11 Keeping it Real - The Wicker Man

Episode 11: Keeping it Real (May 18th 2018)
'Much has been said of the Vince Stadons of yore
Of chat-fests and podcast shows by the score
But I sing of a Jeremy Wall we adore
The podcast overrater'.
This episode:
The Wicker Man:
Vince and Jeremy discuss the 1973 British folk horror classic, which they first saw thirty years ago, and keep returning to, and as Vince proposes a range of Wicker Man merchandising, Jeremy sets in motion a diabolical evil scheme to improve his home-grown rhubarb.
Vince wonders if Bruce ‘The Boss’ Springsteen has ever used his celebrity status to officially endorse a punningly named Indian Restaurant; Jeremy explains why Britpop darlings Oasis are just too basic and way too madferitourkidlike to be taken seriously; we speculate as to what The Beatles might have played at Live aid; we ponder the appeal of Steve Winwood; and our Overrated supergroups do battle once again.
The artists/bands rated and discussed are The Pierces, Deep Purple, Oasis, and Nirvana. We also speak about Manfred Mann and Manfred Mann’s Earth Band (in Deciphering the Lyrics), Doves, Medieval Babes, Traffic, Blur and Britpop, Weather Report, Paul Giovanni, and Bruce Springsteen.
