    Track By Track Meets... Ian Wade (1984: The Year Pop Went Queer)

    Track By Track Meets... Ian Wade (1984: The Year Pop Went Queer)

    We've enjoyed Ian Wade's music musings for many years now, so we were thrilled when he announced his debut book, 1984: The Year Pop Went Queer. On our first bookish episode we're joined by Ian to discuss the book, 1984 (not the novel), and some of the key artists and tracks featured in the book and mammoth playlist that accompanies it.

    Further Listening: Duran Duran

    Ahead of them headlining Latitude, we're sharing ten of our favourite Duran Duran deep cuts on the latest episode of Further Listening. It's unlikely any of these gems will make the setlist, but we're sure you're going to love them... Maybe you already do?
    As always do let us know your thoughts @trackbytrackuk or via good old email: hellotrackbytrack@gmail.com

    Sparks - No. 1 In Heaven

    In our second new episode this week we’re talking about our favourite male pop duo (who are brothers), SPARKS! This time we’re diving in to their 1979 record, ‘No. 1 in Heaven’ a collaboration for the ages with Giorgio Moroder. If you haven't heard their work before join us to find out why we think they're one of the greats, with a lifetime spanning career, and still going strong now. Also a great episode to check out if you're a fan of Noël...
    Our first Sparks episode, Gratuitous Sax & Senseless Violins, is definitely worth your time and available over on our Patreon archive, Team Track By Track, for just £3 a month (or however long it takes you to get through 80+ exclusive episodes).

    Prince and The Revolution - Purple Rain

    FINALLY, after being asked to feature Prince on the podcast for SO long, we're going track by track through one of his albums - and what an album! Purple Rain is one of those that appears on every 'best album ever' list, and was at #4 on Apple Music's recent Top 100 Albums.
    So join us as we discuss the album, some iconic singles, stunningly-titled b-sides and demos, the film, the stories from behind the scenes, and much more.
    Do let us know your thoughts on the album and the episode on the socials (@trackbytrackuk) or email us at hellotrackbytrack@gmail.com.

    Kylie Minogue - Let's Get To It

    We're headed way back in this episode to early in Kylie's career and discussing Let's Get To It.

There is much to enjoy and reminisce about, so join us and let us know your memories @trackbytrackuk & hellotrackbytrack@gmail.com

    Further Listening: Blondie

    Further Listening: Blondie

    It's Glastonbury week, which means this time last year we were counting down the days until Blondie took to the Pyramid Stage for the first time in 24 years. But on this episode we're celebrating 10 deep cuts that didn't fill the setlist.
    Let us know your thoughts on the band and our choices on the socials @trackbytrackuk

Always a delight

As a Brit expat in the US I’m naturally a bit out of sync with what’s going on back home. This pod has introduced me to many bands I’d have otherwise probably not come across like Everything Everything. Also good to hear another set of ears on some of existing favorite bands like Duran Duran and New Order. Keep up the good work! Carry On Podcasting indeed

I Am Mr.Awesome ,

Ima just ask

Is this the same dan bull that made the rap “the arch-illager”? It’s my favorite song and he is one of my favorite artists. How does he rap that fast!? Bro does anyone see or read these? No one has responded.

nothing but bangers ,

Lovely lovely

I got wind of this cast from Neil tenant’s post and haven’t looked back- got stuck in so to speak- have spent many a happy quarantine hour dog walking with headphones strapped on and a smile- nothing to take for granted these days. Thanks Dan and Will and keep up the great work in 2021!!
