    Ep.10 - DOUGLAS DARE

    Those who know Douglas Dare will already love his haunting, catchy and thought-provoking piano-led electronica. Those who don't: you're missing out on one of the best songwriters at work today. Tim chats to his old touring companion about new album Milk Teeth, the power of a "simple" melody, rude words on tea mugs and the pitfalls of trying to be commercial on purpose. Here's a Spotify playlist of some of Douglas's music, plus some other songs we discuss https://open.spotify.com/playlist/43mzv3FwkKyX1nqm3M30AP?si=ZRQ4KOkSQa2Ad2XpZ6gjdQ Original GC logo by Dawn Kelly

    Ep.9 - TIM PALMER

    For this episode, Chris and Tim sat down with a proper rock legend: Tim Palmer. Producer of albums for acts as fearsome as Ozzy Osbourne, HIM, Robert Plant, The Mission and Tin Machine, but also as subtle and catchy as Texas, Tears For Fears and The Psychedelic Furs, Tim has done it all: from engineering Dead Or Alive, to mixing tracks for U2 and also Pearl Jam's classic debut, Ten. He also co-produced Tin Machine. Did we mention Tin Machine already? He did Tin Machine. Here's a Spotify playlist of some of Tim's best work https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2zjrEutoEj0fL51uFaWXo1?si=LvpiQgu4S9ij2sA-TyyFtA Thanks to Caitlin Palmer. Original GC logo by Dawn Kelly.

    Ep.8 - MAXÏMO PARK

    “You’ve got to believe in the power of a pop song.” Tim speaks to Newcastle upon Tyne's finest purveyors of compelling, caustic, romantic, rocking, passionate and peerless power-pop...

Here's a playlist of some of Maxïmo Park's best tunes to date, plus some other songs we discuss. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2XLY3Kc8gOHc4X9jTYiMJt?si=mn9iKsZOQdWY_uUeQB4Lzw Thanks to Alfie Hallam.

    Ep.7 - STEPHEN STREET

    “It’s not about how you twiddle the knobs and plug things in, it’s how you relate to people.” Stephen Street is one of those producers who seemingly can’t avoid making kickass albums with seminal bands. The Smiths, Blur, The Cranberries, Sleeper, Shed Seven, Kaiser Chiefs, Babyshambles - the list stretches off into the distance. How has he done it? In this episode, we find out. Here's a link to a Spotify playlist of our favourite Stephen Street tracks, and others we discuss: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6ZerfnrQBndsJBr4Jq9cFg?si=5B9BQTsnQfum7F4qXiWWBg Thanks to Sam Rudy.

    Ep.6 - DAVE ERINGA

    “There was me, clueless metalhead in a Kiss T-shirt, in amongst all these cool London people, and I think the Manics just recognised another outsider.” For our first show of 2020, Chris speaks to Dave Eringa, a producer whose humour, vitality and passion has given him long associations with Idlewild, Roger Daltrey and - perhaps his most successful partnership - Manic Street Preachers. In one of our most entertaining episodes, Dave discusses how he got started, how he kept going, working with Kylie, and why it’s (occasionally) okay to do a freebie. Here's a Spotify playlist of some of Dave's rock'n'roll gifts to the world: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5L12sPn9TLEaJ9T6TZTXYz?si=ZGuGiJsISdupp9wTqeSl0g Original GC logo by Dawn Kelly.
