Museums. Academics. These aren't words you'd usually associate with punk rock. That all changes now though, because this week we're joined by Dr Emma Parker, from the team behind Punk: Rage and Revolution. It's an exhibition celebrating the inception of Punk and how the city of Leicester welcomed (or not) the new subculture. This weekend (18th, 19th and 20th August) sees the exhibition's grand finale with a weekend of gigs, Q&A's with punk icons including (Viv Albertine) and much more. Niallism is in hospital so Mark L Williamson joins Tom for this episode. We have perhaps bitten off more than we can chew with a new challenge we've set ourselves and we wish Niallism well. Music this time comes from: NOFX, Spoilers, Diesel Boy, The Slits, X-Ray Spex, Stiff little Fingers, Buzzcocks, The Clash and Oh, .

The Blues Brothers Original Soundtrack is a powerhouse collection of rhythm and blues that captures the essence of the iconic film.  It features a blend of classic blues, soul, and rock 'n' roll performed by legendary artists including Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, James Brown, and Cab Calloway.  The Blues Brothers originated as a musical comedy act created by Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi on the sketch comedy show “Saturday Night Live” in the late 1970's.  Inspired by their shared love for blues and R&B music, Aykroyd and Belushi created fictional characters, Jake and Elwood Blues, as their alter egos.  The act gained popularity, leading to the release of their self-titled debut album in 1978 and eventually to the creation of the Blues Brothers motion picture in 1980.  In the film, parolee Jake Blues is joined by his blood brother Elwood Blues on a “mission from God” to save the Catholic orphanage in which they were raised by reuniting their band and raising the $5000.00 for the property tax bill.  Their quest brings them to a number of characters played by iconic artists including Cab Calloway and James Brown.  The resulting soundtrack stands as a testament to the enduring power of blues music and left an indelible mark on both the film and music industry.John Lynch dons his suit and dark sunglasses to bring us this feature. Minnie the MoocherCab Calloway originally presented Minnie the Moocher back in 1931, and reprises the song for this film.  Calloway was a regular performer at the Cotton Club in Harlem, and a popular vocalist of the swing era.  Calloway plays Curtis in the film, a father figure and mentor to the Blues Brothers, and performs this song as a warm-up to the concert.Jailhouse RockAs the movie ends with Jake and Elwood back in prison after successfully paying off the tax bill for the orphanage.  The band plays Elvis Presley's "Jailhouse Rock" for the inmates as the credits roll.  Jake Blues (Belushi) takes lead on this upbeat number.ThinkAretha Franklin covers her own song as Mrs. Murphy, trying to persuade her husband Matt Murphy to not join the band.  Franklin had a lot of difficulty lip synching the song and would have preferred to just sing it live.  The Blues Brothers join her on this cover.Gimme Some Lovin'The Blues Brothers cover this piece originally performed by the Spencer Davis Group and made famous by Steve Winwood.  While the song was a top 20 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, in the film it gets a decidedly cooler reception in the honky tonk bar in which it is performed.  ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Lookin' for Love by Johnny Lee (from the motion picture “Urban Cowboy”)With the decline of disco, crossover country & western hits became popular.  John Travolta starred in this movie which capitalized on the popularity of country music. STAFF PICKS:Train in Vain (Stand By Me) by the ClashBruce brings us the third single from the Clash's third album, “London Calling.”  This was a double album, and a post-punk turn by the group.  The song was originally intended to be a giveaway flexi single, but was put on the album at the last minute when that deal fell through.  Mick Jones wrote and sings lead on this song, inspired by his tumultuous relationship with Stiltz guitarist Viv Albertine.Free Me Big by Roger DaltreyWayne features the front man for the Who in a solo effort written by Argent guitarist Russ Ballard.  The song is on Daltrey's 1980 solo album “McVicar” It also appears on the soundtrack for the movie "McVicar" in which Daltrey plays John McVicar, an inmate in prison for a number of bank robberies.  The other members of the Who play on this song as uncredited musicians.We Live for Love by Pat BenatarRob's staff pick is performed by Benatar, but it is often confused for a Blondie song.  It is a single from Benatar's debut album, “In the Heat of the Night,” and was written by Neil Giraldo, Benatar's then-guitarist and now-husband (and still guitarist).  It was the leading track from side two.Ride Like the Wind by Christopher CrossLynch's staff pick went to number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, held out of the number 1 slot by Blondie's “Call Me.”  It is Cross's debut single from his Grammy winning 1979 self-titled album.  Cross dedicated the song to Lowell George, formerly of the band Little Feat, who had died in 1979.  Michael McDonald is easy to identify on backing vocals.   NOVELTY TRACK:Turning Japanese by the VaporsSongwriter and Vapors lead singer David Fenton says this is all the cliches about angst and youth and turning into something you didn't expect to.  This new wave song went to number 36 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Emotional Babies!Budgie and Lol love Miki's Memoir! Honest and Authentic - which it's hard to Be. Miki and Lol shared the same streets of London but never met.We walked everywhere - no phones - no way to contact Like a homing pigeon Budgie always found his way home Miki followed the tube stations - Roaming with Emma but no walkie-talkie in 5 years! Complex Band relationships suffer from outside pressure and from people with chisels. Lol empathises 100 % Miki's experience with Emma - as his with Robert.  Will we all ever speak again? Is Morrissey bitter? Many memoirs end with courtroom drama. Malcom was a rotter says Lydon. Morrissey needs an editor says Lol! That's a complement says Miki – it's a proper Mills & Boon.  Miki haunted by Mike Hedges' old house in France. Lol recalls a depressing Disintegration. But Pool table respite with Simon and the funny cue ball.  Lol loved Miraval. The Slits loved being looked after at Ridge Farm Studios. Budgie met Viv again at a Berlin book festival - they had cake and tea and grown-up conversations. Miki is happy she had the band but happier in her new job - she's had the best of both worlds. Lol wanted to be present for his son and so no touring thru' his teens. We love writing as much as making music - Lol ran away at the destruction of the band. He came to America and America saved him.____‘God Bless America' – Irving Berlin.

Keith Levene sadly passed away in his home in Norfolk on 11 November 2022, aged 65. He had been battling liver cancer. He was a hugely influential figure on the early London punk explosion. What set him apart from many of his peers, was in a scene based around a DIY- play three chord ethos, Keith really could play. A gifted guitarist, he liked to experiment and push the envelope. In the summer of 1976, he was a founding member of The Clash. However, shortly after recruiting Joe Strummer, Keith left the band. After the Sex Pistols imploded in 1978, John Lydon asked Keith to join him and Jah Wobble to former Public Image Limited. Keith was in PiL for five years, in which time the band released what is widely regarded as some of the most influential material of the time. Including, Metal Box which is considered by many to be a post punk classic. When I heard of Keith's death, I had a dig into my audio archives and found an in-depth interview with him recorded in 2013. At the time Keith was living in the United States. The recording was broadcast on Fuzzbox my late-night punk & ska show on the sadly missed Pure 107.8FM in Stockport. It's basically the same format as a Fuzzcast episode, a punk rock life story. Keith has a lot to talk about - His fall out with John Lydon, how he persuaded Joe Strummer to join the Clash, Sid Vicious, Bernie Rhodes, Jah Wobble, teaching Viv Albertine to play guitar. It's all here. So hopefully you will enjoy.

Pocas mujeres tuvieron tanta presencia en la escena músical del punk como Viv Albertine, pero ¿sabes cómo fue que inició su trayectoria musical? No te imaginas qué músico le regaló su primera guitarra y a partir de ese momento todo cambió...

Everyone's frothing on the social satire White Lotus and frankly we don't want it to end. Myf and Zan share some good news for fellow fans, and an insight into the music that makes the show. Meanwhile Dolly is telling more stories with the news of her debut novel; we're ready to tear into it. A new film based on the story of Amanda Knox's conviction and acquittal is about to come out, and the woman herself has thoughts on who gets to tell her story. And the five yearly Census has arrived, with some interesting questions and strange omissions. All hail Beyoncé, who has filled the fashun coiffeurs with some wild looks and denim chaps.

We're on our summer break, which gives us a chance to re-run this brilliant conversation we had with punk superstar Viv Albertine when she dropped by the studio a few years ago to talk about her memoir, To Throw Away Unopened. Nothing grants insight into lived experience quite like a memoir, but the form can accommodate so much more than that, and Viv's book takes in many things alongside its descriptions of her experiences growing up as a working-class kid in London, and her complicated relationship with her extraordinary mother. So, tune in for a show celebrating memoirs that take us from the experience of giving birth to coming out to what it's like to be in a world-famous band, via all the richness and thorny issues that this form promises, and we'll be back with a new episode in September.

This month, as spring begins to spring, we're thinking about vulnerability, about the perils and pleasures of opening up. Joining us is author and academic Katherine Angel, whose latest book Tomorrow Sex Will Be Good Again is a nuanced and thought-provoking examination of women’s desire in the age of consent, exploring the shortcomings of our current discussions around things like sex, power and violence. Our theme is inspired by Katherine’s book, and her discussion of the necessity of vulnerability in sex, so listen in for our thoughts about some of the books that explore vulnerability and the complicated terrain of consent, as well as the vulnerability of writing itself. Come let your guard down with us for the next hour of Literary Friction. Recommendations on the theme, Vulnerability: Octavia: To Throw Away Unopened by Viv Albertine https://www.faber.co.uk/9780571326211-to-throw-away-unopened.html Carrie: The Lesser Bohemians by Eimear McBride https://www.faber.co.uk/9780571327850-the-lesser-bohemians.html General recommendations: Octavia: Simple Passion by Annie Ernaux, translated by Tanya Leslie https://fitzcarraldoeditions.com/books/simple-passion Katherine: Gay Bar: Why We Went Out by Jeremy Atherton Lin https://granta.com/products/gay-bar/ Carrie: Things I Don’t Want to Know by Deborah Levy https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/253/253221/things-i-don-t-want-to-know/9780241983089.html You can support us on Patreon: http://patreon.com/litfriction Email us: litfriction@gmail.com Tweet us & find us on Instagram: @litfriction This episode is sponsored by Picador https://www.panmacmillan.com/picador

In this episode we welcome The Guardian's John Harris into RBP's virtual cupboard to reminisce about his career as a music journalist and author. Mark, Barney & Jasper look back with John at Britpop and at The Last Party, his definitive 2003 book about it; we also consider the crucial role in the Britpop story of Select magazine, which John edited between 1995 and 1997. Discussion of Britpop's more jingoistic aspects is accompanied by references to contemporary pieces on Blur, Oasis & co. by Jon Savage and Stuart Maconie — and followed by John's thoughts on morphing into one of the Grauniad's most respected political columnists. The week's theme leads neatly into clips from a 1980 audio interview with Britpop forefather Paul McCartney, heard talking to John Tobler about his McCartney II album. Seasoned Beatles freak Harris talks about Macca's solo oeuvre and McCartney II's just-released successor… McCartney III! The "team" and their guest then turn their attention to the passing of the remarkable Charley Pride, the Black southerner who — against considerable odds — became a country music superstar.Mark talks us through some notable new additions to the RBP library, including pieces about the Manson family, the Bee Gees, Kirsty MacColl, the Beastie Boys and Metallica. Barney welcomes California writer Deanne Stillman to the RBP fold with her 2004 piece on the trial of Phil Spector, while Jasper rounds matters off with reflections on Shakira and RBP's Paul Kelly's favourite band Coldplay.Pieces discussed: Britpop, Britpoper, Britpopest, Paul McCartney audio, Patti Smith, Ramones, Dis-Education of Rock 'n' Roll, Charley Pride, Charley Prider, Charley Pridest, Charles Manson, Ashford & Simpson, Kirsty MacColl, Soft Cell, Beastie Boys, John Lennon, Barry Gibb & the Bee Gees, Kevin Coyne, Human League, Jason & Kylie, Metallica, Phil Spector, Viv Albertine, Shakira and Coldplay.This show is a part of Pantheon Podcasts.

Kläder och estetik har alltid vara en viktig del av artisters uttryck. En visuellt slående stil kan göra minst lika starkt intryck som en fantastisk låt och för evigt etsa sig fast på våra näthinnor. I veckans specialprogram ska vi få höra historier om musiker och deras garderober, men också om några av de personer som arbetar bakom artisterna, genom att klä dem och skapa spektakulära scenframträdanden. Vi pratar med Mariam Wallentin från duon Wildbirds & Peacedrums, samt soloprojektet Mariam the Believer; stylisten Marimerce Santiago, som arbetat med världsstjärnor som Ricky Martin, Jennifer Lopez och Mick Jagger; koreografen och creative directorn Sacha Jean-Baptiste, som fått stor uppmärksamhet för sina välproducerade scenshower i Eurovision Song Contest; och Viv Albertine från det ikoniska postpunkbandet The Slits.

Viv Albertine - guitarist for British post-punk band The Slits, and author of two extraordinary memoirs Clothes Clothes Clothes Boys Boys Boys Music Music Music and To Throw Away Unopened - talks about a lifetime of challenging authority. Recorded June 2018.

In the sixth episode of Barely Human, we look back at punk and hardcore through the lens of two artists who have been footnoted by mainstream histories. First we look at the London punk explosion through the eyes of Poly Styrene and her band X-Ray Spex, who went from selling kitsch anti-fashion accessories on Kings Road in 1976, to playing punk on Top of the Pops two years later. Then we turn to '90s hardcore heroes Los Crudos, a band who had the mission of putting culture into their sub-culture, by playing punk music in their local community halls, and singing entirely in Spanish. Barely Human is written and hosted by Max Easton, and produced by Jason L'Ecuyer and Output Media.

Musician and author, Viv Albertine, sits down with John in Soho for an intimate chat about her second book, To Throw Away Unopened. She explores her family's turbulent history and dynamic, and discusses what it was in the 70s that made her pick up a guitar and found iconic punk band, The Slits. Was it her friendship with the likes of Sid Vicious and Mick Jones? No. It was her mother. A force which drove her to ferociously question the world around her. Swears.

We were joined by Viv Albertine to discuss of her second volume of memoirs, the brilliant and moving To Throw Away Unopened.

Viv Albertine is unique in several ways. As one of the founding members of The Slits, she ruptured rock music's linear progression, effecting a genuine and shocking break with what had come before. The Slits combined dub-reggae, free jazz, early hip-hop, funk and punk into a unique new sound. Viv Albertine has recently delivered a shocking and brilliantly-written autobiography called Clothes, Clothes, Clothes. Music, Music, Music. Boys, Boys, Boys. John sat down with her to talk about all of this and more. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week on How To Fail, we’re joined by the brilliant writer Olivia Laing. Her three critically-acclaimed works of non-fiction, To The River, The Trip to Echo Spring and The Lonely City, have explored themes of alcoholism, loneliness and suicide (and yet somehow manage to be deeply uplifting to read). Her recent debut novel, Crudo, has everyone from Jilly Cooper to Viv Albertine in veritable ecstasies.  Olivia talks to us about losing her way in her 20s, how the torture of romantic break-ups has ultimately led to some of her greatest creative work and about what it’s like to be made redundant from a job you love. Along the way, we discuss gender fluidity, whether women are conditioned to self-deprecate, getting married at 40, why being raised by lesbians made Olivia less susceptible to patriarchal assumptions about What Men Want. We also debate whether Brighton has more dogs on strings than the average British city (spoiler alert: Elizabeth thinks that yes, it definitely does).     How To Fail is hosted by Elizabeth Day and produced by Chris Sharp    How To Fail is sponsored by Moorish   Crudo by Olivia Laing is out now, published by Picador     Social Media:   Elizabeth Day @elizabday Olivia Laing @olivialanguage Moorish @moorishhumous Picador @picadorbooks

We might be a little delayed - much like a Ryanair flight - but we got there in the end. Yup, that's a pun; we're talking about Plane Bae. Unfolding like a modern meet-cute, the tweet story of a ‘romance' observed by another passenger over the course of over 50 tweets-gone viral, Plane Bae soon morphed into a cautionary tale of consent, privacy and doxxing. What does this incident reveal to us, except, yet again, that the internet is misogynistic?Also today, we discuss two news stories surrounding mental health: firstly, that mental health may be taught to children as young as 4, and secondly, that 70,000 young people including 2,000 young children, are on anti-depressants. Are we right to be cautious of becoming a pill-addicted nation; or do we need to overcome this stigma? And will children as young as 4, really absorb the nuances of mental health? Ultimately, education starts at a grassroots level and needs to be woven throughout the curriculum, focusing on positive preventative measures like exercise and healthy eating. We'd love to here your thoughts on this. If you are suffering with mental health issues or believe someone you know is, you can contact mental health charity MIND at mind.org.uk, to find out more about your local support network.Also today, a beautiful piece on becoming 2 when you thought you would always be 1, by Hannah Betts, why you should fear ‘femtech' and birth control apps by Olivia Sudjic and Viv Albertine's polemic on Fresh Air.LinksNeon Daylight, by Hermione Hoby https://www.amazon.co.uk/Neon-Daylight-Hermione-Hoby/dp/193678775XPicnic at Hanging Rock, on BBC2 https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/b0bb6xvmHannah Betts, the postergirl for singletons, on coupledom for The Times https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/hannah-betts-how-the-poster-girl-for-singletons-found-love-at-last-gjxbfgtngA letter to my friend who is getting married, by Marisa Bate for The Pool https://www.the-pool.com/life/life-honestly/2018/30/Marisa-Bate-letter-to-a-friend-who-is-getting-marriedThe dangers of Natural Cycle and birth control apps, by Olivia Sudjic for The Guardian magazine https://www.theguardian.com/society/2018/jul/21/colossally-naive-backlash-birth-control-appAll Saints on how to be a girl group, by Michael Cragg for The Observer magazine https://www.theguardian.com/music/2018/jul/24/all-saints-on-how-to-be-a-girl-groupViv Albertine on a lifetime of fighting the patriarchy, on NPR's Fresh Air podcast https://www.npr.org/programs/fresh-air/2018/07/16/629365712You can e-mail The High Low thehighlowshow@gmail.com and tweet us @thehighlowshow.

The Slits now-iconic 1979 debut Cut is an unusual, but delightful, melting pot of sounds: strains of UK punk mix with Jamaican reggae, girlish chants dance with abrasive DIY noise. Slipping between the grooves and finding a home within the mix — perhaps most indecipherably, or even curiously, to the casual listener — is the influence of the early-60s pop standards of Dionne Warwick and Burt Bacharach. Growing up in post-war Britain in the 1960s, Slits guitarist Viv Albertine heard plenty of Warwick’s hits while listening to pop radio. Later, as a scrappy young woman running around London with next to no money and not much to do in the early-to-mid ‘70s, she came across a compilation album — Dionne Warwick’s Golden Hits, Part One — in a used record shop with her bandmates. It became not just an album that they spent countless hours listening to together, playing it front-to-back over and over again, but one they — particularly Viv and lead singer Ari Up — would study, dissecting songs to their individual parts and taking note of the details, attempting to learn how to emulate Warwick and Bacharach in their own unique way. For the past 40 years, the Slits have served as touchstones for female musicians, often cited for blazing a necessary trail for the coming riot grrrl movement and beyond. Today, we have the privilege of being able to look to Viv Albertine, and the Slits as a whole, for inspiration and empowerment, and are finally beginning to see their important role in history recognized in more mainstream circles. But in their formative years, female role models, particularly musicians, were much harder to come by; Dionne Warwick was one of them. In this very special episode, we are so pleased to discuss Dionne Warwick’s Golden Hits, Part One with Viv Albertine herself. Join us for a wide-ranging conversation that touches upon Warwick, Bacharach, and Hal David’s influence on the Slits’ music, as well as their own lives as young women in late-70s and early-80s London, the importance of representation, and so much more.

Playwright David Edgar is 70 this year. He was 20 in 1968 coming of age, in Bob Dylan's words, when 'there was music in the cafes at night and revolution in the air'. In a revolutionary move for him David Edgar is taking to the stage himself in the latest of his many theatre pieces. In his one man show, Trying it On, Edgar reflects on the political eruptions of his lifetime and his engagement with them. Why did some revolutionaries embrace Thatcherism? What has his generation achieved? Viv Albertine, author of two bestselling autobiographies, and former member of The Slits, joins literary historian Rebecca Stott, whose ground breaking memoir The Days of Rain won the Costa Biography prize this year, to discuss women's non fiction writing.

Bay Area music critic and culture historian, Greil Marcus, discusses The Slits and former Slits guitarist Viv Albertine's new memoir as well as his fascination with The Manchurian Candidate.Transcript:Lisa Kiefer:Method to the Madness is next. You're listening to Method to the Madness, a biweekly public affairs show on KALX Berkeley, celebrating Bay Area innovators. I'm your host, Lisa Keifer, and today I'll be speaking with Bay Area native and resident Greil Marcus. Greil's has been writing about music and culture for the last 40 plus years, and today we're going to be talking about an event coming up as part of the Bay Area Book Festival. He'll be speaking with Viv Albertine, formerly of the seminal girl punk band, the Slits, on Sunday, April 29th at 3:15 PM at the David Brower Center, Goldman Theater, right here in Berkeley at 2150 Allston Way. Viv Albertine wrote a debut memoir in 2014 that was shortlisted for the National Book Award. Her new book is called To Throw Away Unopened. We'll be talking about that and much, much more.Did you ever see The Slits live?Greil Marcus:Nope.Lisa Kiefer:When did you first hear the Slits?Greil Marcus:You know, I heard the Slits, I was in England in 1980, and I went over there to do a story about the Raincoats and the Gang of Four and Essential Logic early in 1980, and met everybody, and in some cases had formed lifelong friendships out of that trip. And somebody handed me a record there. Yeah, it was called Once Upon a Time in a Living Room. It was the Slits official bootleg, or maybe, I don't know how official it was. It was on Y Records, and it was just the rawest stuff I'd ever heard in my life. I knew who the Slits were, I was aware of them. I heard their first album and it didn't knock me out, but this destroyed me.The first song, Once Upon a Time in a Living Room, starts off with one of them saying, "You're ready?" And someone else is, "Ready?" And then they just burst into laughter, and then there's this tremendous guitar chord coming down and that's it. There is just this storm of guitar noise with the most joyous back and forth, up and down yelping all through. It really is a song, even though at any given moment you, depending on how you're hearing it, it absolutely is noise. But there is a song, there is a musical theme. There are words, not that you could ever make them out. And I just thought it was the purest expression of punk I'd ever heard and I still do.Speaker 3:You're ready? Ready! Oh, no. (singing)Greil Marcus:I just fall over. How could anybody have the nerve to do this?Lisa Kiefer:They had no role models. It was so fresh. And I wonder, has there been anything so fresh as that period of time where the Sex Pistols emerged? They came on the scene, it was a short time, then they're gone. Do you think there's been anything quite like that?Greil Marcus:Yeah, there are analogies. There are parallels, maybe. Elvis at Sun Records in 1954 and '55. It was a similar explosion of creativity, and it brought people from all over the south to knocking on that same door saying, "Let me in. I want to make records too." And a lot of those people became legends, and there's creativity going on in hip hop, just unlimited. There are no borders. There's no bottom, there's no top. It's not just Kendrick Lamar, it's not just Kanye West. There is a group in Edinburgh called the Young Fathers, which is just tremendously playful and experimental, and at the same time, dead serious.Speaker 4:(singing)Greil Marcus:And I'm just talking about the few things I know, but in terms of coherence, with punk in England you have a time, you have a place, you have a scene, you have all different kinds of people who know each other, who are topping each other, who are learning from each other. Viv Albertine of the Slits, I want to be a guitarist. Well, she finds people who can show her how to be a guitarist, and there isn't envy and there isn't fear. I don't want to teach her, you know, she may end up outshining me. There isn't that spirit and it doesn't last very long. None of them. And yet that kind of camaraderie and a desire to speak and a desire to be heard, that was really what punk was all about, at least as I hear it. That was replicated all over the world and still is.One of the best stories about punk I ever heard was from a friend of mine who was spending time in Andalusia in Spain, and she's fluent in Spanish, and she was sitting in a cafe, and these kids came up to her and they said, "You're American, right?" And she said, "Yes." "But you speak Spanish." And she said, "Yes." And they said, "Well, we're punkies, and we have the Sex Pistols album, but we don't understand any of the words. Could you translate these songs for us?" So she did. And that led them, this little group of people who were trying, they didn't know if they wanted to form a band, if they wanted to put out a magazine, if they just wanted to do disruptive things in public, put on hit and run plays.That led them to rediscovering the history of their own town. The anarchist history of their own town, which had been completely erased and buried. And they started talking to older people, and they started digging into the libraries, and they realized that they were the heirs of a tradition that was being reenacted on this Sex Pistols record. And it gave them this tremendous sense of pride and identity. Now they didn't form a band, they didn't make any records, and yet that is a punk story. That is a story about a punk band, band of people as true and as inspiring as any other.Lisa Kiefer:It's a way of being, like as you've pointed out in many examples in Lipstick Traces, one of my favorite of your books.Greil Marcus:Oh, thank you.Lisa Kiefer:And I find myself going back to that. I mean I bought it when it came out, and the Lester Bangs collection that you edited.Greil Marcus:Sure.Lisa Kiefer:That I continue to go to, and that really opened my eyes. I was listening to this kind of music and I saw the cover and I thought, oh, this is a book about the Sex Pistols. So I start reading it and really it wasn't, but it educated me on the history, all the movements that I considered to be punk. From the Priests going up on Easter Sunday in 1950 and saying, "God is dead."Greil Marcus:In Notre Dame.Lisa Kiefer:Somewhere in France.Greil Marcus:Easter Mass in Notre Dame.Lisa Kiefer:And then, 10 years later, and John Lennon saying, "We're more popular than Jesus." I mean, this has been happening along the way.Greil Marcus:Yeah. And what was so fascinating to me, and the stories I end up trying to tell in Lipstick Traces was that it involved all sorts of people who were not unaware of each other, but are doing the same work, speaking the same language in different formal languages, whether it's English or French or German or whatever it might be.These are people who never met, who, if you told them, if you told the Dadaist Richard Huelsenbeck in the 1970s just before he died, that his real inheritors, his real soulmates were these people across town, he was living on the Upper West Side in Manhattan, people across town called the Velvet Underground, he might say, "I have all their albums." Or he might say, "Leave me alone. I'm a serious psychoanalyst." Who knows? But these people weren't aware of each other, and yet they are following in each other's footsteps and taking inspiration from other, whether they know it or not.Lisa Kiefer:Let's talk a little bit about what's going on Sunday and your conversation with Viv, her first memoir, and now I want to talk a little bit about musician memoirs. I love literature deeply and it's kind of my guilty pleasure to read all of these rock memoirs or whatever, whether it's Keith Richards, Kim Gordon. Have you read Kim Gordon's?Greil Marcus:Sure.Lisa Kiefer:Viv's first one, which is called Clothes, Clothes, Clothes, Music, Music, Music, Boys, Boys, Boys, it was so entertaining. I was so engaged and I didn't expect to be.Greil Marcus:You know, it's a marvelous book.Lisa Kiefer:You called it the best punk book ever.Greil Marcus:I think it is. I think if you want to get a sense of what impelled people, what drove people to step out of their shells, their shyness, their manners, their politeness and reinvent themselves and the joy they felt in doing so for a very brief period of time, this book will show you that, not just tell you, but show that to you, like no other book or film that I'm aware of. But you know, the title really sums up Viv Albertine, I think. Clothes, Clothes, Clothes, Boys, Boys, Boys, Music, Music, Music, which is what her mother once said. "That's all you care about. Clothes, clothes, clothes and boys, boys, boys and music, music, music." And she's, "Yeah, that's right." And there's a wonderful scene at the end of the book. She's in her fifties, she's been married and divorced, she has a daughter, she has this boyfriend and their relationship is not working.And at one point he just explodes, and he grabs her by the neck, and he's shoving her face into the carpet on the floor and she really feels he's trying to kill her, and she's struggling and she's thinking, but she takes you right into her head at that moment. And she says, "Here's a man who I've introduced to my mother and my daughter, who I've cooked for, who I've dressed. I've done everything for this person. And here I am wearing an applique blouse." And she goes and tells you exactly what clothes she's wearing at this moment. And he's pounding my face into the carpet. And she says, "You know, there's just no pleasing some people," and she has that sardonic attitude. But what have you got here? While there's no music in that scene, but you got the boys and you got the clothes, and there's an appendix that tells you what she was wearing and what she was listening to and who she was involved with in any given point of time in the many years covered by this book.The only analogy to that is a Jan and Dean album, the wonderful surf doo-wop group from the 50s and 60s, and it's a collection, and on the back of the album there's a concordance matching the car and girlfriend that Jan or Dean had at the time any given record was released. And what's really fascinating as you read through this is that both the cars and the girlfriends are constantly shifting back and forth between the two of them. They both have Corvettes. One gets a Porsche, the other gets a Maserati. One is going out with Jill, the other's going out with Debbie, and then Debbie is going out with the other one. It's just so funny to read. And so is Viv Albertine's book.Lisa Kiefer:Yeah, she starts her book saying, "I don't masturbate and I never had a desire to masturbate." That's how she starts the book. Later she's talking about Ari Up, who is their vocalist, that she takes a wee right on the stage. I mean, that had to be the first time ever for a girl band to, she had to go and that's where she did it. She was stabbed a couple of times. Really vivid, and you just get this idea that she was so courageous and brave and honest. She's talking about when she first started listening to T. Rex. And why? Because he was a little less aggressively masculine. And I can remember the same thing happened to me in my little town in the Midwest. No one was listening to T. Rex. They did not understand what I liked about Marc Bolan and I loved him, so I've really connected with this book on many levels.Greil Marcus:Yeah, and one of the things that I find so moving in her new book, it's called To Throw Away Unopened, which is another book. I hate to think of them as memoirs because both of these books are so imaginatively constructed, and they really are about things outside the writer's life. The writer is living in a world. The world is present in these books. I think of them as much more ambitious intellectually than memoirs. What happened to me, this all really happened. You should care about it. Why should I care about this? I don't care about this. You have to make me care.This is a book revolving around the death of her mother in 2014, which was at the time that she published her first book, and her conflicts with her sister, and the mystery of her parents' marriage and why it broke up, and who her parents really were. Things that she began to find out after her mother died. Putting all this stuff together, and yet you are always aware of a particular individual fighting to maintain her sense of self, which is constructed, which is self-conscious, which is real, but which could disappear and shatter at any time.There's one incident early on in the book, where she's talking about going to pubs, playing her songs. You know, she's got her guitar, she goes to places, she plays songs because she wants to be heard. She's not making money doing this. She's not supporting herself doing this. It's something she absolutely has to do. And she's in one pub, and there's a bunch of guys right up front who are really drunk and loud-mouthing and shouting and paying no attention to her at all, making it impossible for anybody else to pay attention to her. And there are people there who want to, and impossible for her to pay attention to what she's supposedly doing. So she asked him, "Could you maybe go to the back, maybe go to the bar. I'm trying to get these songs across." And they ignore her. They didn't even say (beep) you. Sorry, we're on the radio.Lisa Kiefer:I'll bleep.Greil Marcus:They don't say a word to her, they just ignore her. And so she gets up, she puts her guitar down, she gets up, she walks over to their table, she picks up a mug of ale, which is the closest thing to her, and she simply sweeps it across the faces of these four guys sitting at the table, and they look at her, absolutely stunned. And then she picks up another mug and she says it was a Guinness, which, this is Viv Albertine as a writer. Every detail is important. It's a Guinness. That's interesting. It's going to be thicker. It's going to stay in clothes more. It's actually going to be more unpleasant to have that thrown in your face.And she throws that in their face and she says, "Your punk attitude, it comes back to you when you need it." And there's a way in which that is sort of the key as I read it anyway, to this new book, as it comes back to you in terms of the the responsibility you have to not back down, to stand up for yourself, but also to stand up for things you believe are right and in jeopardy, to fight when you have to. And to be relentlessly honest, and not pretend you don't care when you do or that you do care when you don't.Lisa Kiefer:I've read her first book. The second isn't out yet. So are they going to be selling it on Sunday?Greil Marcus:Well, she's on a book tour.Lisa Kiefer:So I assume it'll be there.Greil Marcus:So presumably, you don't go on a book tour unless you've got a book that people can go out and get.Lisa Kiefer:And it is the Bay Area Book Festival.Greil Marcus:Yeah.Lisa Kiefer:So, it sounds like you think it's as strong as the first book, which was nominated for a National Book Award.Greil Marcus:It's very different. It's very different, and as writing, it certainly is strong. Whether the story is smaller in terms of the room that makes for the reader, maybe it is, I'm not sure. Viv Albertine is a remarkable person who's done exceptional things in her life, who has a tremendous sense of humor, who has a sense of jeopardy and danger.You can hear it in her music and you can feel it coming off the pages that she writes. I don't know what we're going to talk about. I don't know what this will be like. I just know that as someone listening to the record she made, seeing her play live, reading her books, that she is just a person who can go in any direction at any time. I saw her in 2009 at the Kitchen in Brooklyn, at a show with the Raincoats. She was opening for them, just herself and her electric guitar. Most of what she did was tell stories on stage, was talk. She played songs, but she was mainly telling stories, and it was the most entertaining and diverting and compelling stuff I'd seen in a long time. I was just hanging on every word, and she was both funny and sardonic and cruel to herself and anybody she might be talking about.And at one point she made some reference to how she looks. She was, I think, 54 then. She looked about 30. There was just no question. You say, "Is this real? Is this happening?" And she said, "Yeah, yeah, I know, it's the curse of the Slits." Well, one thing I'm going to ask her is, "What do you mean by that?" You know, the Fountain of Youth? What's going on here? You know, I met her once in, I think, 1991 in England.Lisa Kiefer:When she was doing films. She's a director.Greil Marcus:Yeah, she was a TV director. We were introduced and I said, "My God, you're Viv Albertine?" I'm like, wow. And she was saying, "No, I just, you know, I'm just doing this little TV crew." And I said, "No, this is a big deal for me to meet you." Well, it will be a big deal for me to meet her again.Lisa Kiefer:If you're just tuning in, you're listening to Method to the Madness, a biweekly public affairs show on KALX Berkeley, celebrating Bay Area innovators. Today I'm speaking with Greil Marcus, music critic and culture historian.You've written a monogram on The Manchurian Candidate sometime ago, and you introduced it as part of a film series at the Pacific Film Archive this week. What is your fascination with this Frankenheimer film?Greil Marcus:Well, I saw it when it came out in 1961, saw it at the Varsity Theater in Palo Alto with my best friend. I was 16 and came out of that movie shellshocked. I had never seen anything like it. The only analogy was, I guess the year before seeing Psycho in a theater across the street in Palo Alto. And when that chair turns around at the end of the movie, and you see this mummy, I think you could have peeled me off the ceiling of the theater. But that movie, ultimately it was a puzzle. It was a game. It was a tease for the audience. It wasn't about anything real. You didn't carry it with you. It wasn't like a waking bad dream. It wasn't like a bad conscience that this movie was passing onto, and that's what The Manchurian Candidate was. It was shocking in every way I could possibly account for, and at 16 couldn't begin to account for.I realize now that I had never seen a movie that so completely went to the edges of possibility of the medium itself. What I mean by that is I understood what movies could be after seeing The Manchurian Candidate, and I had never even thought the movies could or couldn't be anything before. The question wasn't even there. The only comparable experience was seeing Murnau's Sunrise quite a few years later and say, "Ah, now I understand this is what movies were meant to be, but almost never are."Lisa Kiefer:With Trump as our president, it's almost like he could be the Manchurian Candidate.Greil Marcus:Well, you know, since John McCain was first running for president and he was, you know, remember he was a prisoner of war and he was beaten and he was tortured. He was filmed, essentially confessing. And there were many people who began to spread rumors about him that he was, and this phrase was used, the Manchurian Candidate, that he had been brainwashed in Vietnam.And he had come back here as a kind of sleeper agent. And somebody once said to him, "How do you make decisions?" And he said, "Well, I just turn over the Red Queen," which is one of the clues in The Manchurian Candidate.Lisa Kiefer:Yeah, I brought one with me. I was going to try and brainwash you.Greil Marcus:Yes, exactly. The Queen of Hearts. That is a crucial marker in the film. But it wasn't that it was showing us a conspiracy to destroy our country, which is part of what the movie is about. And that we would then say, "Oh my God, this could happen. This is so scary. This is so terrible." Over the years, this is 1961 or '62, Kennedy, John F. Kennedy was involved in the making of the movie. He and Sinatra discussed it. Kennedy wanted Lucille Ball to play the role of the mother that Angela Lansbury ended up playing. Kennedy was weighing in on the casting.He and Sinatra were close at that time. Sinatra's the lead in the movie. Kennedy is assassinated in 1963, Malcolm X was later. It was Malcolm X who said that with Kennedy's assassination, the chickens had come home to roost. And then we just go through the decades, it's just a panoply of disaster, whether it's Wallace, whether it's Reagan, whether it's Malcolm X, whether it's Martin Luther King, whether it's RFK, and going on and on to Gerald Ford, two assassination attempts on him, and into the present.As each of these things happened, the movie comes back to people with more and more reverberation because the story, the sense that our politics don't make sense. This is that everything is happening in a world beyond our control, knowledge or even our abilities to comprehend.Lisa Kiefer:And there are so many secrets that we aren't able to know about.Greil Marcus:Yeah, this gets more and more present. So when you end up with a president, a candidate, and then a president who is at the very least beholden to, and at the very worst, under the control of another country, it's almost as if you can't make the Manchurian Candidate argument because it's too trivial. Well, this movie said, but that's what we carry around our heads.But what's shocking about the movie? I want to get back to that because if people haven't seen it, it was unavailable for many years. It was essentially, it wasn't banned in any legal sense, of course, but you couldn't see it for many, many years. It just felt wrong after Kennedy's assassination and it played on TV after Kennedy was assassinated, but then Sinatra controlled the movie. He pulled it. It didn't come out in video. It didn't show on late night TV. It didn't show in revival screenings. It just wasn't there.You could tell people about it as a kind of legend. Now it's available. People can watch it in any way they want, at any time they want. And one of the things that happens in this movie is violence. Violence that from the very first moment is wounding, is disturbing, is hard to take, and it's absolutely in your face. I mean that literally, the movie puts blood splatters in your face. It happens in a way that you're just desperate, as the movie is going on, for it not to go where you know it's going to go. This is not a movie with a happy ending. This has one of the most awful endings that I know. It is an ending of complete despair and self-loathing and hopelessness. The last words of the movie is Sinatra. "Hell, hell, hell!" That's how the movie ends. And there's a thunderclap. Bang. That's it. And you just walk out of there...Lisa Kiefer:Stunned.Greil Marcus:... and it's like your world has been taken away from you. None of this would matter if this movie wasn't made with tremendous glee and excitement on the part of the director and the writer and the editor and the cinematographer and Lawrence Harvey and Frank Sinatra...Lisa Kiefer:Great cast.Greil Marcus:... and Angela Lansbury and Janet Leigh and on and on and on. All these people are working over their heads. They've never been involved in anything that demanded so much of them, that is making them feel, this is what I was born to do. Can I pull this off? Can I make this work? Can I convince people this is who I really am, that I actually would do these terrible things, and going past themselves. None of the people in this movie, to my knowledge or the way I see it, ever did anything as good before or after.They never did anything as innovative. They never did anything as radical. They never did anything as scary. And whether or not they felt that way about their own work in their own lives, don't have any idea, but I don't think so.Lisa Kiefer:I do want you to mention your website, which I have found to be very interesting. What is that?Greil Marcus:Well, there's a writer named Scott Woods who lives in Canada, and he approached me a number of years ago and asked if he could set up a website to collect my writing and just be a gathering place. And I said, "Sure." It's greilmarcus.net, and he just immediately began putting up articles, old things I'd written, recent things I'd written in no particular order, no attempt to be comprehensive, at least not right away. He did it with such incredible imagination and flair, but he started a feature a few years ago. It has the rather corny title of Ask Greil where people write in and ask me questions, and it could be about a song, or a band, or politics, or history or anything, or novels, movies. And I just answered them. I answered them all immediately because if I didn't, they'd pile up and I'd never get back to them. Is Donald Trump a Russian agent? Well, here's why he might be, and that's a complicated argument. So I take some time to talk about it.Lisa Kiefer:Thank you for coming onto Method to the Madness and being our guest here at KALX.Greil Marcus:Well, thank you. It's a thrill to be on your show.Lisa Kiefer:That was musicologist Greil Marcus. He'll be in conversation this Sunday, April 29th at 3:15 with Viv Albertine, formerly of the Slits. This is part of the Bay Area Book Festival in partnership with the San Francisco Chronicle. They'll be speaking at the Goldman Theater of the David Brower Center at 2150 Allston Way. Tickets are $10 ahead.You've been listening to Method to the Madness. You can find all of our podcasts on iTunes University. We'll be back in two weeks.

Nothing grants insight into lived experience quite like a memoir, and the form is currently having a resurgence. This month, we celebrate the memoirs that take us from the experience of giving birth to coming out to what it’s like to be in a world-famous band, via all the richness and thorny issues that this form promises. Our guest is Viv Albertine, former guitarist in the hugely influential all-female punk band The Slits. Her first memoir, Clothes, Clothes, Clothes. Music, Music, Music. Boys, Boys, Boys, was published in 2015, and she came in to talk to us about its follow-up, To Throw Away Unopened. It's published this month, and is about many things but mostly her complicated relationship with her extraordinary mother and growing up as a working-class kid in London.

Viv Albertine was the guitarist in the cult punk band The Slits and a key player in British counter culture before working as a film maker and launching a solo career. Her new memoir, To Throw Away Unopened, unpicks family secrets which shaped her childhood and her early creative influences. This book begins when she is at the launch party for her hugely successful first book Clothes, Clothes, Clothes, Music, Music, Music, Boys, Boys, Boys and her sister calls with news that their mother is dying. After a two-year £35m refurbishment, the Queen Elizabeth Hall and the Purcell Room on London's Southbank re-open this week.

Lauren Laverne interviews Viv Albertine at the Free Thinking festival for the first edition of BBC Radio 4's Late Night Woman's Hour to be recorded in front of an audience. Writer and film maker Albertine reflects on being the guitarist in pioneering all-female punk band The Slits, whose 1979 album Cut is frequently voted one of the most influential albums of all time. But - as she outlines in her autobiography Clothes, Clothes, Clothes, Music, Music, Music, Boys, Boys, Boys - she hasn't always had an easy relationship with her punk past, and when her daughter was born, Albertine initially didn't tell her about her part in the punk revolution. Following the breakup of The Slits, Albertine briefly worked as an aerobics instructor before going on to film-making, acting (she took a lead role in Joanna Hogg's 2013 film Exhibition) and a solo recording career (debut solo album The Vermilion Border was released in 2012). When her autobiography was first published, with its frank reflections on (amongst other things) masturbation, sex, the punk ethos, IVF, and marriage, Albertine confessed to journalist Alexis Petridis that she worried "have I gone too far? I always go too far." In a frank and funny conversation, Albertine reflects on the resurgence of feminism after the 'desert' of the 1980s, the vital role her daughter played in her decision to return to music, and the advantages of not caring too much what people think.

"Success is not final, failure is not fatal," said Winston Churchill. The American satirist Joe Queenan thinks he might be wrong. In this archive hour follow up to his previous programmes on Blame, Shame, Anger and Irony, Queenan rails against the very idea of failure. His sharpest attack is reserved for the supposed romance of defeat. From Braveheart in Scotland via the heretic Cathars in France to the pretend soldiers in Virginia still re-enacting the American Civil War, Queenan explores whether there may be something noble about losing a war. "I'm in the south, at one of the many re-enactment battles of the American civil war that go on every year. Thousands have turned up to re-fight a war they lost. We don't do this in the north - it would be odd, and divisive, perhaps even inflammatory. But the memories of a conflict that took place over 150 years down here - they don't go away." This is the first of two archive programmes from Joe Queenan, with A Brief History of Lust coming next week. Failure features archive contributions from classics professor Edith Hall; historian Geoffrey Regan; writer Armando Iannucci; former political correspondent and Strictly star John Sergeant; plus music from Laura Marling, Viv Albertine of the Slits and rock and roll's greatest failure, John Otway. The producer in Bristol is Miles Warde.

Book Slam hits new heights with some prime pugilism of the literary variety. BILL HILLMAN (prize-fighter, gang-banger, bull runner) reads from his gripping debut novel, 'The Old Neighborhood', guitarist from The Slits and punk pioneer, VIV ALBERTINE, introduces her memoir, 'Clothes, Clothes, Clothes. Music, Music, Music. Boys, Boys, Boys' and Mercury Prize nominee and laureate of the lost, KATE TEMPEST, tells it exactly like it is. Cheery? Not quite. Essential? Most definitely. Elliott has the sponge, Patrick's on cuts and Vaseline.

Det brittiska bandet The Slits kom att revolutionera både mode och musik när de i september 1979 gav ut sin debutskiva Cut. Nej, riktigt så gick det inte till. Förändringen kom snarare att ske gradvis, och det var inte alltid de fyra kvinnorna i bandet som fick äran för sina nyskapande idéer, som att blanda in reggaerytmer i rocken, klä sig i både tyll och tunga kängor och ge fullkomligt den i att försöka spela på sin kvinnliga charm. I veckans STIL berättar vi mer om punkpionjärerna i The Slits. I likhet med många andra banbrytare var The Slits helt enkelt före sin tid, och istället för dem blev det The Clash som gratulerades till att ha fört in reggae i punken, Madonna, Cindy Lauper och Courtney Love som prisades för att se ut som om de klätt sig på fyllan med förbundna ögon – och riot grrrls för att ha fört fram ett feministiskt perspektiv inom musiken. Om man ska hårdra det hela. Men äras den som äras bör. Med sitt alternativa sätt att som kvinnor klä sig, och bete sig, på scen har The Slits banat väg för många andra kvinnor som inte vill nöja sig med att vara näpna.  The Slits sätt att närma sig musik var lika okonventionellt som deras val av kläder. The Slits hade inte någon större vördnad för rockhistoriska referenser, eller några traditionella gitarrhjältar som husgudar. De lyssnade på musik från Latinamerika, Afrika och Jamaica och värjde sig länge mot att kallas för ”punk”. ”Vi är inte punk, vi är The Slits och vi gör Slits-musik”, som de sade. I veckans program åker vi till London och träffar Viv Albertine. Hon spelade gitarr i The Slits och publicerade nyligen sin självbiografi som har fått översvallande god kritik, inte bara av musiknördar. Men så handlar boken om så mycket mer, vilket titeln skvallrar om: ”Clothes, Clothes, Clothes. Music, Music, Music. Boys, Boys, Boys”. Idag, då kroppsmedvetenheten är överallt förekommande och varenda selfie noga filtreras innan den läggs ut till allmänt beskådande, är det nästan svårt att greppa med vilken självklarhet de fyra kvinnorna i The Slits ansåg att de hade rätt att vara precis som de var. ”Jag är inte här för att bli omtyckt, utan för att bli lyssnad på”. Så svarade Ari Up, sångerskan i The Slits, när de fick kommentarer om hur de såg ut, och hur de betedde sig. Ari Up var bara 14 år gammal när The Slits bildades. Hon blev känd föra sin vilda scenpersonlighet, men också föra sina långa dreadlocks. Men varifrån kommer egentligen fördomen om att dreadlocks skulle vara smutsiga? Vi har pratar med konstnären och musikern Makode Linde. Det vara inte bara kvinnliga rockmusiker som började göra sig gällande under 1970-talets punk-era. Tiden gav också utrymme åt kvinnliga rockskribenter, och rockfotografer. En av dem var Roberta Bayley. Det är hon som har tagit omslagsbilden till en annan klassisk skiva från denna tid – den amerikanska gruppen Ramones debutplatta, från 1976. Ett omslag som lanserade en rocklook bestående av smala jeans, tajta tröjor och svarta skinnjackor. Vi har ringt upp Roberta Bayley i New York. Veckans gäst är Petter Wallenberg, skribent, producent och artist under namnet House of Wallenberg. Programmet är en repris från 19 september 2014.

This is called the Barfcast because I feel like utter, unmitigated shite this morning, after another awesome evening with Mrs. Toad getting scooshed and playing records.  I think I had Weald on at the maximum volume our amp can actually manage.  Which, for the record, is pretty fucking loud. So now I am off to get ready for not one, but three gigs.  Firstly the Ides of Toad at Henry's, then Lach and Viv Albertine after that, and then Flamin' Hott Toadzzz! in Anstruther tomorrow.  When the chance to have a good sleep comes, I think I will have earned it! Sometime this week I will figure out what the fuck to do with the 200th podcast. Or at least, I'd better!  There have been a good few calls to get Mrs. Toad back on, which is a lovely idea, but will depend very much on whether or not she can possibly be arsed, which I wouldn't take for granted. 01.
