This conversation with legendary musician Tracey Thorn from one of The Shift's very early seasons is one of my very favourites. Back then covid was still a thing and these chats on zoom with incredible women were my life rafts. Anyway, we're revisiting Tracey because by the time you listen to this episode, Everything But The Girl will have very tentatively put their toe back on the stage at a couple of very small gigs in London. I'm not getting my hopes up too much (as I know Tracey doesn't loooove live performing, however, Tracey if you happen to read this, I know there are thousands and thousands of fans hungry for a tour...) The orginal show notes: Like many 80s kids, I grew up with today's guest. Tracey Thorn started early, forming The Marine Girls (once described as looking like they would “break your arm before they'd let you break their hearts”), while still at school, and Everything But The Girl, with her musical and life partner Ben Watt, whilst at university. Since then she's released three solo albums, three critically acclaimed memoirs - and had three children.  Her fourth book - My Rock'n'Roll Friend - about her 37 year on-off friendship with Lindy Morrison (drummer of Australian band The Go-Betweens) is my favourite yet. Tracey talks success, power, the “constant slog” of making women's voices heard and why equality is a numbers game. She also tells us why menopause made her feel like she'd gone mad, the painful-but-liberating process of ageing and what to do about your statement hair going grey (asking for a friend!). * You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at The Shift bookshop on Bookshop.org, including My Rock'n'roll Friend by Tracey Thorn and the book that inspired this podcast, The Shift: how I lost and found myself after 40 - and you can too, by me. * If you enjoyed this episode and you fancy buying me a coffee, pop over to my page on buymeacoffee.com. • And if you'd like to support the work that goes into making this podcast and get a weekly newsletter plus loads more content including exclusive transcripts of the podcast, why not join The Shift community, come and have a look around at www.theshiftwithsambaker.substack.com • The Shift (on life after 40) with Sam Baker is created and hosted by Sam Baker and edited by Juliette Nicholls at Pineapple Production.

Everything But The Girl is known for their hit “Missing” from the 90s (“like the deserts miss the rain. . . ”) The duo made up of Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt is back with their first album in 24 years. They talk about making choices that were best for them instead of chasing fame or money, including taking a long hiatus shortly after turning down a stadium tour with U2 in the 90s.  “We had a feeling that our status as a band got about as big as we were comfortable with it being. Even our own gigs had got bigger. And in some respects, we felt something was lost as well as gained,” Tracey Thorn explains.   During Everything But The Girl's long hiatus, Thorn and Watt got married, Thorn spent years being a stay at home Mom, she's written multiple autobiographical books, published columns and put out some solo records. Watt has worked as a DJ, producer, club owner and runs his own record label. Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/sound/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Musician and writer Ben Watt released his first single when he was just 19. In 1981, on his first day as a student at Hull University, he met Tracey Thorn and together they formed the duo Everything But the Girl – taking their name from the slogan of a local furniture shop. Over the next twenty years, they had 12 top 40 singles and 7 top 20 albums. Since then Ben has experimented in dance and electronic music, run his own record label and returned to songwriting with the release of two solo albums. Ben has also written two acclaimed books. The first about his experience of a life-threatening autoimmune disease and the second, a poignant portrait of his parents. Most recently, he's returned to making music with his wife Tracey Thorn in a new Everything But the Girl Album.

In this episode we welcome author and Guardian journalist Andy Beckett to RBP's Hammersmith HQ and ask him to discuss politics and pop from the late '70s to the present day. Andy talks about his first musical passions as a teenager in the early '80s, as well as about Rock Against Racism, Red Wedge and the politicised postpunk era in general. He recalls his first pieces for The Independent in the early '90s and explains how his broader interest in popular culture informs his perspective as an op-ed columnist and the author of When the Lights Went Out and Promised You a Miracle. In a week that saw Finland joining NATO and the indictment of Donald Trump, we ask what musicians can and can't do to change the world. The imminent new album from proto-Woke duo Everything But The Girl gives us an opportunity to address the enduring political ideals of Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn, plus we travel back to 1981 via clips from an audio interview with The Beat's David Steele and Ranking Roger, who talk to John Tobler about youth unemployment and the menace of nuclear weapons.

Zum ersten Mal dieses Jahr haben wir unsere wöchentliche Auswahl der fünf besten Tracks der Woche getroffen – und dürfen uns dabei auch über ein unerwartetes Comeback von Everything But The Girl freuen. Mitte der 90er-Jahre landete das Duo mit «Missing» einen Riesenhit, seit dem Jahr 2000 herrschte jedoch Funkstille. Mit «Nothing Left to Lose», ihrem ersten neuen Track seit 24 Jahren, zeigen Tracey Thorn und Ben Watt, die während ihrer musikalischen Pause zusammen geheiratet haben, dass bei ihnen während den letzten zweieinhalb Jahrzehnten keinesfalls musikalischer Stillstand herrschte. «Nothing Left to Lose» ist ein wunderbarer Start in das neue Musikjahr und Teil unserer «Sounds!

VicedoJ, autor de "Siluetas y Sombras, David Bowie" (Sílex ediciones) que se ha metido en el alma del personaje. El 7 de enero falleció Salvador Blesa, guitarrista del conjunto valenciano Los Milos y uno de los pioneros del rock and roll en España. Era el último integrante vivo del famoso trío, también compuesto por Vicente Castelló y Emilio Baldoví (Bruno Lomas).El de Everything But the Girl es uno de los grandes regresos que dejará 2023. El dúo formado por Tracey Thorn y Ben Watt publicará "Fuse", su primer disco en 24 años. El excantante de Genesis, Peter Gabriel, ha vuelto por la puerta grande con el lanzamiento de su primer single en siete años “Panopticom”. El single cuenta con la participación Brian Eno, el bajista Tony Levin, el baterista Manu Katché y el guitarrista David Rhodes y es el primer adelanto de su próximo álbum solista llamado “i/o”.Philip Selway anuncia en Spin que Radiohead «se reunirán de nuevo» a principios de este año.

Listen in as the host Andy Thornton, CEO of Greater Peoria Family YMCA talks with Ben Watt, Family Pastor at Eastside Bible Church about this weeks, weekly winning word, review! It's time to review our results and see where we are in accomplishing the things we desire. Oftentimes, we have a hard time seeing our own achievements and we devalue the small steps we've made in the right direction. The other thing that's hard is accepting the change that needs to be made when something isn't working well. Lastly, we don't want to face the music that what we said we were going to do a year ago simply didn't happen. This can make it very challenging to review our progress as often as we should. On the other hand, when you're rocking it and you're making huge strides towards your goals and dreams, it's important to see that too. There is nothing more inspiring or motivating than personal success. For all of these reasons and more, it's critical that you make a habit to review your progress as often as possible.

Episode 038 with Justin Martin Video Version: https://youtu.be/tsmSWtnKs9A Justin Martin is a San Francisco-based house DJ and producer whose best tracks and remixes tend to be lean, finely melodic, and a little playful. He debuted with the 2003 single "The Sad Piano." Released on Ben Watt's Buzzin' Fly label, played by Derrick Carter and Pete Tong, and licensed by Steve Bug, the single got Martin's recording career off to an impressive start. Additional singles for Buzzin' Fly and Utensil were out by the time Martin and Claude VonStroke co-founded the Dirtybird label, an outlet for both producers' solo tracks, Martin's partnership with Christian Martin (as Martin Brothers), and other artists such as Ardalan. Martin's debut album, Ghettos & Gardens, was released on Dirtybird in 2012 with new productions, a handful of remixes, and a "remake" of Goldie's "Kemistry" all part of the program. Justin moved away from dirty bird pursue in his new sound and focus on his productions. With this Justin had started his own label, whilst not ready yet, Justin continues to put the hard work into his new label by doing all the designing, editing, organizing you name it, his 100% effort has started and will continue to grow his label.

It is no secret that we live in the age of technology and information. Albeit there are many pros about having this data at our fingertips, there are also many cons. One major downside to “news at the click of a button” is our human brain is not equipped to absorb and successfully process at the levels we are exposed to. Facts and opinions start to intermingle and suddenly, we don't even know what is true or what to believe anymore. This situation breeds low morale, zaps our energy, and causes even the most positive people to be more negative. This is a serious issue because the world does not need more negative things or negative people. The world needs more ebullient people to make a positive impact. Tune in now to listen to our host Andy Thornton, CEO of the Greater Peoria Family YMCA and his guest Ben Watt, Founder of Next Step as they talk about the weekly winning word ebullient.

Bedside Reading

Join Tara George and Trisha Cantley as they talk about Ben Watt's memoir Patient. Yes it is that Ben Watt from "Everything But The Girl".  This is the at times terrifying story of a mystery illness which results in a young man having a near death experience and a prolonged and terrifying hospital stay.  We talk about our experiences of hospitals as doctors rather than patients, about the vulnerability of being ill, the effect of illness on relationships, what hospitals are good at and what they aren't.  We also thought a lot about the value of book clubs (Trisha is involved with the wonderful #geribookclub on twitter) and how we read - "real" books vs e-books vs audible and the pros and cons of all of these.

Like many 80s kids, I grew up with today's guest. Tracey Thorn started early, forming The Marine Girls (once described as looking like they would “break your arm before they'd let you break their hearts”), while still at school, and Everything But The Girl, with her musical and life partner Ben Watt, whilst at university. Since then she's released three solo albums, three critically acclaimed memoirs - and had three children. Her fourth book - My Rock'n'Roll Friend - about her 37 year on-off friendship with Lindy Morrison (drummer of Australian band The Go-Betweens) is my favourite yet.Tracey talks success, power, the “constant slog” of making women's voices heard and why equality is a numbers game. She also tells us why menopause made her feel like she'd gone mad, the painful-but-liberating process of ageing and what to do about your statement hair going grey (asking for a friend!).You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at Bookshop.org, including the book that accompanies this podcast, The Shift: how I lost and found myself after 40 - and you can too by Sam Baker and My Rock'n'Roll Friend by Tracey Thorn.The Shift (on life after 40) with Sam Baker is created and hosted by Sam Baker and edited by Emily Sandford.

Tracey Thorn, musician and writer, is best known as one half of the duo Everything but the Girl. Brought up in Brookmans Park, Hertfordshire, she bought her first guitar, a black Les Paul copy, when she was 16 and her first band was called the Stern Bobs. Shortly after, she formed her own all-female band, Marine Girls, before moving to Hull University to study English. On her first night there, she met her future husband, Ben Watt, and they went on to form Everything But the Girl. Between 1982 and 2000, they sold more than nine million records and toured Europe and America. Despite their success, Tracey did not always enjoy performing live. At 35 she left the pop world to look after her twin girls, who were followed by her son Blake. She took about seven years out to be a full time parent, but since then she has come back to song-writing, recording music and writing: her first memoir Bedsit Disco Queen was a best seller, and she has a fortnightly column in the New Statesman.This year Tracey was presented with the outstanding contribution to music prize, at the AIM independent music awards.
