We dipped the shrimping net of curiosity in the rock and roll rockpool this week and transferred the following items to the podcast bucket …

… who now regrets being the “little tyrant” that broke up their band 30 years ago?

… who was the real Bungalow Bill and how did the song about him change his life?

… Bing Crosby and Paul Whiteman are almost forgotten. Are the Doors and the Kinks heading the same way?

… the unique and extraordinary Bill Wyman, “more a witness to the Rolling Stones than a member”, plus Nellcôte and the Birds’ Custard.

… is the ice finally melting in the Talking Heads camp?

… an everyday tale of Culture’s “Two Sevens Clash” on the mean streets of North London’s garden suburbs.  

… was Lennon v the Maharishi an early example of “career cancelling”?

… is Life During Wartime from Stop Making Sense the greatest live performance ever filmed?

… the curse of the Budokan.

… and birthday guests Avi Chaudhuri and Jelltex (who strongly recommends The Mood Elevator's second album, Married Alive).
