Word In Your Ear

著者: Mark Ellen David Hepworth and Alex Gold
  • サマリー

  • Mark Ellen and David Hepworth have been talking about and writing about music together and individually for a collective eighty years in magazines like Smash Hits, Mojo and The Word and on radio and TV programmes like "Rock On", "Whistle Test" and VH-1.


    Over thirteen years ago, when working on the late magazine The Word, they began producing podcasts. Some listeners have been kind enough to say these have been very special to them. When the magazine folded in 2012 they kept the spirit of those podcasts alive in regular Word In Your Ear evenings in which they spoke to musicians and authors in front of an audience.


    Over these years they've produced hundreds of hours of material. As of the Current Unpleasantness of 2020, they've produced yet hundreds of hours more with a little help from guests kind enough to digitally show them around their attics such as Danny Baker, Andy Partridge, Sir Tim Rice and Mark Lewisohn.

  • The Band Aid recording, the birth of the tape loop and the power of the movie theme tune
    2024/11/25

    This week’s events piled into a pipe and enthusiastically smoked include …

    … our memories of being at the Band Aid recording in Sarm studios, November 25 1984.

    … why it was the last dance of the mass media and why nothing could have the same impact now.

    … the “household name” that made all the difference.

    … the real reason Bob Geldof could be involved.

    … James Bond, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, the Spaghetti Westerns … how music is the real DNA of film franchises, the fingerprint that connects you with the original.

    … why should a teenager know what a radio is?

    … “Live vivid! Delete ordinary! Break moulds! Copy nothing!” The tortuous rebranding of Jaguar.

    … what the BBC spends 95 per cent of its time doing.

    … how Bee Gees’ drummer Dennis Byron unwittingly invented the tape loop.

    … the appeal of inconvenient technology.

    … David’s second Deep ‘70s compilation, “a dream fulfilment” – Americana, Skinny Tie music, cover versions, the outer limits of Island Records.

    … plus birthday guest Mike Sketch on discovering music late in life (Dylan, Tom Waits etc).

    David’s ‘More Deep 70s’ 4-CD compilation is available for pre-order now:

  • How Toyah & Robert’s kitchen show became an Xmas rock’n’roll ding-dong
    2024/11/23

    One of our rays of sunshine in the dark days of Lockdown was Toyah and Robert’s Sunday Lunch, fizzing clips of the two of them in their Dorset kitchen, him playing off-brand rock and roll, her singing in extravagant finery, occasionally on an exercise bike. Their version of Metallica’s Enter Sandman got 8.6m views alone. One time they were dressed as bees, another re-staging Swan Lake wearing tutus. This has now flowered into an all-the-trimmings Christmas show with a full rock band touring in December. They look back here at how it started and where it’s ended up, which includes …

    … the teenage Fripp doing the twist at the Cellar Club, Poole.

    … Strictly judge Craig Revel Horwood’s reaction when Robert booed him on set.

    … when the “elite newspapers” declared their kitchen shows were “genius”.

    … where their two different audiences meet.

    … plans for an upcoming Fripp memoir and his 1981 King Crimson diary.

    … things you find in old boxes in the attic.

    … how the grumpier end of King Crimson’s supporters regard the “other Robert Fripp”.

    … what Tony Iommi and Robert Plant thought of their lockdown clips.

    … and what you can expect from their Christmas Party show – which involves Bowie, Blondie, Neil Young, Slade, Metallica and an inflatable penguin.

    2024/11/20

    John Lydon is among us in 2025 - with Public Image in May and on his Spoken Word tour in September. Entertainment is guaranteed, as it is in this podcast with Mark where he considers … Norman Wisdom, Frankie Howerd, Tommy Cooper and the “sadness in all comedians”, stage fright, the day his dad threw him out of the house, why PiL is like opera, Ray Davies, Bryan Ferry, the “crippled emotions” of youth, why people open their hearts to him, the ghost of Johnny Rotten in Gladiator 11, the lost world of conversation in pubs, and missing his wife, best friend Rambo and Sid Vicious.
