On this episode of Vinyl Verdict, Bell, Jamie and Adam listen to Jamie's next pick, Gary Numan's "The Pleasure Principle". Released in 1979, it was his first solo album following two albums with the group Tubeway Army. The album covers a number of genres that were in popularity at the time, including synthpop, new wave, electropop and electronica. Taking its title from a surrealist painting of the same name, the album has a largely sci-fi theme to it. What will the boys think of the album? Will they find it too 'Complex' or will it strike up a 'Conversation'? Come along and find out!
In this latest interview special of Electric Friends, I speak to a legend in Gary Numan's music history: Rrussell Bell.In case you didn't know - Rrussell is a prolific musician, composer and comedy writer. After graduating in Physics at London University, he joined Tubeway Army in 1979 - first appearing on record on 1980's We Are Glass. He would then spend the next 10 years recording with Gary and touring the world in his band. He would then go on to form the band Dramatis alongside Chris Payne, Ced Sharpley and Denis Haines.Also a seasoned session player, he is also an award winning jingle writer, worked as a musical director for BSB, and has worked on many film and TV projects. This includes acting, stand-up comedy and script-writing for people such as Craig Charles and Keith Allen. He released his first EP Like a Human in 2019.Rrussell very kindly agreed to be on the show, and I hope you enjoy this special interview!Please get in touch on YouTube, X, Facebook, TikTok and Instagram, or email at numanpodcast@gmail.com.

En plena explosión del movimiento Punk en el Reino Unido y su filosofía del “Do it yourself” un grupo de chicos procedentes de distintas partes del país comenzaban a jugar con sintetizadores, influenciados por Kraftwerk, Bowie, Brian Eno y Donna Summer. Así es como surge el SynthPop gracias a gente como The Human League, O.M.D., Tubeway Army y varios más. Este género se hizo fuerte a comienzos de los 80s con la aparición de la “segunda generación”: Depeche Mode, Yazoo, New Order, Soft Cell, Visage y un largo etc. Durante toda la década continuó en activo y durante los últimos años de los 80s la gran invasión del House, el New Beat, el Acid House y el Techno ha sido una gran influencia para el género, tanto para artistas de la vieja escuela como para las nuevas generaciones. En este podcast podréis escuchar un breve resumen de las canciones de sintetizadores influenciadas por los nuevos sonidos que sonaron en las radios, en su gran mayoría escuchareis las versiones maxis originales. Comenzamos con When in Rome, trio británico con un solo hit “The Promise” publicado originalmente en 1987 pero fue al año siguiente cuando logra el éxito. Depeche Mode publica en 1987 “Strangelove” el primer single de su icónico álbum “Music for the masses”. Convirtiéndose en su sencillo más exitoso hasta aquel momento, logrando que muchos DJs y productores crearan sus propias remezclas no oficiales de la canción. Information Society, originales de Minneapolis con un comienzo entre el Avant-Garde y los sonidos electrónicos. Publicaron su primer álbum “oficial” en 1988, con un sonido más SynthPop, consiguiendo gran éxito en todo el mundo y del cual lanzaron 4 singles, entre ellos “Walking Away”. Al día de hoy siguen en activo. Erasure, duo británico formado por Vince Clark (Depeche Mode, Yazoo) y el vocalista Andy Bell en 1985. En abril de 1988 publican su icónico álbum (y para muchos el mejor hasta la fecha) “The Innocents”. Uno de sus sencillos “A Little Respect” se convirtió en un himno del SynthPop de la década. Book of Love, grupo americano de SynthPop formado en 1983 publicando su primera producción en 1986. En 1988 lanzan su segundo álbum del cual sale como single “Pretty Boys & Pretty Girls” logrando sonar en radios de todo el mundo. En 1993 el grupo se disuelve. Peter Schilling, cantante alemán famoso por la canción “Major Tom (Coming Home)” publicada en 1983. Pero no fue hasta 1989 que no repitió el éxito gracias a “The Different Story (World Of Lust And Crime)” colaboración con Michael Cretu, creador del grupo Enigma. El sencillo no fue un gran éxito en los US pero si en el resto del mundo. Cetu Javu, grupo alemán formado en 1984. Tenían la particularidad que varias canciones eran en castellano ya que su cantante (Javier Revilla-Díez) era hijo de españoles, aunque él ha nacido en Hannover. Debido a esto fue un grupo de gran popularidad en Latinoamérica y España, no así en el resto del mundo. Uno de sus mayores éxitos “Have in Mind” fue lanzado en 1988. Los también alemanes Camouflage lograron la notoriedad con su primer sencillo “The Great Commandment” publicado en 1987. Publicaron varios singles más de moderado éxito mundial pero nunca han podido repetir el suceso del primero. Hasta nuestros días sigue siendo muy evidente la gran influencia que ejerce Depeche Mode sobre ellos. Kon Kan, el proyecto del canadiense Barry Harris, publica el single “I Beg Your Pardon (I Never Promised You a Rose Garden)” en 1988. Debido al gran éxito obtenido la discográfica convence a Barry a lanzar un álbum integro, el cual sale al mercado un año después. Del mismo salen varios singles pero cada vez con menos repercusión. Publica un par de discos más y disuelve el proyecto para formar junto al DJ Carl Cox el dúo Thunderpuss para dedicarse a la remezcla de canciones de artistas como Madonna, Christina Aguilera, Whitney Houston, etc. Pet Shop Boys, duo de SynthPop influenciados por el Hi-NRG publican 2 discos de gran éxito y en 1988 lanzan el icónico “Introspective”. Disco concebido para las pistas de baile, 6 canciones en versiones extendidas con bases y sintetizadores propios de House. El segundo sencillo fue “Left to My Own Devices” publicado en noviembre de 1988. Hoy en día la mayoría de las canciones del álbum son parte fundamental en cualquier playlist del dúo. New Order, luego de varios discos deciden viajar a Ibiza para grabar lo que sería su siguiente producción “Technique”, muy influenciado por los sonidos que sonaban en la isla en aquel momento (House, Balearic, New Beat). El primer single fue “Round & Round” lanzado en marzo de 1989, a pesar de solo tener un éxito moderado, con los años se ha convertido en un clásico del género y del grupo. Real Life, originales de Australia este grupo de SynthPop solo lograron sonar en todas las radios del mundo con la canción “Send me an Angel”. Publicado originalmente en 1984 y luego en 1988 renombrándolo como “Send Me An Angel '89”. Espero disfrutéis del podcast.

A titan of electronic music goes acoustic after 40 years? How can this be?Once again we talk about the impact of Rainn Wilson and the Geography of Bliss, and going further into the new series of Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing, which this week stars Lee Mack, off the substitute's bench, and interesting to both of us. The Captain rushes through Oh Brother, the excellent biography from John Niven, and ElTele introduces us to new band Coppola.We finish up by discussing always funny but often absurd names for covers bands (do you have a favourite?), and a brief dip into sport.Show notes and links at https://www.onlyapodcast.com/episode-47-are-friends-acoustic/https://linktr.ee/onlyapodcast

"Young men need love special."In this episode, we look back at the quirky yet hugely popular fan favourite track, Jo the Waiter, from Tubeway Army's self-titled debut album in 1978.From the person who inspired the song to its various live versions, let's tackle the folk-style track ahead of Gary's acoustic tour later this year.Clips used:Tubeway Army - Jo the WaiterGary Numan - Jo the Waiter (live, 2004 - Shepherd's Bush)Gary Numan - Jo the Waiter (live, 2022 - Wembley Arena)Gary Numan - Jo the Waiter (live, 2019 - Aberdeen)The Orb - Jo the WaiterPlease get in touch on Twitter (@numanpodcast) or email at numanpodcast@gmail.com.

1979 revolutioniert die britische Band Tubeway Army die Charts. Ihre Single „Are 'Friends' Electric?“ ist der erste Synthiepop-Song, der es in Großbritannien auf Platz 1 schafft. Ob ihnen dieser Erfolg auch gelungen wäre, wenn alle verstanden hätten, worüber Frontmann Gary Numan da eigentlich singt?
Gary Numan's first full album was the self-titled Tubeway Army, released on Beggars Banquet in 1978, when he was just 19. Recorded with his bandmates Paul Gardiner and Jess Lidyard, the album saw the band transition from punk to a new style of music, helped by Gary's discovery of a Minimoog and his interest in sci-fi novels. Featured on this album was the largely-acoustic track 'Everyday I Die'. The short song had a rather naughty subject matter, but would go on to become a fan favourite for decades to come. This episode delves into the making and meaning of the song, the various different versions, and why it is so loved by Numan and Numanoids to this day. Clips used: 'Everyday I Die' (Beggars Banquet) 'Listen to the Sirens' (Beggars Banquet) 'Everyday I Die' (1980, Living Ornaments, Teletour) (Beggars Banquet) Dubstar - 'Everyday I Die' (Beggars Banquet) 'Everyday I Die' (2002 version) (Jagged Halo/Artful Records) 'Everyday I Die' (Andy Gray remix) (Jagged Halo) 'Everyday I Die' (2020 acoustic)

Playlist : Bon Jovi > You Give Love A Bad Name 1986 / Tubeway Army > Are Friends Electric? 1979… The post Le Musée des Oubliés-11-06-2022 first appeared on Radio Campus Angers.
In September of 1979 Gary Numan released his debut solo album. By the time Tubeway Army had released Replicas but before it hit #1 on the UK album charts, Numan had dropped the electric guitar all together, hired drummer Cedric Sharpley and keyboardist Chris Payne, and got started recording under his stage name. Released just six months after Replicas, it would prove to be his second #1 UK album in the same year. Let's talk Gary Numan, The Pleasure Principle!
Episode 20 of Season 5 aired on Rebel Rock Radio on Thursday 19 May at 19h00. It was great to be back behind the mic after two hectic weeks in Clarens and then Cape Town. The show kicked off with hair metal heavyweights Slaughter and a track called 'Shake This Place'. That was the general intention from the start. From there we checked out the two Mot's, Mötley Crüe and Mott the Hoople, with 'Angela' and 'One of the Boys' respectively.We went to Australia with The Screaming Jets and James Reyne and then to Germany with Accept and a delightful love song called 'Bucket Full of Hate'. The show had a great mix and even featured a track from prog heavyweights Dream Theatre. We had metal from Satan with 'My Own God', as well as more from Cancer Bats off their latest release Psychic Jailbreak. The South African stuff came from Jasper Dan, Prime Circle, and Durban's very own Roland Suttie with his latest Theo Crous release titled 'There Was a Boy'. By request, we slipped in The Uninvited and a track called 'Fixman' making a long overdue appearance. It's a track of great relevance today with the immortal line "When the bullies go to war". There was a bit of Gary Numan and Transvision Vamp and another track from Roger Kaye with Blue Scream titled 'Weak at the Knees. We also checked out 12th Avenue and gave a big shout-out to frontman Mark Haze who I saw in Tableview last weekend. the good news is that Mark is rocking and sounding better than ever. He has without a doubt one of the best voices in the world and it's wonderful to see a guy so talented. As we said at the gig, he plays guitar as easily as breathing. We finished off with the Admas Family, Ryan, and Big brother Bryan, lol, just a little joke.

Electric Friends' first episode delves into the song which started it all for Gary Numan, and the song that changed many of us fans forever: 'Are 'Friends' Electric?'. The episode looks back at the song's origins, lyrical meaning, chart performance, cover versions, samples and beyond. We also hear just how important the song has been for Gary's fans over the past 4+ decades, and hear extracts about the song from Gary's autobiography. Stories include: How stumbling upon a Moog changed everything How it was the first number one about robot sex Who was 'S.U'.?

这是一期从头抖脚抖到尾的节目。80 年代,一群追求新鲜活力的音乐人,继承了朋克的先锋、自由与反叛,大量使用合成器,将他们的音乐改造得更容易被大众接受,发展出一种更加朗朗上口、十分适合跳舞的音乐,影响了英国、美国甚至是全世界。这期节目,要分享的就是这一波「新浪潮 New Wave」。节目内我会尝试给新浪潮一个简单的定义,然后聊一聊新浪潮的历史脉络,并播放一些有代表性的乐队和歌曲,让你可以更加深入了解新浪潮音乐的样貌。希望你会喜欢 :)
Luego de la gran revolución que fue el movimiento Punk y el “hazlo tú mismo” cientos de jóvenes cogieron por primera vez una guitarra, un bajo, un micrófono o un sintetizador, y así surgieron varios movimientos como el Post-Punk, la New Wave y el SynthPop, entro varios más. El SynthPop nació a finales de los 70s y básicamente se remonta al desarrollo de los sintetizadores que cada vez eran más populares, portátiles y asequibles. Es una mezcla de Pop y música electrónica, con influencias del Klaust Rock, Glam Rock y la música Disco. Entro los primeros grupos en surgir podemos encontrar a The Human League (con una formación diferente en sus comienzos), Ultravox (quienes venían de la escena del Post-Punk y el Glam), Tubeway Army (en donde se encontraba Gary Numan), Japan (aunque son bastante difíciles de encasillar en un género) entre varios más. Kraftwerk publica dos álbumes fundamentales para el género, The Man Machine (‘78) y Computer World ('81). A principios de los 80s surgían Orchestral Manouvres in the Dark, Soft Cell, Visage, Gary Numan comienza su exitosa carrera solista, y varias bandas más combinando las melodías del Pop con sonidos electrónicos generados por sintetizadores, cajas de ritmo, baterías electrónicas y sequencers. La línea divisoria entre el New Wave, el SynthPop y el New Romantic es casi invisible y varias bandas las han cruzado en muchas ocasiones (Talk Talk, Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, Visage, A Flock of Seagulls, etc). El synthpop se masifica y comienzan a aparecer mas grupos, Eurythmics (anteriormente era un grupo New Wave llamado The Tourist), New Order (de las cenizas de Joy Division), Depeche Mode, Yazoo, Heaven 17 y un largo etc. Su reinado fue hasta mas o menos 1984-1985 cuando comienza su caída (casualmente en 1984 sale el primer disco de The Smiths), muchos grupos se separan, otros cambian de estilo, Depeche mode por ejemplo que endureció su sonido, experimentando y acercándose a los sonidos electrónicos que se producían en Alemania. Vince Clark luego de dejar Depeche Mode y Yazoo forma junto a Andy Bell Erasure en el año '85 con un sonido electrónico mucho más pop, los Pet Shop Boys surgen con su mezcla de synthPop, Hi-NRG y Pop, a-ha se consagra en todo el mundo con el single “Take on Me”. El resto de década se completa con la llegada del House, el cual es acogido por varios artistas de la escena electrónica británica, el resurgimiento del Rock en las listas de ventas y la factoría “Stock Aitken & Waterman” que publicaban singles como rosquillas. En medio de todo este panorama el synthpop se desaparece poco a poco del mercado. Pero ha dejado una gran influencia que al día de hoy seguimos escuchando en las radios. En esta primera parte podréis escuchar los principales éxitos del SynthPop muchos de los cuales son auténticos himnos del Pop, junto con un par de canciones publicadas a finales de los 70s pero que son fundamentales para comprender el Pop electrónico de los Ochentas.

Steve Albini (born July 22, 1961) is an American musician, record producer, audio engineer and music journalist. He was a member of Big Black, Rapeman and Flour, and is a member of Shellac. He is the founder, owner and principal engineer of Electrical Audio, a recording studio complex in Chicago. In 2018, Albini estimated that he had worked on several thousand albums over his career. He has worked with acts such as Nirvana, Pixies, the Breeders and PJ Harvey. Albini is also known for his outspoken views on the music industry, having stated repeatedly that it financially exploits artists and homogenizes their sound, as well as the flaws in the digital recording process and the superiority of analog technology. Albini's engineering skills have been celebrated for their sense of space, naturalistic tone, and the power of his guitar and drum sounds; his own guitar work is as imaginatively abrasive as his lyrics, which can be challenging and sometimes confrontational. Nearly alone among well-known producers and musicians, Albini refuses to take ongoing royalties from album sales, feeling that a producer's job is to record the music to the band's desires, and that paying producers as if they had contributed artistically to an album is unethical. In this episode, part one of a series of two, all songs selected by Steve Albini as guest for Australian TV show Rage, on June 29 2013. Lineup: The B-52's, Blondie, The Stranglers, Man Or Astro-Man, Chad Van Gaalen, Lou Reed, The Specials, The Cars, Siouxsie and the Banshees, D.

Deep Dives and Deep Cuts: the History of Punk, Post-punk and New Wave (1976-1986)
Is November 1978 the greatest month ever for punk and new wave releases? It's too soon to tell. But with debuts from Siouxsie and the Banshees, the Police, X-Ray Spex, the Tubeway Army, and Midnight Oil (not to mention iconic albums from the Clash, the Jam, Kate Bush and Pere Ubu), November '78 is a real contender for the title.

We're joined by Red Fang drummer, John Sherman, to celebrate the release of the band's long-awaited new record, Arrows. Crucial matters discussed include: waiting out the pandemic to finally release their new album; John's excitement at returning to touring after the forced break; how no music is a “guilty pleasure” (including soft rock); the band being personally invited to play a festival put on by Metallica; John's favorite drummers; and so much more.
This month we've left the 60's behind and leapt forward to 1979 where we've been watching Alien & The Muppet Movie at the cinema, eating the first McDonalds Happy Meals & listening to all of these songs on newly introduced Sony Walkmans (walkmen?) . We've also been talking about unexpected Bill Bailey, the worlds first gothic spelling bee, & Kate Pierson's spectacular marine animal impressions.We've each chosen our 10 favourite songs of the year and sent them over to Ian's wife Lydia, who put the playlists together and distributed them so we were each given a playlist of the 20 songs from the other two hosts, along with our own 10. We then ranked the playlists in order of preference and sent them to Colin's wife Helen, who totalled up the points and worked out the order. Helen also joined us on the episode to read out the countdown, which we found out as we recorded so all reactions are genuine.Now, admittedly, in parts we're a little bit brutal to some of the songs in the list as we're three separate people with differing music tastes, but please remember that to be in this episode at all the songs have to have been in one of our top 10's of that year. Bands featured in this episode include (In alphabetical order, no spoilers here!) - AC/DC, The B-52's, The Clash, The Cure, Gang Of Four, The Hollies, Joy Division, Motorhead, Gary Numan, Pink Floyd, Iggy Pop, Prince, The Raincoats, The Ruts, The Shadows, Sham 69, Sheila & B.

English musician, singer, songwriter an producer Gary Numan has seen just about anything in his illustrious career that spans over 45 years. First as a member of new wave band Tubeway Army, then as a solo artist where he scored massive hits with songs like 'Cars' and 'Are 'Friends' Electric', in the early 80s. He also saw some lows as not every album reached its commercial expectations, but with his previous album Savage (Songs from a Broken World) that reached the no. 2 spot in the charts, it's fair to say he is back on top. His latest album is Intruder, and we spoke with Gary about the new album, the brutal nature of the music business, writing about climate change, his creative daughters, science vs religion, and a lot more!

Steve Cooper talks with musician Gary Numan. Gary is most widely known for his chart-topping 1979 hits Are ‘Friends’ Electric? (when in Tubeway Army) and Cars. He achieved his peak of mainstream popularity in the late 70s and early 80s but maintains a loyal cult following. His signature sound consists of heavy synthesizer hooks fed through guitar effects pedals, is considered a pioneer of commercial electronic music. He has sold over 10 million records in his career and just released his 21st studio album Intruder.
Ffffffresh from 40+ years ago, we get into the Tubeway Army's second album, "Replicas". Synth-pop pioneers with a secret weapon. I can't keep a secret. This is Gary Numan's old band! Yes. THE Gary Numan. Philip K. Dick meets the guy that brought you "Cars". Think about it.
Number 20! This week Tubeway Army and Gary Numan! We will get into the android synth sounds of the stone cold classic hits from Nueman's first band Tubeway Army and then onto the full synth realness of "Gary Numan" himself.

This week we again disccuss SynthPop/Electronic artistes and find out which one's. if any, are a hit with daughter Rebekah.
Gary Numan is a fascinating and surprisingly affable guy – he's a singer, a songwriter, a composer and producer, and one of the great electronic pop pioneers. Tubeway Army started as a punk band and, under his Gary Numan persona, quickly metamorphosed into the most popular electronic futurist band of the early 80's. He is creatively driven, a true artist who clearly doesn't flinch from controversy, and he has a unique vision which explains his enormous and loyal fanbase. He has sold over 10 million records, and that is no joke. He also loves aircraft and aviation – wait for the story at the end of the podcast – jaw dropping… Ladies and gentlemen – It's cold outside…it's Gary Numan!

Tubeway Army - That's Too Bad (1978) All tracks on the original vinyl single were credited to 'Valerian', the name that Numan (born Gary Webb) had chosen for himself prior to Tubeway Army's début album; these would be his last releases using that nom de plume; henceforward he would call himself Gary Numan. Tubeway Army - Oh! Didn't I Say (1978) Tubeway Army - My Shadow In Vain (1978) Gary Numan - Metal (1979) Parliament - I Call My Baby Pussycat (1970) Which came first? The Jaggerz - I Call My Baby Candy (1970) Which came first? The Jaggerz - I'll Be Okay In The Morning (1975) The Jaggerz - (That's Why) Baby I Love You (1969) The Jaggerz - With A Little Help From My Friends (1970) More Cocker than Ringo. In fact, an almost identical copy. Wolfman Jack (w/The Jaggerz) - The Rapper (1973) Bee Gees - Dear Mr. Kissinger (1973) Riley Wildflower - Electric California (196?) 'The Smog Song'/'Electric California' (Beacon Records BCN-1) 196? Previously in The Gentle Soul. This was probably late 1968 or 1969. It appears that Riley Wyldflower's real name is Riley Cummings. He hooked up with Peter Tork and played with Tork's group in 1968-69. Striking out on his own, he formed a group called 'Peter Tork And/Or Release' with girlfriend Reine Stewart on drums (she had played drums on part of 33⅓ Revolutions Per Monkee), Riley "Wildflower" Cummings on bass and - sometimes - singer/keyboard player Judy Mayhan. Tork said in April 1969, "We sometimes have four. We're thinking of having a rotating fourth. Right now, the fourth is that girl I'm promoting named Judy Mayhan." "We're like Peter's back-up band", added Stewart, "except we happen to be a group instead of a back-up band." Release hoped to have a record out immediately, and Tork has said that they did record some demos, which he may still have stored away somewhere. According to Stewart the band were supposed to go to Muscle Shoals as the backing band for Mayhan's Atlantic Records solo album Moments (1970) but they were ultimately replaced. They mainly played parties for their "in" friends and one of their songs was considered for the soundtrack to Easy Rider, but the producers - who had also produced Head - eventually decided not to include it. Release could not secure a record contract, and by 1970 Tork was once again a solo artist."

Tangent Tally – 2 This week Dr. Mike and I discuss the first album by Tubeway Army, the self titled “Tubeway Army”. This features Gary Numan of course. The sound is a tad more punk-ish than typical Numan fare – not that there really is typical Numan fare given his diverse (and awesome) body of work. Very much worth a listen. As promised, here is the original album artwork… In this episode, you will also learn of Kelly’s appreciation for the grunt in music. While mildly mocked by Mike, perhaps this will open his … Continue reading →

You Are In My Vision by Gary Numan and Tubeway Army and She Belongs To Me by Bob Dylan
This year marks Lorraine Kelly's 35th year as a broadcaster and her 60th birthday. Born in the Gorbals to teenage parents, Lorraine took a job at her local newspaper instead of a place at university and, despite being sacked while on maternity leave, is now one of Britain’s best known television presenters. Her new book Shine shares her secrets for success. Amy Powney, creative director of sustainable fashion label Mother of Pearl, spent much of her childhood without mains electricity or running water when her parents sold their house to live off-grid in rural Lancashire. Despite being taken to school in a handmade trailer and having requests for tracksuits denied, Amy found that her parents approach to ethical living had influenced her when she began a career in fashion. Professor Adam M Hill MB PhD is a dual-qualified Clinician and Mechanical Engineer with a military background and a career built at the interface of industry, academia and health systems. Adam is the Chief Executive Officer at immuno-diagnostics company Oncimmune, a company who are trailing new ways to detect cancer, but he has previously worked for the McClaren F1 team and has served in the Household Cavalry.

I'm thrilled to once again participate in what's become a fun annual tradition, the #BestEventEver blog/podcast team-up! For the past 3 years, a loose confederation of comics bloggers & podcasters has gotten together to jam on one of DC Comics' annual x-over events - and this year, we've decided to dig deep into 1995's Underworld Unleashed!The villains of the DCU got a chance to shine during this event, and some pretty interesting match-ups came about between the villains & some unfamiliar opponents throughout the DC line. Case in point, on of the 2 stories I'll be recapping & commenting on: retired Golden Age hero, Ted Knight (formerly Starman) takes on infrequent Batman foe, Dr. Phosphorus in Starman #13. And in one of the stories in the 12th issue of the anthology, Showcase '95, Starman-cast member, The Shade, is confronted by the primary antagonist of Underworld Unleashed, Neron!If you're interested in taking the plunge with us, I encourage you to:Download this episode HERE!And please be sure to check out further Underworld Unleashed coverage at these fine sites:Relatively Geeky Podcast Network Resurrections: An Adam Warlock/Thanos Podcast The RetroistChrisIsOnInfiniteEarthsCosmic TreadmillThe Pop Culture PalaceRolled Spine's Diana Prince: Wonder Woman PodcastThe Idol-Head of DiaboluJustice's First DawnComic Reviews by WaltJustice Trek: The Podcast Scroll down to see a few images from these issues below, and check out previous episodes of I'm the Gun on iTunes & Google Play!

Good to finally carve out an evening to record another podcast. I swear, these days I blink and three or four months go by. I suppose, relatively speaking, the same could be said for this episode as it is officially the shortest podcast in CRC history, clocking in at just under one hour. "So, Mr. DJ Tintin," I'm sure you're saying to yourself, "for all my patience waiting for you to give me some new tunes you reward me with LESS music???" It seems that way. You still get the requisite 15 songs, but many of these were single or album versions as opposed to remixes. That's the only defense I have. BUT, look at this artist and track list! Those of you looking for some stuff you haven't heard before may have just hit the mother lode. The Stranglers? Our Daughter's Wedding? Not exactly household names. "Fun City", "Heartbeat City", "Still Angry"? Not exactly the songs anyone would recall off the top of their heads by Soft Cell, The Cars or Book Of Love, respectively. But enough justification. On to the bands ... So, why were the 80s so great? A loaded question to be sure. But ask yourself how many bands in recent memory could have a member, who owned a hair salon, rent out a space above said hair salon, form a band, get discovered by Bill Nelson of Be Bop Deluxe fame, decide upon wearing women's clothes for a video shot in three days on a shoestring budget and become superstars thanks in some part to a fledgling music network called MTV and a now-famous hairstyle? Such was the fate of A Flock of Seagulls, a band that certainly helped alter my musical trajectory and, with the song I Ran (So Far Away), created one of the most iconic and lasting songs of the decade. THAT is the greatness of the 80s - the fact that music was not yet paint-by-number. There was room for experimentation. Sure, you had to be marketable, but the definition of marketable was fluid. And the rules were fluid. As long as someone in the know heard something they liked or saw a creative spark it was sometimes enough for a label to take a chance on you. Spoken like someone who thinks the music they grew up with is the best, I know. But I ask again: could that backstory exist today? Perhaps, but I just don't see it. As for the song in this podcast, "Telecommunication", it is sort of a cult hit at this point and probably an accidental one at that. "(It's Not Me) Talking" was the first single release by AFOS in 1981, but it was the futuristic lyrics and "wall of sound" energy, later praised by uber-producer Phil Spector, that propelled "Telecommunication" into the clubs and into hearts of new wavers. The tune still sounds cool and futuristic even today and reminds me of a moment in time when musical possibilities were still limitless. "No sequencers were used" reads the liner notes of Our Daughters Wedding's first EP, "Digital Cowboy". Layne Rico (electronic percussion / synth), Keith Silva (vocals / synth) and Scott Simon (synth / saxophone) wanted everyone to know that their electronic wizardry and sleight of hand was due entirely to coordination and skill and not programming and triggers like many of their contemporaries such as Depeche Mode and OMD, two groups to which ODW was often compared after their switch over from punk rock and guitars to new wave and synths. And while the group, who sang about lawnchairs and made frequent appearances on MTV with Martha Quinn in the early days of the network, somewhat ironically dismissed DM and OMD as being too "gimmicky", the group did score opening slots for some of the giants of the day including Duran Duran, Talk Talk, Iggy Pop, The Psychedelic Furs and U2. They even worked with famed producer Colin Thurston to record the aforementioned EP. Not bad for a US-based band who suffered the slings and arrows and broken beer bottles of misfortune hurled at them for using electronics on stage at a time when punk was still king. But even skill and deigning to employ sequencers could not save the group from a dust up with their label, EMI. According to Scott Simon, the LA office killed the momentum of their full-length album, Moving Windows, which was released in 1982, because a label exec had a personal issue with one of the band's representatives. The track here, Auto Music, is a Razormaid! mix of the lead track to that first and only full-length. The sweet electronic bass line you hear came about from Simon and David Spradley, the producer for Moving Windows, "jamming one morning in our Union Square loft." To cut a long story short, Spandau Ballet are good. Go buy their records. Seriously, though, Spandau Ballet seems like a perfect name for a slick and sophisticated band who helped spearhead the New Romantic movement, an era of glossy images and high fashion that gave rise to groups like Duran Duran and Visage and others. That is until you remember that, like other groups, SB had their roots in the punk scene and that their name was Allied trench warfare slang for corpses whose bullet-riddled bodies twisted and danced on barbed wire as they were hit by German gunfire. Perhaps they would have been better off going with The Cut or The Makers, both previous band names. But, the name Spandau Ballet stuck as did the amazing voice of Tony Hadley, the Kemp brother's guitar prowess (Martin and Gary), Steve Norman's saxophone riffs and John Keeble's percussive underpinnings. That classic lineup produced a string of Top 10 hits (10 to be precise) including "Gold", "Only When You Leave", "True", "Chant No. 1" and the song in this podcast, "To Cut A Long Story Short", the groups' debut single, which reached #5 in the UK. Speculation surrounding the song is that it pertains to a veteran suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder after being drafted, but getting no explanation why he must join the war. This song apparently inspired Vince Clarke (Depeche Mode, Yaz, The Assembly) to write DM's third single, "Just Can't Get Enough" which, as a side note, is currently being used in a Wal-Mart advertisement. I did NOT see that coming! What more can be said about Gary Numan that hasn't already been said over the course of four decades by the music press? Probably nothing, so I'm not even going to try to break new ground. But, in case you missed it, Gary did just drop his 18th solo album, Savage (Songs From A Broken World), this past September and it instantly shot all the way up the album charts to #2 in the UK and #1 on the UK Indie charts. Call it a love of the man and his music or an indictment of the current music scene, but for a guy who goes down in history as the first artist to secure a #1 song using an all-electronic approach with the highly-coveted and frequently-covered "Are Friends Electric?" way back in 1979, the fact that Gary is still making music that questions, challenges, lifts, destroys and defies convention is impressive. Despite the lofty charting position of the new album and its predominant use of electronics, it failed to register on the Billboard Electronic charts because, according to a Billboard executive, “Sonically, the Numan album just does not fit in" with Billboard's perception of electronic dance music. Seems a bit ridiculous, but Numan is no stranger to such disinterest or indifference on the part of the music cabal. In fact, even during his heyday, "Are Friends Electric?" was perched atop the British charts for three weeks before any radio station would add it to their playlists. The song in this podcast, "I Die: You Die", which appeared in 1980 on the Telekon album a mere two years after his Tubeway Army signing with Beggars Banquet, is his rebuke of the music press and their God complex, star-maker/star-breaker tendencies. The track eventually reached #6 on the UK singles chart. And finally, speaking of the music press, the last band I'd like to mention here had them completely baffled and befuddled for the bulk of their career, or at least until 1990 when Hugh Cornwall left the group. The Stranglers, originally known as the Guildford Stranglers when they embarked as a band in 1974, were comprised of guitarist/keyboardist Hugh Cornwall, bassist/vocalist Jen-Jacques Burnel, keyboardist Dave Greenfield and drummer Brian Duffy (aka Jet Black). Though not one member hailed from Guildford, they were "tweeners" in every sense of the word, dabbling in numerous styles from electropop to soul during the course of their long and storied career. And while many of their successes came during their early punk days, they never quite fit into the punk scene. Ostracized for their relative age, their humorous, often self-deprecating lyrical style contrasted with their often anti-politically correct stage antics, their stunningly fast musical growth and development, and their hit-making skill, which generated 21 Top-40 singles, The Stranglers set themselves apart from their punk contemporaries and gave the press fits as they did not know how to put square pegs into round holes. The track here, "All Roads Lead To Rome" was from their seventh album, Feline. As you can hear, it has distinct new wave overtones, which makes total sense having been released in 1982, but it is certainly a brave departure from their earlier work. And while this track did not chart, it still stands as one of the high points from the Feline album and provides a glimpse into a chameleon-like band that was firmly in transition. Another episode in the books. Thanks for reading/listening. Enjoy the music!
