Episode 23: New Wave

- Wir klären in dieser Folge ein für alle Mal:

• Was sind die Unterschiede zwischen New Wave, Punk und Post-Punk?
• Was sind klassische New Wave Bands?
• Wieso ist New Wave so schwer zu definieren?
• Und ob wir überhaupt eine Ahnung von dem Thema haben?
• Und echt, gibt es  schon wieder eine neue EP von Purwien & Kowa?

- Wie immer ein paar Fun Facts zur Folge:

• Selbst die klassische New Wave Band "Echo and the bunnyman" machen heute laut Musikpresse "mittelmäßigen Pop-Rock im mittleren Tempo für Menschen mittleren Alters."
• In Frankreich spricht man nicht von Dark Wave, sondern von Cold Wave, wobei es auch einige Bands gibt, die sich dem Genre zuordnen lassen wie Clair Obscure und Trisome 21.
• The Cure werden bei Wikipedia sowohl als typische Vertreter von Post-Punk, Cold Wave, Gothic Rock und Dark Wave genannt.
• Auf dem bekannten Sampler "New Wave Classics" sind neben sehr passenden Vertretern u.a. auch EMF "Unbelievable" und Komtur "Hans von Stoffeln" enthalten, die aus unserer Sicht vieles sind, aber kein New Wave.

Today we are hitting a familiar song with a band that has iconic hair...Flock of Seagulls. The song is called I Ran (So far away) and was a hit in 1982. This song was not written with spiritual elements in mind, but we are going to pull out of it some things that often happens in our relationship with God.

The music on the podcast is from John Nugent. John is a Chicagoland area musician who has been a real blessing to Tabor Church. 

We talk to Kevin Rankin - Drummer for music legends Flock of Seagulls and host of the show All Access Live. Kevin takes us on the always unpredictable journey of the young musician striving for success in the ever challenging rock and roll world. From Montana to Portland, Kevin recalls life changing encounters with performers who, from simply taking the time to show interest in what a young punk drummer was doing, would have an everlasting effect in how he carried himself and treated others from that point on.

Dropping the needle in this episode of Behind The Vinyl: Mike Score from Flock Of Seagulls talks about how long it took before their song “Wishing” took over a year to make it to their record. Mark Holmes of Platinum Blonde reluctantly sheds some light on what their song “Situation Critical” is really about. Tony Hadley and Martin Kemp of Spandau Ballet find humor in the fact that they haven’t cued a record in decades and talk about that “moment” they first knew they had something big with their song “True”.
