| Interview: Will Rigby of the dB's | 26 oct. 2024 | 00:33:03 | |
On this episode, Will chats with Will Rigby, drummer and founding member of The dB's. While The dB's are credited with influencing the sound of others that came later in the decade, the band did not have the commercial success it deserved. Their path to greater exposure was likely hampered by the limited releases of their first two albums. In the 1980s, "Stands for Decibels" and "Repercussion" were only released on vinyl by the UK label Albion. Music lovers would have to find their record in a store that imported EPs or be among the few fortunate enough to hear them on an independent radio station. Fortunately, both of those albums have now been on vinyl for the first time US. Thanks to Propeller Sound Recordings, both remastered discs are available now. Visit thedbs.com to get yours.

| Interview: Jonathan Betuel | A "Last Starfighter" Sequel? | 07 juin 2024 | 00:45:45 | |
Beginning in 2015, fans of 1984's "The Last Starfighter" were thrilled when a potential sequel was teased. That excitement was buoyed when “Rogue One” scribe Gary Whitta announced he was working with Jon on the project—and ultimately released concept art for the film in 2021. Sadly, however, those hopes were dashed in September 2022, when Whitta responded to a fan on Twitter, writing, “To be honest there's a decent chance it never happens.” And since then, there have been no updates. On this episode, Will chats with Jonathan Betuel, the writer of "The Last Starfighter," about the origins of the film, his experience with arcade games, and whether a potential sequel is still in the works. 00:00 - Introduction 06:05 - Interview: Jonathan Betuel 42:25 - Wrap-Up Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@1980snow Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/1980snow.
