Episode 13: Charlie Watts and Some Girls - the ASMR experience

Spit your venom down the Téléphone

Hello listeners! This episode Gavin introduces Nick to the French rock band Téléphone. The band were massive in France and in much of continental Europe during the 70s and 80s, but did not bother the pop charts in the UK or US. Why's that, you ask? Because they had the temerity to sing in French. Oh, l'humanité! Gavin provides a history of the band, and we focus on their second LP, "Crache Ton Venin", or "Spit Your Venom" for all you anglophone monoglots out there. We're also joined by a very special new co-host, Maisie, who has joined us to fill in more details about the band because Nick is lazy. So, sit back and enjoy listening to (the) Téléphone. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

This episode we discuss car culture, the appeal of sports cars, road movies, books and songs about the open road, and Elon Musk (I wish we didn't have to talk about him, but it seemed necessary at the time). **This episode has been reuploaded after being deleted from the podcast hosting platform a few months ago. Why not listen again? ... Or, er, even for the first time?** ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.
