    #52 CHUMBAWAMBA PART II: Polk Music

    #52 CHUMBAWAMBA PART II: Polk Music

    Our heroes continue their wayward march toward improbable fame, satiating their anarchic through dalliances with new genres of music, including dance, pop, reggae, and a mysterious unheard-of one which we apparently think exists. 

    And of course this being Chumbawamba, we've supplied the necessary historical context for each esoteric track. Topics of conversation in this episode will include Live Aid, Apartheid, a bitch slap in Parliament, hypocrisies in sampling law and beyond.

    #50 CHUMBAWAMBA PART 0: A Crass Course on Anarcho-punk

    #50 CHUMBAWAMBA PART 0: A Crass Course on Anarcho-punk

    In 1997 a smash-hit single called "Tubthumping" took the world by storm. Its authors were an eccentric eight-piece outfit from Leeds, England who kept insisting that they were anarchists. Media and fans alike were confused: what did this feel-good drinking song have to do with politics? And what were a bunch of radicals doing making pop music anyhow?

    This is the story of Chumbawamba... sort of.

    You see, to understand Chumbawamba's incongruous success as pop star anarchists, you have to know the backstory. Far from an overnight success, this band's roots stretched back 15 years earlier to a small but immensely important scene called anarcho-punk. This movement, spearheaded by the legendary underground group Crass, merged music and radical politics in a manner that was bolder and more aggressive than anyone had ever seen, so much so that even those in the upper echelons of the State began to get nervous!

    In this episode we tell the incredible story of Crass and the 80s anarcho-punk movement that, however indirectly, led to one of the catchiest singalong anthems of the 90s. 

    Consider this a Prequel to our proper Chumbawamba series. But unlike the Star Wars prequels, this shit is just as good (if not better) than the real thing...

    017 - Stranger Things than Nude Tuesday

    017 - Stranger Things than Nude Tuesday

    We deliver our final verdict on Pistol, and spot the likely cultural references in the new series of Stranger Things. Do modern special effects make that kind of thing more or less scary? El Tele trails upcoming memoirs from Blur guitarist Graham Coxon, and Libertines main man Pete Doherty, and is really looking forward to the New Zealand comedy film Nude Tuesday, starring Jackie van Beek and Jemaine Clement. He appreciates the YouTube channel Soft White Underbelly, which has interviews and portraits of the human condition by photographer Mark Laita.

    The Captain will be off to see Chumbawamba documentary I Get Knocked Down at the weekend, and talks about two recent album releases by Pale Fountains and Shack frontman Michael Head.

    We’ve got a question for you.. if there’s one celebrity you’d like to have a drink with and get to know, who would it be? And what questions would you ask? Let us know in the comments or on social media!

    Episode #22: Tiananmen Square

    Episode #22: Tiananmen Square

    In this episode, we talk about the harsh contrast between poppy piano music and the violence at the Tiananmen Square massacre, which is a pretty good parallel to how we go from discussing the massacre to talking about Randy Savage's turn as the Slim Jim spokesman. Also: John Delaney's coming on the show to talk about fitness; big Dads; Bad Dream, Fancy Dress; the soothing sound of a wallet chain. |

    One Hit Wonder: Chumbawamba with guest Eric Buzbee

    One Hit Wonder: Chumbawamba with guest Eric Buzbee
    Troy, Jake, Scott, and Chris try a new segment. Troy thought it might be fun to do an episode based on one hit wonders, and do a deep dive into why they only had their one hit. Was it political? Was it because they just kinda suck? Could it be any other reason?! The Coldbros have guest Eric Buzbee (https://instagram.com/ericbuzbee?igshid=1rfooy2zzxmon) on the show to discuss the band Chumbawamba. Eric is an internal sensation known for his music and video game streaming. Eric's song "20 Cents Ahead" is actually the intro/outro song for the Coldbow Podcast.

    Media Stuff and Things with Danny Wardwell

    Media Stuff and Things with Danny Wardwell

    We take a break from the paranormal and fantasy topics to talk about something else we enjoy: visual and audial media. From the struggles of streaming on Twitch to the subjective opinions about "good" music, our conversation is more laid back this time, but still with sprinkles of analytical insight about how these things affect daily life.

    Timestamps

    2:10  Streaming Struggles:
    Doing that Twitch thing can be a daunting experience. Whether it's a career or a hobby, it takes dedication like any other job.

    ​8:12  Danny Has a Job:
    Danny works at a local TV station as a behind-the-scenes employee for live news production. It's the live production part about it that's fun while the news side of it isn't interesting. This gets us talking about about the availability of jobs for people who go to college for audio/video degrees.

    ​12:33  Music and Repose:
    Music is relaxing, whether you're listening or performing. Would it be worthwhile turning it into a job?

    ​18:13  Music Influences:
    What is "good" taste in music? Well, the short answer is all music is good. Listening to music is a subjective and personal experience for each and every individual person.

    ​26:10  Machine Mentality:
    Make no mistake -- the music business is a machine. We discuss some of the effects this can have on people.

    ​30:16  Music Influences Continued:
    Life circumstances can influence when and how you discover and indulge in certain kinds of music.

    37:23  Movie and TV Banter:
    A question about trivia knowledge leads to a talk about how religion and science are represented in creative fiction. Then, Danny pitches one of his favorite shows.

    48:00  Danny's Past and Future:
    Before we close out the episode, Danny shares more interesting bits about his past in relation to where he is now. This gets us thinking about education standards in different parts of the world -- we'll explore this more in the future.

    52:27  Closing Banter
