Podcast appearances and mentions of Louise Wener

#350 Docking - Richard had written an actual joke and been dreaming of tiny animal attacks, plus performing music in quite an unusual way. His guest it arguably a more accomplished musician - it's the impossibly cool and talented Louise Wener. They discuss the similarities of their experiences of school and the 90s, what it's like to appear on Top of the Pops (and the impossibility of both of them getting on the show), writing your own reviews, the sexism of the music industry, stealing Blur's cheese and why being a rock star is better the second time around.To see Rich on tour head here http://richardherring.com/ballback/tourCome and see RHLSTP live http://richardherring.com/rhlstpSUPPORT THE SHOW!Watch our TWITCH CHANNELSee extra content at our WEBSITE Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/rhlstp.

Would you wear a jerkin?Welcome back to The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X Podcast, this week we found out that Captain Crapbeard has a big bum big bum and he still turns ladies on…We saw January out with a jan-packed week of guests, starting with Louise Wener from the band Sleeper, who are going on tour to celebrate 30 years of ‘Inbetweener', and Chris looked back on his memory (or lack of) from the last time he went to a Sleeper gig.Then we switched gear with F1 legend David Coulthard, who answered all our car racing questions and showed off his engine knowledge. If one David isn't enough, we also had David Baddiel and his good friend Dan Gillespie Sells (that's a lot of names), who told Chris and the team all about the brand new musical they've made of David's book: ‘The Parent Agency'.Last but certainly not least, we hit top gear with Richard Hammond himself. Chris and the team chatted to Richard about the new season of his podcast Who Are We Now, and whether he can or can't daydream…We know you didn't ask for more, but we have a bit of this:The return of the Pubcast!Jammy James is jammy againI'm brown da ba dee da ba di Enjoy!The Chris Moyles Show on Radio XWeekdays 6:30am - 10am

Stardom Road was Marc Almond's first release since his near-fatal motorcycle accident in 2004. It was a long, dark path to recovery that left him unable to write songs and he required singing lessons to find his voice again. Once over that hurdle, Marc returned to the studio to work on a covers album, the concept being that the selected songs contained a narrative relating to his life. Stardom Road was over two years in the making, the project growing from humble beginnings to full orchestral productions of some well-known classics and several obscure, lesser-known tracks. We talk about each song individually, delve deeper into the track selections and discuss how Marc's versions compare to the originals, culminating in an album rating out of ten from both of us. We made a Spotify playlist of the original recordings, which creates an enjoyable comparative experience. You can listen here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/74cWCP3yhNbgJ296XLDfNB?si=1ae316ca2fac49f8 We also had a lovely message from Katarina Kovac, who explained how she discovered Marc Almond before going on to record this incredible cover of his song 'Only The Moment': https://youtu.be/EuY9-oa5iDI?si=IknKS0-hF0ibYCE8 Our review of the UK singles and album charts for the week of release in June 2007 noted a tangible difference between the artists and styles, with the singles chart full of nightclub-friendly heavy beats and samples from the likes of Akon, Gym Class Heroes, Hellogoodbye, and Mutya Buena covering Bob Marley and the Whalers, Supertramp, Avril Lavigne, and Lenny Kravitz respectively. The album charts were much more band-centric and featured singers with musicians, rather than electronically generated sounds, such as Amy Winehouse, Maroon 5, Pigeon Detectives, Kaiser Chiefs, Michael Buble, and the Arctic Monkeys. Our Top 3 picks for this episode were our favourite duets.

This episode Tim is joined by one of the iconic figures from the 1990s British indie rock scene. Fronting the band Sleeper, Louise Wener was one of the biggest female stars in the Britpop era. She takes Tim through the band's second album, the It Girl, which was released in 1996 and reached the top 5 of the album charts, going platinum in the UK. It is one of the lasting records of the era and they discuss standing out in a music world that was considerably dominated by male bands, journalists and execs, escaping life the suburbs for the stage and their love of Blondie.The It Girl was released on 6th May 1996 on Indolent.

Frances Quinn grew up in London and read English at King's College, Cambridge, realising too late that the course would require more than lying around reading novels for three years. After snatching a degree from the jaws of laziness, she became a journalist, writing for magazines including Prima, Good Housekeeping, She, Woman's Weekly and Ideal Home, and later branched out into copywriting, producing words for everything from Waitrose pizza packaging to the EasyJet in-flight brochure. In 2013, she won a place on the Curtis Brown Creative novel writing course, and started work on her first novel. The Smallest Man was published in 2021 by Simon & Schuster with her follow up, That Bonesetter Woman, set for 2022. She lives in Brighton, with her husband and two Tonkinese cats.  Frances's ChoicesAdventures of the Little Wooden Horse by Ursula Moray Williams Half Life of Stars by Louise Wener Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott The Bomber by Liza Marklund The Vizard Mask by Diana NormanOther books and media mentioned:ABBA musicSwedish crime writers Camilla Lackberg, Stieg Larsson and Viveca StenJulia mentioned using MidJourney to create fantastic character studies and visualisations as writers and readers.

A new 7” single every month throughout 2022. 24 Songs sees David Gedge writing with legendary Sleeper guitarist Jon Stewart for the first time, and a more perfect union could not have been predicted. The first release includes a gorgeous duet featuring David and Louise Wener [also from Sleeper] on ‘We Should Be Together', and it's coupled with a rousing new track called ‘Don't Give Up Without A Fight' which combines classic Wedding Present feistiness with a Krautrock finale.

A review of the debut album by The Wedding Present, George Best, from 1987. Kate questions when and where Rick purchased the LP knowing that his musical journey of discovery wasn't developed to such obscure indie tastes at the age of 15 when the LP was released. On her Wedding Present research journey, Kate discovers their latest release - Locked Down and Stripped Back - and the record quicky gets added to her Spotify playlist. She's particularly taken by their cover of the Sleeper song 'We should be together' featuring vocals from Louise Wener. We have the first podcast reviews in (even though they were from Rick's best mate and his cousin - cheers Dave and Dave!) and Kate discovers that 1987 wasn't the non-event she had envisaged - in fact, it was very much a year of strife and disaster around the globe. We visit the list of the 'Top 50 American Bands of all time' published by Ultimate Classic Rock, counting down from 50-36 and aren't impressed! We talk about producer Steve Albini, The Pixies, their LP Surfer Rosa, and fab American band 'OK-GO' (who would comfortably sit in our list of the top 20 groups from the USA!). In particular we give a huge thumbs up to their top, top single 'Here it Goes Again'. If you've never seen the video, stop reading now and go watch it on YouTube!! Finally, we discuss what we've been watching on TV, and what books we've been reading. Strong reading recommendations for 'Invisible Women' by Caroline Criado Perez from Kate, and 'I am The Messenger' by Markus Zusak (author of The Book Thief) from Rick.

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

Comienzo y final del programa. Paul Weller iguala a Lennon y McCartney en eso de ser número uno de ventas en UK en cinco décadas. Lo fue en los 80´s con "The gift" con The Jam y "Our favourite shop" con Style Council,y ya en solitario en los 90´s con "Stanley road", en los 00´s con "Illumination" y "22 dreams", en los 10´s con "Sonik kicks" y ahora con su flamante "On sunset". Mientras Sleeper con Louise Wener al frente que volvieron con disco incluso el año pasado han hecho una versión remozada de aquel "Vegas" y le han puesto de apellido el año presente. También fueron noticias del día la edición 20 años del "Parachutes" de Coldplay, el homenaje a la primera cantante que tuvo Fairport Convention, Judy Dyble, que apenas grabó el primer disco y al nieto de Elvis Presley, Benjamin Keough,que apenas contaba 27 años. Hubo un tiempo más o menos folky y campero con Dan Croll y otro avance de "Grand plan", Margo Price y su estreno para Loma Vista y Emily Barker sintiendo en verde y plantando árboles. y todo ello al lado de Gordon Lightfoot en la puerta de su casa celebrando los 153 años de Canadá, su país. También es novedad la versión que ha hecho Bombay Bicycle Club de un tema de Bonnie Raitt del año 77 por culpa de su padre y los viajes familiares en coche. Además, el Ep que viene se llama como el tema porque hay canciones que tienen dos vidas. No nos olvidamos de que también sonó el nuevo tema original de Carla Bruni y la banda sonora del cuarto episodio de la serie de Jota Armijos "La que se nos viene encima". Y en la hora extra sonaron discos de 1984 firmados por The Style Council, Sade, Everything but The Girl, Blancmange, Prince, Wham, Bananarama, Wang Chung, Depeche Mode, Bronski Beat, Cocteau Twins, Lloyd Cole & The Commotions y Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Escuchar audio

Music legend and part-time detective Louise Wener grabbed a four-pack and swooped in to assist the Drunk Women with a case known by many as 'The Bat Man Case' (a side note, those of you cohabiting with a partner might want to check the attic occasionally). Louise displays top sleuthing skills when she helps a listener get to the bottom of what happened to her goldfish and if her student days are anything to go by, her forensic abilities were probably acquired later in life. Don't forget to put your unsolved crime in a review and upcoming guests may be able to solve it! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

With Kirsty Lang. Untouchable, a French comedy film about a wealthy disabled man and his young impoverished carer, has proved an unlikely hit across Europe, even taking more than Avatar in some countries. Critic Agnes Poirier explains its unexpected popularity and delivers her verdict. Shout To The Top is a new music drama coming to BBC Radio 2, about a young girl band starting out in the 1980s.

Lewis / Joe Young / Fred Ahlert)From the musical Monte Cristo Jr. Here are the lyrics (again, as well as I can make 'em out):Looking through my historyI find a little mysteryAbout a certain dame.How did little PocahontasTake John Smith for all his wampus?There! I know her game!He taught her how to play poker --She sent him home without his dough.But every time that John came backHe found her with a larger stack.Here's what I'd like to know . . . Now, who played poker with Pocahontas when John Smith went away?She always dressed up so pretty.Somebody must have spent the kitty.She wore a bluff just like every Indian that led John astray.Johnny's pipe of peace goes out the day he quit.When he came home he found his piece of pipe was lit.Now, who played poker with Pocahontas when John Smith went away?Now, who played poker with Pocahontas when John Smith went away?She always dressed up so pretty.Somebody must have set the kitty.She wore a bluff just like every Indian that led John astray.He called on her one cold night in an awful storm.She had no coat but still he kept her always warm.Now, who played poker with Pocahontas when John Smith went away?“Tales from the Tables” by Bob Woolley(a.k.a.
