Can I Pod With Madness
@podwithmadness.bsky.social
Can I Pod With Madness is a podcast in which we meticulously review a copy of Kerrang! or Metal Hammer, from the EIGHTIES (or occasionally the early 90s). https://linktr.ee/podwithmadness
So I woke up this morning to find out that Ozzy Osbourne’s son made a video falsely accusing me of using AI to write a Rolling Stone article about the Tate brothers.
NEW Stewart Lee column ‘Jokes’ like the one Zack Polanski shared on social media only help Farage deflect scrutiny www.thenerve.news/p/stewart-le...
Germans by Udo Lindenberg has been hidden, mouldering in my memory since I saw this in 1986, and now it's back forever.
Why Don't YouTube?@whydontyoutube.bsky.social · last wk.40 YEARS AGO TODAY: the videos on Max Headroom are such an eccentric selection, including the never to be entirely wiped from your mind Rats On A Budget by Majka Jezowska, that Max doing his thing between them seems like the voice of reason.
What have BBC promos ever done for Romesh, Cleese, Julie Walters, Lou Reed, Brian Wilson...? My latest Substack - on BBC promos from 1985-2026 via two pubs, TVC reception, God Only Knows at Ally Pally, and reap reap reaping what we sow. paulkerensa.substack.com/p/what-have-...

This week we’re looking (back) at Kerrang Kontaktz, the Magazine Written By Rock Fans - or alternatively, a lazy money for old rope exercise in which some long rambling letters get published in full. podwithmadness.podbean.com/e/pwm31-garf...
Eternal thanks to Dirk for allowing me to indulge my fantasies of being a contributor to White Dwarf circa 1987.

Stay classy Steve. Aerosmith fully in their Wilderness Years at this point (meanwhile Joe Perry is out on his own, probably recording that Buzz Off song, or something). I'm convinced Tyler is using a hose here. You couldn't do that these days cos of woke. podwithmadness.podbean.com/e/kerrang-oc...
Simonson's Thor. "This issue - what do you call a fighting mad 6 foot 6 thunder frog?" Imagine wandering into your newsagent and seeing THAT with no knowledge of how we got there...
Can I Pod With Madness@podwithmadness.bsky.social · 2w agoEveryone saying you need to do homework to understand what's going on in a Marvel movie or whatever clearly never grew up reading comics when you'd take whatever was in the newsagents that week, that threw you in at the deep end with a editor's note that didn't even make sense.

Lots of the let's be honest not very metal #Genesis in this issue of #Kerrang - partly because just done a Reunion concert with Peter Gabriel, but also cos Phil Collins was the busiest man in showbusiness. podwithmadness.podbean.com/e/kerrang-oc...
The word "amorous" does make this feel a bit more wistful and romantic than perhaps it deserves.

We're all the way back in 1982, talking Neil Young, Aerosmith and Genesis (and ignoring King Rojo). Also, we discover Blackfoot, secret jawas and the Palermo Catacombs. podwithmadness.podbean.com/e/kerrang-oc...
Microsoft is planning to build three massive AI data centres in Leeds. It’ll drain thousands of litres of water from the River Aire and become the city's biggest carbon emitter. We can still stop the council's sign-off, but we need more voices. Add your name: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...
Stop the Microsoft AI megasite in Leeds!

Sometimes these things take ages and sometimes they get tossed off in 5 minutes, but we're talking about 1982 in the next Pod, so this seemed like the way to go.
We just watched Smile 2 and it was good but also I could really do with a cool refreshing bottle of VOSS water.
Mrs PWM just got annoyed about She Bangs The Drums being played on Absolute 90s, and I feel like that level of pedantry is my influence.
Kerrang in Feb 1984, featuring such heavy rock n roll animals as Phil Collins in a flat cap, Kate Bush, John (Cougar) Mellencamp and Orson Welles (oh all right then, Manowar). podwithmadness.podbean.com/e/pwm35-walk...
The full-length PantoSplaining Summer Special - where we take a trip to Great Yarmouth in 1982 to see RUSS ABBOT, LES DENNIS and ROGER DE COURCEY AND NOOKIE - is out now! A WHOLE HOUR of fun, frolics and faffing about. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRCs...

I bet Capt. Tom is pissed off that he's not allowed to be young and hot in the afterlife, like Anakin.
Joel@itsjoels.bsky.social · 3w agoJust found this in my phone. I know this is from Christmas, but I know they’ll be watching.
On the occasion of St. Derek of Griffiths' birthday, why not watch the recent PantoSplaining where we looked at one of his appearances in Aladdin? youtu.be/R_InIPirEUU?...

Lots of ANGRY people in Kommunikation this week- but no one as ANGRY as W. Axl Rose with his heartfelt message to critics Get In The Ring. This is how mos the romantic poets of the late 1700s settled their differences with the gentlemen of the press. podwithmadness.podbean.com/e/kerrang-oc...
1991 may have been The Year Grunge Broke (tm) but some of us were still listening to 20 minute sonatas with wibbly keyboard solos and Jon Anderson on harp. What's your favourite prog rock "exploration" - the more ridiculous and pretentious the better? podwithmadness.podbean.com/e/kerrang-oc...
CHOOSE YOUR FIGHTER! In the spotty corner, the Crüe’s Nikki Sixx, vs, in the stripey corner, The Tull's Jeffrey Hammond Hammond. Wild Side vs Bungle in the Jungle. Really long, angst ridden bass solo, vs The Hare Who Lost His Spectacles. podwithmadness.podbean.com/e/kerrang-oc...
Excited to announce that me and @crobertcargill.bsky.social are doing a scary stalker film together! He doesn't know about it because I am filming it from his crawlspace so the angle isn't the best and technically I don't actually have a camera but still very jazzed for this exciting collaboration!
