Seja talks to her guest Gaz Coombes (Supergrass) about what it's like supporting Robbie Williams in Australia, his current killer band members and his latest album ‘Turn the Car Around'. Gaz tells Seja about translating these songs to a live setting, building his home studio and how that sparked a big moment of songwriting energy, and how his record became a comfort and a friend during the UK lockdowns. They chat about the writing and recording process including trying to keep first takes, mumble tracks and crafting the ideas, how Lennon made Gaz feel ok to express all the big feelings, getting signed as a teenager and capitalising on the Britpop label. Gaz's strange story was illustrated by Davey Lane @daveyhellolane. Thank you also to Davey for helping to make the whole chat happen. All illustrations can be seen on instagram @hearsejpodcast or on the HearSej facebook page.

Australian singer/songwriter Emma Swift's highly acclaimed Blonde On The Tracks album, with guitar backing by life partner (and former podcast guest) Robyn Hitchcock, was her breakthrough recording. Emma swears that "singing Dylan's songs is like wearing a magical cape. Suddenly you have special powers. My job is to give each song a different emotional angle".Currently based in London and East Nashville ("where you go into the grocery store and everybody looks like an extra from The Last Waltz"), Emma is devoted both to Elvis ("I love a man in a leather suit") and The Traveling Wilburys ("Dylan was the curmudgeonly uncle of the group"). If you get the chance, we recommend catching her live set ("if people are laughing, engaged and sometimes crying, that's why I do it!'")Emma Swift was born in Australia but splits her time between the UK and the USA. Inspired by Joni Mitchell, Marianne Faithfull and Linda Ronstadt, her sound is a blend of Folk, Americana and Indie Rock.

Davey Lane is a red hot gun slinger. He joined You Am I as a youngster back in 1999 and since then has gone on to play with Crowded House, Todd Rundgren, Jimmy Barnes and a bunch of other big names in the biz, he's the sort of musician you could comfortably get to join any band and know he will instantly make it better. He has also been making solo records since 2014, he's a prolific artists who never stops creating, music is deep in his DNA. Hear us talk about our mutual love for The Beatles, Supergrass and Alan Partridge (who we think might actually be the real Steve Coogan), working with Producer Tony Buchen (who produced Davey's first solo record and my latest record), how to write a spoof Chili Peppers song and plenty more.

As Australia heads back into lockdown, friends of the show Seja Vogel and Davey Lane join me and our respective bottles of whiskey for a truly epic deep dive into Paul McCartney's ‘rockdown' LP McCartney III. Starting with an overview of Sir Paul's 21st century output so far, we dig into the record track by track and discuss, dissect, argue, sing and do some truly diabolical impressions along the way as we work our way through the latest work by the greatest pop artist of all time. This is a vast and by the end, totally unhinged, conversation between three confirmed Beatles tragics about not just this album, but what Paul McCartney's legacy means and what it's like to operate as an artist with literally no peers long after your heyday. Topics discussed include: - Pandemic pop songs - The differences in approach from McCartney to McCartney II and McCartney III - McCartney's drumming style and how ‘non-drummers' play drums - McCartney's lyric writing process and if that has changed since the 60s - Jeff Lynne's influence on the drum sounds - How McCartney's parental instincts inform his songwriting - How letting himself sound ‘old' on songs like Pretty Boys enhances their meaning - How the Josh Homme and Dominic Fike ‘reimagined' versions of songs from this record top the originals - Davey and Seja's recent experiences recording albums by themselves during lockdown - The challenge of collaborating when you have no peers - The best and worst of the McCartney Three-imagined album - How McCartney deals emotionally with the pandemic without ever mentioning it explicitly - Constructing the ultimate McCartney-centric supergroup - Who is the male Helen Mirren? - Should McCartney be singing about sex at 78? - Our picks for McCartney's best lyrics.

Hey folks when I first hatched this idea of starting a music Podcast, even before I recorded the first episode I had a dream list of people I would aim to get on the show. With episode #55 I reached the top of my list with Ashley Naylor from Melbourne's rock trio, Even. Ashley was incredibly generous with his time when we caught up and we covered many topics ranging from his own achievements during his almost 30-year career, to his extensive knowledge of music history. He spoke of his favourite music & artists and stories behind 'Even' and many other great Australian acts he has played with including Paul Kelly and The Church. Links: **Check out Ashley's recently released solo album on Spotify - Soundtracks, Vol. 1 ** Even's latest album on Spotify 'Satin Returns'. ** Even's recent cover album 'Down at the Shops' featuring cover's of The Kinks, The Beatles, Sunnyboys, Sex Pistols and more. **Ashley's version of Midnight Oil's song 'Hercules' on Bandcamp. All proceeds donated to Support Act. ** Shogun Studios presents The Beatles 50th Anniversary rooftop tribute. Recorded and filmed in Melbourne on January 30, 2019, this 5-song concert features stellar performances from the DIG-A-PHONYS: with Ashley Naylor, Davey Lane and more. An extra special THANK YOU to Ashley for being so generous with his time and for being so open with his stories and his knowledge. Ashley also confessed as to weather rock n' roll did in fact save his life... I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did, video of this conversation available on the Foxx on the Wire YouTube channel. Don't forget to follow the Podcast on Instagram and Facebook!

We’re on a break at the moment but I thought it would be interesting to revisit this episode from four years ago, our end of the year 2016 wrap up, featuring a bunch of different interviews touching on the big stories in music of the year, including the traumatic aftershock of the US election and the creeping dread of the incoming Trump administration, and the realisation that 2017 maybe was going to be getting worse not better. Thankfully I feel like we’re coming out of this particular hell year of 2020 with a more optimistic outlook on the next year, so I’m posting this today as a way of reflecting to some extent on the horrors of the last half decade and also a feeling that we might be turning at least one page onto a better future now... ------- 10 conversations about the highs and lows of music in 2016: Emmy winner Jeff Greenstein (Friends, Will & Grace) on when David Bowie guest starred on his first TV sitcom.

Americana singer/songwriter Melody Pool on finding her way back to her darkest emotional places to write her stellar album Deep Dark Savage Heart. ARIA-nominee Lisa Mitchell on struggling with how to listen to music in the modern age. Nashville-based Aussie ex-pat Emma Swift on being artistically radicalised by the election of Donald Trump. Filmmaker Brian Koppelman (Billions, Rounders, Ocean’s 13) on what music to listen to to get through the Trump blues, and what to expect from music in the coming years. Crowded House guitarist/keyboardist Mark Hart on the inside story of their triumphant reunion shows at the Sydney Opera House forecourt. You Am I guitarist Davey Lane on a year of playing with his living heroes and paying tribute to his dead ones.

Tim Rogers is a songwriter and musician. As frontman of Australian rock band You Am I, his writing and performance has been a huge part of my musical education from a young age, when I first heard the band's 1996 album Hourly, Daily blasting through the wall of my older brother's bedroom. Over the years, I have seen You Am I play more often than just about any other band, and I've been consistently impressed, as their professionalism and enthusiasm for the task at hand is peerless. Away from the band he has fronted for more than 25 years, Tim is an accomplished solo writer, musician and collaborator, most recently with The Bamboos and their 2015 album The Rules Of Attraction. In recent years, he has written a few non-fiction pieces for the likes of The Monthly and The Age, which is something he's planning to do more often. This conversation was recorded on a Saturday in late November, the morning after You Am I's performance at The Triffid in Brisbane. The band's tenth album, Porridge & Hotsauce, had been released a couple of weeks earlier. I love this album, and said as much in my review for The Australian, where I awarded it four-and-a-half stars out of five. Outside Tim's hotel room in inner-city Brisbane, it was approaching 35 degrees; he had closed the curtains, and it was so dark inside that I could barely see my notes on the table in front of me. After making me an instant coffee, Tim cracked open a Crown Lager, and we perched at a small table nearby a noisy fridge. Our conversation touches on how he and the band construct setlists ahead of long national tours; the different attitudes that Australian and overseas audiences bring to his work; how his on-stage persona has changed over the years; how he approaches writing songs about personal matters, and what he has learned about keeping some private material out-of-bounds in his public work; the different emotions that he experiences when starting and finishing songs, and why he sometimes messes with some of his most popular songs when performing them live. With a career now motoring along in its third unique decade, the remarkable résumé of Tim Rogers encompasses music, film, television, stage and the page. As the frontman of one of the essential Australian rock 'n’ roll bands, You Am I – alongside bandmates Russell Hopkinson on drums, Andy Kent on bass, and Davey Lane on guitar – have released ten studio albums to date. Three of these releases have debuted at number one on the ARIA charts in consecutive order – 1995’s Hi Fi Way, 1996’s Hourly, Daily and 1998’s #4 Record – with the albums also receiving multiple platinum and gold status for commercial sales. Tim is a published writer in the likes of The Age and The Monthly, and has encapsulated the passion of every AFL football fan as the face of the AFL final series on TV screens across the country. He has stood in front of 50,000 screaming rock fans, but is just as at home playing an acoustic guitar and joking with the locals in a community-run country town venue. In 2015, he released an album with The Bamboos, The Rules Of Attraction, and was named Double J's Australian artist of the year.

Australia's Mr Rock'n'Roll Davey Lane, lead guitarist for You Am I and singer/songwriter, returns for the third time to the podcast for our most epic Beatles chat yet. Armed with a bottle of Lagavulin, an acoustic guitar and the original multi-track recordings, we delve into the Fab Four's final masterpiece ‘Abbey Road'. How does the album function as the band's final mission statement? How did Her Majesty originally fit into the album? Which members of The Office cast should star in the Ricky Gervais directed Beatles movie? How does John Lennon's contribution to the album presage his solo work? What is the Beatles signature chord change? Why do people hate Paul McCartney, the man who wrote the most profound lyric in rock'n'roll? and what was Davey's experience seeing Sir Paul live earlier this year? Plus, we dig into the multi-track recordings of Something, I Want You (She's So Heavy), Polythene Pam and Oh Darling and look at the musical complexities of these classic tracks - the melodies of McCartney's bass-lines, the intricate Beatle harmonies and the singable guitar solos.

To celebrate 50 episodes of 'My Favorite Album', we welcome back one of the nicest guys and explosive guitars in Australian rock, Davey Lane, to explore side 1 of the White Album. We'll be rolling out episodes on the other three sides over the next month, alternating with regular episodes. Should the double album have been a tighter, more focused, single disc? Who plays drums on Back in the USSR? How does this album show John and Paul developing their own guitar styles? How did John Lennon rescue a song he hated? What was the first meta rock song? What was the Beatles favorite song on the album? Tune in next Thursday for side two.
In this deleted scene from our upcoming 50th episode special on the Beatles White Album, host Jeremy Dylan and Davey Lane (You Am I) talk about the short, odd, obscure Paul McCartney tune "Wild Honey Pie" and McCartney's relationship with his audience. Stay tuned for the full episode in four weeks time!
Oz rock's toppest bloke Davey Lane, axe-man for You Am I and now the man behind his solo debut album "Atonally Young", joins host Jeremy Dylan for a chat about a stone cold classic from Nick "Basher" Lowe - 1978's "Jesus of Cool". Along the way they break down classic tracks "I Love The Sound of Breaking Glass", "Shake and Pop", "Marie Provost", "Heart of the City" and "Nutted By Reality" and talk about Lowe's self-deprecating humor, his signature production style, close encounters of the Lowe kind, Coles mangoes and why Davey rerecorded the entire album himself.
