Episode 12: The Jeremy Wall Phenomenon (June 21st 2018)
FIVE SIZZLING HOT TRACKS FROM 1976!
We discuss interpersonal band dynamics and how to fire your sulky lead guitarist; we take a look at the complete madness of the UK singles chart through the 70’s and 80’s and we suggest that a guaranteed number one hit these days would be The Floral Song Grime Rap by Drake feat. Tobermory; we wonder how many Trump staffers would have been shown the White House door in the span of time Wet Wet Wet held the number one spot with their bland cover versions; and swarms of flying ants dominate early memories from our childhoods in the tarmac-melting heatwave of 1976.
The artists/bands rated and/or discussed are ABBA, Be-Bop Deluxe, Fleetwood Mac, and Todd Rundgren, with mentions of The Reynolds Girls (in Deciphering the Lyrics); The Demis Roussos Phenomenon; Manuel & The Music of the Mountains; Prince; and John Lennon and Elephant’s Memory.
