The Afterword #45: The Summercast

Twang, Leedsboy, Hannah, Retropath2 and Askwith hunker down in the pod and reflect on the summer past, the joys of offspring on holidays, sounds enjoyed, buying some old, folk clubs and, inevitably, vinyl vs. CD and the Mighty Tull (briefly, non believers).  The team end on a glum note though, at the though of going back to work.

The Afterword #44: The Lynne Paradox

Ahead of his "triumphant appearance"* in the Dolly Parton slot at Glastonbury Festival this weekend, Jeff Lynne and ELO disciple, DoctorJ, aided by Iain Mc tries to convince DFB & Steven C that he is the messiah and not a naughty Fabs tune ruining boy We get alternate reviews of ELO's recent delayed dat at the 3Arena in Dublin (The Point, for all you old heads) Discover if the line up who played on the band's 1971 live album from Long Beach, CA are still all above ground Why is he back and is it just the case that rock snobbery got him so wrong. Won't DFB just let DoctorJ speak without slipping jokes under his enthusiastic theories cos it's really annoying. Is it just rock / pop music for people who know fuck all about rock / pop music? Don't bring me down, let's rockaria! * so spake Nostradamus \ DrJ

The Afterword #43 : Who's Gonna Love You When Your Hooks Are Gone?

The Afterword #43 : Who's Gonna Love You When Your Hooks Are Gone?

The team that bought you the last podcast bring you this one. DFB's shaky theory that Bob Dylan has retired from writing his own material to recording rum old Sinatra covers LPs is given a right kicking. But we do settle on the last great American songwriter standing. You clue is....it's Paul Simon. No. It is. Stop suggesting your pet obscure faves, it is. So we celebrate Paul in his many different guises, list those compilation albums in full and consider the 'also rans' like Tom Waits, John Grant and some bloke from Spoon. It's not scientific it's just blokes talking

The Afterword #42: Quick Chat At The Boss Stop

The Afterword #42: Quick Chat At The Boss Stop

My-o-my that DFB, Welsh Benny, DoctorJ, StevenC and Iains_o don't half talk a lot. So much so that the edi of the main next podcast has been delayed so here's the other stuff they chatted about Live updates from Bruce Springsteen at Croke Park Dublin from Mrs DoctorJ The Monkees album opinions from those who have and haven't heard it The Stone Roses give short shrift as usual And the regular mention of Jeff Lynne All very inconsequential but it passes 30 mins or so

Merde in the Afterword

Merde in the Afterword

Best selling author Stephen Clarke pops into the pod to tell The Afterword about his new book "Merde in Europe", interviewing 90s pop stars in the streets of Paris, and trying to get Prince lyrics into the French/English dictionary. Given the amount of merde regularly talked here, this seemed a good topic for this week's episode.

The Afterword #39: We Are Not Appreciated As The Mighty Fall

The Afterword #39: We Are Not Appreciated As The Mighty Fall

Long threatened but now complete, the Afterword returns from its self enforced spring break with a podcast dedicated to The Fall. Your host DFB chats with Gavin "Whole" Hogg and Dr "Tim" Volume comparing the length of their Fall collections and many other matters   - The Russian roulette of The Fall in concert but isn't that better than the dull alternative? - What were Mark E Smith's observations of the Scottish Hotel & Gretchen Franklin?- The offshoot industry of the Fallen- Would you pick up Mark if you saw him at a bus-stop?- Where to start if you should ever want to enter the weird and frightening world.   Obviously contains imitations of Mark E Smith  impressions (Dr Volume - excellent and uncanny / DFB- a combination of Patrick Marber's northern drug dealer & Frank Sidebottom / Gavin - wisely opts out)   And remember, wherever two or three people gather to discuss M.E.S and The Fall there are thousands saying "Flipping muppets haven't got a clue" - we salute you all - uh.

The Afterword #38: Jazz & Dave

The Afterword #38: Jazz & Dave

We crawl out of the oxygen tent, tens of millions of peoploids trying tomake sense of the future that David Bowie was always outlining to us.DrJ, Steven C, SimonGMusic, John Connolly and DFB use this podcast as a cathartic exercise in remembering a musical hero and trying to figure out why, nearly a week on at time of recording, we still are shellshocked and scrabbling around in the dust.- the living art project 'David Bowie' by Mr David Jones from Brixton - the ever circling 'David Bowie Is' exhibition- the 'J' word- We try and review 'Blackstar' both aurally and visually- but mostly we just try and celebrate the magnificent bastardThere is no discussion of grief police and the nonsense of social media etc as that can all just be forgotten and his music and spirit will live on. This may not really add anything to the mound of Bowie analysis over the past 2 weeks but it was good for us.
