Big Audio Dynamite
Big Audio Dynamite was a band formed from the slowly drifting ashes of The Clash. The Clash would last a little longer, but would never be the same. Co-founder Mick Jones had just been kicked out of The Clash for wanting to move the punk pioneers in new directions and into new sounds. Less than a year later, Jones quickly regrouped with Big Audio Dynamite. Big Audio Dynamite was confrontational like The Clash, but in a different way—exploring new directions like melding dance with rock and liberally sampling sounds and movie clips as part of the band’s palette.

Punk, Rockabilly, and Pearl Harbour
Pearl Harbour has quite a musical legacy. As
part of the 70’s San Francisco rock scene she sang background vocals for the Tubes. She formed her own band Pearl Harbour and the Explosions, released an
album, and toured with the Talking Heads. She moved to London and became part of a new scene and became connected with The Clash, eventually marrying Clash
bassist Paul Simonon, touring with them and joining The Clash on stage many times.

Concert Shirts and the Ones That Got Away
On this episode I talk about My Favorite Concert Shirts and the Ones That Got Away. Over the years I amassed quite a collection of concert shirts, at quite an expense. I then gave them away in one fell swoop to a pair of identical twin teens who probably hadn’t heard of half the bands. I was wearing concert t-shirts before they were even born!

Depeche Mode Black Celebration
With their sixth studio album, "Black Celebration," Depeche Mode embarked on an artistic exploration that delved deeper into the shadows of human existence. Released in 1986, Black Celebration represents a pivotal moment in Depeche Mode's career, marking a departure from their earlier synthpop sound and paving the way for a more mature and brooding sonic landscape.
