- In which the beloved entertainer invites us to his Massachusetts attic to inspect a letter from Morrissey, a note from Bono, a school report, some favourite singles, albums, tickets etc and remembers the "accidentally brilliant" Marc Bolan, Beefheart pouring brandy on his harmonica, PiL on Whistle Test, the "frightening" stage presence of Joy Division, nicking ideas from Dylan and the Psychedelic Furs and wanting to be "a male Aretha Franklin". Includes valuable pearls of wisdom - eg "you can only like the Doors 'til you're 21".

Definitely one of my favourite macromedia flash developers
He has intelligence of a certain kind.
🤣🤣
I actually first met Lloyd Cole at a Charity do. We later kept in touch and when we lived in Glasgow, learnt Macromedia Flash and how to be fathers together. Even though his last album was a wee stinker and way too autobiographical, he's always had an intelligence of a certain kind.
Also had the pleasure of meeting him at a charity do. He was surprisingly down to earth, and VERY funny.
''Were those the guys who were in Mallard?''....brilliant...why I love this series so much.
He has a loft, of a kind.
I have had the distinct pleasure of meeting Lloyd a couple of times, and he is truly a gentleman. What a genuine, warm fellow who always had time for fans. I've always been a massive fan and I'm so pleased to hear that Patreon represents a platform that allows him to stay productive and profitable. And hearing him mention Paddy and Prefab Sprout was so wonderful, as Paddy and Lloyd represent - to me - the pinnacle of smart, catchy intellectual pop. Love it!
I met him anaw. Surprisingly down to Earth, and VERY funny.
Lloyd sent me one of his handwritten lyrics...for free! That was very cool of him. He's a good guy. I didn't know he was into electronic music.
Those "Lions in My Own Garden" things from Paddy McAloon are almost priceless--and with handwritten charts? Wow!
Lloyd playing golf since 1974 and a letter from Morrissey! ⛳️ Great interview! He’s a lovely singer. 😇
What a really nice fella. One of your best chats, I reckon. Thanks guys!
Lloyd got a great,great vibe going on.Amazing taste in music of course and excellent musician himself.Inspiring too.I heard you Guys mentioned that this show was coming up.Can't believe i missed this one,so glad i catched up.
Standards By Lloyd Cole was my number 1 album of the year back in 2013. Great interview
Lloyd Cole and 10CC in the same week, sometimes I love being an old git hahaha. Thanks Mark and Dave, who needs to be relevant when you can be interesting....keep up the good, endlessly fascinating work for all us old codgers to revel in. Very excited to hear Lloyd's working on a new album his last was as usual, beautiful. So good I might have to do a Tony Blackburn and lsiten to it again. Straight away......
NO, but there was a podcast devoted to the re-released book written about them, couple of days before this one......
This was absolutely enjoyable. Thanks!
I've got a great memory of you two on BBC2 watching Rock Around the Clock in 1983 and waiting for American Graffiti, what a film.
My similar memory was an earlier all-nighter in 79 or 80 I think....and staying up till four in the morning to watch The Police In The East.
Thank you for this. I shall watch it in the morning.
Another Paddy Mcaloon mention.Have you asked him on .
Another great podcast guys, very pleasantly surprised how much I agreed with Lloyd as I have to admit I was never a fan as Crass, Hawkwind and the Subhumans were more my bag at the time! He also reminded me that seeing PIL on their first tour when they reformed a few years ago is one of my favourite gigs of all time. Someone gave me a couple of tickets and although I wasn't expecting much the band and John blew me away - John getting emotional while singing Death Disco ( a song about his Mum dying of cancer) was incredibly moving. Also guys, how about getting Jah Wobble on the podcast, top geezer and a great story teller
Yep PiL at Bristol Academy a few years ago. I think we saw Lydon at his best in this period. Plenty of swagger and spit of course but with some emotional maturity too (as you point out), really brought the room together and made it a PiL zone!!
Great stuff! Don't think i'd ever heard Lloyd talk before and didn't know what to expect. Good to hear him tip his hat to Richard Butler, as I think The Psychedelic furs are criminaly underrated as lyricists.
Wonderful interview. Love Lloyd, his music choices, his sports choices, and his choice of country of residence. Werent the cooling towers close to the motorway the M1 at Sheffield? Maybe my memory is playing tricks.
Very enjoyable.
I'm 56 and still like both The Doors AND Lloyd Cole and the Commotions. As for Lloyd, I reckon he must've been into The Doors a few years past 21, unless it's pure coincidence that the words 'Brand New Friend' crop up repeatedly in 'Hyacinth House'. Now I'm on the topic, I've just remembered that Glen Patterson, now an eminent novelist but many years back my neighbour in uni halls, was keen to broaden his then girlfriend's musical horizons, and to that end bought two tapes for her birthday: one was 'Rattelsnakes', and the other was the first album by The Doors. Fine choices both.
Lovely stuff. So pleased Lloyd is a fan of The Go-Betweens & Sheet Music by 10cc. The Clarke Sisters is on Tallulah by the way Lloyd :-)
great to hear from lloyd cole here,he is so frank and open about his life in music,it is refreshing and really interesting,some great stories...i have thought for a long time it would be a good idea to do a tv series on people like lloyd,who have been in the charts in the past,and find out what they have been doing since...i would love to know what happened to them,so if any tv producer is out there,you can start with lloyd...some of his music choices here were not clear,they should be listed...i bought his first solo album,it was excellent,there wasn't a poor song on it,which is rare for any album...
Scott Walker middle albums (Any Day Now, Strech & We Had It All) should be re-released - overlooked & misunderstood albums. I like them a lot.
Enjoyable and nostalgic for me with some recommended records to check out.
Limmy says hi.
Amo lLoyde Cole
A bit rockist but it certainly caused me to go back and listen to a few things I haven’t heard in yonks.
LC is a really interesting chap, not least as he has musically taken quite a journey from The Commotions to electronica and back again (see his modular setup in the background and also his collaboration with Hans-Joachim Roedelius etc.). I also share his enthusiasm for that Isaac Hayes LP. I also concur re:Wobble also. Saw him chat about his book a few years back and he has the no nonsense air of a man who could manage a football team to Cup Glory! Great stuff to simultaneously balance that with level of glorious nonsense to required to be still knocking out great music!
I had a ticket for a Lloyd Cole gig in Yarm in April 2020. Cancelled. Look forward to a rescheduled date at some point.
Some of us have never given up on Marc Bolan- everyday playlist includes T-Rex.
Ena,Minnie and Martha!
Wow - that was wonderful, great episode! Great to see Mark take more of a lead too, for obvious reasons I guess.
I remember going to the Glasgow Apollo in the early 80s to see PiL. There was a guy hanging around the door with an axe in his hand. When I saw him, I said to my chum "let's go for a walk around the block and come back" - who goes to see a gig with an axe?! Leaving the house, wallet, yep, house keys, yep. Axe, yep.
Great to hear Lloyd's pal (and old friend of the podcast, Robert Forster, get a mention - it would be fantastic to have him on here. Not that Mark or Heppo would probably know about these things but "The Clarke Sisters" - such a great song - is on "Tallulah")
The comment "it's okay to like the Doors until your 21" is probably the best comment I've heard on here recently, and is so right!
Loved seeing Lloyd show PiL "Metal Box" too. For me, one of the top three best rock albums ever made, along with the self titled third VU album and Television "Marquee Moon".
Great to hear Lloyd mention the Tim Burgess listening parties on here again, Lloyd's back again later tonight and he is a bit of a Listening Party king. He gives wonderful comments on his albums. Also, get Tim on here!
Also, The Only Ones is Peter Perrett, not John - I mean, come on!
Finally, Lloyd's favourite album - Kraftwerk "Computer World", fantastic. Such a shame Heppo gave it 4/10 in his Smash Hits review at the time!
@@michaelkeane7211 Thanks Michael, yes that makes more sense. Guess I need to buy some eardrops!
Brother Cole looks to be in fighting trim.
The Computer World tour was quite the experience Not the best gig I've been to, but a top 10 for sure. They came on in red shirts dressed as robots I recall. Loyd Cole, a name that takes you back.
The Man Machine' look. Maybe my favourite of theirs...or 'Trans Europe Express'
@@hazelwray5307 Both amazing, as good I think is Radio Activity, under rated.
@Mark Stevens Hard to pick a best top off my head. Gotan Project show was stunning, Funkadelic in a small venue, so tight. Pharoah Sanders in an even smaller one. Steve Reich and 'band', so unique. John Surman, his tone live was gorgeous! Tippett's Mujician were perhaps the most talented musicians I've bumped into live, another level. Kraftwerk gig Lyceum 81?, is one that sticks out though, visually more so than musically, although their 4 Lp's from 74-78 should probably be in any half decent collection.
@@miketomlin6040 Yes! That Gotan Project album "La Revancha Del Tango" was a beauty.
@@kennethtaylor541 The Gotan Project were incredible. It's rare to find people do something so innovative that works so well. They had lots of very talented musicians in their ensemble. The LP was raved about at the time, but a lot of folks these days do not seem to know much about them.
I remember Tony Blackburn declaring that Metal Guru was the best T.Rex single to date. However, I agree that the evergreen rocker, Telegram Sam, is a classic Bolan song.
@David Robinson I was lucky to see T.Rex live in each year, 1974-77.
@David Robinson I've been playing the deluxe edition of The Slider quite a bit.
Children Of The Revolution - " I drive a Rolls-Royce , cos it's good for my voice "
that was great...where is the robert forster word?
In some respects lockdown is one long, lost weekend.
Shame they didn't address the elephant in the room, that huge Eurorack modular synthesizer behind Lloyd.
I found some missing Scott walker tapes recorded at the BBC 6 music didn't ever bother to download the files I sent them ,!! Some got played on radio 4 last year though
Actually Lloyd and Alice Cooper are ranked as rocks two best golfers….
Lads, T-Rex are alway's going in and out of style, they are back in now.The Walker Brothers toured down under with the headline act The Yardbirds. At the time the Walkers were popular but not as popular as in the U.K. On tour word of mouth got out and it was the Walkers everyone wanted to see. Just wouldn't let them leave the stage. Before Tony Blackburn was at the B.B.C. was'nt he on the pirate radio station Radio London? Cheers, Chris Perry.
Music for 18 Musicians, sublime. Interesting Lloyd went for a less loved Kraftwerk Lp
John Adams: Naive and Sentimental Music.
@@hazelwray5307 Do you know his Shaker Loops? I used to love that one.
Music For 18 Musicians - such a wonderful album, shame David and Mark didn't really pick up on it. And yes, that Kraftwerk album is fantastic, so ahead of it's time.
@@kennethtaylor541 I think that genre is out of their comfort zones, they seem quite pop/rock focused. Yes, the Reich Lp is superb. I'd rate it as a top 100 20th century effort. His Tehillim is arguably as good, but not as well known.
LC looks a bit down in the dumps. Maybe he needs a brand new friend.
