    EP264: Joy Division "Unknown Pleasures"

    EP264: Joy Division "Unknown Pleasures"

    The shadow(play) of this band and this record in particular, looms large.  From its iconic cover to the deification of singer Ian Curtis after his suicide shortly after the albums release to their transformation into the stadium filling New Order afterward, everything about Joy Division feels big and important.  But what about the music itself?  Sure it influenced everyone from The Cure to U2, Tears For fears to Interpol but does it hold up on its own merits in 2024?  We dig into the fading new dawn and attempt to remember everything.

    EP263: Wire "Pink Flag"

    EP263: Wire "Pink Flag"

    Outside of Black Sabbath and the Ramones, it’s hard to imagine a band more influential to Alternative music than Wire. Without their first three albums, 80’s Post Punk & College Rock, 90’s Shoegaze & Brit Pop and the indie rock of 2000’s would have all sounded completely different and early 80’s Hardcore maybe never exists.  Their 1977 debut is simultaneously a totem of its time and entirely timeless. Pink Flag's songs span just over thirty five minutes and there’s nary a wasted second with every note spawning a new genre / inspiring a new band.  We dive deep.  Flex your head.

    EP262BS: Black Sabbath "Headless Cross"

    EP262BS: Black Sabbath "Headless Cross"

    Unbeknownst to us, this long unavailable album would be remastered and made available on all your notable music streaming services only a week or two after we recorded this episode.  That means that you can now hear it with Apple Music or Spotify clarity as opposed to the less than desirable ad-riddled YouTube experience we had to endure to prep for this conversation.  Does that vastly improve the record’s listening experience?  No, no it does not.  You can’t polish a turd.  Enter at your own risk.

Gotioytty ,

Great pod

Please do a Manchester version of great cities:

Stone roses, joy division, oasis and so much ore more material to work with.

Guess who losers… ,

Great pod cast

Great pod cast. It’s alway good up to when Mike and Glenn start talking.

Magnum Steve.I. ,

Excellent podcast

I’ve been listening to this pod for the better part of a year and it keeps getting better. Mike & Rod (and Glen when he’s on) offer unique insight to some great music. I’m partial to the punk/hardcore episodes, but still find something interesting in all of their discussions. My particular favs are the Naked Raygun and Fugazi episodes. When can we finally get one dedicated to Hüsker Dü?
