Ahead of Sunday’s Pink Floyd related episode of EggPod Express (@eggpod.bsky.social) here’s that version of Astronomy Domine (accompanied by a video of my failed attempt at the Baked Beans Consumption world record) that you definitely didn’t ask for
From this episode: Thanks to Mary we not only have an unpublished photo of The Beatles, but the background story. Below NEMS/the Official Beatles Fan Club was an adult x-rated book shop and the clientele would occasionally wander upstairs to their offices - assuming they’d find more ‘material’…

According to a Hoffman Beatles insider one of the tracks listed - ‘Little Girl’ - is not related to Run For Your Life. Do we have a new Beatles composition on the way??

Peak 1964! The Stones joined on stage by Chuck Berry, The Beach Boys, The Supremes, James Brown, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, Gerry & The Pacemakers, Billy J Kramer, Lesley Gore, Jan and Dean etc. The complete T.A.M.I. Show is on YouTube - and it’s *SO GOOD*
Love this podcast. I know (checks…) precisely nothing about Haydn. But it’s more music - and a hugely entertaining way to learn!
Jeremy Limb@jlimb.bsky.social · 2w agoEp.2 of Why Haydn is Best now available! Which symphony is it this week? I'll give you a clue: it's no.94, the "Surprise". Is there a "Surprise" guest...?

#AskBlueSky Does anyone remember a video song from the early 2000s? A man drawing on his face with a black marker pen, wrapping rubber bands over his head, while singing something like, “looking in the mirror at myself” followed by a cheeky wink Anyone remember? Am I imagining it? Google - no help
This is fucking hilarious (and interesting!). Excellent interview with Andy Bown. It’s nearly all off the point/theme of the pod but brilliant anyway! Thanks Chris!

For anyone missing childhood hero Kevin Keegan you’ll find much comfort (and tons of laughter) by searching ‘TFTM Gold the Keegan odyssey’ in your pod provider. @tftimemachine.bsky.social did a huge celebration of his autobiography - a ridiculously, insanely, very sweary retelling. But FULL of love❤️
Top Flight Time Machine@tftimemachine.bsky.social · 2w agoRIP Electric Mouse. We loved him so much that it took almost an entire year to deep dive his brilliant autobiography.
This is a trip. You’ll feel as if something good is kicking in round about the time Andy Brown starts talking about his piano teacher’s ‘missing’ thumb.

Huge thanks to @petepaphides.bsky.social (who turned me on to Andy Bown’s music) and @huwareyou.bsky.social (who helped make it happen) for this episode. It’s probably the antithesis of ‘rock musician interviews’ but we had lots of fun making it🙂

Both episodes with Andy and Chris are tremendous. Fun, informative, hilarious and packed with interesting observations. Fascinating chat about the Kinks' Village Green LP which should have been a huge hit. Do yourself a favour and have a listen. Don't miss it!

For Kinks fans I highly recommend the two part episode of Eggpod Express @eggpod.bsky.social @chrisshaweditor.bsky.social and @iammilliam.bsky.social talk loads about the Village Green LP. It’s fantastic

This is Looks Unfamiliar. It's a show all about everything that you remember that nobody else ever seems to. I love doing it, especially because the guests are always so fantastic, and if you've not listened to it before I hope you'll love listening to it too. timworthington.org/looksunfamil...

If, like me, you've never wandered across the Village Green, listen to this excellent episode and then let the Kinks take you back!
Chris Shaw@chrisshaweditor.bsky.social · 4w agoGenuinely thrilled to have inspired you to explore one of the (imo) best albums of the 60s. So many of your observations (the production etc) are covered in part two. We also go through Ray’s track-by-track analysis which, thanks to Andy, brings so much vibrancy and colour to these out of time songs
I’m a Patreon subscriber so I’ve gotten through both episodes. It’s a great podcast and encourage all to subscribe @chrisshaweditor.bsky.social @eggpod.bsky.social
This is a hugely entertaining episode. Andy is so eloquent & vividly conjures up the 1968 music scene. I must confess I've never listened to The Village Green Preservation Society (bar the title track) but I will now! Chris is the perfect host. Revel in the joy of music in this fun, essential ep!
