KS-102 - STING-RAYS "Behind the Beyond" with Matt & Scott
<p>Yes, it's been a long while! Remember when fanzines would come out a year late? Well here we are. </p> <p>If you've been wondering what happened, we have NOT retired. We just got held up on a few episodes and then took a break! While we get back on track, we're posting a Patreon-only episode, from a release on Joe Foster's Creation-adjacent Kaleidoscope Sound label. </p> <p>In the future we plan on doing more non-Creation releases here and we're going to test out doing our regular releases out of order to keep things going smoothly.</p> <p>As always, special thanks to The Reds, Pinks & Purples for our theme music.</p>

CRE009 - THE LOFT “Why Does the Rain” w/ Peter Astor (The Loft, The Weather Prophets, The Attendant, Ellis Island Sound, Wisdom of Harry, Louis Chavez, Damp Jungle; author)
<p>** Fifty Years of Fun’s Patreon page: <a href="//patreon.com/fiftyyearsoffun">patreon.com/fiftyyearsoffun</a> **</p> <p><strong>It’s a huge one!! Maybe the first CLASSIC single on Creation, and boy are we excited about it. It’s worth the wait! Did you doubt us? I bet you did! Moves, technical problems, floods! Shit happens, as one says. At the end of the episode, you’ll hear how Pete Astor’s flat flooded and we had to put off the interview (but it’s mainly our fault!) And, we apologize but Matt’s mic is fucked up in the first segment. But we did it! 80s glam metal tragedies get coverage!</strong></p> <p>Links:</p> <p>The Loft: All songs available on the recent Ghost Trains & Country Lanes compilation: <a href="https://www.cherryred.co.uk/product/the-loft-ghost-trains-country-lanes-studio-stage-and-sessions-1984-2015-2cd/">https://www.cherryred.co.uk/product/the-loft-ghost-trains-country-lanes-studio-stage-and-sessions-1984-2015-2cd/</a></p> <p>Richard Hell “Time”: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toNDJOItyqg">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toNDJOItyqg</a></p> <p>Push with Seal and Oisin from The Weather Prophets “Traffic”: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSN0TTvZSTE">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSN0TTvZSTE</a></p> <p>Damp Jungle “Picture of a Girl”: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_sehoQZots">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_sehoQZots</a></p> <p>Devon Irons & Doctor Alimantado “Vampire”: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7gtK3LyLUE">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7gtK3LyLUE</a></p> <p>Heidi Berry “Firefly”: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-g1gwo_4OI">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-g1gwo_4OI</a></p> <p>——————————————————</p> <p>Stuff that comes up:</p> <p>Creation Records</p> <p>Roky Erikson</p> <p>Farmer’s Boys</p> <p>Andrew Weatherall</p> <p>The Jam</p> <p>Eric Clapton</p> <p>Biff Bang Pow!</p> <p>Pacific</p> <p>Heidi Berry</p> <p>Oasis</p> <p>Dave Morgan</p> <p>Funkapolitan</p> <p>The Canaries</p> <p>DC Gore</p> <p>The Attendant</p> <p>Lou Reed</p> <p>4AD</p> <p>The Out Club</p> <p>John F.C.
