In which our heroes are joined by Jamie from the Talking Dad UK podcast.Jamies podcast discusses all the joys and challenges of being a father and recently had me on to compare stories of DIY midwifery. He joins us on Records and Bands to chat about Dad Rock, how music changes once the kids come along and how some tunes are forever linked to memories of our children.Jamie and Sam really hit it off while we recorded, so much so that I felt like a third wheel at times, but I kind suspected that they'd have more in common musically as they are much closer in age and like loads of the same bands.Anyway I relished the opportunity to rest my COVID ridden throat!!! Yes, I was struggling a bit while recording but we had put Jamie off a few times before and were desperate to keep this appointment so please forgive any coughing and spluttering on my part!Don't expect any deep looks into any particular record on this one, its more of a general chat about records and bands but we had a blast.A few linksJamie the Talking Dad UK One link to all of Jamies stuff, all over the www'sAlphabet Zoo.

Spotlight on: Troublegum

1 Recommendations

In which our heroes talk s*** about Troublegum, the 1994 masterpiece from Therapy? There are two types of people in the world. Those who love Therapy?, and those who haven't heard them yet. We chat a little about the history of the band (or rather Rob delivers a lecture) before we talk about our relationships with one of the most important bands of the 1990s. After that we go through their most critically and commercially successful album track by track. This is one record where the age difference between the hosts doesn't matter as its just an absolute piece of work. Sam remembers me and our other brother just playing it relentlessly and, once driving licenses were obtained, going to Therapy gigs almost every other week!!! This is a really important record and band for us, Sam admits to keeping it in a special box with loads of precious memories, reaching for it on important occasions while I've listened to as much as any other album I care to think of. So join us as we chat about one of the most important, underrated and vital bands of the last 30 years whose influence, craftsmanship and energy is still as strong in 2021 as it was in 1994.www.recordsandbands.com
