Stephen J Peak is in the wars. Kev can see light, crosses and a complete lack of activity at the end of the tunnel and Finey takes jumbo schnitzels and mini kisses. What does it all mean? Is this a sign from above? Is she really going out with him? Are Friends Electric? Do you know the way to San Jose? If you don't, listen to the episode now. More of these musically inane questions will be posed randomly on your phone. You think we are joking?

Send us a textDavid Bowie's “Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)” is, for many fans, his last great album. Mick regards it as one of Bowie's best, with the singles "Ashes to Ashes" and "Fashion".  Mick and Jeff talk through what makes this album great, and look at the music environment as Bowie, along with many other 70's greats, faced the changes and challenges of the 80's.“Knockin' on Heaven's Door” offers a long line of new entrants to Rock'n'Roll Heaven including Herbie Flowers, Tito Jackson, Kris Kristofferson and Liam Payne from One Direction. Our Album You Must Listen to Before you Die, fresh from Robert Dimery's book, is Dexy's Midnight Runners' “Don't Stand Me Down”, a massive failure on release in 1985 but receiving a fresh critical re-evaluation in modern times.  We didn't like it!  Not least because of their complete rip-off of “Werewolves of London” by Warren Zevon.   Episode PlaylistScary Monsters (and Super Creeps) - just the album__________________________________More Trump! One of those things – Dexy's  Bowie interview - “My Phil Collins Years”  Bowie – Ashes to Ashes live on Jools Holland  Pete Townshend   Glass Spider LiveOther References Alt Rock Chick – fabulous insightful reviews across the rock spectrum  References:  Angie Bowie, Eno, Lodger, Outside, Joy Division, Kate Bush, Gary Numan, New Romantic, “Are “Friends Electric?”, The Pleasure Principle, “Cars”, “It's No Game”, Pete Townshend, “Because You're Young”, Robert Fripp, “Heroes”, Carlos Alomar, George Murray, Dennis Davis, Tony Visconti, Kellogg's Corn Flakes, Edward Bell, Pierrot, "Ashes to Ashes", Brian Duffy, Natasha Korniloff, Lindsay Kemp, Pierrot in Turquoise, Berlin Trilogy, Phil Collins, Let's Dance, Nile Rodgers, “In the air tonight”, Alt Rock Chick, Major Tom, Fripp's skronky guitar work, “Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)”, “Fashion”, “Scream Like a Baby”, “Kingdom Come”, Tom Verlaine, Neil Young, “Hey Hey My My” 

Bill and Noah look at the relatively discrete phenomenon of podcaster Griffin Newman and his rise to chinwag fame. @noahandbillshow -- @williamscurry -- @noahtarnow This week's theme: "Are Friends Electric?” by Gary Numan. New episodes every Monday morning on Spotify, Soundcloud, iTunes, and GooglePlay!

We're back witha new season and we're kicking off with a story from the legendary Gary Numan. He's a pioneer in electronic music producing such early hits as “Are Friends Electric?” and “Cars” and is an inspiration to artists as varied as Nine Inch Nails, Damon Albarn from Blur, and the Foo Fighters. After a series of shows at Wembly in 1981, Numan decided to “retire” for a spell. Music got in the way of Numan's other love, flying planes and, in 1982 he decided to take his plane and circumnavigate the globe. Today, Gary tells us about the highs and lows of that experience. It's quite a tale so buckle your seat belts and strap in for the ride!

En este podcast podréis escuchar una selección de grupos de New Wave y SynthPop con el hilo conductor de “Vienna” de los Ultravox. Muchas de las canciones son en su versión extendida o de 12 pulgadas. Ultravox - Vienna (Single Version): Primer single de su cuarto álbum y primero con Midge Ure como vocalista. Publicado como single en 1981 llegó al número 2 en el Reino Unido, convirtiéndose en el primer gran éxito de la banda. Duran Duran - The Chauffeur: Última canción del segundo disco del grupo, publicado el 10 de mayo de 1982. Publicado como cara B del sencillo “Rio” pero en su versión demo y con casi 2 minutos menos de duración. Freur - Doot Doot (Extended Version): Grupo de SythPop con solo 3 años de carrera, luego se convertirían en los famosos Underworld. Este fue su primer sencillo, publicado en 1983, consiguiendo una buena respuesta en las listas europeas. En 1986 se disuelven. Depeche Mode - Stripped (Highland Mix): Primer single del álbum “Black Celebration” publicado en 1986.

Peter Schilling - Terra Titanic (Lost To The Sea): Single publicado en 1984 por el alemán luego del gran éxito de “Major Tom (Coming Home)” Thompson Twins - Doctor! Doctor!

En 2001 Michael Andrews y Gary Jules grabaron una versión acústica de la canción para la película “Donnie Darko” Camouflage - That Smiling Face: Luego del gran éxito del single “The Great Commandment” publicado durante 1988, saldría este sencillo, extraído del álbum debut “Voices & Images” Information Society - Running: Formados en Minnesota 1982, dos años más tarde publicarían el sencillo “Running” escrito y cantado por Murat Konar, quien dejó el grupo poco después. El single logró gran éxito en las pistas de baile del mundo entero durante varios años, hoy en día es una canción de culto. Luego llegaría el éxito con su primer álbum.

It's World Pride 2023 and the queer globe is converging on Sydney Australia to celebrate diversity, inclusion, community and fabulousness! To mark this momentous event the STAGES podcast is saluting the cast of captivating drag divas and personalities who have been featured on the podcast during the past 5 seasons. They are artists who have appeared on national and global stages; thrilling audiences, making a difference, healing community and expressing unique and wondrous talents. We spotlight these episodes so you can savour a second listen - or so you can sample the delights of these entertainers for the very first time. A Diva a day for each day of World Pride! Strykermeyer is a drag performer of unique powers and enormous skill. His work has enamoured audiences around the world. His ability to conjure a crowd is harnessed with immense theatricality; drawn from the combination of idiosyncratic invention in performance; and the greasepaints that contribute to the creation of an arresting and hypnotic aesthetic. Migrating to Australia as a boy from the UK, his family found residence in the Goldfields town of Kambalda in Western Australia. The contrast of geography and climate built a resilience in the young Stryker and forced avenues to escape - in imagination and by train! Landing in Perth in the 70s he entered his first nightclub - Matches on William street. The lure of the stage called and his place in the world was found. This was the time of a different drag scene. Experimental and exciting, it drew a queer community together and launched the careers of a bounty of burgeoning artists. Established performer Audrey Woodstock-Rose guided Stryker in the early days providing lessons in stagecraft and an appreciation of Asian theatre styles such as Kabuki, Noh, and Butoh; influences that resonate in Stryker's performance repertoire. Early song choices that supported his developing style included Gary Numan's Are Friends Electric? and Iggy Pop's I'm Bored, which he performed in ‘boy drag'. Considered one of the best make-up artists in Australia, Stryker contributed to the drag aesthetic on the film Priscilla - Queen of the Desert; ultimately being awarded the British Academy of Film and Television Award for Best Make-up and Hair Design in 1994. Today he continues to contribute a vivid artistic and considered temperament to queer and art spaces around W.A. Collaborations with fellow performer Ash Baroque inspire his creativity and ensure we continue to be enthralled by his vast talents. Stryker the man, is a modest gentleman who possesses years of experience and knowledge; eternally maintaining a passion for his art and craft. He is a treasured and gifted artist who has been an avant-garde presence on the queer scene for several decades. What a treat that he shares all of that in this riveting episode of the STAGES podcast! The STAGES podcast is available from Apple podcasts, Spotify and from where you find your favourite podcasts. Tune in daily for a history of drag in Sydney. Tell your friends, share the podcast, relish the stories and embrace your own sense of Pride.

Looking at the song which Gary Numan has described as his favourite of all time: 'A Prayer for the Unborn' - from the original version on 2000's Pure to the Andy Gray remix heard at most live shows from the past 20 years. It is one of Gary's most personal songs, written after a tragic family moment that is a moving track for many people who have gone through something similar.

We also hear just how important the song has been for Gary's fans over the past 4+ decades, and hear extracts about the song from Gary's autobiography.

Hello, I'm Tom Eames, and welcome to a new podcast, Electric Friends, a celebration of the musical legacy of someone who is now, rightly considered a true icon of music, and one of the leaders of the electronic synthpop movement of the late 1970s and beyond: Gary Numan. This podcast is for all fellow Gary Numan fans out there, and for anyone who would love to delve more into his back catalogue. Each episode will look at a different Gary Numan song, looking at its creation, the meaning behind it, and more. It won't be chronological or alphabetical, but rather will take on all eras of Gary's discography in a non-linear journey.  If you're listening to this, then chances are, like me, you're a massive fan of Gary Numan. Either that, or you're a general fan and gatherer of music history, and were intrigued by a man who, in his early 20s in 1979, came out of seemingly nowhere to become an overnight popstar, and brought synths to the mainstream in a way no other artist had quite managed at that point. Fast-forward over 40 years later, and Gary is still making music and touring to fans around the world. If anything, his career over the last couple of years has reached a height he hasn't felt since the early ‘80s. He has had two albums reach number two in the UK charts, and in 2022 he's returning to Wembley Arena for the first time since his short-lived touring retirement in 1981. Gary has never decided to sit back and just perform Greatest Hits tours without releasing new music - he has kept interesting and relevant, morphing his sound to fit his evolving tastes and styles, to great effect. In fact, I'd argue that his last four albums - Ded Son Rising, Splinter, Savage and Intruder - are easily his greatest since the holy trinity of ‘Replicas', ‘The Pleasure Principle' and ‘Telekon'. He's actually improving with age. Not many artists in their 60s can say that. There's no other artist that sounds like Gary. His voice is so unique and hypnotic, and he has a fascinating sound to his records that feel so moving, atmospheric and catchy all at once. Yet, despite his decades of making music and critics finally giving him the credit he deserves, he still weirdly feels like a hidden gem. A secret that not many people seem to know or get. People might know ‘Cars' or ‘Are Friends Electric' at least, maybe. But once you ‘get' Gary Numan, and become a fully-fledged fan, or Numanoid if you will, you're there for life. Like supporting a football team. You'll find it hard to find fans as dedicated and passionate as Gary's. I myself became a Gary Numan fan back in 1994, when I was aged 7 or 8. Up until this point I had only been interested in ‘children's music' and then onto hits from the ‘60s, thanks to my parents' collection of CDs at the time. That year was the first year I was aware of ‘current' music and started watching Top of the Pops and listened to the chart show on Radio 1. At one point on the BBC, there was this one-off Rock and Roll Years-style programme, but weirdly it was all about the environment over the years while shoehorning in the big hits of the era (side note: if anyone has any idea what this programme was, please let me know) - and then when it reached 1979, there suddenly appeared this pale robot-like guy singing ‘here in my car'. This clip only lasted the length of, well, it's not exactly a chorus, but it only went on for about a minute or so. But in that minute, I was utterly fascinated by this man and the music he was making. It instantly became my favourite song, and I must have rewound that clip over a hundred times. And I've never looked back. In the era before YouTube and the internet, it would genuinely take at least a year before I heard the full song. I would relish any moment that Gary popped up on Top of the Pops 2. He became this folk-like creature. Was he even real? Is he still around today? In time, I'd collect his albums at HMV or local markets and build up a little catalogue of his music. But he

Russell Morris is the real thing in so many ways outside the song that bought him fame. He chats about working with Molly on that song, growing up in rough, tough Richmond, meeting Linda Ronstadt and now doing the music he wants to do. Remember Cars and Are Friends Electric ? Gary Numan has carved out a long career in electro music since those two chartbusters. He chats about his life and his new album Intruder.  Rock On!  Thanks to our great friends at Murcotts Driving Excellence for their support.

The electronic pioneer lays himself bare in a conversation that mixes talk on his new album Intruder and the pressure and difficulties the lows of his career and the high-praise from artists such as Trent Reznor, Dave Grohl and Lady Gaga brought with it's production, the several instances of good fortune that enabled Are Friends Electric to get to number one and kickstart his career and a near-death experience that had Numan consider killing his friend in order to survive.

Steve Cooper talks with musician Gary Numan. Gary is most widely known for his chart-topping 1979 hits Are ‘Friends’ Electric? (when in Tubeway Army) and Cars. He achieved his peak of mainstream popularity in the late 70s and early 80s but maintains a loyal cult following. His signature sound consists of heavy synthesizer hooks fed through guitar effects pedals, is considered a pioneer of commercial electronic music. He has sold over 10 million records in his career and just released his 21st studio album Intruder.

    What if the original Blade Runner film had a pop music soundtrack? You know how some films have an instrumental score but also an album of pop/rock tunes that were used in the film or inspired by the film. If Blade Runner had such a collection maybe it would sound like this mix. This all started when I was listening to Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond part 1 and I thought that it sounded like it would sort of fit with the Blade Runner score we are all so familiar with. That got me thinking about the question posed at the top of this post. As I started collecting tracks the first place I went was Gary Numan & Tubeway Army - Replicas. How could I not use a song called "Replicas"? Likewise from the same album, how could resist the track "Are Friends Electric?" I got some great recommendations from Mixcloud listeners in this thread - https://www.mixcloud.com/lowlight/posts/pop-tunes-for-blade-runner/   Tracks from Public Image Ltd., John Foxx, Quieter Than Spiders and New Order came right from those suggestions. There were also some great ideas in that thread which will work perfectly in a Blade Runner alternative score mix. I'm hyped to do that mix but I should probably wait a bit after this BR mix. This was a lot of fun to put together. I hope you enjoy it.

We've been quietly watching the career of Djedjotronic from afar for some time, he has evolved as an artist and has emerged from the big room bonanza with a unique and singular sound which has been well supported and praised. Along the way he has collaborated with some of the most influential in dance and electronic music including the likes of Miss. Kittin and Cardopusher. He has released most prominently on Boys Noize Records and is now set to release his debut full length album which showcases his talent in a new light. A few weeks ago we premiered a collaborative reimagination of Gary Numan's track "Are Friends Electric" in collaboration with Lokier... It's a sign of good things to come...

Good to finally carve out an evening to record another podcast. I swear, these days I blink and three or four months go by. I suppose, relatively speaking, the same could be said for this episode as it is officially the shortest podcast in CRC history, clocking in at just under one hour. "So, Mr. DJ Tintin," I'm sure you're saying to yourself, "for all my patience waiting for you to give me some new tunes you reward me with LESS music???" It seems that way. You still get the requisite 15 songs, but many of these were single or album versions as opposed to remixes. That's the only defense I have. BUT, look at this artist and track list! Those of you looking for some stuff you haven't heard before may have just hit the mother lode. The Stranglers? Our Daughter's Wedding? Not exactly household names. "Fun City", "Heartbeat City", "Still Angry"? Not exactly the songs anyone would recall off the top of their heads by Soft Cell, The Cars or Book Of Love, respectively. But enough justification. On to the bands ... So, why were the 80s so great? A loaded question to be sure. But ask yourself how many bands in recent memory could have a member, who owned a hair salon, rent out a space above said hair salon, form a band, get discovered by Bill Nelson of Be Bop Deluxe fame, decide upon wearing women's clothes for a video shot in three days on a shoestring budget and become superstars thanks in some part to a fledgling music network called MTV and a now-famous hairstyle? Such was the fate of A Flock of Seagulls, a band that certainly helped alter my musical trajectory and, with the song I Ran (So Far Away), created one of the most iconic and lasting songs of the decade. THAT is the greatness of the 80s - the fact that music was not yet paint-by-number. There was room for experimentation. Sure, you had to be marketable, but the definition of marketable was fluid. And the rules were fluid. As long as someone in the know heard something they liked or saw a creative spark it was sometimes enough for a label to take a chance on you. Spoken like someone who thinks the music they grew up with is the best, I know. But I ask again: could that backstory exist today? Perhaps, but I just don't see it. As for the song in this podcast, "Telecommunication", it is sort of a cult hit at this point and probably an accidental one at that. "(It's Not Me) Talking" was the first single release by AFOS in 1981, but it was the futuristic lyrics and "wall of sound" energy, later praised by uber-producer Phil Spector, that propelled "Telecommunication" into the clubs and into hearts of new wavers. The tune still sounds cool and futuristic even today and reminds me of a moment in time when musical possibilities were still limitless. "No sequencers were used" reads the liner notes of Our Daughters Wedding's first EP, "Digital Cowboy". Layne Rico (electronic percussion / synth), Keith Silva (vocals / synth) and Scott Simon (synth / saxophone) wanted everyone to know that their electronic wizardry and sleight of hand was due entirely to coordination and skill and not programming and triggers like many of their contemporaries such as Depeche Mode and OMD, two groups to which ODW was often compared after their switch over from punk rock and guitars to new wave and synths. And while the group, who sang about lawnchairs and made frequent appearances on MTV with Martha Quinn in the early days of the network, somewhat ironically dismissed DM and OMD as being too "gimmicky", the group did score opening slots for some of the giants of the day including Duran Duran, Talk Talk, Iggy Pop, The Psychedelic Furs and U2. They even worked with famed producer Colin Thurston to record the aforementioned EP. Not bad for a US-based band who suffered the slings and arrows and broken beer bottles of misfortune hurled at them for using electronics on stage at a time when punk was still king. But even skill and deigning to employ sequencers could not save the group from a dust up with their label, EMI. According to Scott Simon, the LA office killed the momentum of their full-length album, Moving Windows, which was released in 1982, because a label exec had a personal issue with one of the band's representatives. The track here, Auto Music, is a Razormaid! mix of the lead track to that first and only full-length. The sweet electronic bass line you hear came about from Simon and David Spradley, the producer for Moving Windows, "jamming one morning in our Union Square loft." To cut a long story short, Spandau Ballet are good. Go buy their records. Seriously, though, Spandau Ballet seems like a perfect name for a slick and sophisticated band who helped spearhead the New Romantic movement, an era of glossy images and high fashion that gave rise to groups like Duran Duran and Visage and others. That is until you remember that, like other groups, SB had their roots in the punk scene and that their name was Allied trench warfare slang for corpses whose bullet-riddled bodies twisted and danced on barbed wire as they were hit by German gunfire. Perhaps they would have been better off going with The Cut or The Makers, both previous band names. But, the name Spandau Ballet stuck as did the amazing voice of Tony Hadley, the Kemp brother's guitar prowess (Martin and Gary), Steve Norman's saxophone riffs and John Keeble's percussive underpinnings. That classic lineup produced a string of Top 10 hits (10 to be precise) including "Gold", "Only When You Leave", "True", "Chant No. 1" and the song in this podcast, "To Cut A Long Story Short", the groups' debut single, which reached #5 in the UK. Speculation surrounding the song is that it pertains to a veteran suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder after being drafted, but getting no explanation why he must join the war. This song apparently inspired Vince Clarke (Depeche Mode, Yaz, The Assembly) to write DM's third single, "Just Can't Get Enough" which, as a side note, is currently being used in a Wal-Mart advertisement. I did NOT see that coming! What more can be said about Gary Numan that hasn't already been said over the course of four decades by the music press? Probably nothing, so I'm not even going to try to break new ground. But, in case you missed it, Gary did just drop his 18th solo album, Savage (Songs From A Broken World), this past September and it instantly shot all the way up the album charts to #2 in the UK and #1 on the UK Indie charts. Call it a love of the man and his music or an indictment of the current music scene, but for a guy who goes down in history as the first artist to secure a #1 song using an all-electronic approach with the highly-coveted and frequently-covered "Are Friends Electric?" way back in 1979, the fact that Gary is still making music that questions, challenges, lifts, destroys and defies convention is impressive. Despite the lofty charting position of the new album and its predominant use of electronics, it failed to register on the Billboard Electronic charts because, according to a Billboard executive, “Sonically, the Numan album just does not fit in" with Billboard's perception of electronic dance music. Seems a bit ridiculous, but Numan is no stranger to such disinterest or indifference on the part of the music cabal. In fact, even during his heyday, "Are Friends Electric?" was perched atop the British charts for three weeks before any radio station would add it to their playlists. The song in this podcast, "I Die: You Die", which appeared in 1980 on the Telekon album a mere two years after his Tubeway Army signing with Beggars Banquet, is his rebuke of the music press and their God complex, star-maker/star-breaker tendencies. The track eventually reached #6 on the UK singles chart. And finally, speaking of the music press, the last band I'd like to mention here had them completely baffled and befuddled for the bulk of their career, or at least until 1990 when Hugh Cornwall left the group. The Stranglers, originally known as the Guildford Stranglers when they embarked as a band in 1974, were comprised of guitarist/keyboardist Hugh Cornwall, bassist/vocalist Jen-Jacques Burnel, keyboardist Dave Greenfield and drummer Brian Duffy (aka Jet Black). Though not one member hailed from Guildford, they were "tweeners" in every sense of the word, dabbling in numerous styles from electropop to soul during the course of their long and storied career. And while many of their successes came during their early punk days, they never quite fit into the punk scene. Ostracized for their relative age, their humorous, often self-deprecating lyrical style contrasted with their often anti-politically correct stage antics, their stunningly fast musical growth and development, and their hit-making skill, which generated 21 Top-40 singles, The Stranglers set themselves apart from their punk contemporaries and gave the press fits as they did not know how to put square pegs into round holes. The track here, "All Roads Lead To Rome" was from their seventh album, Feline. As you can hear, it has distinct new wave overtones, which makes total sense having been released in 1982, but it is certainly a brave departure from their earlier work. And while this track did not chart, it still stands as one of the high points from the Feline album and provides a glimpse into a chameleon-like band that was firmly in transition. Another episode in the books. Thanks for reading/listening. Enjoy the music!
