    Episode 98 - David J (Bauhaus, Love and Rockets, Solo Artist)

    "Lived Through That” is the companion podcast to my book where I look at influential musicians of the 80s and 90s and where they are today. On this podcast, we’ll delve deeper into a single pivotal moment in the lives of some of the artists I feature in that book, as well as other artists I love and admire. The stories they tell are open, honest, and inspiring. Today’s guest is a true original—a musician, poet, and creative force whose work helped shape the sound and spirit of post-punk. As a member of Bauhaus, David J brought a distinctive voice and artistic vision to a band that would go on to influence generations. Beyond Bauhaus, his career spans Love and Rockets, solo projects, spoken word, and collaborations that blur the lines between music, art, and storytelling. His work is always pushing boundaries while staying unmistakably his own. Today, David tells us about how this whole journey started for him.

    Episode 96 - Belouis Some

    "Lived Through That” is the companion podcast to my book where I look at influential musicians of the 80s and 90s and where they are today. On this podcast, we’ll delve deeper into a single pivotal moment in the lives of some of the artists I feature in that book, as well as other artists I love and admire. The stories they tell are open, honest, and inspiring. This week, we’ve got Belouis Some on the show. He was one of the more distinctive voices to emerge from the British new wave scene of the 1980s and had worldwide hits with "Some People," "Imagination," and "Round, Round,” the last of which found an entirely new audience when it landed on the soundtrack of John Hughes' Pretty in Pink.  Along the way he worked with some remarkable collaborators — including Bernard Edwards and Tony Thompson from Chic  and guitarist Carlos Alomar, the man who had helped shape David Bowie's mid-70s sound. After more than thirty years away from the headline stage, he returned to London's O2 Academy Islington in November 2024 for a sold-out show, followed by a US tour in 2025. Today, he tells us about how a change of scenery from London to New York City helped craft his breakthrough song, Imagination, and his post-music career in nightclubs and adult film business.
