We were in the studio this evening mucking about with music and video stuff. So while we were in there feeling frisky, we recorded tonight’s podcast.
That was a handy coincidence.
One of the topics we talk about in tonight’s show is the musical legend that is John Otway. We we were fortunate to see him ‘live’ last weekend.
After the show, back on the couch, while I typed up the shownotes, Sophie started playing about with YouTube.
Watching Weetabix adverts off of the 1980s.
Connoisseurs of ’80s Weetabix adverts will understand that we inevitably segued in to ‘Delilah’ by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band.
We couldn’t keep it to ourselves.
The antics the guitarists get up to behind Alex Harvey cracks me up every time.
Enjoy:
Aaaaaaagh . . . Tom Jones flashback.
I must have had a sheltered life. I never heard of “The Sensational Alex Harvey Band.” A bit primitive, but entertaining – in an odd sort of way.
Doesn’t surprise me. They were a very Scottish antidote to the mainstream music the UK was churning out in the mid-70s. But they became a cultural cornerstone for some of us, even some of us from countries other than Scotland. It’s almost impossible to read a Christopher Brookmyre novel without a reference to SAHB. But he’s very Scottish. 🙂
