Christmas Song Showdown : Pop vs. Rock
3 december 2024 |
83 min
We are back due to popular demand with our 2nd Christmas Song showdown. Coldplay versus The Ramones, Ariana Grande vs Bob Dylan (there's a festive fight we all want to see) —who reigns supreme in the holiday music arena, perhaps Queen? Our lively banter delves into what makes a Christmas song truly memorable, contrasting everything from Leona Lewis's pop appeal to the punk energy of the Ramones. We plug into AC/DC's notorious attempt at a stocking filler and try to decide if Pop or Rock is the best genre for Christmas music. Of course, it wouldn't be a Christmas special without touching on the eccentric genius of Bob Dylan's festive album and Elton John's timeless contributions to the Yuletide soundtrack.
We venture through the decades, from The Darkness to Christmas Lights and of course Wham!'s enduring "Last Christmas." Whether you're a rock enthusiast, a pop aficionado, or somewhere in between, there's something here for everyone as we revel in the diverse and timeless appeal of holiday tunes.

Screamadelica (Primal Scream)
10 november 2024 |
73 min
Episode 53: Screamadelica (Primal Scream). McCartney In Goal is the podcast that debates the great albums of pop music, using a competitive knock-out format. Today we’re discussing, Screamadelica which was the third studio album by Scottish rock/indie band Primal Scream. It was first released on 23 September 1991 in the United Kingdom. The album includes "Loaded", "Movin' On Up", "Come Together" and "Higher Than The Sun".
How did a remix transform a rock band into dance music pioneers? In our latest episode, we embark on a spirited journey through Primal Scream's iconic album "Screamadelica." Set against the backdrop of September 1991—a month that birthed Nirvana's "Nevermind" and the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Blood Sugar Sex Magik"—we reminisce about our teenage years and debate which album truly defined the era. With a playful quiz on the band's roots, we explore their ties with figures like Bobby Gillespie and Alan McGee, and the influence of the UK indie and Acid House scenes, all peppered with tales of our adolescent awkwardness.
Our discussion takes a lively turn as we dissect the album's eclectic nature, bouncing between gospel-infused anthems and psychedelic dance tracks. We engage in a humorous yet passionate debate over whether "Screamadelica" should be considered a concept album, reminiscent of a journey through a weekend's highs and lows. We even engage in a cheeky saxophone solo showdown, diving into differing tastes in jazz and musical complexity, while reflecting on the transformative power of tracks like "Moving On Up" and "Slip Inside This House."
No conversation about "Screamadelica" would be complete without celebrating the profound impact of Andy Weatherall. We dive into his pivotal role in reshaping the band's sound with remixes like "Loaded," and ponder how his collaboration with Bobby Gillespie and Andrew Innes forged a legacy that won the 1992 Mercury Prize. Whether you're a longtime fan or a curious newcomer, our exploration promises not just entertainment but a deep appreciation for an album that remains a defining piece of '90s musical history.

Delving into the surrealist and Beatles influences, we discuss how these elements, along with Rick Rubin's masterful production, helped craft the album's distinctive blend of humor, activism, and serious themes.

We'll kick things off with a lively debate on the best way to introduce this groundbreaking record to new listeners, celebrate Brian Eno's iconic quote about its influence, and delve into how its anti-heroic essence starkly contrasted the 'Summer of Love' ethos, influencing the evolution of punk and post-punk music.
Ever wondered how a chance meeting could change music history? We delve into the fortuitous partnership between Lou Reed and John Cale, from Lou's songwriting days at Pickwick Records to their experimental collaboration that pushed musical boundaries.

Wrapping things up, we host a passionate showdown between tracks like "Venus in Furs" and "Heroin," underscoring the exceptional synergy within the Velvet Underground.

Over ten years into his career, Dylan delivers an album which is more than simply the cliched 'return to form'. Many still consider it to be his finest recorded work. Almost a concept album in execution, the album covers love affairs in all their ups, downs, triumphs and tragedies. Coming with the usual Dylan complications (why bother letting any of the musicians learn the songs...?), the album delivers gut punch after gut punch, al shrouded in some of his most beautiful melodies.

Art Garfunkel was starting to develop a career as an actor, which is referenced in the song Only Living Boy In New York.

- Do Bob Dylan's songs lend themselves to be covered more than other artists?
- What makes a great Dylan cover version?
- Does the cover have to better than the original?
- Does the cover version have to feel like it is in the style of the artist covering it, rather than an artist doing a pub karaoke version of Dylan.
We look at the following Bob Dylan cover versions:
- The Mighty Quinn – Manfred Mann (Dylan 1967) (Manfred Mann 1968)
- Mr Tambourine Man – The Byrds (Dylan 1965) (Byrds 1965)

Episode 2 of McCartney In Goal: Definitely Maybe. This is the podcast that debates, dissects and disseminates the great works of musical popular culture.
1994. In public life, the UK was emerging from a long recession. The indie guitar scene started to hit the charts in the form of Britpop…… Oasis emerged as the flag bearers of the new scene. Noel's Union Jack painted guitar and Liam's hooded mac are synonymous with the Cool Britannia crowd.
We discuss:
- Is Rock 'n' Roll Star the definitive statement of Oasis career?
- Could the album have sounded more like Wonderwall if they had had the money to re-record it a third time? Or does it not matter?
- How was Supersonic written and recorded in a single day?
- Is Slide Away a prelude of the style of what was to come on What’s The Story?
- How great (and under-appreciated?) is Columbia?

Episode 1: Let It Be (The Beatles). McCartney In Goal is the podcast that debates and dissects the great albums of popular rock music using a competitive knock-out format. Today we’re discussing Let It Be, which is the twelfth and final studio album by The Beatles. It was released on 8 May 1970, almost a month after the group's break-up. It contains the Beatles hits: Get Back, The Long And Winding Road and Let It Be.
Let It Be is the final Beatles studio album, that was actually recorded prior to Abbey Road, but released afterwards in May 1970. The sessions for Let It Be were infamous for many years due to arguments between the band as portrayed in the original Beatles TV documentary also titled: Let It Be. For many years the Let It Be documentary appeared to be a front row seat to the break up of the greatest band in history, but was that really the story?
