Podcast appearances and mentions of Darryl W Bullock

We finally wrangled Liam back to talk to Jennifer about God, mewithoutyou, and other stuff she's interested in, instead of being stuck listening to people name a bunch of noise musicians she's never heard of. Liam, temporarily unburdened of his faustian bargain to have friends in his 40s but only be allowed to discuss movies, has a lot to say. Most of this episode is revolves around theology, but it does dip a bit into mewithoutyou and other bands out of Philly that I should know but don't because I've always been completely unmoored from this city I continue to gravitate to. You can read and hear more from Liam on various podcasts on his and (former guest) Joshua Alvarez's Cinepunx blog and podcast network. You can also of course hear Liam on the various podcasts contained within he and recent guest Doug Tilley's Cinema Smorgasbord podcast feed. They're all fun and none of them are 4 hours long. Also, we wanted to express again our deep sadness about the loss of Darryl W. Bullock and encourage anyone listening to at least check out our last talk about his books on the queer history of pop music, if not go an episode further back to hear him discuss some of the worst Christmas music ever recorded. We nervously joke a little about the circumstances, but it was a real shock and we still regret the fact we'll never be able to bring him back.

We were all deeply saddened by the news of Darryl's passing in the weeks after we first spoke to him. We all had a great time talking to him and were in reverence of the deep well of his knowledge and dedication to exploring the deepest corners of pop culture. After we had finished recording, we had all discussed speaking again in 2025, after he had finished his latest book, which he believed he would be finished later this year. Our sympathies go out to his friends, family, and his husband, who he repeatedly referenced and clearly adored. We would also like to thank the person who reached out to us in the comments of our last episode to inform us of the tragic news. In this episode we spoke at length about about the history of queerness in popular music, Darryl's books, and some of his other interests. His passion was palpable and we are so grateful to have had this conversation with him. For more information on Darryl and his work, you can follow the links provided in WFMU's obituary, pasted in full below: WFMU sadly lost one of its own this past December 23rd. From 2018 until early 2024, Darryl W. Bullock hosted 250 episodes of The World's Worst Records Show on the Sheena's Jungle Room stream. In addition to having a taste for Mrs. Miller records, Darryl was also a music writer who explored the relationship between pop music and LGBT issues in books like David Bowie Made Me Gay: 100 Years of LGBT Music, The Velvet Mafia: The Gay Men Who Ran the Swinging Sixties, and Pop, Pride and Politics: Music Theatre and LGBT Activism, 1970–2021. You can hear Darryl's shows here, and you can leave a remembrance here. Rest in peace, Darryl, and thanks for sharing your music with us.

Today we spoke to WFMU DJ and one of the last great music blogspot writers, Darryl W. Bullock, about some of the awful Christmas music he's presented on his radio program and blog over the years. We play a few clips of some grating little nepo babies slurring their way through asinine lyrics about the moon, saccharine nonsense about Vietnam, and some just plain weird and funny little numbers. We'll be back after the holidays with our second part, in which we dive a little deeper into Darryl's record collecting but also his latest career as a historian of LGBT/Queer music history. Brandon didn't tell us about that, so we were just listening to his radio show, but were excited to learn about his books David Bowie Made Me Gay and Queer Blues: The Hidden Figures of Early Blues Music

Séan spoke to the Author of "The Velvet Mafia: The Gay Men Who Ran The Swinging Sixties, about his new book.

Tosh and Kimley are joined by author Darryl W. Bullock to discuss his new book THE VELVET MAFIA: THE GAY MEN WHO RAN THE SWINGING SIXTIES. Rock ‘n’ roll as we know it would not exist if not for this group of gay men in the U.K. during the late fifties and sixties fondly referred to as “The Velvet Mafia.” Larry Parnes, Brian Epstein, Joe Meek, Lionel Bart, and Robert Stigwood are some of the major players in this book who left an indelible mark on the pop/rock world. At a time in the U.K. when being gay was illegal and when pop music could only be heard from pirate radio stations, they managed to push the needle forward and open up a culture that allowed us all to swing!

Darryl W. Bullock is the author behind books such as 'David Bowie Made Me Gay: 100 Years of LGBT Music' and 'Florence Foster Jenkins:The Life of the World's Worst Opera Singer'. We met up in a previous episode to discuss Crackers in Gloucester, and throughout the interview Darryl kept bringing up Bath Tap, a bar that he would go on to frequent when he became a mature age student and moved to Bath in the mid-90s. So... I invited him back to reminisce about life in his grotty, miserable bedsit, freaky sex with a fantasist, and enormous bags of free bacon....
