LP Lexicon Podcast 039: In Utero by Nirvana album commentary.

Episode: 039
iTunes
Stitcher
Download: Link.

Artist: Nirvana.

Album: In Utero.

Show notes: Yep. We "forgot," Gallons of Rubbing Alcohol Flow Through The Strip. Basically, the damage my CD has made it unlistenable, so my apologies. Well worth a listen, though. 

The List. Great to see PJ Harvey was on there.

Aside from that, there's nothing I can really lead you to, that can't be found online, easily. Go hunt and enjoy!

LP Lexicon Podcast 038: Different Class by Pulp album commentary.

Episode: 038
iTunes
Stitcher
Download: Link.

Artist: Pulp.

Album: Different Class.

Show notes: Ahh .. Two Roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less travelled, and that has made all the difference.

Different Class is an album which has huge commercial success on these shores, and had huge critical acclaim, and has aged magnificently. Surely, this is what all artists everywhere strive to achieve, and only few can actually accomplish.

When I listen to Sorted for E's and Wizz, it takes me to that University dorm room, and I remember a time in my life where I realised I was getting older, becoming slightly more popular amongst my circle of friends, and beginning to take the next steps on the road which we now know is life.

Sorted for E's and Wizz was one of the last tracks I liked before I liked music, and it's stuck with me all of these years. 

Here is the video which gives me motion sickness. Does it for you?


Pulp - Do You Remember The First Time?

Pulp - Reading 2011. 

'Njoy!

Such earthly treasures.

LP Lexicon Podcast 033: Kevin Smith's Mallrats OST.

Episode: 032
iTunes
Stitcher
Download: Link.

Artist: Kevin Smith.

Album: Mallrats.

Show notes: I'm watching Mallrats right now! I often put something connected to the episode on, as I edit/upload. Last night I was watching Live Forever (As we've been on a huge Blur kick), which put me onto mid-90's culture. Live Forever is 98% British culture related, and it got me thinking about American 90's music and attitudes, immortalised here on the Mallrats OST.

Really want to investigate more Belly. Need more 4AD. I'm sure there will be more than that on the Lexicon Pod in the coming weeks. 

People stop listening to new music at 33. (Episode number entirely coincidental).

Joe and Kevin Smith (Hammersmith, 2014).

Mike Bell, Jason Mewes and Joe (Hammersmith, 2014).
