Dave Murphy – An Ordinary Bloke with Extraordinary ExperiencesHi, I'm Dave. I consider myself an ordinary guy, but life has thrown a series of extraordinary events my way.I grew up in Basildon, Essex, and started my career as an animator and graphic artist before transitioning into computer programming. Before long, I was headhunted by a New York consultancy firm and found myself working for some of the most prestigious (read: "evil") and successful (read: "greedy, dishonest, and manipulative") Fortune 500 companies in the city.While navigating corporate life, I also joined the local volunteer Fire Department and started my own business on the side. It wasn't long before I was making serious money. My wife and I bought our dream cars, remodeled our home to twice its size, and I built a man-cave filled with the latest gadgets and toys. But despite the material success, something didn't feel right—I was deeply entrenched in what I now call The Matrix, believing the world worked exactly as it was presented to me on TV.Everything changed after a layoff when I turned down a job offer on the 40th floor of Tower One at the World Trade Center. Instead, I took a position across the Hudson River in Hoboken, NJ—where I watched in disbelief as the events of 9/11 unfolded before my eyes. That moment shattered my perception of reality and set me on a path of questioning everything I thought I knew.

Episode 180: Depeche Mode – Speak & Spell (1981) Part 1 – Second Half BLACK FRIDAY SPECIAL!!   We wanted to get this episode to you on Black Friday, but in order to do that, we have to get chintzy with these show notes.  I'm just re-using Sarah's notes from last time, and I will mention here that this episode includes the following items of interest: Our personal histories with "Speak & Spell" Discussion on the first two songs of the US tracklisting Your voicemails on Depeche Mode's debut Follow-up info on some of the topics from last time Now, here's the recycled stuff from last time..... Brian and Sarah are back, and they're ready to talk about Depeche Mode. And talk they do! This episode was about three hours long when they finished recording, so they decided it would be best to break it up into two separate episodes—but they're both considered Part 1 of the Speak & Spell album discussion.  Since this is the debut album by Depeche Mode, this first half of Part 1 covers things like the formation of the band, their early days of performing, their quest for a record deal and their eventual partnership with Daniel Miller. The hosts also discuss the typical album-related subjects such as the making of the album, the chart positions, and the release—and there's a surprisingly lengthy discussion about the album's release date.  This episode wraps up with Brian and Sarah sharing a lot of reviews, some of which come from the time of release, and some that are more contemporary.  It's a fun look back at the early days of the boys from Basildon, with a lot more to come!  Read more at http://www.permanentrecordpodcast.com/ Visit us at https://www.facebook.com/permrecordpodcast You can also find us on Threads: https://www.threads.net/@permanentrecordpodcast Check out some pictures at https://www.instagram.com/permanentrecordpodcast/ This BlueSky thing looks shiny and new: https://bsky.app/profile/permrecordpod.bsky.social Leave a voicemail for Brian & Sarah at (724) 490-8324 or https://www.speakpipe.com/PermRecordPod - we're ready to believe you!

The Basildon snooker player and 2015 World Champion chats with Ian Puckey about his life and career in snooker.

Thirsty Forest Animals [00:25] "Nape" Southeast of Saturn: Michigan Shoegaze/Dream Pop/Space Rock Third Man Records TMR-629 2020 All of this, yes. When I lived in NYC in the 90s, so many of my friends were from Michigan that it's amazing some stayed around to develop these sounds. Fauna [05:26] "To Ecstasy" Southeast of Saturn, Vol. 2: Midwest Shoegaze/Dream Pop/Space Rock Third Man Records TMR-750 2022 I also knew a lot of folks from Minneapolis, where Fauna hail from. This track is from their 1992 release Everafter. Glen Campbell [09:23] "Southern Nights" Southern Nights Capitol SO-11601 1977 Glen takes an excellent turn with Allen Toussaint's "Southern Nights" (https://youtu.be/mCscZ2tPFmI?si=0lfs02BFzVpS3aIf) originally recorded in 1975. Glen heard that version and was reminded of his childhood in Arkansas. This single made it to number 1 on the charts, and the album made it as high as 22 on the Billboard 200. You can see Glen playing one of his weirdo Ovation electric 12-strings here on The Midnight Special (https://youtu.be/A8VgyiMAJ9k?si=qdJzW9C6zMMHfQ70). Hawkwind [12:24] "Sonic Attack" Space Ritual United Artists Records UA-LA120-H2 1973 Epically epic space jams with interspersed spoken words as exampled here with "Sonic Attack" written by Michael Moorcock and recited by James Calvert. The sleeve art by Barney Bubbles is a thing of majesty. If space jams are your thing and you've never heard this album, seek it out. Amazingly, this album briefly dented the Billboard 200, making it to number 179. The album jacket is quite a work of art. If you'd like to see the full artwork, join me over on Patreon for video liner notes (https://patreon.com/youroldpalwill). Depeche Mode [17:24] "Dreaming of Me" Speak & Spell Sire SRK 3642 1981 What a difference a decade makes (as compared to Hawkwind)? The debut album by the boys from Basildon, and the only one recorded with Vince Clark (before he moved on to Yaz and subsequently Erasure). This album also just cracked the Billboard 200 here in the US, making it to number 192. This single did actually make it into the US Billboard dance charts, going as high as 47. The English Beat [21:01] "Sooner or Later" Special Beat Service I.R.S. Records SP 75069 1982 (1987 reissue) Everyday someone is born who has never heard "Sooner or Later". Perhaps you are one of those people who has never heard "Sooner or Later". If so, enjoy! This guitar sounds (and this video (https://youtu.be/c-7lBq0zuSM?si=18igG60AbOt239Kf)) have been permentantly etched into my musical brain thanks to the early days of MTV. John Zorn [24:36] "Hico Killer - Long Mile to Houston" Spillane Elektra Nonesuch 9-79172-1 1987 Gritty road story from master blues musician Albert Collins, tinged with Zorn & Co's trademark oddballness. Con Funk Shun [29:19] "Juicy" Spirit of Love Mercury SRM-13806 1980 The Bay Area's very own Con Funk Shun. If you've got a funk/soul album with a track called "Juicy" you know you've got to listen to it. Or at least, I do. Written by the band's guitarist and vocalist Michael Vernon Cooper. The Wonderland Singers [34:07] "Bats in the Belfry" Spooky Halloween Wonderland Records LP-293 1974 They just don't make organ music like they used to, and probably for good reason. At least the cover art is cool. Ustalost [35:20] "III" The Spoor of Vipers Gilead Media RELIC82 2017 Some blackened heaviness from this solo project by Will Skarstad of Yellow Eyes. For those of you who appreciate this style of music, seek out A Wandering Path: The Story of Gilead Media (https://youtu.be/gTZ1HcDtW-U?si=_ann3_mOUWXm2pCq) on a streaming service near you. Missing Persons [40:49] "Bad Streets" Spring Session M Capitol Records ST-12228 1982 This album made a strong impression on my when it came out and I still find myself thinking about it. For this episode's selection, I took a look at the track listings and immediately heard this song in my head. The album made it to number 42 on the Hot 100 and generated 4 singles: "Words (https://youtu.be/IasCZL072fQ?si=VO4X1DpThnxhHYup)", "Desitnation Unknown (https://youtu.be/1WDly1Oc_P4?si=5j2wgoC34DdwEtoU)", "Windows (https://youtu.be/v0vdk3YOvMM?si=31AgmgVzkx6cUeou)", and "Walking in L.A. (https://youtu.be/80WyBxo0Hto?si=DjM4k640jKUOTkhV)". Graham Parker and the Rumour [44:30] "Local Girls" Squeezing Out the Sparks Arista AB 4223 1979 Another heavy rotation video (https://youtu.be/taXvBivGcMo?si=wUPJk-7GLYH8XtUu) from the early days of MTV, despite being made in 1979. The album attempts to explore English suburbia. The album cover features some great typography by Gerard Huerta. Amazing Rhythm Aces [49:48] "Third Rate Romance" Stacked Deck ABC Records ABCD-913 1975 Some fun country-inflected rock from these Memphis gents, sounding almost perfectly mid-70s in a good way. The album reached 11 on the country charts and 120 on the Billboard 200. This single also hit 11 on the country charts and 14 on the pop chart. The band even made an appearance on the second season of Austic City Limits (https://youtu.be/pLz6nIvqB2c?si=nFcMK2tAEEfFjI8n). Love Barry "Byrd" Burton's finger pickin on this. Sly and the Family Stone [53:11] "You Can Make It if You Try" Stand! Epic BN 26456 1969 The mighty Sly Stone and family take a funky turn at this song originally recorded by Gene Allison (https://youtu.be/xiPI7d1y2Co?si=bo1XG2515eGJoYnn) and also covered by the Rolling Stones (https://youtu.be/jz4VO_NiY24?si=1OhUnqa0lAa5JEwM). Fans of Primal Scream will also recognize the tail end of the track that precedes this album closer. Jacksons [56:49] "Blame It on the Boogie" Star Fire Ronco R 3200 1980 As seen on TV! 18 original hits by 18 original artists! A compilation of hits, mostly from 1979. In honor of the late Tito Jackson, I had to go with this uptempo Jacksons single from 1978. Wet Willie [01:00:00] "Keep on Smilin'" Star Trackin' '76 Ronco R 1976-2 1976 As seen on TV! 20 original hits by 20 original artists! While 8 year old me would have been extremely excited about the "Theme from S.W.A.T.", I decided to go with Mobile AL's own Wet Willie. I could have also gone with Abba's "Waterloo" but loyal listeners already know how much I love Abba. Music behind the DJ: "Charade" by Charlie Barnet and his Orchestra

The Basildon snooker player and 2015 World Champion chats with Ian Puckey about his life and career in snooker.

Épisode diffusé pour la première fois le 6 avril 2023.Plus de 45 ans de carrière, et pourtant rien ne les arrête. Le 24 mars 2023, le groupe anglais Depeche Mode sortait son quinzième album, « Memento Mori », quasiment un an après la mort brutale de son claviériste et bassiste Andrew Fletcher. Formé en 1977 à Basildon, une petite ville de l'Essex au Royaume-Uni, le groupe précurseur de la musique électro-pop connaît des débuts chaotiques. Ce n'est qu'en 1981 que Depeche Mode rencontre un succès planétaire grâce au tube «I just can't get enough». Ni le départ d'Alan Wilder de ce quatuor en 1995, ni les excès de son chanteur et leader Dave Gahan, n'ébranlent la longévité du groupe, qui vend plus de 100 millions d'albums à travers le monde. En 2020, Depeche Mode faisait même son entrée au «Rock and Roll Hall of Fame» aux Etats-Unis, le prestigieux musée dédié aux légendes de la musique.Pour Code source, Emmanuel Marolle, chef du service Culture du Parisien, et Eric Bureau, journaliste au service Culture du Parisien, retracent le parcours de ce groupe mythique.

Geoff and Ben discuss Basildon Park and its long, and rather sad, history being passed between multiple uncaring owners. There is a light at the end of the tunnel as Basildon in it's palladian glory was restored by the Iliffes.

The boss of Waitrose has told Farming Today that the value of food needs reappraising and that in some cases higher prices should be considered. It comes as the supermarket announces that from 2035, it's UK produced meat, milk, eggs and fruit and veg will come from farms that practice regenerative farming. There is no precise definition for regenerative agriculture, but it focuses on improving soil health by reducing or removing cultivation, growing cover crops to protect the soil and using fewer chemical inputs. It can also involve re-integrating livestock into an arable system. So what will it mean for the 2300 farmers who supply Waitrose?The Government needs to take “urgent action” to meet it's own targets for cleaning up our waterways…according to a new report from the Office for Environmental Protection. The Government has committed to bring 77% of England's surface water bodies, like rivers and lakes, to a good ecological condition by 2027…but the OEP says without a significant strengthening in the enforcement of environmental law, that figure will be more like 21%.More than 500 workers at a tractor factory in Basildon in Essex are to go on strike across the next three weeks over pay.

She tells us what she loves and maybe doesn't love so much about her career, talking real talk about the entertainment industry's passion vs. money dilemma.

Parliament is at the centre of the UK constitution, passing law, representing citizens, and holding the government to account. However, the government's strong control of the House of Commons, and issues of democratic legitimacy in the House of Lords, have raised questions about whether parliament is an effective check on the executive.  So how well does parliament fulfil its constitutional role? Are MPs and peers able – and willing to protect the constitution? What reforms are needed to help ensure that they can?  Speakers: Rt Hon Sir David Lidington, former Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Rt Hon the Baroness Smith of Basildon, Shadow Leader of the House of Lords Rt Hon the Lord Wallace of Saltaire, Liberal Democrat Lords Spokesperson on the Cabinet Office  Dr Hannah White OBE, Director of the Institute for Government The event was chaired by Jess Sargeant, Associate Director at the Institute for Government. This event was part of the IfG and Bennett Institute's joint conference on the Future of the UK Constitution.

Plus de 45 ans de carrière, et pourtant rien ne les arrête. Le 24 mars 2023, le groupe anglais Depeche Mode sortait son quinzième album, «Memento Mori», quasiment un an après la mort brutale de son claviériste et bassiste Andrew Fletcher. Formé en 1977 à Basildon, une petite ville de l'Essex au Royaume-Uni, le groupe précurseur de la musique électro-pop connaît des débuts chaotiques. Ce n'est qu'en 1981 que Depeche Mode rencontre un succès planétaire grâce au tube «I just can't get enough». Ni le départ d'Alan Wilder de ce quatuor en 1995, ni les excès de son chanteur et leader Dave Gahan, n'ébranlent la longévité du groupe, qui vend plus de 100 millions d'albums à travers le monde. En 2020, Depeche Mode faisait même son entrée au «Rock and Roll Hall of Fame» aux Etats-Unis, le prestigieux musée dédié aux légendes de la musique.Pour Code source, Emmanuel Marolle, chef du service Culture du Parisien, et Eric Bureau, journaliste au service Culture du Parisien, retracent le parcours de ce groupe mythique.
