New electronic sounds from Blawan, the latest from Cambodian pop outfit Dengue Fever and something just released from instrumental heavies The Budos Band. Plus our interview with The Wedding Present's David Gedge

1987: The year of the mega-album (Bad...Faith...The Joshua Tree...Appetite For Destruction...The Zit Remedy...) big, booming, glossy pop singles, hair metal, mall pop and hip-hop. But, lurking beneath that "high '80s" sheen were some of the finest alternative songs of the O3L era. That, dear listener, is where we come in. In 1987's indie world, it didn't get much bigger than The Wedding Present, led by singer/songwriter/guitarist AND this week's Third Lad, David Gedge. The Weddoes, as they are affectionately known by fans, scored a #1 indie LP with their debut full-length, George Best, and occupied five spots (including four in the Top 10) on the legendary John Peel's year end Festive Fifty list. Over the next decade, The Wedding Present would remain a vital fixture on the scene, racking up 16 UK Top 40 hits. In 1992 alone, they tied a record set by Elvis Presley by releasing twelve Top 30 singles within a twelve-month period. Since then, the ever-prolific self-professed "workaholic" Gedge has released a consistent string of records both under The Wedding Present and Cinerama monikers, right up to the brand new Weddoes triple album 24 Songs. 24 Songs collects the twelve 7" singles (once every month) that Gedge and band released during 2022. This remarkable set is now available from Happy Happy Birthday To Me in the US and Clue Records in the UK. https://hhbtm.bandcamp.com.

I've spoken to tonnes of my favourite songwriters since this podcast came to life almost two years ago. There was Bob Mould on episode 32. Jon Spencer on episode 49. Lee Ranaldo on episode 20. But there's really very few songwriters whose music has mattered to me during the course of my life quite like the many songs written by David Gedge, the sole constant in The Wedding Present for almost forty years now.  This is an episode I'm really grateful I got to add to the ever growing podography and while the majority of the following conversation concerns the group's coming 24 Songs album - a collection of all the tracks from 2022's 7” single a month series due on May 19th - we squeeze a lot more into our thirty minutes or so together; the recruitment of Sleeper guitarist Jon Stewart into the Wedding Present ranks, the confirmation that David does indeed request a dog on the Wedding Present rider, comic books, the brilliance of Brighton... All sorts of stuff. Enjoy!

The alternative side of Bond’s sound.  This week we interview four musicians who together contributed to the 2020 album of James Bond cover songs, 'Not From Where I’m Standing'. Organised by David Gedge of The Wedding Present, the new album involves Gedge’s colleagues and friends from 35 years in the music business.  Join us as Gedge and friends recount the origins of the album, some challenges of covering the Barry songs of the ‘60s, how they recorded some of these tracks in low-tech lockdown, why they chose mental health advocates CALM to receive the profits of this charity album, and what they’re looking forward to post-pandemic.  Listeners can win a vinyl or CD copy of the album - be sure to listen for how to enter. The recording took place on January 4th, 2021 in the UK, USA, Spain, and New Zealand.  Paul Atkinson is a co-founder of MI6-HQ.com and the magazine MI6 Confidential  David Leigh runs thejamesbonddossier.com  David Lewis Gedge is an English musician best known for his work in the influential indie rock group The Wedding Present, of which he is the singer, guitarist, principal songwriter, and only ever-present member. http://www.theweddingpresent.co.uk  Terry de Castro was the bassist for London-based indie trio Goya Dress from 1993-1998 and for Cinerama and The Wedding Present from 1998-2010 (and still stands in on occasion). She lives in Los Angeles where she records music, teaches yoga and works for a documentary production company.  Missy Tassles (aka Diane) is lead singer and guitarist of The Sleazoids, a raucous, trashy, garage punk trio, aiming for somewhere between The Cramps and The Fall. Their debut LP 'Insane Escapades' was released in 2018 and, if it hadn't been for some pesky germs, The Sleazoids would have recorded their second album by now. Rest assured, as the world allows, we'll get back to playing loud music, drinking beer and having a good time! https://thesleazoids.wordpress.com/  Shaun Charman was the original drummer of The Wedding Present from 1985-1987, now guitarist with Brighton based Jetstream Pony, self-titled album out now on Spinout Nuggets and Shelflife Records. https://www.facebook.com/jetstreamponyband  This podcast is copyright Pretitles LLC © 2021

Una broma en un ensayo tocando música made in película de James Bond y... todo desemboca en un disco en donde la propia banda y artistas del entorno de los proyectos de David Gedge como The Wedding Present y Cinerama acaban haciendo todo un disco. Luego da la casualidad de que uno de los recién llegados a la banda es fan de Louise Wener y la líder de Sleeper acaba uniéndose a la historia leyendo a su modo la canción que interpretaba Shirley Bassey en "Thunderball". Entrevista a Damon Albarn hablando de Gorillaz, de qué canciones de una aventura podrían haber casado en la otra y la respuesta a las preguntas de sus favoritos (canción y álbum) a la par que habla de su introducción en el mundo de las maquinitas que fabrican sonidos y ritmos. También es noticia del día que se confirma por parte del propio protagonista que habrá en diciembre "McCartney III". En tanto será en Apple TV donde se vea el documental "Velvet Underground" con imágenes nunca vistas y ensayos de la banda de Reed y Cale aparte de la presencia de Warhol. Además The Damned anuncian gira con la alineación titular de aquellos dos discos de 1977 para celebrar 45 años de vida. Novedad internacional es un nuevo tema del disco de directo de Keith Richards junto a X-Pensive Winos, el avance del próximo trabajo de El Perro del Mar y un inédito para la edición deluxe del último disco de Nada Surf. Novedad de aquí es el estreno de Aiko El Grupo, el retorno de Celestial Bums dos años después.y la mirada vaquera de Minner's Son. Recordamos que hoy (el día que toca en Bilbao) salía el recopilatorio de Nacho Vegas y más atrás en el tiempo el retrovisor nos llevó a la visita de Idealipsticks con su disco "Sins and sons".

Fresh from a trip to the Highlands, Graham reflects on almost meeting Edwyn Collins, Charles wonders what we might expect from a musical based on songs by David Gedge and The Wedding Present and both take a look at the appeal of the Festival of Brexit.

Some people get all the breaks. How many of us have friends who can just fly by the seat of their pants, take risks and still come out at the top of their career game? If you’ve ever wondered how they do it, we’ve got an inside scoop today from indie-rock legend David Gedge! Gedge is one of Rico’s personal musical heroes, but more germaine to our purposes here, he’s is an inspiring example of pulling off a long-term career, on your own terms. And yes, it’s still a lot of hard work.We also have some news, dear listeners, and it’s well...not so fun. A few episodes from now, sad to say, we will be bidding you adieu. After two years and just over a hundred episodes, Safe For Work has reached its end. Our final episode will air March 30th. You’ll still be able to hear Liz co-hosting her long-standing Wondery show Satellite Sisters. And in addition to hearing Rico as a fill-in host on L.A.’s own KCRW, he’s writing and producing a music miniseries for Wondery that will air later this year.Meanwhile we’re still taking your calls this episode. First up is listener Jess whose boss says she “advocates too much for her staff.” We’ll also play some Ling Bingo, by parsing the phrase, “I’m a little confused,” A.K.A. “You’re an idiot.”Finally, Liz and Rico chat with listener Nikki who’s trying to decide if she should stay at her stressful job or leave for a new gig, even though she may be addicted to the adrenaline of her current situation.As always, if you've got a burning workplace question and need some advice, don't hesitate to send us an email (that email, unsurprisingly, is also Safe@Wondery.com). You can also find us on Twitter, we’re @SafeFor Work. Don't forget to follow our sage hosts on Twitter, too; they're @SSLiz and @RicoGagliano.

Empezamos la segunda temporada de 'Common People' con un especial dedicado al BAM, el festival de música independiente que se celebra desde hace 26 años en les Festes de la Mercè de Barcelona. Para ello, nos visitan en los estudios su director, Marc Campillo, y una de las bandas que tocan este año: los francesesHonolulu, que además interpretan en directo un par de canciones: 'Boys in the Park' y 'Bats'. Por si fuera poco, hablamos telefónicamente con uno de los cabezas de cartel: los históricos The Wedding Present, a través de su alma matter David Gedge. Escuchamos también un reportaje con los británicos Temples, que nos explican los detalles de su inminente tercer disco, 'Hot Motion', que sale el 27 de septiembre. Y completamos con la última canción de Editors, y la recomendación final que nos traen los malagueños Arista Fiera, que nos sugieren acabar el programa con los gallegos Linda Guilala, que están de gira este mes.

David Gedge in conversation talking about life in music, John Peel and much much more.  The Wedding Present are a British indie rock group originally formed in 1985 in Leeds, England, from the ashes of the Lost Pandas. The band's music has evolved from fast-paced indie rock in the vein of their most obvious influences The Fall, Buzzcocks and Gang of Four to more varied forms. Throughout their career, they have been led by vocalist and guitarist David Gedge, the band's only constant member.

The Thin Air podcast returns with a distinguished elder statesman of indie rock - David Gedge of The Wedding Present. John Peel favourites and jangle-pop pioneers The Wedding Present emerged from Leeds in the late 1980s with their scrappy and lyrical debut album 'George Best'. A unique blend of bitter melodrama and everyday mundanity, it's an urgent record that revels in the melancholy of small town life. From their C86 roots the band went to be bona fide indie-popstars, charting no less than 12 singles in the UK top 40 in 1992, and becoming a regular anomaly in the shiny world of Top Of The Pops. To date Gedge has released nine albums under the Wedding Present name, with most recent LP 'Going, Going...' sounding as vital and clever as their earliest material. For the Thin Air podcast, David Gedge spoke to Danny Carroll in the midst of a 'George Best' 30th anniversary tour. Looking back on the debut album, he speaks about the personal nature of the songs, the development of the band's sound and the connection between his past and present.

Welcome to another episode with 2 new music tracks from The Wedding Present and Black Belt Eagle Scout and the quiet beautiful Antony and The Johnsons. Like what you hear? Why not suggest some of your favourite music for us to play on the show here? Track Listing Kennedy The Wedding Present Ghosts Made in Heights Margate Sports Team Soft Stud Black Belt Eagle Scout Fistful of Love Antony & The Johnsons Hannah Ray La Montagne Brassneck The Wedding Present The Wedding Present – Bizarro Another great bookend from way in the North with anger management candidates The Wedding Present, fronted by mathematician David Gedge. I've long been a fan of the album Bizarro from my younger days, and I think it still sounds fresh today. Above all, it won Tobin's approval. Gedge has been prolific in output since the band's first LP, George Best. His solo works, instrumental material and the quite frankly weird Ukrainski Vistupi V Johna Peel. This was a mix of Peel Sessions and Ukrainian folk tunes inspired by the guitarist's Ukrainian father. The "Weddoes" latest release (at time or writing) is the 2017 Home Internationals EP. The boy Gedge has written some of the best love songs of the Rock n Roll era. You may dispute this, but I'm right and you're wrong – John Peel Fistful of Love from Antony & The Johnsons was very well received on the show. Front of the stage is Anohni, formerly Antony Hegarty, hailing from England but now firmly resident in the US after moving to the US (San Francisco Bay Area) with her parents at the age of 10 years old. What happened next to Anohni? Nine years later she relocated to the other side of the US and enrolled in the Experimental Theater Wing of the New York University. After forming Antony and The Johnsons with a mixed bag of musicians they went on to gain success with the Mercury Music Prize winning album I Am a Bird Now in 2005 as Tobin mentioned in the show. This is actually my favourite track in this episode of the show. There can't be many music fans who haven't heard Ray LaMontagne's Trouble album, it's a treasure, along with a lot of his wider body of work. Sadly, I believe he has either already or will shortly be touring for the last time in the UK. I stand to be corrected on this. From the Bottom of the Record Box recommendation: load up some of Ray's albums on your iPhone, purchase a decent bottle of bourbon and enjoy a lost weekend. New Music Selection Released only this month Sports Team's humorous and punchy single Margate hooked us from the start. The slight Jagger-esque vocals and mannerisms on the accompanying video are both comedic and authentic. There are echoes of The Velvet Underground in here, along with Psychedelic Furs and Television as we eluded to on the show. For me, this track was reminiscent of Television's 1977 track Venus, albeit more aggressive and arresting. One thing's for sure, it sums up British seaside resorts, and Margate is no different. We will definitely be keeping an eye on Sports Team for further releases.

In Australia alone thousands of people have an out of hospital cardiac arrest each year. Only 10% survive. It’s a very scary and dangerous rollercoaster. No better place to talk about that than under a real rollercoaster under the Sydney Harbour Bridge with Paul Middleton. Matt went to Luna Park in Sydney a few weeks back. Not to ride the roller coaster nor knock coconuts off their stands for a teddy bear, but to attend the Resus@ThePark conference. He took a few minutes to sit down outside in the sunshine with Paul Middleton the conference convenor. Of course there was hammering and drilling as some adjustments were made to the Vivid Sydney Festival set up. Which was quite fitting as Paul Middleton (@Scientosis) is building something too. A future in which anyone who has a cardiac arrest in Australia is likely to get effective bystander CPR and defibrillation. We know this stuff is important. We know that early CPR and defib makes a difference. As a former Australian Resuscitation Council (New South Wales) Chair Paul understands that this is a team sport. A big team. So now he is trying to drive change in the greater community through the charity Take Heart Australia. This means getting almost everyone in the country to realise that cardiac arrest affects everyone and that everyone has a role in helping. Everyone is a responder. We also know that even as nurses, doctors and paramedics it’s just not that easy to ‘shock’ someone, especially the first time you do it. So whats the first thing Paul needs to do to get 24 million Australians over the fear of stepping in, the fear of electrocuting people? Ask for help of course! It is no small thing trying to bring about change on a huge scale. This is a public health initiative with parallels with what Mark Wilson is trying to do with the GoodSam App. (See Jellybean 55 with Mark Wilson from SMACCdub) Mark spoke ‘via satellite’ to the audience at Luna Park. Such imaginative approaches are to be encouraged. Or would you rather sit back and wait for a government funded public health campaign to sort it all out? Nothing wrong with a grass roots movement. Resus@ThePark will be back next year. Check it out.

Big thank you to David Gedge and the Wedding Present with their version the Cockney Rebel Classic “Make Me Smile” from their 1990 Corduroy EP

The agony uncle for million of late 80s teens, David Gedge was the singer-songwriter who mapped the pain of failed relationships. The Wedding Present's classic album 'George Best' has just turned 30 believe it or not!

John & Pat examine the work of David Gedge via the two bands he’s in who both recorded the same album in different styles. Then they forget which band is which and one of them has a stroke.
