David Bowie Part Five
We enter the nineties in our marathon analysis of David Bowie's album output. The Tin Machine has a felt tip Out of Order sign taped on the start button. Whole new technologies are emerging and Bowie will be adapting to some so early many might not have names, just patent numbers. He even uses a Jaz Drive. Wild.

Will the music be divisive, avant-garde, baffling and uplifting? Or even any good?

Kevin and Darren champion The Buddha of Suburbia and agree hours.... is not the way to mark the end of a very eventful thousand years.

5282 does not endorse Bowie Bonds and warns the value of your investment may go Tom as well as Ziggy.

Petabytes of entertainment data is created weekly. We should be honest, it's mostly game shows and unboxing videos. We present the cream of music, TV, streaming and film of what remains.

Kevin, Phil and Dave discuss, amongst other things, Richard Thompsons new album, re-evaluated Brazilian cinema comic satire and the Paris Police TV series. So something for everyone.

David Bowie Part Four
The eighties open with Bowie in Clown mode. A chance encounter on a beach has brought on introspection and he decides to drop the clown and go for full on rockstar status.
Was this a good move?

The following decade sees lower output in terms of albums but a massive increase in workload, fame and income.

Kevin reflects on the change in direction and Steve reassesses the general opinion that not much of this was very good.

Frank Sidebottom, John Shuttleworth


Do you love the bossa nova preset of the Yamaha PSS-680? Do you spend endless nights colouring in bits of old cardboard with felt tips? Perhaps you feel the music industry is fundamentally unfair and there is no sane explanation of the top 40?

If you have not done so already, take refuge in the world of John Shuttleworth and shed of Frank Sidebottom. Who lives near Altrincham and has met Mark Radcliffe, y' know, that bloke off the radio.

Kevin and Dave discuss the origins and careers of these eccentric and to some baffling comic creations (proper Marmite). There is even a stab at 'meaning', but you could skip that bit at the end and go listen to "I Can't Go Back to Savoury Now" and "Anarchy in Timperley", for starters.

ITC Television Shows
ITC was a producer of quality television throughout the sixties and seventies. Featuring famous and breaking acting talent, quality screenwriters and a filmic eye for TV presentation, ITC created such iconic titles as The Saint, The Champions and Jason King. Which three titles will the regular hosts pick as their favourites? Is there any chance Kevin owns an ITC box set? And can Dave pronounce Riviera?

This is the last episode of series five. We will return in October with a bit of something to please most people. Unless a rogue AI infiltrates our system and churns out ten generic episodes on The Clangers.

El Pampero Cine
El Pampero Cine, the Argentine film collective, formed in Buenos Aires by Laura Citarella, Mariano Llinás, Agustín Mendilaharzu, and Alejo Moguillansky, has been honing its unique cinematic voice since 2002.

Without a shadow of a doubt, the foursome have delivered a compelling body of work, including their take on The Little Match Girl, the two-part Trenque Lauquen and La Flor, which clocks in at a staggering 808 minutes.

Phil, Kevin and Dave take a closer look at their brand of independent cinema, while trying their level best to get the pronunciations right. Will they succeed?

Borges and Magical Realism
Jorge Luis Borges. Argentinian poet, essayist and short story writer prolific from the 1920s onwards. Extraordinarily influential even though he wasn't widely known to north American or European readers until 1961. Also connected to the literary genre of 'Magical Realism' (M.R.). But was he a magical realist? And just what is M.R.?

Dave leads the discussion and uses "Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius" as an example of how tricky pinning down both M.R.and Borges is.

We can't even say if the moon is really there if you are not looking at it, that's how bad it gets. No wonder Kevin was nonplussed.

Complicating matters (yes, really) is that we originally planned this to be one episode with two topics, Borges, and El Pampero Cine. Both recorded on the same day, we are publishing both as separate episodes. Offering you sort of listen to one, get another one .... to listen to.

And to think, I used to work in marketing.......

Magical Realism: Painters
Given the nebulous nature of the genre, many famous and not so famous names are associated with the magical realism art genre. Two prime examples:

Georg Schrimpf on Artnet site

Charles Sheerer on The Art Story site

Books
Authors to consider include:
Gabriel García Márquez, Isabell Allende, Jorge Amando and and nobel laureate Josze Saramago.
Salman Rushdie and A S Byatt. Umberto Eco, Toni Morrison and Angela Carter.
At a stretch, Mark Helprin.

Summer Recommendations 2 - Film
In the heat of summer why not retreat to the air conditioned cinema for a big budget blockbuster? Are there any? We discuss recent films we have seen, and discuss upcoming films we are excited to see and others not so. Kevin then gets to list actors whom bookies are backing for the role of Bond. Dave bets Kevin's list will be metaphorically yellowed and fading by the time someone is hired. If your ten year old is telling everyone they are going to be an action movie actor when they grow up, give Amazon a call.

Summer Recommendations No. 1
We have so many recommendations we are making two episodes. In this we discuss music, streaming, books and even art. Kevin tackles deep subjects such as Jazz, Rob wonders if Nicholas Cage has got what it takes to swing between skyscrapers on spider webs and Phil has been reading an almost definitive biography of The Velvet Underground. Dave gets to talk about astronomy, which is a big bonus for him because this podcast was almost about life, the universe and everything.

Plus he finally managed to add his links.

Next episode we discuss summer films.

In just under an hour, they talk about growing up in Abu Dhabi, first guitar, Bright Young Things, influences, that BBC Maida Vale Studios session, playing Reading & Leeds Festival, and Hann's electronic ambient shift in 2015.

Depressing Musicals
Who doesn't love a big uplifting film musical? Dave. And quite a few people, if cinema audience numbers are anything to go by. What about musicals that deal with Fascism, recession, poverty, dashed hopes and the grim inevitability of the love of your life turning out to be a bit of an arse? Turns out there is a lot to think about - and discuss - when it comes to depressing musicals.

Kevin, Mel and Phil each offer a film to consider, and Phil then goes for two wickets in one over with a early Bollywood classic.

Remember, the hills are alive but it's the sound of jackboots marching towards you.

David Bowie Part Three
By the mid 70's Bowie is 'heavily self medicating' and suffering attendant delusions, paranoia and burn out. He decides to relocate to Europe, recording in France and Germany. He creates three masterpieces, the Berlin Trilogy. We suppose the Europe Trilogy had less of a ring to it.

And then Bowie officially declared the start of a new decade with Scary Monsters.

We discuss the impact and influence of this time, and Darren tells a classic Bowie anecdote, or two.

David Bowie Part Two

Following an epic Part One with Phil and Mel, we were unable to fit our Hunky Dory conversation in. So here it is, in all its glory, in Part Two. Then, we welcome music writer Steve Walsh to the studio to discuss The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, Aladdin Sane, Pin-Ups, Diamond Dogs and Young Americans. We talk about how Bowie constantly reinvents himself during this very creative period, while invariably leaving behind a whole host of loyal musical collaborators in his wake.

Look out for Part 3 in 4 weeks time, in which we'll be joined by Darren Worth, to discuss Station to Station, Low, Heroes, Lodger and Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps).

Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska

We have all our ducks in a row for this episode, discussing an album, a film and a program available on streaming.

After the success of The River Bruce Springsteen was burnt out and frustrated. Wanting to avoid the difficult studio production process of the previous two albums, the boss retreated to a secluded property and invested in a fairly new invention - a four track portastudio. What emerged was one of the iconic albums of the 20th century.

We talk about the creative process, his struggle to fully realise his ambition, and the deep connection all three presenters feel to this album.

We include the recent Nebraska 82: Expanded edition, the biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere, and the performance at the Count Basie theatre.

If you don't like Springsteen, Darren has some advice for you.
