Hahaha... A quick reminder of our latest episode by the way. Featuring the irrepressible Thread-Head @allthatchas.bsky.social

Excellent episode! I now have to visit Sheffield…

Today’s Eno-fest is starting to wind down, but I had to play this one. 3 of 3 with #Eno as producer. Eno and Byrne have #Fela as explicit inspiration and it really comes through. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

The new addition to the Metal Cavern has arrived! Huge thanks to @pankp007.bsky.social & @davenuclear.bsky.social for allowing me to contribute to their fantastic podcast. If you haven’t checked @bangpodcast.bsky.social what are you waiting for?! The nuclear blast of the 1980s can’t wait forever!

The #SystemofaDown pre-sale has been shocking. Unless you wanna pay VIP rates.

Billy Idol AND the Eurythmics! Hard to go past that on this episode alone! But then the discussion on "Threads". I haven't seen this since it aired in the 1980's in Australia on Channel 9. But it is still burned into my conscious. Great movie and loved the discussion with Chas. Cheers Pank & Dave!

A fine and sincere episode about Miranda Richardson's heroic performance.

Thanks to the @bangpodcast.bsky.social podcast for this absolutely weapons-grade tea towel. Washing up will never be the same again. You can catch my episode with the guys wherever you get your pods. I chat about Threads and The Dubliners!

Inspired by the Bang! gents to give this one a spin tonight. My original copy purchased May 4, 1995. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

Yes, John. @allthatchas.bsky.social had that effect on us too. Thank you.

Look at this playlist. 77 bangers. Every genre. Every tempo. Every mood. But all under one big cloud.... Save it. open.spotify.com/playlist/0vL...

And here's the Apple link to Episode 15 with special guest @allthatchas.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

I went on the brilliant @bangpodcast.bsky.social to talk about Threads, my trip to Sheffield to find Threads locations, and The Dubliners! Available wherever you get your pods!

Episode 15 is out! Our v. special guest is author, journalist & "Threads" obsessive Chas Newkey-Burden who discusses this horrifying film. 5 fab tunes too, from Modern English, Billy Idol, Microdisney, Eurythmics & The Dubliners. Join us & @allthatchas.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/2UpI...

Stephen Luscombe has passed away. We loved Blancmange. A unique 80s sound and his contribution to Asian fusion music was great... Very sad news. This was a great cover. open.spotify.com/track/1jYcKs...

On holiday in #Sardinia. The most spectacular thunderstorm hit us last night. I didn't take this as a shot but cut it as a still from a short video. No filter or special effect added. The sky went Bang!

A few more pics. Wet Leg was amazing.

My holiday reading has been this. Every page has an "oh really?" moment. Little moments in songs we thought we knew inside out are beautifully revealed. #TrevorHorn has produced another gem here.

It's a good un! Give both debut episodes some eartime.

I love this song so much. RIP Rick Davies you wonderful musician and writer. #Supertramp open.spotify.com/track/67oyFn...

Hello! Do any of my friends have a press/management or similar contact for Nena (of 99 Red Balloons fame)?

Thanks to Pank and Dave at @bangpodcast.bsky.social for their thoughtful gift, ensuring that any drying-up of dishes will now go with a bang ...

A lovely wee package arrived for me from the boys at @bangpodcast.bsky.social !! If you haven't already, get them in your ears. Cheers!

We love sending lovely wee packages to our special contributors.

Oh wow! Our Season 1 Episode 1. One of our absolute favourites... We love #TheFixx. Thank you @cheray.bsky.social.

And here's the new playlist on Apple... music.apple.com/gb/playlist/...

We've now compiled 3 playlists for your listening pleasure. The main one, with our 5 songs from each episode; the heavy metal one with our top 20 from episode 12 and a brand new one to go with the newly released episode 14. Lots of tunes from around the world. open.spotify.com/playlist/43Q...

I had no idea about any of these bands, but once again, the guys at @bangpodcast.bsky.social brought it all to us with their usual enthusiasm and love of music which had me searching for these bands and songs far and wide.

Thanks to the guys at @bangpodcast.bsky.social Very much enjoyed contributing. Worth a listen. The podcast obvs, not me!

It's finally here! With 7 amazing guests and several months of hard work this is absolutely not how podcasts are usually made. I think that once you listen you'll agree with me that it's something quite special. The opening episode is so jam packed it had to be split in two! Bio.link/thesoundof

Shout outs to @indashadoz.bsky.social @ingenious76.bsky.social @allthatchas.bsky.social @ianwinick.bsky.social @topleighton.bsky.social And if you're fans of Japanese metal act #Loudness, #WilliamOnyeabor #LosPrisioneros #DogDetachment and #Kino, there's much to discuss....

Episode 14 is out! A journey around the world as we explore superb nuclear tunes from Nigeria, South Africa, Japan, Chile and Russia. We have educated ourselves a lot on this episode and hope you find lots to interest you and dig further... #80s #podcast open.spotify.com/episode/0PlS...

For Episode 14, out on Monday @davenuclear.bsky.social and @pankp007.bsky.social travel the globe. What were Japan, Nigeria, South Africa, Chile & Russia singing about the threat? And for our many metal fans, we discuss the wonderful Japanese rockers, Loudness. Turn it up. youtu.be/ohdCEWWshGU?...

Superb interpretation which I completely believe.

NEW LIVE SHOW! Join me, Dave, and @bobfischer.bsky.social for the SCARRED FOR LIFE: UNPLANNED Halloween show at Dukes, Lancaster on Wednesday 29 October! We'll share real-life ghost stories, then talk about whatever spooky stuff takes our fancy! Tickets: bit.ly/3HK5duQ

After months of work (and not so subtle hints) I can finally announce my new podcast 'The Sound Of' comes out in exactly ONE WEEK! I chat with some truly spectacular guests about what makes music so important to them. You can follow now wherever you get your podcasts! Bio.link/thesoundof

Excellent. Looking forward to listening and supporting.

In response to my question yesterday about the unknown band... Thanks @indashadoz.bsky.social. Our overseas listeners will be rushing to validate your info...

Morning all... Request from me and @davenuclear.bsky.social... anyone know this anything about this band or song? Seems we ought to. But little turning up anywhere. And if there's anyone I trust, it's our followers. No pressure, then. youtu.be/u_WLGr-arl0?...

I just deleted my X account. For years it was fabulous. But the hate and racism in the last few years has been overwhelming. And, in the last month, stomach-turning.

Excellent episode from the boys @bangpodcast.bsky.social I knew most of the songs this week! I had not heard of @scarredforlife.bsky.social before so will check them out. I vividly remember the Nakita music video from back in the day.

Another fun episode! I knew all the artists (but not all the tracks) this time! And a shoutout to my my friend @indashadoz.bsky.social That Sting track had to be there but I forgot how bad it is. Keep up the good work, Pank and Dave!!

The next terrific instalment of this hugely enjoyable podcast. Loved the contribution from Dave and Ste. Five highly recognisable artists and songs. My fortnightly dose of returning to the 80's and fearing nuclear desolation but at least going out to a great soundtrack. Awesome job Pank and Dave!

Been a long day. Time to unwind....

Clem paces at an airport. Debbie pushes her own bags 2011

It was great fun recording with the boys from @scarredforlife.bsky.social. Here we see Dave and Ste drily reflecting on Pank and Dave's lack of books or DVDs...

In Episode 13, we found ourselves on the subject of Saturday morning kids' show No. 73. A complete blank drawn for us both... Thanks to @scarredforlife.bsky.social and to @topleighton.bsky.social who drew my attention to this... Blimey. youtu.be/eecpiKu46KQ?...
