  • Summary

  • 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.
