Poet and pediatric anesthesiologist Conor Mc Donnell joins the podcast to talk about how he lets his readers do the work when it comes to his poetry. Mc Donnell discusses how he balances writing with a demanding medical career, why his long poem "What We Know So Far" grew out of news headlines and medical language, and how wordplay, notebooks, and “accretive” composition shape his projects. Along the way they get into language as a virus (via Burroughs), the influence of David Lynch and M. John Harrison on narrative structure, the musicality of poetry (Joy Division, New Order, Smashing Pumpkins), and why writers should be willing to train and even lose some readers in order to reach the right ones.Find all of Conor's work at https://www.conorgmcdonnell.com/Pick up Jonathan's latest work, The Eye Collector from Image Comics at your local comic shop, or online.Join Jonathan's Patreon page for free at staystrange.ca.Subscribe to the Stranger Fiction YouTube channel at strangertv.com.Purchase books & comics available from Stranger Fiction at strangerfiction.ca.Watch The Princess and the Dragon on Apple TV.
Clint Boon was at the heart of “the two biggest musical revolutions of my lifetime” – as a teenager for Joy Division and Buzzcocks, and later the Stone Roses, Happy Mondays and Hacienda and onstage with Inspiral Carpets, a world of characters as big as his own. His memoir ‘The Manchester Chronicles' is about obsessions, schoolteachers, purple winklepickers, mobile discos, good luck, catastrophe and being in the right place at the right time for 30 years. Along with … … why Manchester listens to music so intently: “we're stuck inside while it rains” … auditioning Noel Gallagher “as the Lockerbie plane flew directly overhead” … the new economy: making a Number 2 album funded by t-shirt and cassette sales … growing up on Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey, Little Richard and Gary Lewis & the Playboys … Inspiral Carpets' obsession with West Coast psychedelia … when the band all got houses with their Mute advance “and I just bought some $800 sunglasses” … great bowl-heads haircuts (Stones, Byrds, Jefferson Airplane) and why he got one too … seeing the Pistols at the Electric Circus: “I left college the next morning” … the sudden split: playing Glastonbury one minute, living on milk tokens and income support the next … his 1975 disco playing Mud, the Rubettes and Showaddywaddy (“I was a 14 year-old Ted”) … and how 24 Hour Party People captured “the spirit, chaos, colour and madness”.

Wir schreiben das Jahr 2009 und alle feiern Neon-Rave, Eskapismus, Hedonismus und Electro-Indie-Sleaze. Alle? Nope, ein paar cool kids ziehen sich ihre skinny Jeans über und tanzen langsam und auf ihre Schuhe starrend zum Album "Primary Colours" von der britischen Band The Horrors. Heutzutage ein bisschen ein Insider-Tipp, ist Platte Nr. 2 der Band aus Essex damals ein critics darling und eine Verbeugung vor der Geschichte des Post-Punk. FM4s Christoph Sepin spricht mit Lisa Schneider über sein Lieblingsalbum, über Rowland S. Howard und Joy Division, über Rock'n'Roll in den Nullerjahren, Gazpacho und viktorianische Landsitze. Und ja, wir wissen eh, dass "Love Will Tear Us Apart" noch nicht auf "Unknown Pleasures" draufgewesen ist.

A Swedish band nobody outside Scandinavia ever heard live sounds like it was mixed by people who actually understood 80s post-punk instead of just imitating it. This episode, guest Darren Leach brings his first pick from the 2000s: Cut City's 2007 debut Exit Decades, a nine-song, 34-minute record that channels Joy Division, The Sound, and early Interpol while arriving a few years after the post-punk revival's commercial peak. We dig into the mechanical-versus-expressive tension in the arrangements, the mix that lets every instrument breathe, and why the album might be missing the one quirky vocal hook that made its peers famous. If you love Interpol, Editors, Bloc Party, or 2000s post-punk revival, this episode is for you.Highlights:01:49: Darren introduces Cut City and the album08:51: The mechanical/expressive dynamic breakdown19:05: The mix and bass discussion26:49: What doesn't fully land on the record33:09: The post-punk revival timeline37:41: Ratings revealedSubscribe to Dig Me Out at digmeoutpodcast.com | Join the community at dmounion.com Have a lost or forgotten album that deserves the spotlight?

A Manchester, nel 1976, si tenne un concerto dei Sex Pistols che ancora oggi viene ricordato non tanto per chi c'era sul palco, ma piuttosto per chi stava tra il pubblico: una serie di ragazzini che, nel giro di un paio d'anni, avrebbero fondato alcune delle band più importanti del Regno Unito.In questo episodio ho provato a immergermi in quella serata, incontrando virtualmente futuri membri di Joy Division, New Order, Simply Red, Smiths, Buzzcocks, ecc...prima che diventassero famosi...Puntata realizzata feat.

It's time to head back to the synth-soaked sounds of the 1980s as Dangerous Dave celebrates one of Britain's greatest and most enduring pop duos...PET SHOP BOYS!This week on The Insanely Dangerous Retropodshow, Dave takes a huge deep dive into the career of Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe, exploring how a chance meeting in a London electronics shop eventually led to one of the most successful partnerships in British pop history.From "West End Girls" to "It's a Sin," "Always on My Mind," "Heart," "Being Boring" and "Go West," we're celebrating the songs, albums and unmistakable electronic sound that made Pet Shop Boys legends.WHAT HAPPENED WAY BACK WHEN? – 1986First, we're travelling back to 1986, the year Pet Shop Boys released their debut album Please.Dave revisits five songs, five movies and five television shows from an incredible year of entertainment, including Top Gun, Aliens, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Real Ghostbusters and some of the biggest records of the year.Then Retro Headlines turns back the clock to remember some of the major stories making news in Britain and America.DANGEROUS DEEP DIVE – THE HISTORY OF PET SHOP BOYSHow did Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe become Pet Shop Boys?Dave goes right back to the beginning, exploring Neil's career in publishing and at Smash Hits, Chris's background and their chance meeting in London in 1981.We follow their early demos, their work with Bobby Orlando and the original version of "West End Girls", before the re-recorded song transformed them into international stars.Dave also looks at the brilliantly understated Pet Shop Boys image: Neil delivering intelligent and observational lyrics while Chris stands almost motionless behind the keyboards.No rock-star posing required.THE ALBUMSThen it's time to raid the Pet Shop Boys record collection.Dave discusses and rates the albums that defined their first two decades, including:Please – ⭐⭐⭐⭐½The debut that established the classic Pet Shop Boys sound.Actually – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Dave's number-one Pet Shop Boys album, featuring an incredible collection of songs including "It's a Sin," "Rent" and "What Have I Done to Deserve This?"Introspective – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Six enormous tracks blending electronic pop with extended club arrangements.Behaviour – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐A more reflective and emotional record featuring the magnificent "Being Boring."Very – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Colourful, confident and packed with some of the duo's greatest 90s material.Plus, Dave revisits Bilingual and Nightlife as Pet Shop Boys continued evolving through the later 1990s.THE GREATEST HITS – RATED!Then comes the big one.Dave works through some of the greatest songs in the Pet Shop Boys catalogue and gives them the Danger Rating treatment.We revisit:West End Girls ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Opportunities ⭐⭐⭐⭐½Love Comes Quickly ⭐⭐⭐⭐½Suburbia ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐It's a Sin ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐What Have I Done to Deserve This? ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Rent ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Always on My Mind ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Heart ⭐⭐⭐⭐½Domino Dancing ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Left to My Own Devices ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐So Hard ⭐⭐⭐⭐½Being Boring ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Can You Forgive Her? ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Go West ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐And plenty more.But only one can be Dangerous Dave's favourite...And "Being Boring" takes the number-one position, narrowly beating "West End Girls" and "It's a Sin."DANGEROUS DETOUR – THE SYNTH-POP REVOLUTIONDave takes a detour into the electronic revolution that transformed the 1980s.From synthesizers and drum machines to sequencers and changing recording technology, we explore how electronic music went from experimental to mainstream and produced artists including The Human League, Depeche Mode, Yazoo, Eurythmics, Erasure and Pet Shop Boys.BACK IN THE ADSWe also rewind British television for another edition of Back in the Ads, remembering the telephone advertising campaigns that sold us something surprisingly simple...The joy of actually talking to somebody!A reminder of a world before WhatsApp, social media and endless notifications.RETRO RUMBLE – PET SHOP BOYS VS ERASURETwo synth-pop giants enter the ring.Only one leaves victorious.Pet Shop Boys vs Erasure!Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe take on Andy Bell and Vince Clarke across greatest hits, vocals, lyrics, albums and dancefloor anthems.Erasure put up one hell of a fight...But Pet Shop Boys eventually take the Retro Rumble crown 3–2.DANGEROUSLY UNDERRATEDDave also shines a spotlight on "King's Cross", the brilliant Actually album track that proves some of the finest Pet Shop Boys songs never needed to become massive singles.GAZ'S RETRO RECORDS – SYNTH-POP SPECIALThen Gaz opens his record collection for a special edition of Gaz's Retro Records.This week he's celebrating four acts that helped make electronic music such an important part of the 1980s.OMDGaz celebrates the brilliant Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, from the atmospheric "Enola Gay" and "Souvenir" to "Maid of Orleans" and their later pop success.For Gaz, OMD proved that electronic music could be experimental, emotional and incredibly catchy at the same time.SOFT CELLNext comes Soft Cell.Marc Almond and Dave Ball created a much darker version of synth-pop, mixing electronic music with the atmosphere of nightclubs and the seedier side of city life.And, of course, there's the enormous "Tainted Love" – one of the defining electronic records of the entire decade.NEW ORDERGaz then turns to New Order, the band that emerged from the end of Joy Division and helped blur the lines between alternative rock and electronic dance music.From "Blue Monday" and "Bizarre Love Triangle" to "True Faith," their influence can still be heard across electronic and dance music today.ERASUREFinally, Gaz celebrates Erasure.Vince Clarke's electronic brilliance combined with Andy Bell's incredible voice produced classics including "Sometimes," "A Little Respect," "Stop!," "Blue Savannah" and "Love to Hate You."They might have lost today's Retro Rumble...But Gaz argues that no discussion about great British synth-pop would be complete without them.Four artists.Four very different approaches to electronic pop.And four essential additions to your retro record collection.THE DANGER ZONEFinally, Dave asks the biggest question of the episode...Are Pet Shop Boys the greatest British pop duo of all time?When you consider the songs...The albums...The lyrics...The production...The innovation...And more than four decades of longevity...Dave's answer is...YES!Pet Shop Boys receive a massive 58 out of 60 Danger Rating.HALL OF DANGERAnd there could only be one way to finish.Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe officially enter the...

„Maifliegen“ (auf Englisch „Mayflies“) ist der zuletzt auf Deutsch erschienene Roman des schottischen Schriftstellers und Journalisten Andrew O'Hagan. Vor dem Hintergrund der Thatcher-Ära in Großbritannien zeichnet O'Hagan das zeitlose Porträt euphorischer Jugend. Mit seinen Hauptfiguren Tully und Jimmy taucht er tief ein in die englische Musik- und Indie-Szene der 1980er, mit Bands wie The Smiths, The Fall und Joy Division. 30 Jahre später begegnet man den Freunden von damals wieder, in einer herzzerreißenden Situation. In hr-iNFO Kultur erzählt der mehrfach für den Booker-Preis nominierte O‘Hagan, warum „Maifliegen“ das Buch ist, das für ihn immer noch wächst. Eine Sendung von und mit Melanie Aschenbrenner.

Σήμερα αναρωτιόμαστε εάν οι Joy Division, οι Smiths και οι Oasis θα μπορούσαν να σώσουν τη Μ. Βρετανία από τα οικονομικά της αδιέξοδα. Και απαντάμε: Μπα! Αναλύουμε το πρόγραμμα και το όραμα του μαντσεστερισμού που προωθεί ο νέος πρωθυπουργός της Μ. Βρετανίας, αλλά υποστηρίζουμε ότι αν έχει παγώσει η τσιμινιέρα, οι επιλογές σου είναι ελαφρώς περιορισμένες. Παρακολουθούμε την πόλη, που βοήθησε τον Μαρξ και τον Ένγκελς να κατανοήσουν τον καπιταλισμό, να βυθίζεται στο βάλτο του νεοφιλευθερισμού και να το εκφράζει σε post punk ρυθμούς. Και ύστερα, αφού πήραμε αυτό το μονοπάτι, επιστρέφουμε για λίγο στους Joy Division, για να θυμηθούμε δυο-τρία βιβλία που ξεφύλλισε στα γρήγορα ο Ίαν Κέρτις. Οι εκπομπές διατίθενται δωρεάν.

This week on Riff Worship, we descend into the slowest, darkest, and heaviest corner of extreme music history to explore the birth of Funeral Doom through Thergothon's 1994 cult classic, Stream from the Heavens!Before disbanding in 1993 and leaving the metal world behind, a group of Finnish teenagers completely rewrote the rulebook on heavy music. Fed up with the oversaturated early-'90s death metal scene, the Kaarina-based trio stripped away all speed and aggression to craft something entirely immersive, bleak, and atmospheric. Heavily influenced by the cosmic horror of H.P. Lovecraft and a mixture of non-metal sounds—ranging from Dead Can Dance and Joy Division to dark ambient and goth rock—Thergothon channeled their angst into a frozen, monolithic vacuum of pure negative emotion.Join us as we dissect the band's brief but legendary three-year history, trace the origins of Obscure Plasma Records and Avantgarde Music, and discover how a single, 40-minute album paved the way for bands like Skepticism, Evoken, and Mournful Congregation!Recommendations:CADY - Limitations of the Human FormThis Empty Flow - Magenta SkycodeSkepticism - StormcrowfleetMonumentuM - In Absentia ChristiAhab - The Boats of The Glen CarrigKakothanasy - MetagonismFollow Riff WorshipInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/riffworshippod/Twitter: https://x.com/RiffWorshipPodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RiffWorshipPodCheck out our Official Playlists:Riffs on Repeat (Spotify)Riffs on Repeat (YouTube Music)Hits from the Crypt (Apple)
Our Summer in the Cities tour crosses the Atlantic and rolls into Manchester, where rain‑slick streets, brick mills and crowded terraces shape the sound as much as guitars and drum machines. Don and Dude drop the needle on two albums that channel the city's gray skies, sharp wit and restless youth into vivid musical cityscapes.The AlbumsJoy Division – Closer (1980)Joy Division turn late‑70s Manchester's post‑punk tension into a stark, spacious set about isolation, collapse, and trying to find language for feelings that barely fit inside a song. Martin Hannett's cold, echoing production, Ian Curtis's weary baritone, and the band's tight, minimal playing make Closer feel like a haunted, human swan song where every drum hit and bass line sounds both distant and painfully close.The Smiths – Strangeways, Here We Come (1987)The Smiths close out their run with a more layered, studio‑shaped take on Manchester indie rock, folding piano, keyboards, strings, and bigger guitar sounds into their usual mix of wit and melancholy. Morrissey and Johnny Marr push past jangle pop into richer, stranger territory, delivering a final album that feels ambitious and forward‑looking even as the band quietly splinters behind the scenes.Diggin' AlbumsThe Lemon Twigs – Look for Your Mind! (2026)New York brothers Brian and Michael D'Addario serve up bright, tape‑warm power pop and psychedelic rock, full‑band performances and intricate harmonies turning their 60s and 70s obsessions into lively, modern heartbreak and anxiety tunes.Billy Idol – Billy Idol (1982)Sneering vocals, Steve Stevens guitar fireworks, and early‑MTV hooks power this debut, where post‑punk attitude and hard rock riffs collide on tracks like White Wedding to turn a former punk frontman into a mainstream rock fixture.Haircut 100 – Boxing the Compass (2026)Sunny British pop outfit reunite with Nick Heyward and core bandmates for a groove‑centered comeback, bright guitar, bass, and percussion lines reviving their new wave and Brit‑funk feel on fresh, good‑natured tunes built for summer playlists.Midge Ure – A Man of Two Worlds (2026)Ultravox frontman and synth‑pop veteran returns with a double album splitting instrumental soundscapes and vocal songs, weaving his classic electronic sensibility into modern, atmospheric arrangements that show both sides of his writing.Follow & Support Follow the show on Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and Bluesky @albumnerds, and support the podcast by subscribing, rating, reviewing, and sharing it with another music obsessive who still loves hearing whole albums front to back.“Manchester's got everything except a beach.” – Ian Brown
Peter Hook reflects on 50 years of music, the emotional weight of performing Joy Division and New Order live, and the many memories and ghosts of his past. Tickets for Peter Hook & The Light, Australia 2026 Topics Include: New Order toured Australia as early as 1982, helped by Factory Australasia's local support. Hooky calls Australia the only place he never wants to leave — he still suffers leaving every time. Peter Hook and the Light played their seventh-ever gig in Melbourne on their first Australian tour. He is now working through every New Order and Joy Division album ever recorded live. Get Ready features songs never played live as New Order, with Steve Morris largely absent during recording. The band's Grammy came from Orgy's heavy metal cover of Blue Monday — Hook loves the weird covers most. He revealed a plan to stage a full New Order classical concert, eyeing the Sydney Opera House. Ian Curtis performed with absolute conviction every single night — something Bernard Sumner couldn't match early on. Hook recalls first seeing Ian smash up a venue at 2:30am, dancing through broken tables — terrifying and electrifying. That chaotic Stiff/Chiswick talent show led directly to Rob Gretton becoming Joy Division's manager. Ian's lyrics, Hook says, are heartbreaking up close — Love Will Tear Us Apart masks devastating words in euphoric music. Singing Ian's words himself has given Hook a profound new insight into what Curtis was actually expressing. Tony Wilson signed them with a handshake — no contracts — while other labels arrived with thick legal documents. Bernard Sumner found the Unknown Pleasures pulsar image in a textbook; nobody planned the iconic sleeve. Hooky was actually sued for bootlegging the Unknown Pleasures artwork — which Factory themselves had originally stolen. Ian Curtis reportedly wrote a letter complaining about how Closer sounded — a detail Hook only learned years later. During Closer sessions, Curtis was being torn apart: marriage collapsing, new love, epilepsy worsening, the band pushing forward. Hook deeply regrets not seeing Ian before his cremation — but a gravedigger privately told him where Curtis is actually buried. The inquest into Ian's death so disgusted the band they decided on the spot to continue as New Order. Joy Division was deliberately boxed away for 30 years; Bernard called playing those songs "miserable" and refused to continue. Bobby Gillespie suggested the album playback concept so Hook could faithfully recreate Martin Hannett's studio sound live. Watching his son learn Joy Division bass lines at the same age Hook was then felt like staring into the past. Performing these songs, Hook says he is "living surrounded by ghosts" of collaborators now gone. The K-93 sessions saw Killing Joke's Geordie Walker move into Hook's Manchester home for six weeks, causing complete chaos. Those lost K-93 tapes mysteriously surfaced after the label went bankrupt — and Jaz Coleman promptly went silent again.

We've finally made it - the pivotal Post Punk year of 1979. Well, sort of. It wouldn't be LITM without a little extra detail, so Jeremy and Tim cue up our arrival with a couple of tracks from '78 for good measure. They talk Tom Robinson Band, Undertones and the Only Ones, exploring ‘dole queue rock', everydayness and the limits of politically self-conscious music of the period. Later in the show they tuck into a couple of indie disco staples to examine emergent New Wave, de-masculination, Manchester and the Iron Lady. Finally, for the first time on the show, the guys spend time on perhaps the most iconic post punkers of all: Joy Division. This is our last main feed episode for a little while - we'll be back in mid-August. Until then, why not become a Patron and explore our LITM Extra archive, featuring dozens of bonus shows?Patreon.com/LoveMessagePodwww.loveisthemessagepod.co.ukProduced by Matt Huxley.Tracklist:Tom Robinson Band - Winter of '79The Undertones - Teenage Kicks The Only Ones - Another Girl, Another Planet Blondie - Heart of Glass Machine - There But for the Grace of God Go I The Cure - Boys Don't Cry Joy Division - Disorder

The Dutch photographer and art director on his longtime collaboration with Depeche Mode, moving into feature films and 50 years of documenting music culture.In 1979, the 24-year-old Dutch photographer Anton Corbijn talked his way into a Joy Division shoot in a London Underground tunnel by citing a magazine assignment he didn't have. The band posed with their backs to the camera, and subsequently, no magazine accepted the photo. Within a year, Ian Curtis was dead, and the picture became one of the defining images of post-punk.Corbijn has since become one of the world's best known music photographers, capturing artists like Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Bowie, Captain Beefheart and nearly every major name to enter the pop realm. In this RA Exchange, he reflected on a life spent documenting music culture and his new retrospective at Fotografiska, Corbijn, Anton, which spans five decades of his work.He also spoke in depth about his longtime relationship with Depeche Mode. As the band's creative director, he has worked on all of their music videos, stage design, album covers and more for over 40 years. Corbijn's retrospective will be on display until September 20th, 2026, and his new feature length film, Switzerland, will land in theatres this year. Listen to the episode in full. Hosted on Acast.

Jimmy Eadie in conversation with David Eastaugh Into Paradise were an Irish indie rock group from Dublin, whose influences included Joy Division and Echo & the Bunnymen. They formed in 1986 as Backwards into Paradise, and released their debut EP, Blue Light, in 1989 on the independent record label, Setanta. Soon after came the EP Change, and the band's first album, Under the Water. Their most successful album and major record label debut, was the Adrian Borland-produced Churchtown. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2N_j7s1Ahjo

Author Chris Connelly (Cargo Recording Studios 1977-1985) joins us to unpack criminally underrated UK band The Chameleons and their 1983 debut album 'Script Of The Bridge'. Cargo Studios, though only active from 1977 to 1985 in Rochdale, quickly became the epicentre for post-punk and independent recording bands across the UK, including The Fall, Joy Division, OMD, Gang Of Four, Felt and many many more. Chris was THERE for some of the 'Script Of The Bridge' sessions, and offers keen insight into this fantastic record - AND this special place/time. Songs discussed in this episode: View From A Hill (acoustic version) - The Chameleons; Atmosphere - Joy Division; The Fan and the Bellows, Things I Wish I'd Said - The Chameleons; The Cutter - Echo & The Bunnymen; I Will Follow - U2; Don't Fall, Here Today, Monkeyland, Second Skin, Dreams In Celluloid (Demo), Second Skin (Live, 2000), Up The Down Escalator - The Chameleons; Untitled - Interpol; Less Than Human, Less Than Human (Demo), Pleasure and Pain - The Chameleons; Psykick Dance Hall - The Fall; Electricity (Martin Hannett Cargo Studios version) - OMD; Thursday's Child, As High As You Can Go, A Person Isn't Safe Anywhere These Days, Paper Tigers - The Chameleons; Damaged Goods, Love Like Anthrax - Gang Of Four (Damaged Goods EP 1978); Atmosphere - Joy Division; View From A Hill - The Chameleons; Raindance - The Last Seven Days; Tomorrow Never Knows (Beatles cover) - The Chameleons
Cabaret Voltaire are no one thing. Depending on which corner of the internet you found us from, you might know them as the caustic Sheffield noise act who preceded post-punk, the sinister electro-industrial outfit with a penchant for evangelical samples and anti-fascist agitprop, or the dancefloor-adjacent act who fetched up on Factory's Belgian satellite label and made something close to club music. You're all correct.This week, we have a guide. Phil Eaglesham — P6, former front person of Stretchheads and De Salvo, current singer in OMO, musical walking tour operator, man of broad and alarming musical learnings — is here to help us navigate one of the most complex and wilfully uncommercial bands to come out of the UK, via their transitional compilation Eight Crepuscule Tracks.We trace the band's origins in a Sheffield attic in 1973, chart their debts to dub, Black American music, and the sci-fi soundscapes that shaped a generation of working-class ears, and make the case that Cabaret Voltaire — despite their apparent difficulty — were one of the most industrious and fundamentally political bands of their era. We also get into their time at Western Works Studio, which functioned less like a recording facility and more like the gravitational centre of an entire Sheffield scene; their complicated relationship with Rough Trade; and their connections to Joy Division, Lydia Lunch, Clock DVA, and the bands that would become the Human League and ABC.Along the way, Phil brings original artefacts including a signed 1979 TG/Cab Vol/Rema Rema poster from Tottenham Court Road, and the original 12-inches the album is built from. We also ask what would have happened to Cabaret Voltaire without punk — and conclude they'd likely have ended up an academic footnote rather than a foundational text.

This week, the internet did what it always does: took something good, something that clearly resonated with real people, and turned it into a battlefield. We're talking about Mixtape — the new game from Beethoven & Dinosaur and Annapurna — and why the so-called "controversy" surrounding it tells you more about gaming culture than it does about the actual game.Because let's be honest: a 2-to-3 hour game with a 95 Metascore on Xbox, thousands of positive Steam reviews, and music from Devo, Joy Division, and the Smashing Pumpkins doesn't NEED the internet's permission to be good. But here we are. We're going to talk about why these faux controversies keep popping up, what they say about who gaming makes room for, and why some people just cannot stand it when a game dares to be an emotional experience without a fail state.Then we get into Saros — Housemarque's spiritual successor to Returnal — and yeah, we have THOUGHTS. Arjun Devraj, Rahul Kohli going absolutely OFF in this performance, cosmic horror on planet Carcosa, and a roguelite loop that somehow got MORE accessible without losing the teeth that made Returnal special. Is it better than Returnal? That's a conversation we need to have.We also sat down with Directive 8020 — the newest entry in Supermassive's Dark Pictures Anthology — which takes the series to space and has y'all fighting alien mimics in the void. Alien meets The Thing in video game form? The story and the Turning Points mechanic are genuinely doing something. The stealth sections though… we'll talk about it.And to close it out: Double Fine — Tim Schafer's legendary studio, makers of Psychonauts and the recently released Kiln — has filed a petition to unionize with the CWA. 42 workers. Microsoft taking a neutral stance. This is big, and it's part of a larger wave rolling through the industry. Workers deserve protection, and this moment matters. We're gonna break it all down.Let's get into it.Twitter/X — https://twitter.com/spawnonmeInstagram — https://instagram.com/spawnonmeYouTube — https://youtube.com/@spawnonmeTwitch — https://twitch.tv/spawnonmeSpotify — https://open.spotify.com/show/spawnonmeApple Podcasts — https://podcasts.apple.com/spawnonme
Robert meets legendary photographer ANTON CORBIJN to discuss his major retrospective opening this weekend in Berlin at Fotografiska museum.The story of Anton Corbijn begins in the quiet corners of a small Dutch island, where he grew up as the son of a vicar. For a young Corbijn, music was an escape, a passion that consumed him. His camera soon became both a tool and a companion, a way to channel his fascination with music and, perhaps more importantly, a means to navigate his own shyness.When Corbijn moved to London in 1979, the city was electric with the energy of bands like The Clash, The Jam, and Joy Division. Within ten days of arriving in England, he managed to photograph Joy Division claiming he was on assignment for a major Dutch magazine, even though he hadn't been officially commissioned.Now, having celebrated his 70th birthday last year, Corbijn looks back on over five decades of work that spans photography, music videos, and film. Corbijn, Anton celebrates his 50-year career and revisits his extensive body of work. Here, you will encounter nearly 150 pieces: iconic portraits of legends like Depeche Mode, Tom Waits, U2, the Rolling Stones, Martin Scorsese, and Marlene Dumas, as well as German icons Nina Hagen, Herbert Grönemeyer, Einstürzende Neubauten and Wim Wenders. His signature black-and-white grainy aesthetic became a defining visual language in his work.A polymath in photography, music videos, feature films, graphic design, and commercials, Dutchman Anton Corbijn is perhaps best known for immortalizing some of the greatest artists of our time. His iconic portraits of musicians, directors, and artists, such as Joy Division, Depeche Mode, Tom Waits, U2, the Rolling Stones, Martin Scorsese, Clint Eastwood, Gerhard Richter, Ai Weiwei, Marlene Dumas among others, are praised for the way they capture the soul and charisma of his subjects.Effortlessly moving in the early 80s from photography into music videos, Corbijn has since made over 80 promos for people like U2, Johnny Cash, Arcade Fire, Depeche Mode, Nirvana, Metallica, Nick Cave, Coldplay, and The Killers. He is the Artistic Director behind the visual output of Depeche Mode. For U2 he has done the principal promotion and sleeve photography for four decades.In 2006 Corbijn started working on his first feature film Control about the life, and death, of Ian Curtis, Joy Division's lead singer. The film won many awards worldwide, including 5 BIFAs and the Camera d'Or Special Mention at Cannes Film Festival 2007. Corbijn has since made The American starring George Clooney (2010), A Most Wanted Man, based on the novel by John Le Carré and featuring the late Philip Seymour Hoffman (2014), and Life, about James Dean and photographer Dennis Stock, which stars Robert Pattinson and Dane DeHaan (2015).In 2023, Corbijn released his first feature documentary Squaring The Circle about the iconic album art design studio Hipgnosis. In 2025, he directed his fifth feature film titled Switzerland starring Helen Mirren.Follow: @AntonCorbijn4RealVisit the exhibition: @Fotografiska.Berlin Hosted on Acast.

The Strange Brew - artist stories behind the greatest music ever recorded
In a market town seven miles south-east of Manchester, a recording studio opened above a shop in 1968 that became one of the most significant facilities in British music history. Strawberry Recording Studios in Stockport was where 10cc built their sound, where Paul McCartney brought Wings to record his brother Mike’s album, where Neil Sedaka revived his career, and where Joy Division and The Smiths made their early recordings. For a long time, much of this went unremarked. Peter Tattersall, the studio’s co-founder, and Peter Wadsworth, a music historian at the University of Manchester, discuss the history of Strawberry Studios. The soundproofing, Tattersall mentions, was worked out from books borrowed from Stockport Library. That detail tells you all you need to know. Further information strawberrynorth.co.uk Strawberry Studios Forever: Strawberry Studios, 10cc and the Birth of Manchester Music by Peter Tattersall with Peter Wadsworth is available in all good book shops Strawberry Studios Forever podcast tracks Support The Strange Brew Podcasts also available: Eric Stewart – Part 1, Eric Stewart – Part 2, Graham Gouldman, Kevin Godley, Harvey Lisberg, Mike McGear McCartney, Keith Hopwood – Herman’s Hermits This podcast is also available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, Google apps and all usual platforms If you like what I do please support me on Ko-fi The post Strawberry Studios Forever appeared first on The Strange Brew .

The two records up for discussion in this week's podcast are both from 2006 and have at least some connection to broader post-industrial traditions, but those might be the only links between Dioxyde's aggrotech-inflected Social Phobia and the Lovecraftian ambience of Flint Glass' Nyarlathotep. It's also a news heavy week with discussion of Joy Division and New Order's inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame, and the lineups for the Cold Waves and Absolution festivals.

It's Gabe's favorite time of year AGAIN! We pick over this year's crop of nominees for induction into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame and decide which ones we love, which ones we hate the least, and which ones we're not touching with a ten foot pole. Is this Iron Maiden's year? Will Ben ever get over Joy Division being lumped in with New Order? Who keeps nominating Billy Idol? And who gives a shit??? PLUS!: Local H driver and Karen wrangler Pete Beeman checks in with a new prank call project.
