026 – Lifesavers Underground – Shaded Pain - Part 2 – Cut by the Body… Forced to Run and Hide

Season 2 · Episode 26

Saturday, February 3, 2024 • Duration 01:23:24

In this episode, Tegwen, Mark and I continue our discussion with Side B of the post-punk gothic masterpiece, Shaded Pain by the Lifesavers Underground. If you haven’t listened to the first half of this chat, be sure to stop right now and go listen to Episode 025 - Lifesavers Underground - Shaded Pain - Part 1 first and then come back to finish up here. If you’ve never heard of Lifesavers Underground (L.S.U) but like Bahaus, Peter Murphy, The Mission UK and bands of that ilk, you should definitely check them out. Thanks so much for joining us!

Tegwen’s Post Punk Checklist:

-Drony vocals

-Screechy feedback guitars, not played for precision ,

-Played for vibes, strummed repetitive guitars

-Sick baseline, but not necessarily noticed, yet still drives the song- energetic

-Allows you to dance to it

-Mix of drum machine, tinny echoey sound, slightly erratic live drums

-Creating a Phil Spectory wall of sound

-Very produced but not polished- lots of effects on 11 with echo/ reverb

Season 2 · Episode 22

Wednesday, November 1, 2023 • Duration 01:44:37

In this episode I chat with Jim Anderson who creates post-punk synthscapes with ascending sonic guitar fuzz under the project name of AIRDALE. We had a fantastic conversation about his post-punk musical influences, his high school band The Mourning, his current project AIRDALE and our favorite releases by The Church. I really had a blast getting to know Jim who is a man after my own post-punk heart. We also hear some full selections from Jim's body of work so if you love The Cure, New Order, The Church and a slew of other post-punk/new wave bands from the 80’s you will dig the music of AIRDALE as much as I do. Thanks for joining us! All songs and song clips are used with the permission of Jim Anderson - aka AIRDALE.

021 - "What is Post-punk?" Follow-up - Why Talking Heads, Television, Ultravox and XTC lost out to Magazine

Season 2 · Episode 21

Tuesday, October 17, 2023 • Duration 39:37

In this episode, I do a follow-up to Episode 005 - What is Post-punk and welcome to the Post-punk Heartstrings State of Mind– In that episode, I gave my own personal definition of post-punk and offered my pick for the first post-punk album released. After the episode, I received the following feedback from a listener: “Enjoyed this episode! I'd have been interested in more explication on what are the hallmarks of post-punk and why Television, Talking Heads, etc. were not counted. What exactly were the classic rock sounds you heard to keep them from being counted as a true post-punk album.” So, I decided to do a follow-up episode to explain a little more and provide some examples of why I excluded some of the releases the listener mentioned.

Artists/albums covered are:

Television – Marquee Moon – 1977

Taking Heads – Talking Heads – 1977

Ultravox – Ha! Ha! Ha! – 1977

White Music – XTC – 1978

Magazine – Real Life – 1978
