This is part 1 of a double episode. For the first time, Simon welcomes Chris Wellings to the podcast to pour over what some may consider to be Indie Landfill, the summer of 2005's compilation album Festival, but this one is chock-full of big hitters. This double disc cd was squarely aimed at the mainstream side of festival-goers of the year including a host of headliner-worthy acts as well as a few outliers too. On this first part we welcome Chris with open arms and discuss the tunes provided by Oasis, Feeder, The Ordinary Boys and plenty more.

Although this week's amazing guest, singer, songwriter Sam Preston has brought with him an epic celebrity past couple to analyze in the form of Lisa Marie Presley & Nicholas Cage, one of his own past relationships has also achieved iconic status and was a matter of time before it was featured on this show.  In the mid-noughties, the lovely Sam was better known as 'Preston', singer with The Ordinary Boys, and met his future wife Chantelle in the Celebrity Big Brother House.  Sam talks not only about the bizarre escapades of his chosen couple, but also what it's like to suffer a break-up in the full glare of press and publicity,

Welcome to summer 2006! And things were, indeed, Crazy. That top selling nine-week run at No1 was significant for not just featuring (the not crime fighting rodent) Dangermouse but for being the first UK chart topper to make it there purely on downloads (remember them?) alone. But of course, you knew that chart fact already, didn't you, pop pickers?But there is so much more to rediscover on NOW 64, as we dive back amongst those shiny cover surf boards to ride the crest of this noughties pop wave. Classic Pop writer, journalist and all-round (indie) pop kid John Earls guides us through the hits and otherwise across these two CDs. Where to begin? There's the solid gold pop classics thanks to Nelly Furtardo, Lily Allen, Sugababes and Rihanna; those young cavalier guitar heroes (can we say indie?) The Kooks, Razorlight and The Zutons, and a plethora (the correct collective noun) of outrageous dance covers that certainly signalled that the eighties were back! What was going on? Ask James Morrison – whilst stuck at the end of CD2, he was quietly inventing the next decade!As Top of The Pops turned off the lights for the final time, the singles charts were undergoing some strange times for sure. Could those CD singles (and B-sides!) really be on their way out too?And don't forget the all-conquering celebrity Big Brother winner Preston and the Ordinary Boys (and Lady Sovereign!) Could there BE a more 2006 sentence?Also starring P!nk, Keane, (Sir) Tom Jones, the ‘efficient' Will.I.Am, Izzy from Neighbours (thanks to Elvis Costello!) and (very briefly, thankfully) Matt Willis and Fall Out Boy. We even find time to chat Blossoms/Rick Astley! How on earth did we get there, I hear you (possibly) ask? Tune in to find out!And finally, discover why Shapeshifters (but not Nile Rodgers) won't be returning our Christmas cards.Phew! Trust us, there is a lot more to summer 2006 and NOW 64 than you may think. Dive back in! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Preston and his band The Ordinary Boys made waves when they emerged on the scene in 2004 with a string of hits and a highly acclaimed debut album. Then they were thrust into the mainstream with Preston's appearance on Celebrity Big Brother in 2006. There was chart success and intense media scrutiny, which culminated in an infamous episode of Nevermind the Buzzcocks, before the band split in 2008. Preston reflects on the highs and lows of that period - but also his journey since then which has seen him become a songwriter for pop stars such as Olly Murs, Liam Payne and even Enrique Inglesias and Kylie Minogue.

EPISODE 139: “Meandering Toward Mediocrity” This week Host Dave Bledsoe realizes he was born mediocre, then achieved mediocrity and had more mediocrity thrust upon him. On the show this week we ask if a little mediocrity is such a bad thing. (It's certainly common enough.) Along the way we learn that Dave is not a disappointment to his parents. (They knew where he would wind up all along.) We assess the potential of most Americans and find the overwhelming majority of them not special. We spend a lot of time explaining why America the country is only So-So as far as nations go, and why we can never hold a candle to our colonial mother country. (I mean we can't even occupy India!) We also clearly lay out how, culturally speaking, we will always operate at a deficit. (We are looking at Kardashians!) In our Wayback this week, we explain why it is a VERY bad idea for nation-states to believe they are better than other nations--and you KNOW who we are talking about!

The Toadcast - the weekly podcast from Song, by Toad

Given how little time I've had to do anything recently, I certainly haven't been able to make time for new music.  So this means that this week's podcast is a little backward-facing really, looking at some of the 80s and 90s music I was into at the time - not the most famous stuff, just some of the stuff I personally liked the best, of course.Back when I was at Uni in the 90s, when 80s music was utterly reviled, I remember making a tape of 80s music I thought was good, and really, really enjoying it.  Had I made a similar tape for the 90s a few years back, when they too were taking their turn at the bottom of the pile, then bands like Arnold, The Delgados (although they straddled the 90s and the 00s), Yo La Tengo, Eels and Clem Snide would have been right in there.I can't quite bring myself to do the same for the early 2000s just yet, but they too will inevitably be hated in their turn. If you doubt me, just mention The Killers, Razorlight, The Ordinary Boys, Hard-fi or The Libertines to any self-respecting music snob!01. Morrissey - You're Gonna Need Someone On Your Side (00.57)02.
