    "The Grunge Diaries: Seattle, 1990-1994"/Dave Thompson [Episode 21] Sep 06, 2021
    Show notes

    Throughout the 1990s, Dave Thompson was the Seattle-based contributing editor to Alternative Press magazine—America's biggest-selling and most influential alternative rock monthly—and a regular contributor to other publications both nationally and internationally.
    Throughout this decade, grunge music ruled the world and Seattle was its birthplace and focal point. Thompson was an eyewitness to it all. His writings and interviews chronicled the entire history of grunge—from its roots in the earliest explosion of punk in the mid-1970s to its rise and ultimate fall from grace in the late 1990s.
    Drawing from Thompson's extensive experience and research—from personal files and journals and hours of interviews with both musicians and fans, other music industry figures, and a wealth of characters from the Seattle scene—"The Grunge Diaries" is an exhaustive account of this unique era.
    Featured are all of the major acts—Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Mudhoney, Soundgarden—and many lesser known bands and artists. But it's not only about the music, the fashions, and the personalities that still resonate today. "The Grunge Diaries" also tells the tale of the end of an era in American history—twentieth-century music culture's last hurrah before the dot-com monsters (many of whom were themselves based in Seattle) devoured its soul and faceless corporations rebranded entertainment. These were the days when fame was still within reach of anyone who knew three chords and had three friends.
    Dave Thompson is the author of over 150 books, including co-written memoirs with New York Doll Sylvain Sylvain, Motown legends Brian and Eddie Holland, Hawkwind's Nik Turner, the Yardbirds' Jim McCarty, Fairport Convention's Judy Dyble, and more. He’s a columnist for Goldmine magazine, and his work has also appeared in Rolling Stone, Spin, Alternative Press, Mojo, Record Collector, and many other major publications. He has contributed to music documentaries produced by VH-1, A&E, the BBC, and others. Born in the UK, Thompson is now a resident of Delaware.

    "Peter Gabriel: Every Album, Every Song"/Graeme Scarfe [Episode 20] Sep 04, 2021
    Show notes

    If Genesis, according to British comedian and fan, Al Murray "were the progressive rock band who progressed", then Peter Gabriel, once solo, would be the one who progressed the most. Who would have thought listening to early Genesis would eventually take the listener to Senegal, Armenia, South Africa and beyond via the artistic endeavors of their former vocalist?
    This is a journey through Peter Gabriel's solo albums, his live recordings and soundtrack compositions. During his forty-year plus solo career, Gabriel has become a worldwide pop star with his early, self-titled albums and his seminal 1986 record 'So'. He’s had hit singles throughout his career, including "Big Time" and the poignant "In Your Eyes". He also helped pioneer video creativity with the song "Sledgehammer". In doing so, he’s reached beyond his progressive rock background to achieve a level of respect that other musicians from that genre could only dream about. You may have heard many of these songs before, but there's always something new to be found by digging in the dirt. This is the prefect guide to his music for new listeners and long term fans alike.
    Graeme Scarfe is a freelance writer. He was born in the 1960's, educated in the comprehensive system in the 1970's & 1980's and graduated from Bournemouth University in the 1990's. He’s worked as a music journalist, sound recordist, stand-up comedian and Film & Media lecturer. He wrote the original screenplay for the 1999 British Horror film "Lighthouse" and the comedy novels "Arable Farm" and "Seagulls on Speed". Grame is married with two children and lives in Sussex.

    "London, Reign Over Me: How England's Capital Built Classic Rock"/Stephen Tow [Episode 19] Aug 26, 2021
    Show notes

    It all started in London. More than fifty years ago, a generation of teens created something that would change the face of music forever.
    London, Reign Over Me immerses us in the backroom clubs, basement record shops, and late-night faint radio signals of 1960s Britain, where young hopefuls like Peter Frampton, Dave Davies, and Mick Jagger built off American blues and jazz to form a whole new sound. Author Stephen Tow weaves together original interviews with over ninety musicians and movers-and-shakers of the time to uncover the uniquely British story of classic rock’s birth.
    Capturing the stark contrast of bursting artistic energy with the blitzkrieg landscape leftover from World War II, London, Reign Over Me reveals why classic rock ‘n’ roll could only have been born in London. A new sound from a new generation, this music helped spark the most important cultural transformation of the twentieth century.
    Tow features interviews with a long list of artists including:
    •Jon Anderson, Rick Wakement & Steve Howe of (Yes)
    •Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull)
    •Rod Argent (The Zombies)
    •Dave Davies (The Kinks)
    •Spencer Davis (Spencer Davis Group)
    •Peter Frampton (Humble Pie, solo artist)
    •Roger Glover (Deep Purple)
    •Kenney Jones (The Small Faces; The Who)
    •Greg Lake (King Crimson; Emerson, Lake & Palmer)
    •Manfred Mann (Manfred Mann)
    •Dave Mason (Traffic)
    •John Mayall (The Bluesbreakers)
    •Ian McLagan of (The Small Faces)
    •Carl Palmer (Atomic Rooster; Emerson, Lake & Palmer)
    •Paul Rodgers (Free & Bad Company)
    Among many, many more...
    Stephen Tow teaches history at Delaware Valley University, specializing in rock n roll and twentieth-century America. He is the author of "The Strangest Tribe: How a Group of Seattle Rock Bands Invented Grunge" and resides near Philadelphia with his wife, daughter, and two dogs.

    "Take It Off: KISS Truly Unmasked"/Greg Prato [Episode 18] Aug 19, 2021
    Show notes

    There is a common misconception about KISS, one of the greatest hard-rock/heavy metal-bands of all-time: that their ‘non-makeup’ era of 1983-1996 is not as enduring as the period when they stalked stages as the Starchild, the Demon, the Spaceman, and the Cat. This is untrue. In fact, this period helped resuscitate KISS’s career, as they reestablished themselves in arenas, on the charts, and via MTV, and yielded some of their most popular songs – including "Lick It Up", "Heaven’s On Fire", "Tears Are Falling", "Crazy Crazy Nights", "Hide Your Heart", "Forever", "Unholy" and more – many of which consistently found their way into the band’s set lists.
    While the majority of KISS books are focused on the glitz and glamour of the iconic makeup era, the non-makeup years are ripe to be explored in book form, and "Take It Off" does just that, zeroing in on the eleven albums KISS issued during this period – including such gold- and platinum-certified hits as 'Lick It Up', 'Animalize', 'Revenge', and 'Alive III' – as well the resulting tours, videos, and other escapades.
    "Take It Off" draws on all-new interviews with KISS experts and associates, including the band’s lead guitarist throughout most of this period, Bruce Kulick, plus 'Crazy Nights' producer Ron Nevison and video director Paul Rachman ("Unholy" / "I Just Wanna" / "Domino"). Among the other contributors are Charlie Benante (Anthrax), K.K. Downing (ex-Judas Priest), Derek Sherinian (ex-Dream Theater), and rock music experts Eddie Trunk, Katherine Turman, and Lonn Friend. The book also includes a foreword by Fozzy frontman Chris Jericho and an afterword by acclaimed producer Andreas Carlsson, as well as rare photographs and memorabilia from the period.
    Greg Prato is a writer and journalist from Long Island, New York, whose writing has appeared in such renowned publications as Rolling Stone, Classic Rock, and Vintage Guitar. He is also the author of several popular books, including "Shredders! The Oral History Of Speed Guitar (And More)", "Grunge Is Dead: The Oral History Of Seattle Rock Music", and "The Eric Carr Story". And you may even have heard him on one of his many radio or TV appearances, which include interviews on The Howard Stern Wrap-Up Show, Eddie Trunk Live, and The Ron & Fez Show.
    PROGRAMMING NOTE: This interview with Greg was originally recorded in February of 2020 for the podcast DISCovery with Eric Senich.

    "Tom Petty: Every Album, Every Song"/Richard James [Episode 17] Aug 12, 2021
    Show notes

    At the Hollywood Bowl, California on September 25th 2017 the final song of the final concert of the Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers 40th Anniversary tour was, almost inevitably, "American Girl", the classic from the bands 1976 debut album. Seven days later Thomas Earl Petty was dead. When Petty died, we lost one of the great singer-songwriters of our era. His songs touch people of all ages and possess a timeless quality which will ensure they will live on for years to come. Petty’s music speaks of freedom and rebellion, of doing what you want to do, of not compromising your integrity, and, fundamentally, of speaking the truth.
    Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers evolved from a fledgling rock’n’roll band from Gainesville, Florida into becoming an American music institution, being incorporated into the Hollywood Rock ’n’ Roll Hall Of Fame in March 2002. Most people have heard the big hits; "Free Fallin'", "Refugee", among others. But there is so much more to enjoy in Petty’s extensive back catalogue. "Tom Petty Every Album, Every Song" delves into every aspect of Petty’s 40-year recording career album by album and song by song to uncover the extraordinary consistency and quality of this much missed musician.
    Richard James immersed himself in music as soon as he got his first real six string at the age of ten. Previously chained to a desk for a living, he managed to escape and, armed with a music degree from the Open University and a Licentiate Diploma in Classical Guitar from the Royal School of Music, he now roams the East Midlands as a freelance guitarist and music teacher. He lives with his wife in Leicestershire. His first book was UFO – on track, also published by Sonicbond.

    "Beggars Banquet and the Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Revolution"/Russell Reising [Episode 15] Jul 31, 2021
    Show notes

    The Rolling Stones’ Beggars Banquet from 1968 is one of the seminal albums in rock history. Arguably it not only marks the advent of the ‘mature’ sound of the Rolling Stones but lays out a new blueprint for an approach to blues-based rock music that would endure for several decades.
    From its title to the dark themes that pervade some of its songs, "Beggars Banquet" reflected and helped define a moment marked by violence, decay, and upheaval. It marked a move away from the artistic sonic flourishes of psychedelic rock towards an embrace of foundational streams of American music – blues, country – that had always underpinned the music of the Stones but assumed new primacy in their music after 1968. This move coincided with, and anticipated, the ‘roots’ moves that many leading popular music artists made as the 1960s turned toward a new decade; but unlike many of their peers whose music grew more ‘soft’ and subdued as they embraced traditional styles, the music and attitude of the Stones only grew harder and more menacing, and their status as representatives of the dark underside of the 60s rock counterculture assumed new solidity. For the Rolling Stones, the 1960s ended and the 1970s began with the release of this album in 1968.
    "Beggars Banquet and the Rolling Stones’ Rock & Roll Revolution: They Call My Name Disturbance" was released in hardcover and kindle through Routledge in December of 2019. On August 2nd, Routledge will release the book in paperback through routledge dot com.
    Editor Russell Reising is Professor of American Literature and Asian Studies at University of Toledo, has published widely on topics in American literature, literary criticism, popular music, and psychedelia, and he edited “Every Sound There Is”: The Beatles’ Revolver and the Transformation of Rock and and “Speak to Me”: The Legacy of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, both from Ashgate.

    "Two Steps Forward, One Stop Back: My Life In The Music Business"/Miles Copeland [Episode 14] Jul 24, 2021
    Show notes

    "Two Steps Forward, One Step Back" tells the extraordinary story of a maverick manager, promoter, label owner, and all-round legend of the music industry. It opens in the Middle East, where Miles grew up with his father, a CIA agent who was stationed in Syria, Egypt, and Lebanon. It then shifts to London in the late 60s and the beginnings of a career managing bands like Wishbone Ash and Curved Air—only for Miles’s life and work to be turned upside down by a disastrous European tour.
    From the ashes of near bankruptcy, Miles entered the world of punk, sharing a building with Malcolm McLaren and Sniffin’ Glue, before shifting gears again as manager of The Police, featuring his brother, Stewart, on drums. Then, after founding IRS Records, he launched the careers of some of the most potent musical acts of the new wave scene and beyond, from Squeeze and The Go-Go’s to The Bangles and R.E.M.
    The story comes full circle as Miles finds himself advising the Pentagon on how to win over hearts and minds in the Middle East and introducing Arabic music to the United States. ‘Never let the truth get in the way of a good story,’ his father would tell him. In the end, though, the truth is what counts—and it’s all here.
