A free-form spontaneous jam this week - the Dark Star of podcasts – which navigates the outer reaches of the rock and roll stratosphere by way of the following …
… was Michael Stipe’s father a military helicopter pilot in Korea?
… our fantasy Odd Couple tragi-comedy: Morrissey and Marr in a thin-skinned middle-aged flat share.
… how the Golden Egg launched Roxy Music.
… can anyone name more than one member of Coldplay?
… did Paddy McAloon’s mum make the sets for the Clangers?
… the ’80s version of the Internet.
… memories of lost London: international magazine shops, drinking in offices, Protein Man, roaming Hare Krishnas, “floating a curry”, wasp-covered sarnies in café windows, band flyers on derelict buildings, the romance of old Fleet Street.
… the tangled saga of Bonfire Of The Teenagers.
… “Oasis is the last of the household-name bands”.
… why Toyah is a movie waiting to happen.
… and birthday guest Jelltex on bands he thought had given up now filling stadiums.
