S2E2 WGA with Lydia Lunch

This week we have a real Punk legend on the show, Lydia Lunch. Lydia was instrumental in the New York 'No-Wave' music scene of the late 70s, her band Teenage Jesus & the Jerks changed the world in 9 minutes of sonic destruction. Her poetry and forceful personality continues to shock and delight audiences around the world and she also had a hand in one of Eamon's most treasured singles 'Death Valley 69' with Sonic Youth. It is safe to say this is one of our favourite ever interviews, Lydia nails the brief and and shocks and surprises with almost every sentence. Before we meet the 'Queen of Punk' Anne and Eamon discuss the ever increasing lengths of play lists and whether it's ever OK to wear a sweary T-Shirt in the presence of children. After our slightly testy discussion of how to file records in series one we have decided call in the experts in the form of Anne's sister Dr. Beck Grant a fully qualified Archival Scientist. Dr. Beck gives us the lowdown on how to organise a collection correctly and also lends Eamon some much coveted credibility. We really hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did making it, please like, subscribe, review or just tell a friend what we do.As ever we have made a playlist of literally every song and artist mentioned in the podcast, skip past the ropey bits because there is some gold in there! Look it kicks off with Take That but you can blame Anne for that and just skip on if you like.https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0zr94Mno4Pi49ijOXkZZhL?si=9705df0afacd4c1bYouTube version for the rebelshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40Od45DjCA4&list=PLPPl5xM2fbUpVOsCmGVpkUC2KRsZMPNL0You can find out more about the brilliant Lydia Lunch here:http://lydianspin.libsyn.com/And because Eamon loves it here is the slightly gory video for Sonic Youth featuring Lydia Lunch 'Death Valley 69'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2Gf0MmRz9gCONTACT US: [email protected]  Twitter - @WHATGOESPOD  Instagram - @WHATGOESPOD  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/WhatGoesPod/ *BIG UP THE LIKERS RETWEETERS & SHARERS* Hosted on Acast.
