There's something romantic about glorious failure and Will nails it perfectly in ‘Street Level Superstar: A Year With Lawrence'. Over 40 years plagued by bad luck and self-sabotage with Felt, Denim and Mozart Estate, Lawrence has pursued fame and success while refusing to do what's required to achieve them. Will spent 12 months wandering the streets of London with him to paint a fond, touching and extremely entertaining portrait of the worst-equipped pop star attempting a comeback, a man on a holy, monastic mission in a book about “sacrifice and the price of a dream”. Among many highlights here, we talk about … … where Lawrence fits in the pantheon of great underachievers like Syd Barrett, Nick Drake and Arthur Lee. … and his similarity to Kevin Shields and Kevin Rowland. … the wisdom of a former girlfriend: “stop trying to be the pop star you don't want to be and you might get somewhere”. … is lack of success the central dream of the indie world?   … why Denim were Britpop before Britpop happened and why EMI melted down all copies of their last single. … his rules before the book began - “No anecdotes, no interviews with former members of Felt …” … what his stalker planned to get his attention. … fantasy girlfriends and “a fear of cheese”. … why he didn't go to his mother's funeral. … and why Truman Capote's portrait of Marlon Brando, the Duke and His Domain, was a touchstone for this book. Order ‘Street Level Superstar: A Year With Lawrence' here:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Street-Level-Superstar-Lawrence-Will-Hodgkinson/dp/1785120220Find out more about how to help us to keep the conversation going: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Nige Tassell used to go to school in full donkey-jacket-and-woolly-hat ensemble to express his boundless devotion to Dexys Midnight Runners. Forty years later he set out to find and interview everyone who'd ever been a member. For some, their time in the ranks was a joyful, career-launching delight. Others felt it was like a slightly chilly and controlling cult. They all took a while to recover and they all had extraordinary stories to tell in his latest book ‘Searching For Dexys Midnight Runners'. Here's a flavour of what gets discussed … … ‘No drugs or alcohol! No smiling! No eye contact with the audience!' and other unsettling Dexys mantras. … examples of Kevin Rowland ‘snatching defeat from the jaws of victory'. … the many ways the band made themselves deliberately different'. … the event supporting Bowie that got their power cut onstage in Paris and had them thrown off the tour. ... the heavy-handed recruitment of Helen O'Hara. … Geno Washington and other strands of the Dexys DNA. … the ad they took in the NME that soured their relationship with the music press. … and how Rowland's approach today remains resolutely unchanged.   Order Nige's book here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Searching-Dexys-Midnight-Runners-Tassell/dp/178512059XSubscribe to Word In Your Ear on Patreon for early - and ad-free - access to all of our content, plus a whole load more!: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

ANARCHO SQUAT SAUNA! What was that? Was that real? Is that just in my head? Where do you start with introductions to songs? Are they a part of the song, do they set the rest of it up, or are they just a side show, a distraction? Sure, there are many great introductions to songs, even if the rest of the song goes haywire, but what about those intros that stick out as a WTF? In this episode, Andrew and Sam investigate the spooky but real world of random introductions to songs. These are introductions that either don't seem to fit, seem tagged on, or just unedited. They both had a bit of a challenge finding them, but they come up with the goods and run the trajectory from hip hop, drug-addled Madchester types to some quite grating 2000s UK indie. So, once again, take up your pitch fork and join them in trying to burn down the Frankensteinian labs of corporate music culture that undermine the ties that bind us. Why pay for your music to be on spotify when they don't give you anything in return, and why vote Labour when they're promising to manage Tory policies slightly more professionally than the Tories? Lets take a note of Kevin Rowland's book and burn it down (not literally?). ### Riffs of the week #### Dr Sam's Riff - Joy of Fire - Thunderdome (intro) #### Andrew's Riff - Bob Vylan - He's a man (0:51) ### Dr Sam's track choices 1.

Helen O'Hara is a talented violinist best known for her contributions to British band Dexys Midnight Runners. Born in London, Helens musical journey began at an early age. She exhibited a natural affinity for the violin, showcasing both technical prowess and a deep emotional connection to the instrument. Her early training and dedication to mastering the violin set the stage for her later success with Dexy's Midnight Runners. She had met the charismatic Kevin Rowland in the late 70s and joined the band in the early 1980s, during a crucial period of the band's evolution. Her introduction added a distinctive and soulful dimension to the band's sound, creating a unique blend of rock, soul, and folk elements that set Dexy's apart in the music scene. Dexys Midnight Runners, originally formed in 1978 in Birmingham, England, by Kevin Rowland, emerged as a prominent force in the New Wave and post-punk movements. The band was characterised by its eclectic musical style, combining elements of soul, pop, and Celtic folk, and was widely recognized for its energetic live performances. The band achieved commercial success with their second album, "Too-Rye-Ay," released in 1982. This album featured some of Dexy's most iconic tracks, including the chart-topping hit "Come On Eileen." The distinctive sound of the album, marked by the prominent use of strings and horns, showcased the influence of Helen O'Hara's violin and contributed significantly to the band's success. After the release of "Too-Rye-Ay," Dexys Midnight Runners underwent a significant transformation. In 1985, Kevin Rowland decided to disband Dexys Midnight Runners and subsequently reformed the group under the simplified name "Dexys." This change reflected Rowland's desire to move away from the Midnight Runners' image and to emphasize a new musical direction. Under the moniker Dexys, the band continued to explore various musical genres and experiment with their sound. While the lineup underwent changes over the years, Helen O'Hara remained a key member, contributing her violin expertise to the evolving Dexy's sound. Despite various challenges and lineup changes, Dexys (formerly Dexys Midnight Runners) continued to release music and tour, leaving an indelible mark on the music industry. The band's legacy endures not only for their chart-topping hits but also for their willingness to push musical boundaries and embrace diverse influences, with Helen O'Hara's violin playing a crucial role in shaping their distinctive sound. The extremely talented and humble Helen O'Hara joins us today as our guest to unravel the story of Dexys, to tell us about her personal journey and to share details of her recently released memoir 'What's She Like.'

Welcome back to another search for the very worst album of all time, yes, it's Trve. Crvp. Pop!. Steve and Sam are back and are looking at My Beauty, the second solo album from former (and current) Dexy's Midnight Runners frontman, released on the 21st of September 1999.Rowland was one of the biggest stars in music in Britain in the 1980's, but after Dexy's split in 1987 he spiralled into depression and drug addiction and decided to quit music. After a spell living on the streets Rowland signed to Creation Records, home of Oasis, Primal Scream, My Bloody Valentine and, of course, 3 Colours Red, and released a set of covers, with the lyrics changed to reflect his recent struggles. It should have been a triumphant comeback, but Rowland decided to portray himself on the front cover wearing a dress and lingerie, much to the confusion of the UK music press, and then turn up fully made up and in a dress at the Reading Festival in 1999 a month before the album was released. It was a disaster and completely overshadowed the music on My Beauty. Rowland, it was reported, only sold 500 copies of the album and he became the punchline to many a joke at the time. But, 24 years on, does the music stand up? ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Dexys, formerly known as Dexys Midnight Runners, is a pop rock band from England that made quite an impact during the 80s, most notably with the singles "Come On Eileen" and "Geno".  Although the band broke up at the end of the 80s, singer, songwriter and frontman Kevin Rowland reformed Dexys in 2003 and followed up with new music almost a decade later. Their latest release is 'The Feminine Divine' (2023) and we spoke with Rowland about the album, his restricted upbringing, the creative process, having something to say, changing his views on women, and a lot more! Interview by: Robin HignellSupport the showThank you for listening!

Lost and Sound meets Kevin Rowland, singer, musician and the frontman of Dexys Midnight Runners, now shortened to simply Dexys.  A true pop maverick - from early 40 hour a week rehearsals and  a band name taken from the Northern Soul drug Dexadrine to those seismic 80s pop moments like Geno and Come On Eileen and the stone cold classic Searching For The Young Soul Rebels album, Kevin has flown in and out of favour, regenerating a bit like a post punk soul tinged Doctor Who. On the eve of the release of the 6th Dexys album, The Feminine Divine, Kevin talks to Paul about creativity, life, Roxy Music and the feminine awakening at the heart of the new music. Lost and Sound is proudly sponsored by Audio-TechnicaThe new Dexys album The Feminine Divine is available  from 28th July 2023Paul's debut book, Coming To Berlin: Global Journeys Into An Electronic Music And Club Culture Capital is out now on Velocity Press.

We all remember Dexys Midnight Runners in the early 80s with "Come On Eileen" as an epic tune that you always smile when it comes across the airwaves on the nostalgia station. Dexys (the current name) have been making music for 40 years, and if you missed out on it, there was some wonderful music made by these guys. There was a moment when Kevin Rowland was trying to make some changes in his live and get sober, that some major changes happened in his image and his approach to things. With the release of an album "My Beauty" that had him dressed in some fine women's attire, he went on to embrace his "Sexy Feminine" side. The press wasn't very kind to him, and somehow took more of an issue with it, and so much was lost there than what the music had to offer. I have been a fan of all of the music, and didn't really think much of what the point was that Kevin Rowland was trying to make, until now. Dexys has released an album called "The Feminine Divine", and there is so much in this album you will have to go through it several times. It is a musical "Fiction" presentation of Kevin's journey out of toxic masculinity, and finding his whole self. Nothing wrong with that, I bless anyone with the kudos to make it that far and in one piece.

Kevin Rowland is the lead singer for Dexys Midnight Runners. (Now called Dexys.) They are an English pop rock band from Birmingham, with soul influences, who achieved major commercial success in the early to mid-1980s. They are best known in the UK for their songs Come on Eileen and Geno, both of which peaked at No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart, as well as six other top-20 singles. Come On Eileen also topped the US Billboard Hot 100, and with extensive airplay on MTV they are associated with the second British Invasion.

 Nico – one-time member of The Velvet Underground - is an enigma in modern rock music.  Despite her wide-ranging influence, her music is not for the faint-hearted.  Mick saw Nico at the Sydney Trade Union Club in 1986 and it was a concert unlike any other. She's not for everybody, or even most people, but have a listen, you'll hear something new and might just broaden your view on the rest of the music you listen to. We discuss why we don't play actual music on our podcast (licensing laws!) and why we put a curated playlist to help you get a feel for what we talk about.  We like to think of our podcast as journalism for your ears! Our album "You Must Hear Before You Die” is Too-Rye-Ay by Dexy's Midnight Runners, featuring the single, “Come On Eileen”, the only single from the album to be a hit.  Adding strings (violin, viola and cello) to the band's existing horn section created a joyous riot of Irish music-influenced pop and soul, with a potent mix of S-E-X! Enjoy!  References:  Martin Mull, TripleJ, APRA, “1001 Albums You Must Hear before You Die”,  Robert Dimery, Too-Rye-Ay, Dexy's Midnight Runners, Kevin Rowland, “Come On Eileen”, Van Morrison, Velvet Underground, “Songs They Never Play on the Radio”, "Chelsea Girls”, John Cale, Lou Reed, Roxy Music, Eno, “June 1, 1974”, Sydney Trade Union Club, Christa Paffgen, Andy Warhol, The Factory,  Andrew Loog Oldham, “I'm Not Saying”, Gordon Lightfoot, The Plastic Exploding Inevitable, “I'll Be Your Mirror”, “All Tomorrow's Parties”, “Femme Fatale”, “Desertshore”, “The Marble Index”, "Janitor of Lunacy", Nico, Cale and Lou Reed, Bataclan ‘72, “Heroes”, Bowie, "The Blue Angel”, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Cure, M0orrissey, Iggy Pop, Elliot Smith, Bjork, Peter Hook, Marianne Faithfull  Books You Are Beautiful, and You Are Alone – Jennifer Otter Bickerdike UPTIGHT!  The Velvet Underground Story – Victor Bockris (Reed, Cale, Stones)  The PlaylistThe Love Boat with Any Warhol

DEXYS MIDNIGHT RUNNERS – DON'T STAND DOWN with special guest Helen O'Hara. This interview took place before and after we listened to the vinyl album. In March 1985, Kevin Rowland, lead singer and songwriter of Dexys Midnight Runners was facing total ruin. Don't Stand Me Down, his labour of love and an album he had spent two years of his life writing, recording and mixing, might just have been burned in a fire at the record label's office in New York, and lost forever. Two years work, and possibly the best album of the eighties might just have gone up in smoke … As composer, violinist, arranger, producer and muse, HELEN O'HARA is at the very heart of Dexys' masterpiece album Don't Stand Me Down. Helen Shares the full, tumultuous story of the making of it in her new memoir What's She Like. We were delighted that Helen was our very special CAT Club guest. In the interviewer's chair was CHRIS MADDEN. This event took place on 27th October 2022 in the Pigeon Loft at The Robin Hood, Pontefract, West Yorkshire.

Join us on this episode as we delve into the story behind the hit song "Come On Eileen" by Dexys Midnight Runners. The song's origins trace back to Kevin Rowland, the band's enigmatic leader, who had a tumultuous adolescence marred by violence and drug use. However, through the guitar, he found a new sense of direction and discovered a love for rock and roll. We'll explore how Rowland's personal struggles and musical influences helped shape the unique sound and energy of "Come On Eileen", a song that became a worldwide hit in 1982 and has remained a beloved classic ever since.

In July of 1982 Dexys Midnight Runners released their sophomore outing. Dressed in the finest of oogle fashions, Kevin Rowland and crew set-off to take over the pop charts. With the addition of strings to their Northern Soul sound, the band proceeded to do just that. Let's talk Dexys Midnight Runners, Too-Rye-Ay!

There could have been no DEXY'S MIDNIGHT RUNNERS without violinist HELEN O'HARA. She has an amazing story to tell and she's written it all into a memoir titled ‘What's She Like', named after the Dexy's Midnight Runners song that she herself inspired. It's an exuberant, joyful account of a classical musical student who suddenly finds herself on Top of the Pops. What's She Like takes in Helen's time working with Tanita Tikaram and Graham Parker before she walked away from music for more than two decades at the start of the 1990s. But inevitably her relationship with Dexys front man KEVIN ROWLAND –both personal and professional – is at the heart of the book. It is even emblazoned on the cover. Helen O'Hara is actually her Dexys name, the one founder and front man Kevin Rowland anointed her with. During our chat, Helen tells us about her early years, that stage name and the dynamics of being a member of one of the 80's most popular British bands. She talks about her enduring friendship with Kevin Rowland so many years after their relationship ended. And she talks about why the recent re-release of the song 'Come On Eileen' was so incredibly important for Rowland.

In July of 1980 Dexys Midnight Runners released their debut album. After disbanding his punk band, Kevin Rowland had a vision; to combine the urgency of punk rock with the Northern Soul scene. To quote Kevin himself: "I'm going to do what I really want to do: form a great group. We'll wear great clothes and make soulful music." Let's talk Dexys Midnight Runners, Searching for the Young Soul Rebels!

In honor of ALS Awareness Month, I asked the listeners, "What do you want to know about ALS & living with a terminal illness, but you're afraid to ask? "   More questions than I could imagine came in, so I asked a few friends living with ALS to help answer these tough questions.  So in this episode, I chat with  Sunny Brous, Kate Nycz, Maceo Carter and Kevin Rowland  as we go through each question submitted by listeners of this podcast.  Between us, our ALS diagnosis ages vary from 27- 47 and years living with ALS spans from 2 to 18 years, so it was great to have a wide range of experience to learn from.   I love the incredible support and curiosity for this unique episode.  We had such an amazing "round table" discussion, I decided to have 2 episodes so we could address all the questions.  In this part 2/2, we answer questions about mental strength, the grieving process, bucket list, sex/intimacy, thoughts on getting a trach, fears about what's to come, planning our own funeral and more.  If you missed part 1, we answered questions about fears of dying, mental health, survivor's guilt, what brings joy, boundaries and faith.  I hope you'll listen in and share with a friend to help us create more awareness of ALS.  Hugs, Lorri              Follow:          https://bit.ly/ImDyingToTellYouInstagram

This week, we have a little "dumb fun" and take a trip to the classic alternative monuments that we have erected in our minds. In this episode, we pick the five faces that we would put on our respective mountains. Five, you ask? Doesn't Mt. Rushmore only have four? You are correct, history buffs...but we felt like we had to one-up some rocks in South Dakota.  Take that, national landmark!   If the Lads seem a little, uh, weird this week, it's because Uncle Gregg has the 'Vid. We're not sure what Brett's excuse is. The good news for all of you is that it means that we cover a whole buncha unrelated topics that we are in no way qualified to talk about: Science-y stuff! Infectious diseases! Baby animals! Beer sponsorships! Soft drinks! Climate change!  Sports!  An inspirational message to Generation Whatever-You're-Called!   P.S. Kevin Rowland from Dexys, Random Guy from Pentatonix, Matthew Wilder and Yoko do not make it on our lists...but we'd pay to actually see that, wouldn't you!?!?   #musicpodcast #musicpodcasts #mtrushmore #classicalternativemusic #punkrock #postpunk #newwave #80smusic #90smusic #grunge #alternativerock #musiclegends #RIPRonnieSpector

Work - annoying, busy, but that's the way the cookie crumbles. Was thinking during the day that I'd stay on overnight and burn the midnight oil but I got bored of it. Will try to get up early and do some stuff tomorrow. Listened to Dexy's Midnight Runners for the first time in ages. So good. Listened to Kevin Rowland's My Beauty album for the first time. Hated it! Somerton Man was on Australian Story. Thought they were going to announce findings from the exhumation. Just retold the story and then said that they're studying stuff they dug up now. Maybe we'll have some answers soon. Did a dinner collab with mum. Not bad. A lady borrowed a wire coat hanger off me. M: 4. E: 4. L: 0.

The latest episode of the podcast which asks; is the tie clip the least Rock accessory?Remember the last Xmas episode? When 1983 revealed itself to be not as catshit as we thought it was? Well, in this episode your hosts – who at the time this episode went out were staring out of the window at the glorious panorama of Barry, writing plays about Jesus getting The Chair and electing to have a Tefal Man haircut, respectively - have a tentative sniff of a regular episode from that year, and what unfolded knocked us bandy. No word of a lie, Pop-Crazed Youngsters; this is possibly, pound-for-pound, the best episode of The Pops we've encountered so far.

He also explains how Primal Scream got from Sonic Flower Groove to Screamadelica; how he almost signed Teenage Fanclub's idol Alex Chilton; how My Bloody Valentine's Loveless did (or didn't) almost bankrupt his & Dick Green's baby; and how appalled Sony were by Kevin Rowland's My Beauty album after the company acquired 49% of Creation's shares in 1992.Slightly cheekily, RBP's co-hosts then force Alan to listen to clips from a 2007 audio interview with Alex James of Oasis's Britpop nemesis Blur — except it turns out he never really hated those soft southern Sassenachs in the first place: it was all the Gallaghers' fault. Quel surprise…After paying their respects to fallen pop heroes Wayne Fontana, Trini Lopez and Seeds guitarist Jan Savage, Barney & Jasper talk through their highlights of the week's new "library load ". These include Lillian Roxon's 1966 report on "Music City USA" (i.e. Nashville); Michael Goldberg's 1983 report on MTV's exclusion of Black music videos; Joni Mitchell bellyaching in 1981 about being "written out of rock history"; a breathless 2002 review of Scandi garage rockers the Hives live at London's Astoria, and a riveting Aphex Twin interview from 2003…Pieces discussed: Creation, Creationer, Creationest, Jesus & Mary Chain, Vile Evil from East Kilbride, Primal Scream, Blur's Alex James audio, Wayne Fontana, Trini Lopez, The Seeds' Jan Savage, Death Discs, Nashville, Wizzard, Patti Smith, MTV, Joni Mitchell, Cleveland punk, Jerry Ragovoy, The Hives, Aphex Twin and Beyoncé.This show is part of Pantheon Podcasts.

In the third episode of our Lockdown Lowdown series, we welcome Raymond Gorman, guitarist and vocalist with The Everlasting Yeah and That Petrol Emotion into the virtual Retrosonic Podcast studio. In this thoroughly entertaining episode Raymond talks us through some of his most memorable musical moments from hearing The Beatles for the first time and impressing the girls with his dancing to T-Rex. He explains about various gigs and records that made an impact on him and his guitar playing and there are some candid stories of why he stopped playing piano, why he couldn't get into the legendary Casbah Club and how That Petrol Emotion almost signed to Creation. Along the way we learn about his encounters with Iggy Pop, Kevin Rowland, John Cooper-Clarke, Pete Wylie, Dieter Meyer of Yello, Ian McLagan and of course The Undertones. This hugely enjoyable trip down memory lane is soundtracked by some of Raymond's favourite tunes from The Beatles, Marc Bolan & T-Rex, Taste (featuring Rory Gallagher), Horslips, The Undertones, Dexy's Midnight Runners, Iggy Pop, The Sweet and David Bowie.

(Recorded 3-19-20) Katie, Anthony, and Kevin talk about COVID-19, staying positive in the midst of uncertainty, overcoming fears, quarantine life during the coronavirus, and how they made it through an entire episode without coughing even once in this special release episode of Life Off the Mat. Without Jiu-Jitsu, Katie Williamson, Kevin Rowland and Anthony Polanco probably wouldn't have crossed paths in the real world. After a few years of training together at Elite Team BJJ in Visalia, CA these three realized they actually have a lot more in common than sweeps and submissions. Though they range from age 28 to 58, Kevin, Katie, and Anthony share a passion for getting the most out of life and inspiring others to do the same. Bridging the generational gap to show we are not all that different, these three professional consultants and prolific achievers hope their conversations off the mat inspire and encourage you to pursue your dreams and live life to your full potential, no matter what age you are. These are their stories of overcoming hardship, pursuing their big dreams, and finding their understandings of GOD in the midst of it all. This is "Life Off the Mat."

Kevin Antony Rowland (nacido el 17 de agosto de 1953) es un cantante y compositor de origen irlandés de ascendencia irlandesa y líder para la banda Dexys Midnight Runners (actualmente llamada Dexys ), que tuvo varios éxitos a principios de los 80 "Geno" y "Come On Eileen", ambos de los cuales alcanzaron el número uno en las listas de singles del Reino Unido.

Kevin Rowland tells Róisín Ingle why he's grateful for Dexy's Midnight Runners' biggest hit, Come On Eileen, but you shouldn’t expect to hear him play it any time soon. Nearly thirty-five years on, Come On Eileen still gets played on the radio, but Rowland said he rarely hears it unless somebody is trying to provoke him. In a wide-ranging discussion he speaks about his former career as a hairdresser, his parents who came from county Mayo and the time he spent there as a child, why he is not bothered that he is not rich, and said he feels, “more at peace these days than I ever have.”

On this week’s Róisín Meets podcast, Cavan singer-songwriter Lisa O'Neill joins Róisín Ingle to talk about her third album, Pothole in the Sky. She also speaks about what it was like to work with her heroes Billy Bragg and Kevin Rowland, and how she tried to like All Saints music, but just couldn't fake it.

Music critic Pete Paphides tells the story behind three 'follow-up' albums - from Dexys Midnight Runners, Fleetwood Mac and Suede - with tales of musical pressure, creative differences, personal politics and mixed results. How many bands have found themselves with a massive and often unexpected hit album, only to struggle with the creation of their next opus? Sometimes the follow-up exceeds the first album, but often nerves kick in and bands are removed from the very stimulus that created their magic in the first place, finding themselves in a world of creative confusion, sycophants and accountants. Pete Paphides talks to musicians, producers, and critics to explore the stories of follow-up albums with the same expert knowledge he brought to Lost Albums. Programme 1: Dexys Midnight Runners - Don't Stand Me Down. Kevin Rowland and Helen O'Hara give rare interviews about a pivotal time in Dexys Midnight Runners' history. Having been the best selling UK band of 1982 with their massive hit single Come On Eileen and the hugely popular album Too-Rye-ay, Dexys took some time to consider what to do next. Don't Stand Me Down was brave and different to Too-Rye-Ay. Rowland had a clear vision and went to great lengths to record and mix it to his own specifications. His interest in his Irish roots and Irish politics was one of the themes of the record. Misunderstood in its day, it received poor reviews but has since gone on to receive critical acclaim. Produced by Laura Parfitt A White Pebble Media Production for BBC Radio 4.

Our very first Bantercast is an interview with the legendary Alan McGee. He recently dropped into Banter in Dublin's Twisted Pepper for a chat about Creation Stories, his ace new autobiography.

This week the team gather to discuss a Pastor getting real over gay rights, a bit of Cheryl Cole Jubilee gossip, Co-Op supporting the gays, and Carrie Underwood coming out for marriage equality. Plus Amy goes to Stockholm, Lucio hangs out with Kevin Rowland, and Baylen gets older.

Danny De Vito discusses his comedy double-act with Richard Griffiths; Sacha Baron Cohen's new film The Dictator is reviewed. Writers Paul Abbott and Sean Conway discuss their new TV series Hit & Miss.

With John Wilson. Kevin Rowland discusses the changing face of Dexys Midnight Runners, who topped the charts three decades ago with Come On Eileen, and now release their first album in 27 years. Painter Brice Marden reflects on the golden age of American art and his early years as Robert Rauschenberg's assistant and as a guard on a Jasper Johns retrospective. British ballgowns from the past 60 years are the focus of a major new exhibition, which features dresses from the days of the debutante, as well as contemporary pieces from Alexander McQueen and Giles Deacon. Fashion writer and historian Bronwyn Cosgrave reviews. The Archbishop Of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, chooses his favourite piece of Shakespeare, as part of the BBC's Shakespeare Unlocked season. Producer Stephen Hughes.

I first put this mix together a few years ago when we were recording The Crabapples to show the engineer what kind of sounds we were looking for. I've wound up listening to it quite a bit since then though, and I think this batch of songs pretty well represents a lot of what inspired me to start the label and make music myself: smart, succinct tunes with equal measures of noise and melody, played with maximum passion and minimum nonsense. 1. The Mekons - Where Were You? (7", Fast Product, 1978) - A spiteful punk rock love song from these Leeds legends. I'll be a heretic and say they're not my favorite band of all time, but the two singles on Fast always do the business for me.2. Subway Sect - Nobody's Scared (7", Braik, 1978) - Abrasively amazing artifact is the only real document of Subway Sect's first incarnation. I can only imagine how great an album they could have made at the time, and the recently released 1978 album of re-recorded 1977/1978 tracks only leaves me wanting the real thing.3. Swell Maps - Another Song (A Trip To Marineville LP, Rough Trade, 1979) - The Swell Maps kind of epitomize for me the prolific experimentation and restless energy of the early Rough Trade days. A total, glorious mess.4. Henry's Dress - Over 21 (7", Slumberland, 1996) - Henry's Dress were my favorite band for years and their records still blow my mind. An amazing mix of a super-catchy song and crazy guitar and bass noise, this song is from a split tour single with Rocketship and might be my favorite Dress moment.5. Blank Students - Background Music (Earcom 1 EP, Fast Product, 1979) - The post-punk DIY explosion was full of bands that made one great record or released one great song, and while I don't know anything about this band, the anonymity of it makes me love it even more.6. Jasmine Minks - What's Happening? (7", Creation, 1985) - Early Minks singles tend to be more modish and 60s sounding, but this single has kind of a spare, minimal punkiness to it that I always really loved. What a tune, what a band.7. Sportique - Definition '79 (Modern Museums 10", Matinée/WIAIWYA, 2002) - Greg Webster and mates delivered three mini-lps and a bunch of singles full of bristly, catchy, immediate punk-pop gems. This song argues for a rebirth of the DIY post-punk spirit of excitement, and I can dig it.8. Groove Farm - Just A Silly Phase I'm Going Through (Airspace II LP, Breaking Down, 1990) - Breathlessly fast guitar playing, shout-along vocals and quality indie horns. What's not to like?9. This Poison! - Poised Over The Pause Button (7", Reception, 1987) - The two This Poison! singles are just about legendary around my house. Being from Leeds and on Reception there is definitely a kinship to The Wedding Present, but TP! had incredible songs and a sound all their own. The comp on Egg is 100% essential.10. The Charlottes - Are You Happy Now? (7", Molesworth, 1988) - The Charlottes went on to some amount of shoegaze-pop fame on Subway and later Cherry Red, but this slice of rushing girlie pop is my favorite record of theirs. Dig the wild drumming!11. Mousefolk - Crazy Mixed-Up Kid (Songs Of Love And Hate EP, Teatime, 1989) - One of my absolute favorite post-C86 bands. Mousefolk were mainstays of the late 80s pop tape comp scene, and their is a sweet, homemade sincerity to their sound that elevates it way beyond most of the twee-by-the-numbers bands of that era. Plus, they rocked.12. Bubblegum Splash - Plastic Smile (Splashdown EP, Subway, 1987) - Only a few comp tracks and one single from this group, but what a single it is. Super-simple songs, basic buzzsaw guitar and, shall we say, untutored vocals. A great example of punk's "anyone can do it" ethic at the heart of C86 pop.13. The Slits - Shoplifting (Peel Session, 1977) - As much as I like Cut, there's something amazingly raw about the earlier '77-era tracks captured in their Peel Sessions and the untitled Rough Trade LP that really gets me going. "Let's Do The Split" is way up there as well - when the Slits played SF last year they had so much fun with it they played it twice. Pretty cool.14. The Killjoys - Johnny Won't Get To Heaven (7", Raw, 1977) - Nasty, bludgeoning '77 punk from the Midlands, featuring a young and apparently very angry Kevin Rowland. Pure amphetamine energy, and what a punchy sound. Classic single.15. Action Painting! - Laying The Lodger (7", Damaged Goods, 1994) - I have a very soft spot for Action Painting!'s noisier songs, and as much as I love "Classical Music" and "Collapsing Cloud," it's the out-of-control vibe of this single that marks it as my favorite. Magic.16. Boyracer - Spiteful Punk Rock Song #2 (AUL 36X EP, Slumberland, 1994) - One of my favorite bands of all time, so many sound to pick from how would you choose? This was the band's first Slumberland release and I have very fond memories of hearing them play it live and pogo-ing like a madman with A Turntable Friend's Ulrich.17. Buzzcocks - Breakdown (Spiral Scratch EP, New Hormones, 1977) - One could almost say the record that started it all. One of the first independently-released punk singles, and it just happens to be one of the best, IMHO. Howard Devoto's sneered, bored vocals are a perfect complement to the sawed-off, strangled guitar and tumbling drums. Buzzcocks are of course one of the greatest bands ever, but I'm surprised how many people I talk to aren't down with this record. Squares.18. Josef K - Sorry For Laughing (7", Crepuscule/Postcard, 1981) - The Postcard label remains a huge inspiration for me, and the alienated strum of this single is one of my faves. Josef K's blend of dark, angular post-punk and pop always surprises and delights, and I just love the trebly, scratchy guitar sound.19. Fire Engines - Lubricate Your Living Room (Lubricate Your Living Room LP, Fast Product, 1980) - What is it about Scotland? So much amazing music, and the Fire Engines post-Television/Velvet Underground guitar cacophony stands tall with the best. "Lubricate Your Living Room" was the theme to my radio show on WMUC back in the mid-80s, and even though I've listened to it about a thousand times I never tire of it. If you don't have their records already, the Fire Engines comp that Acute put out in 2007 is not to be missed.
