33 & A Nerd #10: 'Morrissey's Uncle Killed My Arsenal'

This episode is the first "in a room" podcast we've done for a while with Mr Sqwubsy, Adrian Specs and Vorgongod on a lazy post-pub Sunday afternoon in North London. Our topic was Morrissey's 'Kill Uncle' and 'Your Arsenal' albums, the latter of which has just been reissued but as usual we freewheeled everywhere.

- What's the best Morrissey B-side?
- Was 'Your Arsenal' the template used from then til now?
- Which John Deacon played on the album?
- The whole NME / Madstock debacle from an eyewitness POV.

Morrissey's Wolverhampton Civic Hall 1988 debut solo gig where you had to wear a Moz or Smiths T-shirt to gain entry suddenly appeared online last year. Watch it!
 

One of the few points raised by DogFacedBoy during the podcast was the memory of a picture of Morrissey with a cat on his head. Here is the proof.

The original 'I Was Morrissey's Roadie' article is behind Murdoch's paywall at The Times but here is a little flavour of it here

 

You can find the NME's 1992 'This Alarming Man' piece at the stunning Morrissey Scans tumblr here


 

Here is the photo from Time Out magazine with Moz wearing the T-shirt that Mr Sqwubsy gave him at Hook End Studios during the album sessions.

'Your Arsenal (Definitive Master)' reissue is available now on CD (with bonus live at Shoreline Ampitheatre, 1991 DVD) and heavyweight gatefold vinyl

Are they still talking about the Beatles? - Yes we are!

Amongst the subjects covered include

- When did the Beatles "industry" begin?

Thanks again to Ola, Blue Paul and DrJ for the most enjoyable and satisfying podcast for me so far. I hope you enjoy it too.

33 & A Nerd #8 : The Bloody Beatles Vol.1 (or "The Red Podcast")

You think that everything to say about the Beatles has been said? Well you maybe right right but that hasn't stopped an international panel of Beatles nerds from having a go.

• Why are we still obsessed with the band 50 years on?
• Have they ruined music for everyone since?
• Why are they more popular now than they were during thier lifetime?
• How many people and dogs were living in Sweden in 1963?

this and other conundrums are mused over in the next 45 minutes or so

Sky Arts On Demand has the David Quantick penned drama Snodgrass 
to view. Despite my nitpicking it is a nice litlle curio with another excellent Lennon from Ian Hart.

33 & A Nerd #6: Billy Joel In Dublin

For reasons lost in the mists of late night Twitter chat, my pal Hannah & I went to Dublin, Ireland to see Billy Joel at the O2 Centre despite him being readily available in nearby London, England a few days later. We had a massively enjoyable time so listen to us chat about it with Dubliner Doctor J. We couldn't do the podcast in Dublin at the time due to the massive amount of fun on offer so here were are connected my the miracles of technology

Our 2nd multi city gig review will be with you before the eyar is out!

And in 2014 regular podcast activity will commence with military precision. No honest.
