Ah, the bizarre love/hate life of the New Order fan. What's your most loved and least favorite song on Low-Life?! For our fourth Request Episode Election, we went through dozens of listener suggestions to nominate Joe Jackson's Look Sharp, Jane's Addiction's Ritual de lo Habitual and this 1985 Manchester classic, which won in a landslide election. While half of us moaned about the album choice from our mystery nominators (MIA), we all had lots of great memories to share of adoring and rolling our eyes at NO. Superfan Sam hosted and held up lots of New Order vinyl, old tshirts were dusted off and Adam delivered an avalanche of guest rankers, starting with internationally-loved San Diego superstars Koi Division, who donned their iconic fish heads for a filmed interview. Days later, he visited Gold Diggers Sound in Los Angeles to chat with Dave Trumfio of the synth-lovin' Pulsars, whose lone 1997 debut/farewell album has finally recently been reissued. The two full interviews will be on our Youtube channel. Just you wait. In addition to getting tribute band opinions from San Francisco's Temptation and San Diego's Thieves Like Us (Substance responded too late to have their support for "Sunrise" be included), he got first hand accounts of 91X FM's infamous 1985 year-end countdown switcheroo from DJs Dwight Arnold, Pam Wolf and Billy Bones.

On this week's Talkhouse Podcast we've got a couple of guys who are big parts of hardcore's current wave: Julian Cashwan Pratt of Show Me The Body and Graham Sayle of High Vis. Show Me The Body was conceived when Pratt was still in high school in New York City, enamored of the town's history of aggressive punk—and that music's propensity for political lyrics. But Show Me The Body, like other current hardcore bands making waves in the past few years, doesn't stick with the genre's typical signifiers. For one, Pratt's primary instrument is banjo, and it's attached to sounds that draw not only from hardcore's past, but also electronic blasts of noise and even some hip-hop. Show Me The Body's latest album is called Trouble The Water, and it's both tense and intense. It's a hell of a listen, though the band needs to be seen live to fully experience it. The other half of today's conversation is Graham Sayle, whose band High Vis formed in London around 2016, and whose version of hardcore dials in a healthy dose of British post-punk. They've been described as a mix of Factory Records and Cro-Mags—that'd be the legendary label that spawned Joy Division and New Order plus the legendary New York hardcore band—which is sort of perfect. There are elements of goth in there as well, but with a smart, sneering energy that's tough to deny. Show Me The Body and High Vis just started a US tour together, and they collaborated on a song and accompanying video that was just released on an EP called Corpus II EP II. You can find tour dates at showmethebody.com, and check out a little bit of their collaborative track, called “Stomach,” right here. As hardcore dudes often do, these guys chatted about what hardcore means to them, including that sense of community you can't get anywhere else. They also talk about how having a child has changed Pratt's outlook a bit, but how he's still fired up politically and ready to put it all out there on the stage. Enjoy. Thanks for listening to the Talkhouse Podcast, and thanks to Julian Cashwan Pratt and Graham Sayle for chatting.

POWER, CORRUPTION & LIES – NEW ORDER with special guest Lindsay Reade. 'Power, Corruption & Lies' cemented New Order's place as the most exciting dance-rock hybrid in music. Released on Factory, the album stands as a thrilling introduction to a band finding its feet and leaping ahead of the pack. With special guest LINDSAY READE. We were delighted to welcome Lindsay Reade as our guest, who was at the heart of the vast cultural changes that took place within Manchester and its evolving music scene during the past three decades. Lindsay worked at Factory Records, sang lead vocals on a Durutti Column single, was an early manager of The Stone Roses and much more besides. Lindsay was also married to Factory Records owner and Haçienda director, Tony Wilson. Her new memoir, ‘A Continual Farewel,' l tells the incredible story of their tempestuous and mercurial relationship. AMANDA COOKE was in the interviewer's chair. This event took place on 15th August 2024 in the Pigeon Loft at The Robin Hood, Pontefract, West Yorkshire.

Britain's Railway Children were a band stuck between movements. Too late for the post-punk explosion of the early 80s and done just before Britpop conquered the world, they released a handful of albums and songs that deserved more attention. "Every Beat of the Heart" did crackthe UK top 40 and singles like "A Pleasure" and "Brighter" did well on the indie charts, but it wasn't enough and the band called it quits in the early 90s after three albums. Frontman Gary Newby joins us this week to explain how it all went down including their tours of the states, going from Factory Records to Virgin, and releasing more music on the band's name. These guys are ripe for rediscovery. Enjoy!  www.railwaychildren.co.uk  www.patreon.com/thehustlepod

How Queer Culture Shaped Pop Culture "The 1972 version of David Bowie didn't spring from nowhere.  Although he refused to affiliate himself explicitly with gay liberation, he had found both artistic and social inspiration in the gay world, in particular the renewed sense of freedom and possibility that rippled through the British gay subculture in the early 1970s." We finally lured the award-winning, bestselling author, pop-culture, punk penman Jon Savage to the Bureau to talk about his life and epic new book The Secret Public: How LGBTQ Resistance Shaped Popular Culture (1955–1979) It's an electrifying, massively entertaining - and at times, tragic - look at key moments in music history between 1955 and 1979, which helped move gay culture from the margins to the mainstream and changed the face of pop forever – from the ambiguous sexuality of stars such as Little Richard in the 1950s through to David Bowie, glam rock and Sylvester's ‘You Make Me Feel(Mighty Real)'. We talked about all that, about Punk, Joy Division, Tony Wilson, Johnny Marr, Factory Records and about how Jon grew up in the London of the late '50s and '60s, how he became a writer during one of the most exciting times for music journalism in the '70s and '80s - and about his own Secret Public Life..

Lines of Silence's 2024 incarnation is centred around a core duo of Todmorden's David Little and Manchester's Dave Clarkson, with live visuals supplied by John Bonner and Adrian Ball. The band's newest member, Dave Clarkson, has an extensive and illustrious history in electronic and experimental music circles spanning three decades. Dave is a member of the band Scissorgun alongside Alan Hempsall of Crispy Ambulance, as well as recording as a solo artist. Recent solo work has included a series of Pocket Guide field recording based albums and an album of mini soundtracks called Dreamadelica – Music for Dreamachines. Dave's past work has included collaborations with Ruth Davies (as Spectral Bazaar), Factory Records legend Vini Reilly, 808 State's Graham Massey, Alastair Stray (as Psychic Frequencies), the Burst Couch collective as well as providing soundtracks for various filmmakers. #Lines #Silence #Music #interview #AnalogueTrash

Lieve Monnens was born in Belgium in the 1960s. She had a musical awakening when she was eleven years old through listening to her dad's records by the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and the Beach Boys. She became interested in going to live shows, then later took internships with radio and record companies which led to several jobs in the music industry. In 1990, Lieve moved to England and began working at Factory Records in Manchester, only 2 and a half years before the label dissolved. Over thirty years later, she has been featured in the book, I Thought I Heard You Speak: Women at Factory Records by Audrey Golden, which has just been released in the U.S. She offers her thoughts on the experience of being a woman at Factory at the time, what it's like looking back, and the importance of recording our lesser-known histories. After introducing the show, co-hosts Wendy Sheridan and Robin Renée share their This Fortnight I Learned facts; Wendy learned something cool where Babylon 5 meets International Women's Day, while Robin copped out and read the day's Google Doodle fact about fancy coffee drinks.

Staci chats with arts and culture writer Audrey J. Golden. Audrey has a new, unprecedented oral history book out called I Thought I Heard You Speak: Women at Factory Records. She is also the station manager of Louder Than War Radio, where she's also a DJ and presents the weekly show ‘Breaking Glass' that highlights women in music. Audrey touches on her interview techniques, gives the scoop on the challenges she faced in writing a book that involved dozens of interviewees from the defunct Factory Records, talks about the women behind the New Order hit ‘Blue Monday' and the movie 24-Hour Party People. Her “rock & roll nightmare” involves Nick Cave and The Birthday Party.

"The smaller the audience, the bigger the history." So, at least, said Tony Wilson, co-founder of Factory Records and larger than life character at the center of Michael Winterbottom's 2002 punk pseudo-music-doc, our topic today! We are joined by Professor of Italian Studies at Boston College to explore the pull of nostalgia, anticipated retrospection, how the film's blend of fact/fiction/and legend reflects the mythmaking of its protagonist, and, of course, the music duh!

On this episode, Marc talks to Audrey Golden, author of “I Thought I Heard You Speak: Woman At Factory Records,” published in June of 2023. It's a fascinating oral history of the legendary UK record label told exclusively by women involved in at all levels. Golden talked to nearly 100 individuals for her book, from people who ran the office, to people who managed the bands, to people who promoted the music, to people who worked at the label's nightclub, the Hacienda, and so much more.As she writes in her introduction, “I set out to do two things: to create an innovative historical record of Factory and its cultural influences, and to collate an archive of women's experiential knowledge in all its vast, varied, and anecdotal complexity.”We hope you enjoy Marc's conversation with Audrey!

Audrey Golden  in conversation with David Eastaugh https://www.audreyjgolden.com/ Factory Records has become the stuff of legend. The histories of the label have been told from many perspectives, from visual catalogues and memoirs to exhibitions. Yet no in-depth history has ever been told from the perspectives of the women who were integral to Factory's cultural significance. The untold history of Factory Records is one of women's work at nearly every turn: recording music, playing live gigs, running the label behind the scenes, managing and promoting bands, designing record sleeves, making films and music videos, pioneering sound technology, DJing, and running one of the most chaotic clubs on the planet, The Haçienda.

Available to buy now, it shines a light into the crevices of the legendary indie label and reveals new stories and new perspectives concerning the women who played significant roles in making the Manchester based operation function. Audrey was an unbelievably fun guest, and while I can't share the after-hours contents with you, our conversation went on for a good 45 minutes after we'd stopped recording.

Manchester's music scene is famous the world over – but did Joy Division, the Haçienda and Factory Records really lead to a real estate boom that transformed the city? Journalist and adopted Mancunian Andy Spinoza tells Andrew Harrison how Tony Wilson's empire triggered a boom that transformed the city's skyline and more – as charted in his book Manchester Unspun: Pop, Property And Power In The Original Modern City.  BOOK ORDER LINK: https://www.hive.co.uk/Product/Andy-Spinoza/Manchester-Unspun--Pop-Property-and-Power-in-the-Original-Modern-City/27859796  “Those leaders in Manchester didn't dismiss the music as just a bunch of kids larking around. They could see this was the way economies were changing.” “All cities should give space to the artists to create their authentic homegrown culture and that should be away from officialdom and away from corporate interests.” www.patreon.com/bunkercast  Written and presented by Andrew Harrison.

With Geoff out after a bizarre curling incident (long story), Keith flies solo this week as he welcomes Paul Heck into Thunderlove Studio for a chat. Paul Heck created the AIDS Music Project to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS and normalize discussing safe sex. In this endeavor, Heck pursued the idea of an AIDS-benefit alternative rock compilation. He partnered with fellow Brown alumni Chris Mundy (a Rolling Stone senior writer) and Jessica Kowal (a freelance writer for Newsday) to produce the album No Alternative, the third album in the Red Hot Organization's (RHO) AIDS Benefit Music series. No Alternative, released on Arista Records in October 1993. The album received an A+ review in Entertainment Weekly and was described by Rolling Stone as "a jaw-dropping compilation of musical gems." A No Alternative MTV special featured a mix of live performances by Smashing Pumpkins and Goo Goo Dolls, music videos, short films by directors Hal Hartley, Tamra Davis, Michael Stipe, Jim McKay, and Matt Mahurin. No Alternative raised over $1.5 million, and the proceeds were donated to AIDS relief organizations across the US. Following No Alternative's commercial and critical success, Heck has produced other HIV/AIDS awareness-raising albums and a series of concerts at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Heck's subsequent productions include: Red Hot + Bothered Offbeat Red Hot + RIO Red Hot + Rhapsody Red Hot + Indigo Red Hot + RIOT Red Hot + RIO2 Red Hot + FELA Master Mix: Red Hot + Arthur Russell In 2004, Heck was honored by Brown University as the recipient of the John Hope Award for Career Public Service. Paul co-produced Dark Was The Night (2009), an AIDS benefit album that raised over $1 million and featured artists like The National, Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, My Morning Jacket, and Jose Gonzalez. In 2013 Heck produced a 20th Anniversary reissue of No Alternative on vinyl (Sony Legacy) for Record Store Day. In 2019 Heck produced Love is the Drug, a campaign in N. Carolina featuring live music pop-up events with video storytelling focused on raising awareness around Harm Reduction and Opioid Addiction.  In 2020 Heck invited another Brown alum, fine artist Keith Mayerson, to create a portrait of Dr. Anthony Fauci as a part of a limited art edition fundraiser for Treatment Action Group (TAG). Heck worked as an A&R for Arista Records and Warner Bros. Records in the mid-1990s. Paul has produced the compilation albums: Shuggie Otis Inspiration Information (Luaka Bop, 2002) Fela Kuti The Underground Spiritual Game Mix (with Chief Xcel of Blackalicous - Quannum Projects, 2004) Tim Maia Nobody Can Live Forever: The Existential soul of Tim Maia (Luaka Bop, 2011) In The Name of Love: Africa Celebrates U2 a project featuring African artists reinterpreting the songs of U2 (Shout! Factory Records, 2007) With his company Cobeep, Heck has produced video projects and live events for Steve Martin, Yo-Yo Ma[32] and Joe Walsh's annual VetsAid benefit concerts and livestreams.  LINKS Paul Heck Jujulele - Short Songs About The Universe Paul Heck on Substack No Alternative Red Hot Organization Wild Combination: A Portrait of Arthur Russell - documentary Joe Walsh's Vet Aid Farm Aid Shuggie Otis Tim Maia Nirvana - Sappy Everything But The Girl - Corcovado Go-Go Music

Formed in the late-70s South Bronx, ESG has an almost impossibly wide-ranging impact on popular music. Factory Records-owner Tony Wilson spotted sister act performing in Manhattan, and within days they found themselves recording in Manchester and playing opening night at the Hacienda. The group's self-titled debut EP prove a massive hit with critics, while its third track, “UFO,” would go one to become one of music's most-sampled tracks following the birth of hip-hop – a mixed blessing, to say the least. Singer Renee Scroggins has been through a lot in the 45 years since the group's founding, but she's managed to remain active, all while keeping ESG in the family. Hosted on Acast.

This month for the album spotlight Danny takes us to the year 1987 for the brilliant debut album "It's Better To Travel" by the Manchester England band Swing Out Sister.Although Swing Out Sister are currently a duo, they began as a trio in the UK. The group was formed by Andy Connell (keyboards) and Martin Jackson (drums); they were later joined by Corinne Drewery (vocals). According to the group's website, "They christened themselves after an obscure Billie Burke "B"-musical from the '40s [a 1945 movie starring Arthur Treacher, called Swing Out, Sister] because it was the only name they could agree upon - they all agreed they hated it." Both Connell and Jackson had been playing in other bands prior to forming SOS, while Drewery was a fashion designer and model before she became the band's lead vocalist. 52nd Street's Diane Charlemagne was influential in the period just prior to the band signing to Phonogram Records. Connell and Jackson, outside of their usual roles as Manchester musicians in A Certain Ratio and Magazine, were producing Electro tracks for Morgan Khan's Streetwise label with a degree of underground success. This activity triggered interest from a few major labels including Phonogram/Mercury Records. Vocalised songs were asked for, so Connell, who knew Charlemagne through Factory Records, approached her to sing on the Phonogram demos. These demos helped secure Connell and Jackson's major label contract. This was the period in which 52nd Street moved from Factory Records to Virgin Records and as a result, Diane Charlemagne's Swing Out Sister involvement ended. Beginnings and debut album: It's Better to Travel (1985–1987)Together with their producer, Paul Staveley O'Duffy, they signed with Mercury Records. Before their first album, they released the single "Blue Mood" in the UK in November 1985. However, it did not chart.In late 1986, the single "Breakout" was released. It reached the number four position on the UK Singles Chart in November 1986, and number six on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States in November 1987. When they released their debut album, It's Better to Travel, on 11 May 1987, it reached number one on the UK Albums Chart. The album blended real horns, synths (arranged subtly, to sound like strings), drums, and xylophones, scored by producer/arranger Richard Niles. The follow-up single to "Breakout" was "Surrender", which featured a trumpet solo performed by John Thirkell. It rose to number seven on the UK charts in January 1987. The next single was the more serious and jazzy "Twilight World". This song was the subject of many remixes and was a dance club favourite worldwide. The final single, "Fooled By a Smile", returned to the upbeat pop orientation characteristic of "Breakout".The group were subsequently nominated for two Grammy Awards in 1988: Best New Artist and Best Pop Vocal Performance by a Group or Duo ("Breakout").In addition to long-time partner O'Duffy as well as Thirkell, Swing Out Sister have also enlisted the talents of saxophonist Gary Barnacle (who with Thirkell also comprise the Phantom Horns known for their work with Level 42); percussionist Luis Jardim; guitarist Tim Cansfield; trumpet/fluegelhorn master Jerry Hey; and songwriter-arranger Jimmy Webb.Complete Setlist- 3/7/23BreakoutTwilight WorldAfter HoursBlue MoodSurrenderFooled By A SmileCommunionIt's Not EnoughIt's Better To TravelRecorded live at the She Shack Studio on March 7th 2023.© Copyright Danny Diess

Peter Saville is a man of the moment—and has been, again and again, throughout the past five decades. Raised in Manchester, England, in the sixties—in tandem with the growing prominence of counterculture, the rise of anti-war sentiments, and the birth of pop—Saville developed early on a keen eye and ear for the zeitgeist, or what he terms “nowness.” In his adolescence, he took up a fervent interest in music and in record covers in particular, and went on to art school to study graphic design. In his final year, he was commissioned to design the very first posters for the punk music venue The Factory, which would soon morph into the legendary independent record label Factory Records. Across his prolific, nearly 50-year-long career in graphic design and art direction, Saville has created album covers for Joy Division and New Order (most iconically, the one for Joy Division's debut studio album, Unknown Pleasures); branding for clients including Ferragamo, Burberry, and Aston Martin; and more recently, even Kvadrat fabric designs—each drawing inspiration from the spirit of their times—that can be called nothing short of era-defining. Woven across all of his work are provocative dialogues between past, present, and future.On this episode, Saville speaks with Andrew about coming of age in the punk and post-punk worlds, the increasing impossibility of tracking “nowness,” and creating literal signs of the times.Special thanks to our Season 6 sponsor, L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:Peter Saville[12:11] Kvadrat Technicolour[01:10:48] Power, Corruption & Lies album cover[42:21] Factory Records[50:15] FAC1 poster[50:15] Haçienda[53:13] FAC 2[29:23] Unknown Pleasures album cover[01:22:13] Closer album cover[01:24:43] “Blue Monday” cover[01:35:44] The Apartment[01:39:29] Show Studio

Side topics include Scott Pilgrim, JavaScript, domain names, throwing money at artists you love, and just one of the _numerous_ ways Factory Records managed to lose lots of money.

For this week's podcast, we review Marvel's Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and Keith review's the new Nicholas Cage comedy, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Tallent. We also talk about the history of the American rating system and debate the merits of the PG-13 blockbuster standard. From Amazon Prime, we review the 2002 British comedy, 24 Hour Party People, which details the rise and fall of Factory Records. 

Jonesy is back with another special episode in advance of the May 31 release of the limited series Pistol. Jonesy talks about the time Tony Wilson interviewed him on Jonesy's Jukebox. Wilson was made famous as the subject of the film 24 Hour Party People. Before that, he became etched in British music history as the TV presenter who gave the Sex Pistols their first exposure on television in Manchester. Wilson went on to co-found Factory Records with artists such as Joy Division, New Order, and Happy Mondays and was the founder and manager of the legendary Manchester nightclub the Hacienda. You'll hear Tony Wilson describe witnessing the Sex Pistols' now-mythical first Lesser Free Trade Hall show, as later depicted in the film Control. As a journalist, Wilson came to interview Jonesy on his own show May 4, 2005. This episode took place two days before the last-minute appearance by Malcolm McLaren from last week's podcast. Enjoy the entire discussion, share it with your mates and be sure to subscribe to Jonesy's Jukebox to get the latest episode on Mondays. Fanx for listenin!

It stars Steve Coogan as Wilson, and touches on the careers of musical legends Joy … Continue reading Matinee LIVE: 24 Hour Party People (2002)

NOTE: This episode was removed from the feed by our podcast host. Listen on our website: https://discordpod.com/listen/088-new-order-substance-1987We used to think that the day would never come, but Discord & Rhyme has reached a new milestone: it's our first singles compilation! New Order issued Substance in an effort to bail out Factory Records, whose financial mismanagement is the stuff of legend. But that also meant that the label was willing to spend money on cool new equipment for the band, which meant that they were always one step ahead of the game technologically, leading an unintentional revolution in electronic dance music. Substance spans the years 1981–1987, during which the band rose from the ashes of Joy Division, issued the groundbreaking 12-inch single “Blue Monday,” and ascended to arena stardom with appearances on major soundtracks such as Pretty in Pink and hits such as “Bizarre Love Triangle” and “True Faith.” They're one of Rich's very favorite bands, so join us as he leads Mike and John on the journey from Manchester to Madchester.Cohosts: Rich Bunnell, Mike DeFabio, John McFerrinComplete show notes: https://discordpod.com/listen/088-new-order-substance-1987Discord & Rhyme's merch store: http://tee.pub/lic/discordpodSupport the podcast! https://www.patreon.com/discordpod
