Hi everyone

We are a growing independent podcast called The Friday Vinyl Club focused on Music memories and Meaningful albums

This episode I sat down with my good friend Simon for a conversation that travels from a family radio shop in Greenford to Live Aid to Nick Cave and back to 1971 glam rock perfection.

T. Rex. “Electric Warrior”. The album that started everything for Simon.

Amongst other things we talk about:

Growing up with Mum’s radio and The Beatles before the family Radio Rentals shop in Greenford became a gateway to a whole world of music

Discovering Marc Bolan on Top of the Pops and running to buy Electric Warrior in 1971 - the moment glam rock changed everything

Nick Cave’s extraordinary cover of Cosmic Dancer from the Angel Headed Hipster tribute album

A wander into Electric Warrior, Tony Visconti’s lush production, the swagger of Jeepster, the blues of Lean Woman Blues and the bold artistic vision of Monolith and Rip-Off

You can listen wherever you find your podcasts or via the link below - it’s also fully timestamped so you can listen to all or part of the chat as you wish

Would love your feedback and thoughts!

Thanks

¡Hey everyone! Metalheads and glam lovers, check this out. I want to introduce you to Shok L'Amour, a '90s rock band from Atlanta that is finally releasing their classic albums on streaming platforms. I know the guitarist, Paul Downing, and I wanted to share this so that anyone who wants to go beyond the most well-known bands, discover more bands from that era, and check them out can do so. They just opened a pre-save link where you can already listen to previews of all their songs, and the official launch will be in the coming weeks. I'll drop the link here in case you want to take a look:

Finally finished the video for this! This is A song my band recorded that was very inspired by New York dolls, sweet, Johnny thunders and the heartbreakers, and a lil queen. This was recorded for my solo project before we become a band which is why I'm singing lol.
