Babes in Toyland [00:31] "Dust Cake Boy" Sugar and Spice Foxcore Records F9 1992 From a UK bootleg featuring demos and studio outtakes from Babes in Toyland, and Peel Session tracks from Hole. Talk Normal [04:09] "In Every Dream Home a Heartache" Sugarland Rare Book Room Records RBR005 2009 Blistering Roxy Music cover (https://youtu.be/boo5PDjf1Es?si=j-vWw2hnjJrb98DJ) from this Brooklyn duo (https://youtu.be/BgdDDJEzhJA?si=rXvYkftPvYkA8bJ4). Suicidal Tendencies [10:17] "Won't Fall in Love Today" Suicidal Tendencies Frontier Records FLP 1011 1983 This is a 2005 reissue on red-ish transparent vinyl. Produced by Glen E. Friedman, who is better known as a photographer (http://burningflags.com/home/) famous for documenting the nascent punk and skateboard scene. Bonnie 'Prince' Billy [11:13] "Ease Down the Road" Summer in the Southeast Sea Note SN11 2005 Live album recorded while touring Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, and North Carolina. Helping out Will Oldham here are his brother Paul on bass, Peter Townshend on drums, Dave Bird and Matt Sweeney on guitar. Wayne Newton [16:58] "Summer Wind" Summer Wind Capitol Records T 2389 1965 A young Mr. Entertainment taking a pass at this Johnny Mercer number adapted from a German/Danish single by Gerthe Ingmann (https://youtu.be/d_wWy79DV0E?si=tyb8AIlZ0iv0PdJ7). I will forever associate this song with Martin singing this song (https://youtu.be/d_wWy79DV0E?si=tyb8AIlZ0iv0PdJ7) at the end of The Simpsons episode Bart of Darkness (S06E01). Thou [19:33] "Grissecon" Summit Gilead Media relic 31 2018 An excellent reissue of Thou's 2010 album Summit originally released on Southern Lord, along with material from The Archer and The Owle EP released on Robotic Empire. I still think it is amazing that Thou were the first metal band to appear on NPR's Tiny Desk (https://youtu.be/IUVYgCwpv7Y?si=tOq09uk2XAP45o5x) (minus lead vocalist Bryan Funck). Be-Bop Deluxe [27:55] "Heavenly Homes" Sunburst Finish Harvest ST-11478 1976 Some excellent melodic guitar dynamics on this track from Bill Nelson and co's third studio album. Guided by Voices [32:51] "Heavy Metal Country" Sunfish Holy Breakfast Matador OLE 185-1 1996 EP from somewhere around the Alien Lanes/Under the Bushes Under the Stars era.

Forty original hits by forty original artists. In mono! Earl-Jean of the Cookies sends this original recording of the Goffin and King hit shortly thereafter by Herman's Hermits. _ 1000 Homo DJs [38:56] "Supernaut" Supernaut Wax Trax! Records WAX 9133 1990 Peak Industrial cover from Al Journgensen and friends. Certainly not as good as the Sabbath orignal (https://youtu.be/nUb0QaDjP78?si=QtuvXBJhZNFU4yFM) but still makes an impact, though it does go on a bit. Matt Sweeney and Bonnie 'Prince' Billy [45:33] "Bed Is for Sleeping" Superwolf Drag City DC179 2005 Excellent collaboration between the two, with some excellent illustrations by Matt and Spencer Sweeney. Produced by Superwolfmen. Jefferson Airplane [49:42] "White Rabbit" Surrealistic Pillow RCA Victor LSP-3766 1967 Normally I would go with "Plastic Fantastic Lover (https://youtu.be/NUc8vkO3oxY?si=OBKbSnjAAEQsJMbK)", but as I've said before, sometimes you gotta go with the hits. Grace was evidently inspired by Miles Davis' Sketches in Spain when coming up with the music from this piece. Survive [52:11] "Sorceror" Survive RR7349 Relapse Records RR7349 2016 Some tasty synthwave from the band behind the Stranger Things sound.

Quintron and Miss Pussycat [57:10] "Witch in the Club" Swamp Tech Tigerbeat 6 MEOW119LP 2005 Organ magic from the one and only Quintron and the amazing Miss Pussycat. I'll have to remember this track for next Halloween. Music behind the DJ: "Quinn the Eskimo" by Arthur Greenslade and his Orchestra

Guitarist/singer/songwriter Bill Nelson combined Prog Rock, Glam and Art Rock into the unique sound that was Be-Bop Deluxe.

Hired as a tape op by EMI in February 1970, Leckie quickly found himself among rock royalty when his career began with work on Ringo's Sentimental Journey, followed quickly after with McCartney. But his major immersion with the cream of rock's musicians soon came with the All Things Must Pass project, placing him at the service of George Harrison and Phil Spector and with a team that included Ringo, Klaus Voormann, Eric Clapton, The Dominoes, Gary Brooker, Peter Frampton, Phil Collins, Gary Wright, Billy Preston and Badfinger, among others.  This conversation focuses on that landmark album. Joining as co-host is author/producer Jerry Hammack (The Beatles Recording Reference Manual series), with a cameo from Luther Russell. Jerry's latest book has just been published: Home Studio Recording - The Complete Guide.  John was a previous guest discussing the making of John and Yoko's respective Plastic Ono Band albums, as well as alongside his previous collaborators Derek Forbes (Simple Minds) and Ian McNabb (Icicle Works) for a conversation on Peter Jackson's Get Back film. His excellent recall of events he witnessed as well as insights as someone with some amazing career achievements (Roy Harper, Be Bop Deluxe, Pink Floyd, Wings, Radiohead, XTC, Stone Roses, and so on) to his credit make this conversation something special.   

"It's a light and tumble journey from the East side to the park.Just a fine and fancy ramble to the zoo.But you can take the cross-town bus if it's raining or it's cold.And the animals will love it if you do"...Ever been to the Zoo after Midnight? Please join me on this week's Red Eye Edition of Whole 'Nuther Thing and hear what you've been missing.

Today's much-requested episode of Electronically Yours features a true legend, Bill Nelson. He is a singer, guitarist, songwriter, producer, painter, video artist, writer and experimental musician of the highest order. He rose to prominence as the chief songwriter, vocalist and guitarist of the rock group Be-Bop Deluxe and later Red Noise, and has been described as "one of the most underrated guitarists of the seventies art rock movement". His passion for innovation and electronic music has further enhanced his stellar reputation, and his appetite to strive for new work is undiminished… This episode is part 1 of 2… Ladies and gentlemen – meet the hyperdreamer himself - Bill Nelson! p.s. Apologies for the less-than-perfect quality of the interview recording on this episode, Bill and I were only able to speak over the phone whilst I recorded it at my end.

Welcome to Live From Progzilla Towers Edition 413. In this look back at my remaining favourite albums of 2021 we heard music by Afro Celt Sound System, Cosmograf, Dec Burke, Errobi, Diablo Swing Orchestra, Drifting Sun, Be Bop Deluxe, Big Big Train, Giraffe, Isildurs Bane & Peter Hammill, Discipline, Lee Abraham, Karcius, Public Service Broadcasting, Tillison Reingold Tiranti & Gary Kemp.

Be Bop Deluxe are such an underrated band, and Ships in the Night was the closest they got to a real hit. Bill Nelson fronted this band from 1972-78, and in that time they released five of the most underappreciated studio albums in British music, as well as a great live album. Glam, progressive rock, new wave, hard rock and blues; huge riffs, blazing solos – they do it all. This video looks at what makes the Ships in the Night work: lyrics, chords production and arrangement, as well as looking a bit more widely at the band as a whole. If you already know the band, watch this for a close look at and analysis of their biggest hit, and if they're completely new to you – congratulations, you've now been introduced to a great song and a great band!

"A winter's day, in a deep and dark DecemberI am aloneGazing from my window, to the streets belowOn a freshly fallen, silent shroud of snowI am a rock, I am an islandAnd a rock feels no pain, and an island never cries"No need to feel alone, please join me for the Sunday Edition of Whole 'Nuther Thing because here in Southern California it feels like Summer on a bright November Day.I'll be serving up tasty morsels from Phoebe Snow, Roxy Music, Be Bop Deluxe, America, Cat Stevens, Little Feat, Steely Dan, Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen, Bonnie Raitt, Justin Hayward, Jimi Hendrix, Pat Metheny, Black Crowes, Robin Trower, Renaissance, The Doors, Beatles, Joni Mitchell, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Bon Jovi, Led Zeppelin, Tim Buckley, Nilsson, Doobie Brothers and Simon & Garfunkel.

Come take a ride with me on this week's Prog-Watch and we'll drive into a Brave New World!

Dean Martin played the drunk lawman in Rio Bravo (https://youtu.be/WPO12ZzGS84) and Robert Mitchum played the drunk lawman in El Dorado (https://youtu.be/OfGvw2bSgTY). The Beach Boys [28:02] "In My Room" Best of the Beach Boys Capitol Records DT 2545 1966 Seems as though one might take this as a positive outlook on the current situation. The Beach Boys [30:17] "Don't Worry Baby" Best of the Beach Boys, Vol. 2 Capitol Records DT-502706 1967 Brian's attempt to capture the magic of The Ronette's "Be My Baby" (https://youtu.be/5KH6e_6O_dE). Not bad, but not quite. The Beau Brummels [33:06] "Here We Go Again" The Best of the Beau Brummels, 1964-1968 Rhino Records RNLP 101 1981 The Bay Area's own Beau Brummels with one of their singles that sadly failed to chart but is pretty awesome. Also, The Beau Brummelstones?! Merle Haggard [36:58] "Mama Tried" The Best of the Best of Merle Haggard Capitol ST 511082 1972 According to the sleeve, Merle had a toy terrier named WaWe, who is pictured on the back cover. Her sone Pepper is on the front cover. You need to know these things, right? The Stylistics [39:08] "I'm Stone in Love with You" The Best of The Stylistics AVCO AV-69005-698 1975 When I grow up to be a man? Isaac Hayes [42:28] "I Stand Accused" The Best of Isaac Hayes Enterprise ENS-7510 1974 Some solid soul to be sure. Herman's Hermits [49:21] "Sea Cruise" The Best of Herman's Hermits MGM E-4315 1965 It's no Huey Piano Smith/Frankie Ford (https://youtu.be/jO2t50679Vs) rendition, but not bad for a bunch of limeys. Music behind the DJ: "Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes" by Terry Baxter and his Orchestra

Albums and All That, Starting with the letter A as in Alpha, and some that begin with the letter B as in Bravo From At Home with Their Hits (The Partridge Family) to Barry Lyndon (Music from the soundtrack to) The Partridge Family [01:12] "I Think I Love You" At Home with Their Greatest Hits Bell 1107 1972 Whoops. Don't know how this one slipped through the cracks, but I'm glad I caught it. Be-Bop Deluxe [04:05] "Adventures in a Yorkshire Landscape" Axe Victim Harvest 11689 1974 From the debut Be-Bop Deluxe. Very Bowie derived, but cool things throughout. The B-52's [07:40] "Downtown" The B-52's Warner Bros. BSK 3355 1979 Reached number 59 on the Top 200. Wonderful pop junk, to borrow a phrase from Robert Christgau, here with the band borrowing from Petula Clark. Lunachicks [10:35] "Cookie Core" Babysitters on Acid Blast First BFFP 52 1990 I mean really, who doesn't love cookies? I always loved seeing them live (https://youtu.be/20G3XW03ofY) back in my NYC days. One of the best was when they played with L7 at CBGBs shortly after my 22nd birthday. Camarata conducting the Kingsway Symphony Orchestra and Chorus [13:56] "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor" Bach Spectacular London Records SPC 21078 1972 In Phase 4 Stereo! Quadrophonic, you ask? Nope... just using 10 channels, and eventually 20 channels, with "extreme" stereo mixing. Saar Chamber Orchestra [23:22] "Contrapunctus 14 - Harpsichord" Bach: Art of the Fugue Musical Heritage Society MHS 657/658 Budget Bach from the Musical Heritage Society. Arthur Loesser [26:55] "No. 1: Prelude and Fugue in C Major, BWV 846" Well-Tempered Clavier, Books I & II The Cleveland Institute of Music CRC 2001 Turns out Cleveland does more than rock. AC/DC [31:09] "Shoot to Thrill" Back in Black Atlantic SD 16018 1980 Got this album for my 12th birthday. I was told many times by my mother to turn it down. Mission accomplished. Presumably a 25x Platinum album. Shift those units! The O'Jays [36:28] "Love Train" Back Stabbers Philadelphia International Records KZ 31712 Gotta go with this hit in these times. Gong Kebyar, Sebatu [39:32] "Gilak" Bali: Gamelan Music from Sebatu Archiv Produktion 2533 130 1972 According to the liner notes, this is an ancient ritual temple dance performed by warriors before a fight. John Coltrane Quartet [47:05] "You Don't Know What Love Is" Ballads Impulse! A-32 1963 (1974 reissue) A classic from the American songbook, written for an Abbott and Costello flick "Keep Em Flying" from 1941. Of course, it took Miles Davis to make it a jazz standard, and Coltrane and co to take it to the next level. The Three O'Clock [52:19] "Sorry" Baroque Hoedown Frontier FLP 1010 1982 From the frontlines of the Paisley Underground, we'll go with The Three O'Clock's cover of The Easy Beats "Sorry", because of course Angus and Malcolm Young's older brother George co-wrote "Sorry" (https://youtu.be/1o4k9nC3CL0). How's that for a callback. The Munich Bach-Orchestra [54:41] "Concerto for Two Harpsichords and Orchestra in C-Minor" Music from the soundtrack of Barry Lyndon Warner Bros. K56189 1975 One of the finest films to be shot by candlelight. And hey, another call back: Bach + Harpsichord. We're killing it! Music behind the DJ: "Inspector Clouseau's Theme" by Henry Mancini

Author Simon Reynolds discussing Shock and Awe: Glam Rock and Its Legacy, from the Seventies to the Twenty-First Century with David Eastaugh A Guardian, Sunday Times, Mojo, Daily Telegraph and Observer Book of the YearLonglisted for the Penderyn Music Book Prize 2017 As the sixties dream faded, a new flamboyant movement electrified the world: GLAM! In Shock and Awe, Simon Reynolds explores this most decadent of genres on both sides of the Atlantic. Bolan, Bowie, Suzi Quatro, Alice Cooper, New York Dolls, Slade, Roxy Music, Iggy, Lou Reed, Be Bop Deluxe, David Essex -- all are represented here. Reynolds charts the retro future sounds, outrageous styles and gender-fluid sexual politics that came to define the first half of the seventies and brings it right up to date with a final chapter on glam in hip hop, Lady Gaga, and the aftershocks of David Bowie's death. Shock and Awe is a defining work and another classic in the Faber Social rock n roll canon to stand alongside Rip it Up, Electric Eden and Yeah Yeah Yeah.

Roger talks about seeing Be Bop Deluxe - his favourite band from his teenage years - with support from the brilliant punk poet John Cooper Clarke, at Sheffield City Hall, in February 1978.

Bill Nelson talks about his life in music, Be Bop Deluxe and his current solo work. More details on the new Be Bop Deluxe boxsets can be found at Cherry Red.

The possibly despicable term “art rock” is where pop, prog & rock meet, with a generous layer of quirk embedded throughout. Art rock is pop without restraint, prog with good table manners, rock stretching its creative fibers beyond the norm. And yet, gray areas abound!...

Attention then turns to featured writer Tim Cooper and his Heathen-era interview with David Bowie. New library pieces under the spotlight include a 1962 letter to Record Mirror from Frank Sinatra fan Fred Dellar; Paul Morley's 1977 NME live review of Little Feat; the return of jazz giant Dexter Gordon; and an unsavoury encounter with the Prodigy. Produced by Jasper Murison-Bowie Pieces discussed: Be-Bop Deluxe audio, Wu-Tang Clan, Phantoms of the Hip-hopera, Ol' Dirty Bastard, David Bowie, Beach House, The Who's Quadrophenia, Frank Sinatra, Hank Ballard, The Who, Diana Ross, Little Feat, Dexter Gordon, Rickie Lee James, the Prodigy, Old and New Prog and the influence of Bobby "Blue" Bland on Americana.

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!

Musician and journalist James Jackson Toth launched an experiment in dedicated listening; sitting and listening attentively to just one album a week. He failed. He tells us why, and how we may have too much music to listen to. You stop hearing music at a certain point and you start hearing decisions.
