Ciego y desconcertado, se vio obligado a escuchar la radio para aliviar su angustia. I Trawl the Megahertz trata, en esencia, del simple acto de seguir adelante con la vida.

Tókst Paddy McAloon að knýja fram eina bestu poppplötu allra tíma með sveit sinni Prefab Sprout árið 1985? Og er Steve McQueen virkilega það meistaraverk sem fólk segir það vera? Og er McAloon virkilega frá Norðymbralandi, gengur við staf í dag og með galdramannalegra útlit en sjálfur Merlin? Einhverju af þessu verður svarað í þætti vikunnar. #0242 Pink Floyd - The Piper At the Gates of Dawn

In this episode, we explore the story behind Prefab Sprout's hit song "Cars and Girls" released in 1988. The song was written by the band's frontman, Paddy McAloon, a renowned musical genius known for his smooth melodies and silky lyrics.  McAloon's songwriting skills are evident in "Cars and Girls," a song that features one of rock's biggest stars, Bruce Springsteen himself. McAloon's lyrics offer a satirical take on America's car culture and its obsession with Hollywood glamour, while the song's infectious melody and catchy hooks make it an instant classic.  Join us as we delve into the making of this timeless pop rock gem and explore the creative process behind one of Prefab Sprout's most beloved songs.

Adore. That's the keyword with Prefab Sprout's 1985 album "Steve McQueen" (aka "Two Wheels Good"). I adore this wonderful collection of heartfelt, sophisticated, slick yet earnest perfect pop songs - a perfect sonic marriage between frontman Paddy McAloon and producer Thomas Dolby, along with many others... Joining me to revel in the wonder of this vastly underrated band is Joseph Shabason, friend of the pod and fantastic ambient/jazz composer, producer, saxophonist, etc. https://www.niagaramoonmusic.com/ https://josephshabason.com/

If one of the secrets to longevity in the music industry is simply taking your time, then Danish alternative rock band Mew are grand masters. Formed in 1995, the band took eight years before a major label deal came along, and with it, international success (the superb breakthrough album Frengers). It did not lead to a rush. Some 26 years into the band's career, Mew has released just seven studio albums - one every four years. That's not something Spotify would advocate as an operating model for bands these days, is it?  It's rare for a European rock band to breakthrough to an international audience and to have a career of real longevity (count them on one hand), but it is even rarer to be so damned cool about it! Yet Jonas Bjerre is unfazed by any concept of FOMO - or the creator equivalent ‘FOBF' - fear of being forgotten. In fact, when the band released their last LP  ‘Visuals' in 2017 just two years after the 2015 album ‘+ -', Jonas's overwhelming instinct was that fans were not expecting it. Visuals plays from beginning to end like a stage musical, something I put to Mew singer Jonas Bjerre on the Art of Longevity. It may well have been the influence of Prefab Sprout and Paddy McAloon. When it comes to influences, Mew are true musical alchemists. While many ‘rock' (as in guitar rock) bands have eclectic and ‘classic pop' influences, very few can meld them successfully into their own sound. Perhaps it's because of the restrictive formulas of rock, or not wanting to upset fans. Not so with Mew. One minute they're all off-kilter time signatures and dissonant guitar noises, the next, soaring, beautiful and catchy pop - nicely topped off with Jonas' angelic vocals. Listen in to hear a truly unique way of working. Jonas and Mew don't rush anything, but the results are often sublime. It is good to hear that the band is talking about another project - even if it is early days and Jonas would also like a break before. Sometimes as a music fan, patience is a virtue and the rewards are all the sweeter. Support the show (https://www.songsommelier.com)

Bruce Springsteen gelingt es in seinen Texten die Geschichten des kleines Mannes zu erzählen, oder? Paddy McAloon ist anderer Meinung und schreibt einen sehr ironischen Song über Springsteen und darüber, dass es Wichtigeres gibt als Frauen und Autos.

#47 O mundo visto de dentro do tubo. Nesse episódio do Bóia, choveu mudanças da WSL e acabou pingando assuntos periféricos como o livro, The World in the Curl: An Unconventional History of Surfing, desmistificando o renascimento romantico do surfe nos anos 1920 e mostrando o quanto podemos ser apenas homens de negócio mesmo quando nos divertimos. Julio Adler, Bruno Bocayuva, Tito Rosemberg e João Valente, cada qual no seu cantinho, se espalham por temas tão variados quanto os 40 anos da morte do mestre do suspense, Alfred Hitchcock, o ermitão Paddy McAloon, o amaldiçoado surfe de alma, Zé Augusto Aguiar e Erik Logan.

This interview with Prefab Sprout’s Paddy McAloon is the first of a new series of interviews in which Pete Paphides talks about beautiful records, usually but not always with the people who made them. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Prefab Sprout's Paddy McAloon joins Simon and Brian to talk about the writing process behind his orchestral masterpiece I Trawl The Megahertz. In this in-depth conversation, Paddy explains the unusual situation that led to the record, how he experimented with radio dialogue, voiceover narration, and his ancient Atari computer to create its fascinating soundscapes. This episode represents Sodajerker's first ever repeat guest, with Paddy having appeared originally on episode 53.

In a cold UK the music year starts to warm up. Some excellence delivered already - I'm especially enjoying Deerhunter; James Blake and Beriut but for me, best so far is the remastered Paddy McAloon album 'I trawl the megahertz' re-released as a Prefab Sprout album.

Jarvis Cocker navigates the ether as he continues his nocturnal exploration of the human condition. On a night voyage across a sea of shortwave he meets those who broadcast, monitor and harvest electronic radio transmissions after dark. Paddy McAloon, founder of the band Prefab Sprout, took to trawling the megahertz when he was recovering from eye surgery and the world around him became dark. Tuning in at night he developed a ghostly romance with far off voices and abnormal sounds. Artist Katie Paterson and 'Moonbouncer' Peter Blair send Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata to the moon and back, to find sections of it swallowed up by craters. Journalist Colin Freeman was captured by the Somali pirates he went to report on and held hostage in a cave. But when one of them loaned him a shortwave radio, the faint signal to the outside world gave him hope as he dreamed of freedom. And "London Shortwave" hides out in a park after dark, with his ear to the speaker on his radio, slowly turning the dial to reach all four corners of the earth Jarvis sails in and out of their stories - from the cosmic to the captive - as he wonders what else is out there, deep in the noise Producer Neil McCarthy.

Shock World Service 045 We Are The Moment, Built To Last by Cian Ó Cíobháin 18/01/12 Galway, Ireland 1. Arthur Russell – A Little Lost Another paeon to absent love from the cherub-voiced cellist. 2. Destroyer – Chinatown Sounds like Paddy McAloon from Prefab Sprout duetting with Belle & Sebastian-era Isobel Campbell. 3. Ultra Vivid Scene feat Kim Deal – Special One A huge favourite from my teenage years, this one had all but disappeared from my life, only re-discovering it on YouTube last summer. 4. Burt Bacharach – Something Big One of the most joyous songs I had the fortune of hearing last year, it's from a 1973 LP called ‘Living Together' which is not too shabby at all. I only wish the song would to on for longer. 5. Family Of Eve – Please Be Truthful 1979 debut single from Pittsburg outifit that first came to prominence VIA Keb Darge's first ‘Legendary Deep Funk' compilation on BBE. 6. Laura Lee – Don't Leave Me Starving For Your Love A rarely heard, but utterly beguiling, Holland-Dozier-Holland composition from Chicago-born Laura Lee. 7. Mystery Jets – The Tale From an American-only release, the ‘Flotsam & Jetsam' EP from 2007, this sounds like three songs rolled into one. 8. Da Luniz – I Got Five On It Bit of a worldwide hit this one in 1995, a quick Google reveals this nugget of information: “ ‘I got 5 on it' is a phrase meaning to pay half for a dime bag (a 10 dollar bag of weed) with another person.” 9. Aaliyah – More Than A Woman I occasionally go through stages of suddenly loving genres that I may not have cared for too much in the recent past. It happened with country last summer with R'n'b. 10. Oneohtrix Point Never – Child Soldier Daniel Lopatin's new LP ‘Replica' as O.P.N. reveals an artist totally letting loose in his new studio. 11. Virginia Astley – A Father Kind of reminds me of Julee Cruise (especially her ‘Twin Peaks' songs) . . from Virgina's 1986 LP ‘Hope In A Darkened Heart'. 12. Scritti Politti – Absolute From 1985's ‘Cupid & Psyche 85' LP, Gart Greenside sounds utterly at one with dreamy post new wave synth-pop. 13. Belbury Poly – The Willows Jim Jupp, who runs the Ghost Box label, has released many records under the Belbury Poly moniker. 14. Disco Inferno – Love Stepping Out Disco Inferno were formed in Essex in the late 80s and though they released a few LPs & EPs in the early to mid-90s, they remained completely off my radar until One Little Indian compiled ‘The Five EPs' (which features this beauty) last year. 15. Kitchens Of Distinction - Drive That Fast Every podcast needs an anthem that makes you want to roll down the car windows & crank up the volume. 16. Sascha Funke – Now You Know From the ‘Funkt EP,' released on Bpitch Control in 2002, this manages to sound like Ricardo Villalobos reworking The Postal Service, while still finding a cameo for Fritz Kalbrenner on vox. 17. Joy O – Sicko Cell Slowly crept up to become an unlikely anthem in the clubs last year, with strong support from Pearson Sound, Jackman, Loefah & Bok Bok. 18. Westbam & Nena – Oldschool, Baby (Piano Mix) “We are the moment, built to last”. Breathless sun-kissed, Italo-influenced classic from 2002, featuring none other than the voice of yer wan who sang '99 Luftballons'.
