Eoghan Lyng talks about the soulful pop sounds of Paul Carrack

Season 2 · Episode 10

Monday, July 10, 2023 • Duration 57:48

The multi-faceted and multi-talented Paul Carrack is synonymous with musical craftsmanship. Author and music journalist Eoghan Lyng taps into the appeal of Carrack and why his style and collaboration are coveted by artists as diverse as Eric Clapton, Roger Waters, Roxy Music, and The Eagles. We also discuss Carrack’s work with Mike + The Mechanics, his multiple (!) tenure with Squeeze, and how his trademark vocals and keyboard work on “Tempted” gave the band one of its most popular and recognizable hits. Lyng also chats about his interviews with Carrack and Glenn Tilbrook, both conducted for the online site Penny Black:

Dan Rivkin on the many 'eras' of Glenn Tilbrook's hair

Season 2 · Episode 9

Tuesday, June 6, 2023 • Duration 01:22:08

And now for something completely different… friend of the podcast Dan Rivkin waxes philosophically (and with great humor) on the myriad touchpoints that are reflected by Glenn and his hair. While not altogether serious, it’s a fascinating visual: whether as a teenager, in his 20s with Squeeze, as a solo artist roaming the world and into the 21st century, his altogether unique style and deportment when it concerns personal presentation - and this includes his fellow bandmates! - is one subject that Dan and myself felt needed at least, a podcast-length deep-dive discussion.

Book Review: Miles A. Copeland III: Two Steps Forward, One Step Back

Season 1 · Episode 7

Tuesday, September 6, 2022 • Duration 27:48

The name Miles Copeland elicits many reactions in the music industry. Even more so when he is associated with Squeeze. In this episode, I speak to the many sides of Miles in his managerial relationship with the band, his personal doings with Jools Holland and overall how from the perspective of someone who has been on the rebellious side of music for almost 50 years, why the reader can appreciate his unique sense of humor, his business acumen and let's face it, his legendary reputation!

Conversation: Author James Griffiths - 'The Pop Music Played'

Season 1 · Episode 6

Friday, May 20, 2022 • Duration 01:36:24

Many columns of type have been spread across the decades in the music press when it comes to Squeeze. However, very few books on the band have been published. Taking into account the crucial formative years in the global public eye, music journalist James Griffiths has penned 'The Pop Music Played,' a detailed deep-dive into the years 1978-1982. This time period - considered 'classic' by Squeeze fans - has rarely been chronicled as much as Griffiths has put to print in book form. In this podcast, he talks about not only his book but how how and where his musical inclinations started, how the band grew from small town pub group to Madison Square Garden headliners, all with a good-natured interplay from someone who has given us more to love (and read) about Squeeze. James' book can be purchased on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Squeeze-Music-Played-Story-1978-1982/dp/1739957407 and brick-and-mortar stores wherever good books are sold.

Conversation: Dan Rivkin and 'Cosi Fan Tutti Frutti'

Season 1 · Episode 5

Sunday, January 30, 2022 • Duration 01:32:48

Few releases in Squeeze history generate as much commentary as 'Cosi Fan Tutti Frutti.' While 1985 saw the band reform with original keyboard player Jools Holland and introduced bassist Keith Wilkinson, this album has had its share of criticisms (from its 'sound' of the period) to praises (the songs!). Dan Rivkin weighs in with his enthusiastic and insightful observations on why this release needs to be revisited from a 2022 perspective and how we can help Squeeze fans appreciate the word 'synthesizer.'

Dan is the curator of They May Be Parted, a weblog dedicated to an understanding, deep dive of The Beatles 'Get Back/Let It Be' sessions in January 1969.

Conversation: Tom Skierka and the odyssey of Squeeze bassists

Season 1 · Episode 4

Tuesday, December 28, 2021 • Duration 01:10:46

What about that band member who holds a group together with their solid rumblings? Tom and I discuss in 'a round and a bout' way the history of players who have filled the bass role in Squeeze. From Harri Kakoulli to Owen Biddle, we offer up a lively exploration on where each one has fit in, review their unique styles and... theorize on possible 'dream' bassists that could have been!

Conversation: Kit O'Toole and 'Singles - 45's and Under'

Season 1 · Episode 3

Friday, November 19, 2021 • Duration 01:28:36

The iconic Squeeze album ‘Singles - 45s and Under’ - gets the Cool For Cats treatment, as I welcome Dr. Kit O’Toole for a hearty discussion on this fan fave. While this release came out in 1982 and covered only a 4-year span, for anyone who wants to get their feet wet in the discovery of the band’s ‘greatest hits,’ this album is for you. Kit and I jump into how and when she discovered this release, make our case with a track-by-track analysis, delve into the often overused comparison to Lennon-McCartney and find that while these songs represent only a fractional timespan in Squeeze history, it’s a conversation that is timely and timeless for anyone who considers themselves a dedicated follower of Squeeze. Kit is a co-host for ‘Talk More Talk: A Solo Beatles Videocast’ on Facebook and at talkmoretalk.com and her most recent book is co-authored with Ken Womack ‘Fandom and The Beatles: The Act You’ve Known For All These Years.’ --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Interview - Amy Pickard, Director 'Glenn Tilbrook: One For The Road'

Season 1 · Episode 2

Tuesday, November 2, 2021 • Duration 51:48

Welcome to the first of many conversations about Squeeze. In this debut episode, I'm joined by 'rockumentary' filmmaker Amy Pickard. Back in 2001, she put pedal to the metal and hit the highways and byways of America, traveling in an RV with Glenn Tilbrook in one of his many (but certainly not last) solo tours. What followed was a journey not entirely expected and as we discover, this film chronicled not only Glenn's performances but his interaction with fans, his recollections of his days with Squeeze and where he stood in life back in that time. Pickard captured all this and more and in this talk, she also reveals how she started in the music business and her continuing adventures with Squeeze.
