We look at one of the longest standing and most important bands to come out of the Pacific Northwest's Riot Grrl scene ... Sleater-Kinney

We discuss sexism in the music industry, the impact a producer can have on a band, how Sleater-Kinney inspired our guests, The start of the Riot Grrrl Revolution, and obviously a bunch of records!!

Re-joining Nick and Ewan are Cheri Amour and Fliss Kitson whose early bands were heavily influenced by the work of SK, Lexicographer and huge fan Ben Zimmer, and ...drumroll please... for this episode only.... the author of "Girls to the Front: The True Story of the Riot Grrl Revolution" ; Sara Marcus!!!!!!!!

In this episode we discuss the following (Links are to Bandcamp)

Sleater Kinney - 1995

Call the Doctor - 1996

Dig Me Out - 1997

The Hot Rock - 1999

All Hands on the Bad One - 2000

As usual there's a Spotify playlist incorporating the podcast and selected songs which you can find at https://sptfy.com/tfsk1

The Guests:

Somehow we have a really long episode about a band with only two official studio albums. Although one of those albums is very very critically acclaimed. (Though not by all of us)

We've only gone and done NEUTRAL MILK HOTEL.

We discuss, Charlie Sheen vs Emilio Estevez, outsider art, Jeff Mangum and his obsession with Anne Frank, and brass instruments that sound drunk. Also Nick gets very very angry!!

Re-joining Nick and Ewan are Norway's finest stand-up comedian Aaron Troye-White, and the man who gave us the best of our Bowie impressions back in season one, Lael Wageneck.

As there are only a couple of releases, we also take a detour through some of the early EPs and unreleased stuff. And obviously we spend time on their seminal LP In the Aeroplane over the Sea

We discuss the following (some are on Spotify, some are not)

Hype City Soundtrack Youtube

Everything Is

On Avery Island

In The Aeroplane Over The Sea

Ferris Wheel On Fire Youtube

Just as we kicked off Season Two with something loud, we thought we would repeat the trick with South Wales' own (well apart from the lead singer) Mclusky.

If you are thinking "who?" then you probably feel exactly like Ewan did when we started all this but by next week's episode it will all become clear.

Joining Nick and Ewan are Chris Whitby who will be taking us through the albums , and pod veteran, author, radio host, musician, can i say polymath? Cheri Amour! What, that's not enough? Fine, let's also add Nick Taylor from the rather excellent My Teenage Band podcast.

We look at

My pain and sadness is more sad and painful than yours

Mclusky do Dallas

The difference between me and you is that I'm not on fire

Mcluskyism

There are body parts mentioned, a few impressions of The Young Knives, and some post-hardcore shenanigans.

So, back in the early days of Temporary Fandoms we put out a half-finished pilot looking at the output of criminally underrated band ESG. Finally, after a year of churning out episodes we are able to present a proper episode on this amazing punky dancy groovy group.

Re-joining Nick and Ewan to take us through their back catalogue are Zoë Von Hess and Chris Whitby, and new to the pod, the simply amazing Cheri Amour (who is only writing the book on the seminal ESG album Come Away with ESG for 33/3 !!!!)

We talk our way through their career, look at why they are underrated, talk about one of the most sampled tracks of all time, and discuss some...poor albums covers.

Even if you listened to the pilot there is plenty here for you to dive into.

OK, welcome to your new favourite band if you like Pixies, Hüsker Dü and Japanese stuff.

In this episode Ewan tries to convince Nick, returning pod favourite Chris Whitby, and pod newcomer, guitarist of Math Rockers Delta Sleep, Glenn Hodgson of the merits of Japan's Number Girl.

Despite only putting our 4 albums between 97 and 2002 the legacy of Number Girl on the Japanese Alt Rock scene cannot be overestimated. They brought melodic US-style Post Hardcore and left a legacy of guitars, innovation and … some questionable song titles.

We take a look at

Schoolgirl Bye Bye (1997)

Schoolgirl Distortional Addict (1999)

Sappukei (2000)

Num-HeavyMetallic (2002)

For more, check out the band website for merch, music and stuff

https://numbergirl.com/

We try to get to grips with what made them important, wonder why nobody outside Japan seems to know who they are and fail miserably to understand the obsession with Japanese Schoolgirl iconography.

We also call Pixies - The Pixies, get some album titles wrong and horrendously mispronounce anything Japanese. Oh, and someone's mic got unplugged halfway, see if you can spot whose...

As usual there's a playlist incorporating the podcast and selected songs (as the first album is not available on Spotify, there are tracks from B-Side and Live recordings in there)

https://sptfy.com/tfNumberGIRL

Glenn is the lead guitarist of Brighton's excellent Delta Sleep, and their latest album, a collection of live tracks accompanied by a series of short films is well worth your time. Check them out, and buy something from their bandcamp at https://deltasleep.bandcamp.com/music

Putting The Fall behind us, kind of, we head back to the 60s and take in the West Coast sound of Love. The Band that could have had Jimi Hendrix in, that could have played at Woodstock, that could have been... oh just listen!

Re-joining Nick and Ewan is pod favourite Emily Baldoni, and making their debuts are Gavin Hogg (host of the THE GIDDY CAROUSEL OF POP - Possibly the number 1 Smash Hits Pod around) and Paul Hanley (author, podcaster, drummer of Brix and the Extricated, and once upon a time ...The Fall) to share their opinions.

It doesn't feel like it's over. We have spent weeks listening to, digesting, dissecting, and discussing over three decades of music from THE FALL. Here we step through the final years, find some praise for the later albums and deal with Mark's tragic death.

The line-up remains the same from last time, and we are joined by James Kennedy, Mike Plowman, Aaron Troye White and The Blue Orchids' Tansy McNally

Do The Fall suffer a post millennial slump, or is it all guns blazing into the new century? Does MES revamp the line up again to ruin Nick's argument that the line up was relatively stable? How is Ewan's brain after listening to the entire discography?

The line-up changes again, and we are joined by James Kennedy, Mike Plowman, Aaron Troy White and The Blue Orchids' Tansy McNally

In this episode we work our way through the ups and downs of...

And we are back with the late 90s. As Cool Britannia reigned and Brit Pop peaked and died how did this impact one of music's great acts?

The line up remains the same as last time with TempFan stalwart Zoë Von Hess and newbie Joe Mitchell. Both long-time Fall fans, they both bring their unique perspectives to fandoms, toxic bandmates, pre cogs, 90's guitars and more.

In this episode we work our way through

Cerebral Caustic (1995)

Levitate (1997)

Despite Nick constantly banging on about how The Fall have a pretty solid line up, I'm going to refer to our Fall-esque constantly revolving line up.

Back on the Pod is TempFan favourite Zoë Von Hess and joining her is newbie Joe Mitchell. Both long-time Fall fans, they both bring their perspectives to fandoms, toxic bandmates, 90's wazzy keyboards and more.

In this episode we work our way through

Nick and Ewan are re-joined by our very special guests, John Henderson of Tiny Global Productions, Fliss Kitson of The Nightingales, and pod music maestro Jonathan Fisher.

In this episode we look at the mid to late 80s, and tackle what many think of as the Fall's greatest album ( you will probably disagree)

After the last episode we started sneaking into some podcast top ten lists, so let's go to the moon!!

We had some tech issues with this pair of episodes so hopefully the slight drop in sound quality for this ep isn't too annoying.

Nothing says future podcast success than a dive though the discography of a 1970s experimental German rock (ish) band.

We have a look a one of the most influential bands ever to come out of Cologne (and maybe even Germany) though one of us isn't fully convinced. But it's the internet so we have three dudes telling another dude that he is wrong.

Nick and Ewan are joined again by Ben Zimmer, Jesse Jarnow, and Jeffrey Lewis to talk through the work of Yo La Tengo this century.

We get side-tracked a little by Ewan getting excited about Slade.

As you know Ben is a renowned linguist and lexicographer, and big Yo La Tengo fan.

Jeffrey is, quite simply, a phenomenal musician, singer, songwriter, and comic book artist; he is also a massive Yo La Tengo fan.

Jesse? Well Jesse literally wrote the book on Yo La Tengo: Big Day Coming: Yo La Tengo and the rise of Indie Rock.

Join us for an in depth look at the second half of the career of Yo La Tengo, and see if the band re-find that loud sound from their early years.

Nick and Ewan are joined by Ben Zimmer, Jesse Jarnow, and Jeffrey Lewis. What could bring these three togethers for a mammoth three and a half hour chat? (Don't worry it's in two parts)

It could only be US Indie legends Yo La Tengo!

Ben is a renowned linguist and lexicographer, and big Yo La Tengo fan.

Jeffrey is, quite simply, a phenomenal musician, singer, songwriter, and comic book artist; he is also a massive Yo La Tengo fan.

Jesse? Well Jesse literally wrote the book on Yo La Tengo: Big Day Coming: Yo La Tengo and the rise of Indie Rock.

Join us for an in depth look at the first half of the career of Yo La Tengo, and hear some shocking revelations on the way!!!

Here, we take an in depth look at the Berlin period, and then try to make it through the Eighties without mentioning Dancing in the Streets.

Nick and Ewan are joined by Steven Miller and Zoë Von Hess this time round, and apparently nobody else remembers David Bowie doing a Christmas thing with Bing Crosby.

Obviously this is a big undertaking so we've split it into several parts. This one takes us from 1967-1976. From his debut up to Station to Station.

Nick and Ewan are joined by Lael Wageneck, Ben Zimmer and Emily Baldoni and we take our time talking through the albums and finally having a big rambling discussion.

Honestly it is worth it for Lael's Bowie impression alone, but in all seriousness, we think this is the best episode we've done yet. And it's a little on the long side.

Nick and Ewan are joined by Butthole virgin Aron T White and stalwart Brendan Emmett Quigley to see whether Nick's favourite band hold up to scrutiny.

Aron describes the experience like spending a year in India, Brendan rambles on about Van Hagar, Nick can't find a bottle opener and Ewan forgot to hit record on his Zoom session.

This was a logistical nightmare as we temporarily change the format already; Lots of guest, lots of albums discussed. And one of us was drunk (see if you can spot who)
