In Episode #228 of the XS Noize Music Podcast, host Mark Millar is joined by English singer-songwriter Will Varley to discuss his upcoming seventh album, Machines Will Never Learn To Make Mistakes Like Me, out 30th May 2025. Recorded in a ramshackle Kent swamp studio with longtime collaborator Tom Farrer, the album introduces a bold new sound, pairing lush, cinematic production with Varley's trademark storytelling. Inspired by the East Kent Coast and US Midwest, the songs explore broken relationships, life on the road, and mental resilience against global uncertainty. Featuring guest appearances from Billy Bragg, Eleni Drake, and Dan Smith of Bastille, the album captures the tension between everyday life and the looming sense of apocalypse — while still searching for light and hope. In this conversation, Will talks about the making of the album, his evolving creative process, and why storytelling still matters in uncertain times. Highlights include: Writing and recording in Kent and the US Midwest, Collaborating with Billy Bragg, Eleni Drake & Dan Smith, Touring life, mental health, reinvention, and A new sonic chapter for Varley.

Peter Capaldi – aka Malcolm Tucker, Dr Who, the universal screen delight and an Oscar-winning film director – was the singer in the punk band the Dreamboys in the late ‘70s who put out a single when he was at the art school in Glasgow. And then became an actor. And then - in the grand tradition of actors who've made albums, Hugh Laurie, Scarlett Johansson, Jeff Bridges and Keanu Reeves among them – released St Christopher in 2021. He's just recorded a second, Sweet Illusions, and talks to us in this extremely funny and entertaining pod about … … how his sole motivation was “a burning desire to be on the telly”. … the difference between fronting bands and being in plays. … how he grievously stitched up support band the Cocteau Twins at a gig in Grangemouth. … a teenage love of Slade - “a bit terrifying but still a bit safe”. … first-hand evidence of the connection between Blakey from On the Buses, Adolph Hitler and Beatles. … “you have to write a hundred songs before you can write a good one”. … arriving at art school in '76 a Neil Young fan and his overnight transformation – “peroxide hair, PVC trousers and bright red crepe sole shoes”. … seeing Simple Minds at the Mars Bar in Glasgow, Jim Kerr with his Shakespearian haircut, “strange, powerful, imaginative, post-glam”. … forming the Dreamboys and “trying to be big, clever and Kafka-esque”. … the stigma of being virtually the only band in Glasgow not to get a John Peel session. … writing the “bizarro pulp” lyrics for the Dreamboys – “we couldn't decide if we were the Cramps or Talking Heads”. … what's required, “apart from a terrible Scouse accent”, in playing John Lennon onstage and George Harrison onscreen. … auditioning (comedian, actor, TV host) Craig Ferguson as the band's drummer. … how Bill Forsyth launched his acting career: “one minute you're supporting Altered Images, the next in a movie with Burt Lancaster”. … forming a duo with Keanu Reeves when filming Dangerous Liaisons in Paris – powdered wigs in the daytime, guitar/bass punk-thrash at night. .. the romantic Edward Hopper charm of Glasgow in the ‘70s - proto-goths, street lights, rain. … how Dr Robert of the Blow Monkeys and four months filming The Suicide Squad in Atlanta spurred him into writing songs. … the greatest record of all time.

Parmi les figures qui ont forgé la légende des années 80, la plus foisonnante des décennies de l'histoire de la musique populaire, la présence de David Bowie est inévitable, incontournable et pourtant la plus étonnante. Inattendue je devrais dire. En tout cas en 1983. Pourquoi ? Ben il faudrait qu'on y retourne, je vous emmène ?En ce printemps 83 où on en a plus que pour Michael Jackson, U2 et Simple Minds, bref une nouvelle aube sonore et musicale, David Bowie a tout de l'artiste des années 70 où il a brillé partout. Au point qu'il est le modèle de toute cette nouvelle génération nommée New Wave qui lui a tout piqué ou presque. Est-ce pour cela qu'il a disparu depuis trois ans ? Non. Ou en tout cas pas uniquement. C'est vrai que David a un problème avec tous ces clones de lui. Il a l'impression de se voir et de s'entendre partout. Mais bon, il y a aussi eu l'assassinat de son pote John Lennon à New York alors qu'il était lui-même sur scène à deux pas de là et qui a engendré une peur bleue de se montrer en public. Et puis enfin un gros problème de relation avec sa maison de disques qu'il a dû régler. Et malgré cette longue absence, qui pourrait imaginer que de tous les albums de David Bowie, ce fameux Let's dance est de tous, celui qui a été le moins préparé et le plus vite exécuté. David n'a écrit que cinq nouvelles chansons en trois ans quand il approche des portes du studio d'enregistrement. L'option de tout écrire en une nuit en absorbant des substances illicites appartenant au passé, il lui reste celle des fonds de tiroir, ce qu'il fait en reprenant une chanson qu'il a enregistrée quelques mois plus tôt avec Giorgio Moroder pour un film d'horreur esthétique mais de série B passé plus ou moins inaperçu en dehors des couloirs du BIFF à Bruxelles et des vidéoclubs. C'est ainsi qu'il ressort également un titre dont il a coécrit la musique avec son ami Iggy Pop pour le premier album solo qu'il a produit pour lui … en 1977, encore les 70's. Ah c'est qu'il s'amuse toujours avec Iggy qui est probablement son seul ami ; il l'avait d'ailleurs emmené dans ses valises quand il avait quitté Los Angeles au milieu de la décennie, pour Paris, puis Berlin. C'est là qu'ils avaient écrit cette chanson qui, au départ, n'a rien d'une bluette puisqu'elle fait référence à la coke et à l'héroïne. C'est d'ailleurs cela qui amuse beaucoup Nile Rodgers, le producteur de Let's Dance : faire de cette China Girl un titre pop à prendre au premier degré comme le prouvera le vidéoclip. Et il fait bien vu l'incroyable succès qu'elle va rencontrer en cette année 1983.Comme Nile le dira plus tard : il m'est souvent arrivé de savoir que la chanson que j'enregistrais allait faire un tube. Comme cette fois où on a fait écouter “Le Freak” à notre maison de disques. Ils n'y ont pas cru et pourtant c'est le single le plus vendu de leur histoire. C'était le cas aussi pour le “We are family” de Sister Sledge mais pas pour “China Girl”. Nile a ainsi poussé Bowie à sortir Let's dance en premier. Bowie n'y croyait pas, il avait tort. Lui, il voulait sortir China Girl en premier. Les deux ont eu raison et ont eu tort, mais heureusement pas au même moment. Résultat, deux tubes successifs et un Bowie au sommet, qui marque la décennie de son empreinte, imposant une nouveau look et regagnant en cette année 1983 tout l'argent qu'il avait perdu dans les années 70.

Late April and May is a special time in Australia, the UK and the USA where we commemorate our returned soldiers and remember those who fought so bravely to provide the freedom we deeply appreciate and enjoy today. Lest we forget. Inspiring us with loyalty, mateship and bravery, a little band of brothers from the Northern Beaches of Sydney channeled the courage of our war heroes to traverse the globe with no guarantees, promises or favours to become the biggest band on the planet between 1988-1990 with style, sacrifice and substance. In no way are we comparing the ultimate sacrifice of our war heroes to INXS however the DNA of true Aussie mateship, loyalty, commitment perseverance were traits INXS drew upon when many other bands before them disappeared after so much promise. So Bee and I count down individually our “Top 7 moments” when INXS bravely fought against the odds, self-doubt and industry challenges to usurp their contemporaries such as Dire Straits, U2, The Police, Simple Minds and Duran Duran to become the biggest band in the world. Typically our lists vary but the sentiment and unabashed pride in INXS' achievements evoke similarly. So sit back and take a moment to enjoy the characteristics and attributes that created INXS' success not just the outcomes. Love and peace https://www.inxsaccessallareas.com/ https://www.inductinxs.com/signthepetition

In this celebratory and multifaceted episode of Friends Talking Nerdy, Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd dive into an eclectic mix of topics that blend music nostalgia, behind-the-scenes celebrity moments, and the heated debates of wrestling culture.1. Revisiting 1985: The Ultimate Musical ThrowbackThe duo kicks off the episode by reminiscing about the golden year of 1985, as they each reveal their top five favorite songs from that era. The conversation is filled with personal anecdotes and insights as they dissect tracks that defined the decade. Their selections span a broad spectrum of styles—from the pop sensibilities of Phil Collins' "Sussudio" and Wham's "Careless Whisper", to the rock edge of Dire Straits' "Money For Nothing" and The Smiths' evocative "The Boy With The Thorn In His Side". They also shine a light on the artful, quirky stylings of Talking Heads with "And She Was", while nodding to collaborative anthems like Mick Jagger and David Bowie's "Dancing In The Streets". Other memorable tracks discussed include Cheap Trick's "Tonight It's You", Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' rebellious "Don't Come Around Here No More", Robert Palmer's slick "Addicted To Love", and the ever-enduring Simple Minds' "Don't You (Forget About Me)". Listeners get an intimate glimpse into why these songs resonate so powerfully with the hosts, reflecting both the cultural impact of 1985 and their own personal histories with the music. Check out their YouTube playlist with all these song choices.2. A Cameo Moment of HonorSwitching gears, Tim the Nerd recounts an exciting behind-the-scenes moment that highlights the podcast's growing influence. With creative savvy and a touch of fandom, Tim explains how he secured a heartfelt Cameo from Aubrey Edwards, the renowned referee from All Elite Wrestling. Celebrating the milestone of reaching 400 episodes, Aubrey Edwards shared some kind words about Friends Talking Nerdy. Tim dives into the process—using the Cameo platform—to connect with a wrestling personality who is not only a fan but also a respected figure in the industry. This segment offers a fun peek into the strategic networking and passion that fuels the podcast's community spirit.3. Wrestling, Ethics, and the Netflix Docuseries “Mr. McMahon”The episode then turns its focus to the world of professional wrestling with an in-depth discussion on the Netflix documentary “Mr. McMahon.” Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd dissect the film's portrayal of Vince McMahon's tumultuous career and the various controversies that have shadowed his legacy. The hosts debate the ethical dilemmas wrestling fans face as they reconcile their admiration for the spectacle with the problematic aspects of McMahon's history. Their discussion is both analytical and impassioned, weighing the documentary's revelations against the cultural mythos of wrestling. Listeners are invited to reflect on the complexities of fandom—how one can celebrate the art of wrestling while critically engaging with its darker undercurrents.As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song.

Also, the notion of maybe saying you ran a marathon is never good, if Crowder has ran a 5K and Dan Day's training. Crowder gives us a Pro Bowl Games update and who he interviewed today on The Pivot, also an Alabama coach paid Crowder's tab for his group. Hoch on Ambien last night almost bought concert tickets for Simple Minds in Chicago, and bet the Travis Kelce over. The Super Bowl viewing experience is not what it seems as a spectator at the game. Lee Sterling makes his picks for the Super Bowl, how many bets he has placed for the game, an NBA futures bet he has placed, and whether he has seen any concerts lately.

But we made the most of it with some killer concerts including taking a disappointed 9 year old to see Journey (He's not the leads singer of Journey!?!), taking Action Jackson to his first Steve Hackett show, laughing and singing along with Colin Hay and finally seeing Wolfgang Van Halen live. But the real story is around the amazing performers we welcomed in 2024, almost doubling the number we hosted in 2023 and tripling the number of Rock N Roll Hall of Famers. We welcomed Steve Hackett (Genesis) for the 2nd time as well as his fellow Hall of Famers Guy Fletcher (Dire Straits) and the legendary Steve Howe (Yes, Asia). We also spoke with members of or worked with bands we loved growing up like Simple Minds, Vixen and Eric Clapton. We also spoke with some new generation rockers like Kiran Roy (October Drift) and Scott Holiday (Rival Sons) as in order to keep rock alive, we need new bands to fly the flag.

We also spoke with members of or worked with bands we loved growing up like Simple Minds, Vixen and Eric Clapton. We also spoke with some new generation rockers like Kiran Roy (October Drift) and Scott Holiday (Rival Sons) as in order to keep rock alive, we need new bands to fly the flag.

This month's pod is the multi-faceted Scuba, who broke through 20 years go as part of London's burgeoning dubstep scene but has since wandered all over the place, genre-wise and geographically. We chat about dubstep, Guns 'N' Roses, what makes a good DJ and Simple Minds. It's a goodie, this one.
