Hey we're WEEKLY now! This week, we continue to ramp up to Record Store Day (April 20) with another look at two special releases coming out on that special day.

RSD's Rick Johnson has put together a live recording of last November's tribute concert, Lenny Kaye & Friends: Live At The Cat's Cradle, a 50th Anniversary Celebration of Nuggets. We'll hear from Rick and then hear from the drummer from the star-studded event itself, Jon Wurster (Bob Mould Band, Mountain Goats, Superchunk).

Then ex-New York Dolls guitarist Steve Conte unveils his RSD release, The Concrete Jangle, most of which was co-written with friend of the show, Andy Partridge (XTC).

The Record Store Day Podcast is written, produced, engineered, and hosted by Paul Myers who also composed the theme music and selected interstitial music.

Executive producers for RSD: Michael Kurtz and Carrie Colliton.

For the full RSD 2024 list and other RSD related news and events, go to RecordStoreDay.com.

Sponsored by Dogfish Head Craft Brewery, Tito's Handmade Vodka, RSDMRKT.com, and Furnace Record Pressing (the Official Vinyl Pressing Plant of Record Store Day).

This episode is dedicated to the late Karl Wallinger (Waterboys, World Party).

Season 4, Episode 70

Andy Partridge may have disbanded XTC years ago, but that doesn't mean he hasn't kept busy.  On this episode we take a listen to his two EPs, My Failed Songwriting Career, Vol 1 and 2, as well as a side project he's doing entitled The 3 Clubmen.

Not to be outdone, Cindy Wilson of the B-52s also has a brand new album called Realms. We'll find out what she's up to now that the B-52s have decided to pack it up.

In music news, we have a single from Modern English, more from the collaboration of Lol Tulhurst (The Cure) and Bungie (Siouxsie and the Banshees), OMDs new album and Micky Dolenz giving REM the Monkees treatment.  In addition, we talk about Vice Clark's upcoming solo album and  two EPs from The Ocean Blue.

As Steve Conte releases his Fourth of July single, the guitarist and singer talks about writing songs with his XTC hero, joining the New York Dolls and playing on stage with Chuck Berry. He also gives tantalising pointers to his forthcoming album of co-writes with Andy Partridge.

This episode of What Do You Call That Noise? The XTC Podcast also includes comments from Andy Partridge himself, plus sad news about Ian C Stewart.

It's the music we've been awaiting for a decade – and now it's out! Stu Rowe, Jen Olive and Andy Partridge have gone public with The 3 Clubmen and their very wonderful eponymous four-track EP is released at the end of June. But with three such gifted musicians to choose from, what's a humble podcaster to do?

There can be only one answer: three weekly podcasts!

In the first episode, Stu Rowe talks about working with XTC's Andy Partridge, Colin Moulding, Terry Chambers, Barry Andrews and Dave Gregory, as well as Jen Olive and most musicians in Swindon.

The 3 Clubmen EP is released 30 June 2023 and available from Burning Shed https://burningshed.com/the-3-clubmen_the-3-clubmen-ep_cd

Marc Lamothe joins the podcast to do a deep-dive on British "pop" band XTC (active 1972 - 2006). There were two distinct phases: the early years (recording and touring) and the studio years (no touring). We also discuss The Dukes of Stratosphear - an extension of XTC.

Strap-in for this one, XTC fans: Record/Hot Sauce purveyor Kevin Chanel (Grooves Inspiralled Vinyl/El Enojado Hot Sauce) brings us a curious musical oddity called 'Take Away / The Lure of Salvage', the 1980 debut record by XTC frontman Andy Partridge a.k.a. Mr Partridge! Consisting basically of dub remixes/rewrites of tracks originally recorded by Partridge's band XTC - and Co-produced with John Leckie - it's a weirdly confounding, highly experimental slab that challenges at every turn.

Does Wonderfalls have the best theme song in television history? Is Jaye Tyler the greatest lead character of all time? Is Wonderfalls the best show to ever only last one season? We answer none of these questions, but we do ask all of them.
