15
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: when it was still a movie theater.

16
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 3: She took me to see the sound of music there.

17
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 4: Oh really nineteen times.

18
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 2: Wow.

19
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: So the band's playing songs are from your first four

20
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: albums of Skins and Heart, The Blurred Crusades, Seance, and Heyday.

21
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 3: Do you have a favorite child out of those?

22
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 2: Yeah? Can I also say that's the first set and

23
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,639
Speaker 2: then the second set we're going to come on and

24
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 2: play some other stuff.

25
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 4: Oh beautiful? Yeah even better?

26
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, not all old of old and then a bit

27
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 2: more new. Yeah. Yeah, my favorite one out of the

28
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 2: first force probably Heyday.

29
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 5: Oh right, yeah, it was a different album, wasn't it. Steve,

30
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 5: you sort of became writers as a band as opposed

31
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 5: to just your stuff doing the demos.

32
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 2: That's true, That's exactly what happened. The band started writing

33
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 2: as a unit and then I would put the vocals

34
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 2: on at the end, and it's sort of expanded. It's

35
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 2: really expanded everything. I think.

36
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely great album to commemorate the two or all

37
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: four albums are being reissued on vinyl throughout the year.

38
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: I remember the first vinyl album I ever bought with

39
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: my own pocket money was Stone Age Romeos by the

40
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: HOODI grew Steve, do you remember the first vinyl your

41
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: first final purchase?

42
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 2: Does it count if I sent my dad in to

43
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 2: get it for me because I was too shy?

44
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 4: Of course, that counts your money, your pocket money.

45
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, it was It's Too Easy by the Easy

46
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 2: Beat fifty five.

47
00:01:55,120 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Stevie right going off? Love that? Yeah?

48
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 5: Well, aloof and engaging one. I read that in the

49
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 5: review on your Instagram mate, you've had some interesting reviews?

50
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 4: Are there any Do you just ignore journalism and the

51
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 4: like that? Or you have you had? There's something is

52
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 4: stuck in your crawl all these years?

53
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 3: No, you know what?

54
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 2: No, I can recite bad reviews like the how is

55
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: this for a chunk? Richard Klube's drums termed tempting mysteries

56
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: into turgid mistakes.

57
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 6: Dear with Richard, isn't it beautiful?

58
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 2: You know, all those years practicing in the garage, someone

59
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 2: could call.

60
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 5: Me terrific because it's so close to turn, isn't it

61
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 5: that's awful?

62
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 4: Just sounds dirty.

63
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's in that category. The good ones I can't

64
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 2: take on board and the bad ones I take on

65
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 2: board too much. Yeah, so it's crazy like one hundred,

66
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 2: say there were one hundred reviews in the ninety nine

67
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 2: were yep, and one was bad. It'd be the bad

68
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 2: one that I'd be seeing there going.

69
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 4: Why why you all love me?

70
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: Have you learned to give yourself a break a bit

71
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 1: though over the years in respect of that.

72
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 6: No, no, no, no, I know I have no.

73
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't give myself a breakover and I

74
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 2: don't I like, I make myself miserable. I've just realized

75
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 2: what I've been doing for the last fifty years.

76
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 4: Steve, come close. It's not your phone, it's not your fault.

77
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 4: We can say that, mate.

78
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,920

00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 2: of the thing about that record, it sounded very loud

121
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 2: compared to all the other all the other songs of radio.

122
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,800
