The last guy alive, by pact, has to do a solo album, thereby completing the project and avoiding the hauntings of already departed members. We just finished our 26th year. None of us is dead yet." We had a blast hanging out with Dan, Mark and Matt for this episode.  We missed Mike and Dave.  Dave... Oh, and this one definitely earned its "explicit" tag.  It contains some language that will make your ears bleed and mind melt.  Hide the kiddies.   We recorded this episode a few hours before the news broke that we sadly lost Trugoy the Dove from hip-hop trio De La Soul.  Trugoy, this one's for you.   Finally, if you're listening to this on release day, Happy Valentine's Day from Only Three Lads.  We loves ya to pieces!  ]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">onlythreelads.podbean.com/460915a5-f8b3-32d4-ac61-81aed66f4095</guid><pubDate>Tue, 14 Feb 2023 08:00:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/52952961/o3l_e149_top_5_trios_1b55u8.mp3" length="266295296" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Only Three Lads</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Three is a magic number, yes it is...and good thing it is, because this week we take a look at our top musical trios of the O3L era.

One of those bands was The Dentists, a leading light of the Medway, UK scene in the mid-80s.  They debuted in 1985 with a prolific spate of releases: their first single, "Strawberries Are Growing In My Garden (And It's Wintertime)", the full-length album Some People Are On The Pitch They Think It's All Over It Is Now and a six-track EP, You And Your Bloody Oranges.  Each release masterfully blended '60s psych-pop, garage, and chiming, harmony-laden folk-rock that was mercifully out of step with the "Big 80s" sound.  Over the course of the next decade, the band would release 1990's Heads And How To Read Them, 1993's Powdered Lobster Fiasco, 1994's Behind The Door I Keep The Universe, and 1995's Deep 6 (the last two for major label Warner subsidiary EastWest), as well as more singles, EPs, and compilations.   The AllMusic Guide refers to The Dentists as "arguably the first Britpop band." It is our great pleasure to welcome Dentists' guitarist Bob Collins and bassist Mark Matthews as our Third Lads this week.  Along with a 40 year history as friends, Mark and Bob are bandmates once again in The Treasures Of Mexico.  They offer great insights on their history, and took their homework assignment seriously, coming up with a fantastic and thoughtful list of 1985 tracks.  During the show, you will hear The Treasures Of Mexico's 2021 single "Always The Shadows" and vintage 1985 Dentists track "I Had An Excellent Dream."   Finally...a Dentists visit to look forward to!]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">onlythreelads.podbean.com/b393534f-91a9-32d1-afec-511e80d07833</guid><pubDate>Tue, 07 Feb 2023 08:00:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/52952946/o3l_e148_master6cyil.mp3" length="287353820" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Only Three Lads</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>A-HA!  We go "back to the future" to 1985 to discuss our Top 5 Songs from that incredible year.  In many ways, 1985 was the heart of the BIG 80s...big hair, big, loud day-glo imagery, big booming snare drums, big synth sounds, big hits.  On the other...</itunes:subtitle><itunes:summary><![CDATA[A-HA!  We go "back to the future" to 1985 to discuss our Top 5 Songs from that incredible year.  In many ways, 1985 was the heart of the BIG 80s...big hair, big, loud day-glo imagery, big booming snare drums, big synth sounds, big hits.  On the other hand, 1985 was also a year filled with a lot of incredible indie pop, garage rock, neo-pysch and post-punk music.

We're talking American punk rock in the '70s.  Our Third Lad this week is not only someone who experienced the music firsthand, but was one of the writers who championed and chronicled many of the greatest names in not only punk rock, but music in general.   Michael Goldberg joined us for Episode 114 following his riveting book on the life of Jimmy Wilsey, Wicked Game, and returns to O3L to celebrate his latest release, Addicted to Noise: The Music Writings of Michael Goldberg, out now on Backbeat Books. Addicted To Noise collects the best interviews, profiles and essays Goldberg has written during his 40-plus years as a journalist. From combative interviews with Frank Zappa and Tom Waits to essays on how Jack Kerouac influenced Bob Dylan and the lasting importance of San Francisco’s first punk rock club, Goldberg, as novelist Dana Spiotta wrote, “shows us how consequential music can be.” Contained within these pages: interviews with Sleater-Kinney, Sonic Youth, Patti Smith, Lou Reed, Flipper, John Fogerty, Neil Young and Rick James, and profiles of Robbie Robertson, John Lee Hooker, James Brown, the Clash, Prince, Michael Jackson, the Flamin’ Groovies, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, X, Laurie Anderson, Brian Wilson, the Ramones, George Clinton, the Sex Pistols, Richard Thomson, Gil Scott-Heron, Stevie Wonder, George Clinton, Devo, San Francisco punks Crime and more. Plus short takes on Muddy Waters, Townes Van Zandt, Captain Beefheart, Professor Longhair and others. Also 50+ full page photos of some of the artists. As Greil Marcus writes in the Foreword, “You can feel the atmosphere: someone has walked into a room with a pencil in his hand—as the words go in perhaps the first song about a music critic, not counting Chuck Berry’s aside about the writers at the rhythm reviews—and suddenly people are relaxed. … He isn’t after your secrets. He doesn’t want to ruin your career to make his. He doesn’t care what you think you need to hide. He actually is interested in why and how you make your music and what you think of it. So people open up, very quickly, and, very quickly, as a reader, you’re not reading something you’ve read before.” The stories originally appeared in Rolling Stone, Downbeat, Esquire, New Musical Express, California magazine, Addicted To Noise, San Francisco Chronicle, Vibe, Creem, New York Rocker, and more. In the O3L Spotlight this week, we celebrate the return of late '80s London indie poppers The Jack Rubies!  We play their new single, "Hidey Hole," which happens to conveniently be now available at: <a href="https://thejackrubies.bandcamp.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://thejackrubies.bandcamp.com</a>.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">onlythreelads.podbean.com/c1dc41ed-e83e-3610-94f7-06cbcb604b77</guid><pubDate>Tue, 01 Nov 2022 07:00:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/52952940/o3l_e135_top_5_70s_american_punk_albumsb50hs.mp3" length="209025632" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Only Three Lads</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>This week, O3L is comin' at you L.A.M.F.!  (Oh, that's Los Angeles Milk Family, of course...)

This week, we are very pleased to welcome Renee Schyjer, wife, muse and soulmate of rockin', rollin', power-poppin', wild feline frontman Freddy Moore.       Whether you know him as Freddy, his Midwest alter ego Skogie or mild-mannered offstage Rick, Frederick Moore was quite possibly the biggest rock star you've never heard of. Freddy had it at all. The looks, the charisma, the chops, the songs.        In the late '60s and early '70s, his band Skogie and the Flaming Pachucos reached local stardom and small-scale Beatle-level adulation. After moving to LA in the late '70s, they evolved into The Kats (and later The Nu-Kats). The Kats sold out every major club in Los Angeles, from Madame Wong's to the Whiskey to the Starwood to the Troubadour, headlining alongside bands like The Police, The Knack and The Motels. The Kats were offered dozens of record deals. They turned down every single one. KISS's Gene Simmons wanted to manage them. He was married at the time to a rising movie star named Demi Moore. Yes, Freddy seemingly had it all...yet rock n' roll stardom eluded him.       In 2014, Moore received the frightening diagnosis that he had developed early-onset Alzheimer's. With Renee's tireless love, help and research, Rick was able to hold onto his memories as long as he could to share them with the world.       Co-written with Shannon Guyton, the result is It's Not A Rumour, an unorthodox, hysterical story of survival, and making it big in music without ever making a dime. It's an "almost famous" chronicle woven together with lyrics, photos, and memorabilia. It's Not A Rumour is available from Amazon or other fine retailers.       In between booking Renee on the show and our release, Frederick Moore passed away on August 25, 2022. We dedicate this episode to his memory, and hope it is the celebration of life, love and music that he deserves.       Hear more of Freddy Moore's music at: <a href="http://demophonic.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://demophonic.com/</a>       In the O3L Spotlight this week is a Philadelphia-based band that WRKC's DJ Calc hipped us to, The Tisburys. We play "Language of Luxury" from their latest album, the gutsily titled Exile On Main Street. It's a great record touched by the influence of Springsteen, The Replacements, modern indie rock, '90s college rock and power pop.

Brett is a Weller uber-fan, and Uncle Gregg is a casual fan who is diving deep into the Weller-hole.       Whether it be with The Jam, The Style Council, or his long, prolific solo career, Paul Weller is an icon who has maintained a restlessly creative and unfathomably successful career for 45 years, racking up a staggering 65 Top 40 singles in the UK, including 21 Top 10’s, and 38 Top 10 albums, including his two most recent studio albums landing at #1. His career serves almost as a microcosm of pop culture - from Class of ‘77 punk rock to being the driving figure behind the ‘79 mod revival to the evolution and sophistication of British pop in the ‘80s by incorporating elements of soul, jazz, synth pop, rap and acid house to a solo career that found him sharing the charts with the Britpop artists he influenced, eventually settling into his current role as a rock n’ roll survivor who staunchly refuses to become a legacy act.       In a recording career spanning more than 30 years, Terry Banks has played as/with St. Christopher, Tree Fort Angst, Glo-Worm, The Saturday People, Julie Ocean, and has released six albums to date with Dot Dash. We play a few cuts from Terry's past, plus a glimpse into the future, with a rough mix of a brand new track called "Space Junk, Satellites."        Dot Dash's releases can be found on previous O3L guest Wally Salem's wonderful label The Beautiful Music...and thanks to Wally for making the introduction!       #musicpodcast #musicpodcasts #podnation #thejam #paulweller #weller #stylecouncil #punkrock #sophistipop #heavysoul #70smusic #80smusic #90smusic #newwave #1stwave #classicalternative]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">onlythreelads.podbean.com/32beeb52-c6b9-3721-9c2f-79d91f86704f</guid><pubDate>Tue, 16 Aug 2022 12:06:23 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/52952668/o3l_e123_top_5_paul_weller_songs_master6qk14.mp3" length="225207632" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Only Three Lads</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Sup up your beer and collect your, um, elk bagels (???) and meet us down at The Eatin' Rifles, as we gab about one of the greatest artists of the O3L era, Paul Weller with the marvelous Terry Banks from Dot Dash!

Since then, Helen has embarked on a productive solo career, has taught songwriting and music production, and has published two well-respected books - The Lost Women of Rock Music: Female Musicians of the Punk Era and She's at the Controls: Sound Engineering, Production and Gender Ventriloquism in the 21st Century. The former inspired the documentary film that she co-produced with Gina Birch from The Raincoats, entitled Stories from the She-Punks. She's currently out playing gigs and has a new album on tap for October 7th, Drawing On My Dreams. Oh, and did we mention that she's a REAL LIFE PhD of Music? Sorry, Rocktor...       Helen was so magnificent that we had to make this one a two parter. In Part 1, we discuss her career and current endeavors, and in Part 2, we get down to our lists. Of course, you'll want to listen to both of them!       So tell us, who do *you* want to be today?!? Someone who listens to O3L, that's who.       This week's O3L Spotlight artist is MONICA QUEEN. Monica is perhaps best known as the guest vocalist on Belle and Sebastian's 1997 single "Lazy Line Painter Jane." She's back with a new single, a cover of Vic Godard's "Stop That Girl," from the upcoming album of the same name.       Monica Queen: https://twitter.com/monicaqueen4?lang=en       Helen McCookerybook: http://mccookerybook.com       #musicpodcast #musicpodcasts #songswithhorns #brassmusic #classicalternative #1stwave #newwave #punkrock #indiepop #indierock #ska #skapunk #70smusic #80smusic #90smusic #helenmccookerybook #monicaqueen #O3L]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">onlythreelads.podbean.com/14dfe5f1-67e9-3a1f-8826-df2f32e2f732</guid><pubDate>Tue, 02 Aug 2022 07:01:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/52953210/o3l_e121_top_5_songs_with_horns_part_191dmn.mp3" length="119303228" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Only Three Lads</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>**Please note: This is Part ONE of our two part episode.**       Yeah, we're brassed off this week...but in a good way, because this week we're back with a two-parter discussing our Top 5 Songs with Horns with one the loveliest guests we've ever had...</itunes:subtitle><itunes:summary><![CDATA[**Please note: This is Part ONE of our two part episode.**       Yeah, we're brassed off this week...but in a good way, because this week we're back with a two-parter discussing our Top 5 Songs with Horns with one the loveliest guests we've ever had on, HELEN McCOOKERYBOOK!       Helen McCookerybook started playing bass in Brighton, England punk bands in the 1970s, before forming the John Peel-approved indie bands The Chefs and Helen and The Horns.

It is a song, in his words "about loss, growth and acceptance." It recently attracted praise by the likes of Duglas T.

For the record, Shepherd has assembled an indie supergroup featuring Dave Morgan (The Loft, the Weather Prophets, Subway Sect) on drums and production, Frank Sweeney (The June Brides) on strings and keyboards and Arash Torabi (The June Brides, The Distractions, Beat Hotel) on bass, with guest vocals by Tommy Reid (The Jasmine Minks), Beth Arzy (The Luxembourg Signal, Jetstream Pony), Aberdeen’s Vapour Trails and Marianne Dissard.

OK, we won't really, but we've got a special two parter for you this week, as we discuss our favourite Scottish albums with JIM SHEPHERD from The Jasmine Minks!       Aberdeen, Scotland's Jasmine Minks were one of Creation Records' earliest signings, scoring two UK Top 30 indie singles ("What's Happening" and "Cold Heart") and sharing the stage with the likes of Jesus And Mary Chain and Primal Scream. So respected were the Minks that they were the only band that Creation boss Alan McGee took with him to his next label, Poptones.        Minks' singer/ songwriter/ guitarist Jim Shepherd is back with a brand new solo album, The Circle, now available on Spinout Nuggets. For the record, Shepherd has assembled an indie supergroup featuring Dave Morgan (The Loft, the Weather Prophets, Subway Sect) on drums and production, Frank Sweeney (The June Brides) on strings and keyboards and Arash Torabi (The June Brides, The Distractions, Beat Hotel) on bass, with guest vocals by Tommy Reid (The Jasmine Minks), Beth Arzy (The Luxembourg Signal, Jetstream Pony), Aberdeen’s Vapour Trails and Marianne Dissard.

For our Stiff celebration, we are very fortunate to welcome Any Trouble's singer, songwriter, and guitarist extraordinaire CLIVE GREGSON as our Third Lad.

We have two "Third Lads" this episode (which makes four total, but you know we're not good at math n' stuff) - singer Tom Cheek and drummer Allen Wagner from Athens, GA's Kilkenny Cats!  In 1987, the band appeared in the definitive documentary Athens, GA - Inside/Out, in between their 1986 debut album Hands Down and 1988's Hammer EP.  The band's sound was dark and brooding, yet rocking and danceable, with critics scrambling to classify their music as "moody Southern goth," "hard driving college rock," and "pop-ish hypnotic indie dance rock" with "haunting melodies and blazing guitar."  In 1985, R.E.M.'s Mike Mills cited them as the number one band in Athens.  10,000 Maniacs and Pixies opened gigs for them.  This was a band that could have, and should have, been as huge as their reputations. Fortunately, their "Cat-alogue" (get it??) is back, remastered and available on streaming platforms, with vinyl and CD editions forthcoming.  Plus, we preview a couple of rare Kilkenny Cats' rarities!   For more information on Kilkenny Cats:  <a href="https://www.facebook.com/kilkennycatsathens/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">(3) Kilkenny Cats | Facebook</a>      ]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">onlythreelads.podbean.com/2d81259e-970f-3477-91a2-270119238e82</guid><pubDate>Tue, 16 Nov 2021 08:00:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/52952715/o3l_e86_top_5_albums_of_1987_masterbe5zy.mp3" length="215432660" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Only Three Lads</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>You gotta have faith-uh, faith-uh, faith in O3L, because we're heading straight back to 1987 this week!  So grab your crimping iron and acid washed jeans, and join us as we count down some of the finest classic alternative albums of the year.

Fortunately, their "Cat-alogue" (get it??) is back, remastered and available on streaming platforms, with vinyl and CD editions forthcoming.  Plus, we preview a couple of rare Kilkenny Cats' rarities!   For more information on Kilkenny Cats:  <a href="https://www.facebook.com/kilkennycatsathens/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">(3) Kilkenny Cats | Facebook</a>      ]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>5391</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>yes</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/93cefc1539ff493aacf0ecfec54fb3f6.jpg"/><itunes:season>2</itunes:season><itunes:episode>86</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>E85 - Top 5 Acoustic Songs (with Terry Draper from Klaatu!)</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/user/12038320/e85-top-5-acoustic-songs-with-terry-drap</link><description><![CDATA[Calling occupants of most extraordinary songcraft...we are observing you...we are your friends.  Get mellow and sensitive with O3L this week as we discuss our Top 5 Acoustic Songs. We were very fortunate this week to have Third Lad Terry Draper from Klaatu join us this week.  In 1976, Klaatu let their music do the talking, with a blend of whimsical psychedelia, spacy progressive rock and melodic power pop...so much so that masses of people believed that they could be The Beatles under a pseudonym!  The brilliant, essential debut album 3:47 EST and single "Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft" became hits on FM radio, with "Occupants" covered by none other than '70s pop icons The Carpenters.   But the Terry Draper story doesn't end with the demise of Klaatu in 1982.  Since returning to the record bins in 1997, he has remained incredibly prolific with new music.  Following 2020's Lost comes the ambitious new album The Other Side.  If you are a fan of adventurous yet always tuneful music (and we know you are), pick up his latest releases at <a href="https://www.terrydraper.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.terrydraper.com.</a> Terry shares a lot of fascinating stories from his rock n' roll life.  Be sure to also check out our bonus episode, where we cover everything from his beginnings in the mid-60s to encounters with Mick Jagger, Ozzy and Boy George, his recipe for a "songwriting cake", and how he continues to make progress after over 50 years of music.   So take a trip to "The Other Side" with Terry &amp; O3L.  A splendid time is guaranteed for all!]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">onlythreelads.podbean.com/5c602b75-a040-3fa4-aad5-10a7f08ec003</guid><pubDate>Tue, 09 Nov 2021 08:47:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/52952704/o3l_e85_master_29gx2t.mp3" length="169339016" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Only Three Lads</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Calling occupants of most extraordinary songcraft...we are observing you...we are your friends.  Get mellow and sensitive with O3L this week as we discuss our Top 5 Acoustic Songs.
