Show Notes

Spinning sides at the conversational disco to see what fills the dancefloor, which this week includes …

 

… Jerry Garcia had seven fingers! Brian Jones had seven children! Morrissey worked for the Inland Revenue!

 

… the most terrifying villain in the history of cinema  

 

... is pop music becoming inbred?

 

… when Neil Sedaka made records with 10cc (and Abba)

 

… Happy? Get Lucky? Crazy In Love? What was the last hit single the whole world seemed to be singing?

 

… Noddy Holder, Kim Wilde, Robert Wyatt, Gary Numan: what makes you a National Treasure?

 

… rock and roll puns and double-entendres

 

… “drawn from the national conversation”: the divine Englishness of the Pet Shop Boys

 

… the Gilded Palace of Sin, In The Court of the Crimson King and other records we bought because of the title

 

… and acts wiped out by the Beatles “like corn before the sickle”.
