Where have all the bands gone? 18:49

1M ago18:49

18:49

A few weeks ago Richard Osman on the Rest Is Entertainment podcast pointed out that only 3 bands had had #1s this decade. This was in contrast to the end of the previous century when bands dominated the charts. Why is this? Have all bands disappeared? (Spoiler alert: no.). Why have pop bands fallen off a cliff? On this episode we investigate this n…

Michael Mulcahy unpacks Aussie Pub Rock 46:17

2M ago46:17

46:17

If you're not an Australian it can be hard to identify a distinctive Australian sound or movement. One candidate is the Aussie Pub Rock phenomenon which flourished in the 70s and 80s and out of which bands like AC/DC emerged. One of Australia's leading copywriters joins me in the studio to explain its origins, the secret to its success and its even…

Does "Guilty pleasure" music exist? 20:03

2M ago20:03

20:03

Some people say there's no such thing as guilty pleasures in music. You either like it or you don't. So, own it. Still, would it have a name if it didn't exist? (Well, yes, it might. There are no unicorns, after all.) This episode seeks to understand why some people do feel a sense of guilt when they listen to certain types of music and why that sh…

The Ten Rules Guaranteeing Musical Success 18:04

2M ago18:04

18:04

Some academic bod has analysed every US presidential election and worked out the Keys To Success. He claims to correctly predict every populist vote. Can we do the same for musical success? We can have a go. This is my equivalent - The Ten Keys To Music Success. It's obligatory to say "You won't believe Number 7!", but in reality it's entirely cred…

Steve Pringle Pt 2: How To Get Into The Fall 35:42

2M ago35:42

35:42

This episode is the the second of a double header. Steve Pringle, author of the classic Fall analysis "You Must Get Them All", gave us his thoughts on why the group resonate so strongly for so many in Part One. Here, he suggests to a nominal newcomer to the group's work where to get started on The Fall's vast catalogue. A handful of representative …

The man who wrote the book on The Fall: Steve Pringle 38:50

3M ago38:50

38:50

If an author writes a book analysing every single, every album, every phase and every lineup change of a band, it might be a decent-sized tome. In the case of The Fall, there's over 50 members, over 30 albums, over 500 songs and over 40 years to process. That is exactly what Steve Pringle undertook to carry out and he achieved his aim magnificently…

Oasis and the 90s Nostalgia Delusion 20:51

3M ago20:51

20:51

Oasis are reforming for a reunion tour. Have you heard? What marks out Oasis as so different from their contemporaries? It's hard to believe it's their musical sophistication or their profound lyrics. But something makes them incredibly popular. We also take a look more broadly at why people get so misty-eyed about the 90s. Is it just harking back …

Why Punk Mattered 19:48

3M ago19:48

19:48

On our previous show, Paul Burke proposed that punk was unimportant at the time, left no lasting musical legacy and the reason people still bang on about it is because the middle classes act as its gatekeeper in the media that we all read and watch. In this riposte, while not dismissing all of Paul's points, I'll try to put punk in its cultural con…

Columnist Paul Burke - "Why punk was fake news" 31:09

3M ago31:09

31:09

Contrariness - we've got it. "If you were born after 1970 and don’t remember punk, you’ve almost certainly been misled by people who do. You’ve probably been told – through countless paean-to-punk retrospectives, documentaries and newspaper culture pages – that it was a glorious, anarchic revolution that swept all before it. I can tell you first-h…

From cool to wet to everywhere: A Short History of Indie 21:47

3M ago21:47

21:47

What even defines indie? It used to mean something way back when. Groups that were on independent labels with a DIY approach and a different take on the world. But in a world where Lana Del Rey and Billie Eilish with their billions of listens are indie - even Taylor Swift - does indie mean anything at all any more? How did we get to where we are no…

What you should know about BRAT 18:27

4M ago18:27

18:27

That lime green colour. That blurry font. And now BRAT has been picked up by the Kamala Harris campaign (this is August 2024). Is this something worth finding more about or will it all blow over by the autumn, like Gangnam Style and Barbie did? Almost certainly yes. But, it is intriguing and is, I believe, worthy of analysis. If nothing else, you c…

Why does "4 time" dominate modern western music? 19:42

4M ago19:42

19:42

Turn on commercial radio and what time signature are you 95% likely to hear in the first song? 4 beats to the bar, that's what. Is that just the natural pace of music or is something else going on? In fact, if you went to a dance in the nineteenth century, it would most likely be in 3 time, or a waltz. Travel to, say, Burundi, Bulgaria, Bengaluru o…

Why do sports fans chant? 19:41

Poet and author Paul Feldwick arrived for the first day of school in 1963 just as it The Beatles were starting their domination of the decade.

How to explain the Taylor Swift Phenomenon 18:37

5M ago18:37

18:37

By the end of her 131 date worldwide Eras tour, Taylor Swift will have generated an additional $5 billion for the economy. Other artists have been phenomena before, but surely never before have we seen an artist have this sort of effect. No artist, let alone a female country singer, has ever been Time Person Of The Year before. She seems to be at t…

Why do non-Americans sing in an American accent? 20:12

5M ago20:12

20:12

The American accent in pop and rock music is ubiquitous. It has become the default accent for any aspiring artist to sing in, to the extent that it's virtually taken for granted and no one finds it odd. But it is a bit odd. This episode attempts to unravel the question as to whether singing this way is physiological or sociological. In other words,…

Music and Storytelling featuring crime novelist, Sarah Bailey 32:04

5M ago32:04

32:04

Short stories in songs and music in stories. An episode of two halves, which coincidentally is the name of one of the tracks mentioned. In the first half, I choose ten of my favourite "short story songs" - tracks which form a more or less complete narrative. To give you a flavour, I also read out some sample lyrics from each. Those songs (in chrono…

Where have all the protest songs gone? 21:03

5M ago21:03

21:03

"Why don't young people write protest songs any more? It's not like the 1960s when we cared about the world and weren't glued to a screen." You might have heard this argument. Protest songs are usually thought to have disappeared or at the very least dwindled in their power and influence. But is that true? A careful examination reveals a quite diff…

"Kraftwerk are more influential than The Beatles." But is that true? 20:05

6M ago20:05

20:05

Tim Sommer in LA Weekly sums up the debate: “It is not just that Kraftwerk invented the future of music; it is that a startling amount of the music you hear today, from the most obscure indie rock to the most mainstream pop to literally everything in between, bears the impression of their invention. Until the moment “Autobahn” hit the airwaves in t…

Is Spotify a force for good? 18:51

6M ago18:51

18:51

Spotify. All the music, all of the time. That's got to be a good thing, right? Not everyone agrees. In this episode, we'll take a look at: - Does Spotify pay artists fairly? - Does it provide access to bands that didn't exist before? - Has it encouraged disposability in music listening? - Has it created a musical echo chamber for listeners? - Has i…

Did Live Aid do more harm than good? 18:51

6M ago18:51

18:51

Back in 1985 Band Aid and Live Aid raised over 100 million pounds for famine relief in Ethiopia. Few question that it saved many thousands of lives. So, job done, case closed? The reality is more nuanced. In this episode we ask the questions: - What are the problems with the song "Do they know it's Christmas?" (the clue is in the title) - Where wer…

The Unique and Remarkable Legacy of The Kinks 13:22

What did The Kinks ever do for us? The Beatles invented pop music as we know it and The Stones were the bad boys. But, like a middle child in the family struggling to fill a role, where does that leave The Kinks? Arguably with the richest legacy of all. Go with us on the journey and start to discover that The Kinks might have an equal stake in inve…

Why do older people hate new music? 14:25

7M ago14:25

14:25

Comments under Youtube videos of songs from the 70s and 80s have a grim consistency. "Back when music was music" is the gist. But I can remember older people saying the same about those songs when they first came out. Why do many - not all - of us - come to be so distrustful of new music? Neophobes, if you like.

Walk down any high street in the world and you'll see someone wearing that t-shirt. The one with the wavy lines. Yet many people wearing it may never have listened to the album whose cover hosts the artwork. Cool design, but why does it resonate? And if you wear the t-shirt, should you bother listening to an album that's almost half a century old? …

Why are there so many female bands now? 14:53

50 years ago the NME ran a Best Albums Of All Time poll. There were 3 female artists on it and zero female-only bands.
