | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3aQhh9U) Austin Powers Triple Feature (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3G4NQit | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3vuHNyO) Harry Potter: Complete 8-Film Collection (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3SdAHd5 | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3oFjhZh) Looney Tunes – The Platinum Collection (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3Aov8z7 | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3nRkM7w) The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (TV version) (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3G6YCoH | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3m0qOSc)   Finally, you can also follow us and interact with us on Facebook and Instagram.

The Kinks was one of the most influential bands to come out of England in the 60s, with a career that lasted up through the late 90s. Their style and sound changed numerous times over the decades and they amassed a legion of dedicated fans. We talk with author / editor Chris Kocher about his new book, Thank You For The Days: Fans Of The Kinks Share 60 Years Of Stories, which celebrates the band's legacy and fans' special connection to it. Among the contributors are Ron Sexsmith, Glen Burtnick, John Wesley Harding, Crouch End Festival Chorus musical director David Temple, plus touring musicians, fan club leaders, and "average Joe" fans with extraordinary stories.  Thank You For The Days is currently available in the UK and will be released in the US in March 2025. Order your copies HERE. After that, we spend a few minutes remember Marianne Faithful, who passed away just a couple of days before we reccorded this episode.  Are you a Kinks fan?

For our 2024 Holiday special, Julie's taking over the show, and we're joined by our favourite regular guest R. Alan Siler, as choose not do something seasonal, but to do something very much related to Doctor Who that we've really wanted to do for a while now… and so, we're heading into the world of Douglas Adams, as we discuss the 1981 TV version of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy!   Join us as we learn about Julie's bedtime, discuss the animation style, the comparison between this in different media, the unexpected similarities between Gene Roddenberry and Douglas Adams, the works of Oolon Caloophid, just how uncool Zaphod Beeblebrox secretly is, and how amazing David Dixon is as Ford Prefect (and what a great Doctor he would've been!).

This week we chat with author and science blogger Bethany Brookshire who shares her knowledge about how music works, its importance to community, and its impact on culture. We address questions like: How do our brains process music? How do vocal cords work? Why do we perceive dissonance differently? Why are some cultures thought of as more musical than others? How do tone deafness and rhythm deafness relate to each other? And the importance of music education. It turned out to be one of the most fascinating discussions we've ever had.  After that, we do our Picks of the Week and talk about new releases like the new Cure album, the Tears for Fears concert film, country artist Elizabeth Cook, the new documentary about composer John Williams, a concert by the Jayhawks, and more! Please visit https://bethanybrookshire.com/ to connect with Bethany and get information about her articles and books. We hope you enjoyed this discussion as much as we did.

Our recent episodes on 1984 and Purple Rain have really put us in a particular mood, so now we're waxing nostalgic (pun intended) about the heyday of cassette culture! We're joined by author ROB DREW, whose new book Unspooled: How the Cassette Made Music Shareable examines the enormous impact that cassettes had on the music industry and cultural landscape. Our conversation ranges from the art and science of mix tapes to indie metal and punk bands who spread their music via cassettes, and from how the cassette changed the way artists recorded albums to congressional hearings to decide if home taping should be illegal.

Filmmaker Olivia Serafini-Sauli hung around the New York music scene in the 90s, and she always had her camera at the ready. So when her friends in the band The New Rising Sons were on the verge of having all their dreams come true, she was there to chronicle it. However, in spite of sold out shows, a major label record deal, and a debut album recorded at a legendary studio, the band's dream came to a sudden end.  Now, 30 years later, the debut NRS album has finally been released on Arctic Rodeo Recordings, and Olivia has taken all of her archival footage plus brand new interviews with band members, producers, record execs, and our very own Stephanie Seymour (who was a friend of the band and worked at Virgin Records when they were signed) to tell the complete story of the New Rising Sons.  Learn more about the film, the band, and the band's music here: https://www.via73films.com/ https://arcticrodeorecordings.com/?page_id=4471 Did you enjoy this episode?

As soon as we saw the trailer for the Immediate Family documentary last year, we knew we wanted to review it on our show! The film covers the extraordinary careers of Russ Kunkel, Leland Sklar, Danny Kortchmar, and Waddy Wachtel, and the amazing music they've made over the years. They've been session players and band members for just about every artist on the planet, including James Taylor, Carole King, Jackson Browne, Phil Collins, Linda Ronstadt, Stevie Nicks, Dan Fogelberg, Carly Simon, Toto, Jon Bon Jovi, James Taylor, Iggy Pop, Warren Zevon, Keith Richards, Don Henley, and literally hundreds of others. Steph and Alan talk about the first time we ever became aware of each guy, the iconic albums that they appear on, highlights from the film, and more. Have you seen the Immediate Family documentary?
