Musicians and their mothers and the records we could never sell

We spun the week’s rock and roll roulette wheel and this is where the balls landed …
… why all rock biopics are worth seeing once.
… ‘demixing’: we spent ages perfecting records. Now we’re unperfecting them.
… the adorable hand-drawn flyer the 15 year-old Robert Plant made for his band Blacksnake Moan 60 years ago - “the weirdest, wildest sound in R&B!”
… are all musicians driven by the urge to please their mums?
… Pyjamarama, Crazy Diamond, Cigarettesnalcohol and other rock and roll racehorses.
… why “The Room” by Fabiano do Nascimento and Sam Gendel is “healing music”.
… has anyone been ‘bigger’ than Taylor Swift? And how can she be so universally popular and yet we can go through life without hearing a note of her music?
… the Pet Shop Boys at the London Palladium: “we don’t do waving”.
… “Something's lost but something's gained in living every day” - Joni Mitchell.
… are any possesions more precious than records?
... and birthday guest Kevin Rose recommends the Brian Wilson biopic Love & Mercy - and we talk about Control (Joy Division), Backbeat (the early Beatles), Rocket Man and Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis.

DB's collection is still being processed - he's already asked for 3 of them back !

The Love and Mercy biopic is wonderful. It's on TV fairly regularly and is definitely worth watching even if you're not even a BB/Brian fan. My GLW falls into that category and she loved it too.

Thank you for putting so many details in the doodly-doo! 'Wellness Moods' instead of 'Healing' perhaps. Autotune & 'brick' everything is the zeitgeist.

Yes, also the fact Taylor Swift has re-recorded albums so making even more world-wide best sellers, such is her massive sway. She sells!

This podcast and the turf - heaven! Thoroughbred Database website shows seven horses with the name of Lovely Rita - bred in America, Argentina, New Zealand, South Africa and Britain. The sire of one of the Lovely Ritas is called Topsider. Dams include Lola and Strawberry Fields. Personal favourite racehorse with a musical name - Tangerine Trees (by Mind Games out of Easy to Imagine).

I think the rolling stones did a stadium tour in 1982. Newcastle, London and Bristol.

6 advert breaks in 47 min is a bit much

@bramwell9544 2 ай бұрын

The creators of podcasts have no say in the amount of adverts. Simply pay for no adverts.

Because of analogue paraphenalia (turntables, speakers, cables, etc.) I duscarded all my albums twenty years ago, but my children's book collection is sacrosanct !

Ah, the wonders of the modern world! I just saw that Robert Plant poster on Tok Tik [sic].

Our vinyl collections are the last tangible link to our ever receding youth, perhaps the only inanimate thing that is truly ours and which only we truly own. Nobody else. With another owner the link would be broken. It's part of our identity, our belonging and history. The shadow behind us.

I honestly wish I could UN-watch the Bowie biopic...

Dave trying to recreate the cover of Band On The Run in the thumbnail?

My memory was triggered by Dave's mention of The Room, by a Brazillian musician. Apropos of nothing, the same title belongs to a cult film, supposedly the worst of all time, however, my recollection was of my 16 year old self borrowing The Room by Hubert Selby Jnr from the local library. If you're familiar with the book, you'll understand the complete detonation of a young mind.
