All Yesterday’s Parties

Good day, hearty listeners!  Once again Mike, Emily, and John return to King Street, and while discussing the Area 51 raid (REMINDER: this was recorded in July 2019) and the first album Emily ever acquired, the tangents really start stacking up.  See if you can count how many times we digress, then write in!  You might not win a prize!  This was the last episode we recorded at King Street Studios, but all being well we will have more coming your way as soon as we can manage.  Remote nattering IS being established... #Music #Podcast #SergeantPepper #Lifted #TheCraneWife #Area51 #MachineGunTurret 

Greetings to you all!  We (Mike, John, and Emily) continue unabated with a fresh dip into Rolling Stone's Top 100 albums - we can't remember what the last one we did was (Bob Dylan, possibly?), but decided that none of us had listened to a Stevie Wonder album.  Cue us listening to a Stevie Wonder album.  BUT NOT BEFORE John regales Mike & Emily with a tale of what can only be described as a hospitality NIGHTMARE.  Stay tuned for elderly mayhem.  Ready?  Set?  GOOOOO!  #Music #Podcast #Review #StevieWonder #NakedVengeance 

We return!  It's another spin of the nonsense wheel with Mike, John, and Emily, as we run a full emotional gamut of cattle interference news, sublime/bonkers cover versions we love, and savage analyses of rock creeps.  How much of this can you take?!  We sure hope it's 33 minutes' worth.  #Podcast #Music #BlindManWithTorchSeeksSimilarForVisitsToLivestock #MustHaveOwnPenKnife #BetweenHisToes #TheKnack #Covers #CreepOff #AndMyAddressIs #BestHashtaggingEver

Yes, we're back once again, and a new face joins the AYP family this week, in the form of Staffordshire Poet Laureate 2017-2019, WordCraft co-founder, AND self-professed wordy half of Rose&Cloud: Emily Rose Galvin!  Recorded in July 2019, John* and Mike take the opportunity of having somebody with them to try out the Autophonography format on a third party.  (NOTE: they say it correctly this week!  Impressed?  No?  Fine!)  This episode contains insights into what Emily listened to growing up, what she listens to now, and contains almost no answers confined to one song.  It also contains some of the finest ever observations on Morrissey by Emily, and a quip from Mike that renders all further attempts at speaking null and void.

Don't forget to look us up on Tumblr for Mike's Listening Notes, and find us on social media at @ayppodcast to tweet us, message us, and perhaps YOU can take part in a recording session of All Yesterday's Parties!

*John - the noisy half of Rose&Cloud

TWO EPISODES IN A DAY?!  We really want you to get a flavour of the Autophonography vibes, so that if you want to take part in an AYP recording, you'll be prepped.  As mentioned previously, we recorded these before 'AYP Festival Fest 2018 (Cancelled)' (Thanks, Barry) and then didn't upload them, but NOW IS AS GOOD A TIME AS ANY, RIGHT?  Not least because next week there's going to be someone joining us, and not only will they be doing an Autophonography, but we'll be saying it right instead of calling it 'Audiophonography' like we've done for the last two weeks.  This time, Mike's going to be taking an interrogation from John about preferred happy/sad songs, first albums, and #1 songs from the day he was born.  In addition, there is a discussion about what you can call your kids in New Zealand.  So that's fun!

WE'RE BACK.  After the excitement of 'AYP Festival Fest 2018 (Cancelled)', we needed a rest, so we had one, and then realised that we had recorded a couple of episodes prior to 'AYPFF2019(C)' which John utterly failed to upload (John failing to upload things is going to crop up again next week). ANYWAY, this episode and the one after it sees us trying out a format idea kindly donated to us by Gary Wilcox, where a set of questions results in some music-based answers.  Mike named this format 'Autophonography' but for some reason in AYPs 41 & 42 we keep ham-fistedly referring to it as 'Audiophonography'.  Please ignore this of AYP 41 & 42s John & Mike - they're clearly idiots.  In AYP 41, it's John's turn in the hot seat while Mike grills him about which songs was #1 when he was born (it's a lucky escape, folks), what the first album & single he bought was, and what he listens to when he's happy or sad.

Apologies in advance for the last two thirds of this week's episode, as our time ran out in the back room of The Greyhound, and we were forced to de-camp to John's house, where there was nowhere to set our mics, so we were holding them.  This has resulted in a degree of odd noises from us holding the stands.  ANYWAY:

It's the last episode of this Festival Fest 2018 (Working Title) (Cancelled) mini-season!  Once again we are joined by Matt Tyrer and Gordon Kochane, presenting a proposed roster of artists for this distressingly, tragically, and ultimately comically doomed festival.

This week, Matt brings us The Apples In Stereo, John supplies a hearty handful of Torres, Mike slaps us about the face with Sunn (((O + Boris, leaving Gordon to invoke dbridge.

This was the last thing we recorded for Festival Fest, so see if you can spot the precise point where John finally gave up and succumbed to post-tipsy insensateness.

We start this week with a complete absence of control, some of which is clawed back for the middle section, and gleefully abandoned again for the last five minutes.

As ever, we are organising another day's entertainment for Festival Fest 2018 (Working Title) (Cancelled), which will feature Gordon nominating Goblin, Matt nominating Tom Waits, John nominating Cardiacs, and Mike nominating Open Mike Eagle.  The episode will also feature Gordon's undercarriage, Matt's loss of dignity, John jumping the queue, and a dead cinema organist.

It's PART TWO of Festival Fest 2018!  Picking up from last week's band-off, curating a fictitious festival that not only doesn't exist but also won't happen, our plucky young pillocks have more acts to consider letting down when it gets cancelled.

THIS WEEK:  Mike recommends Chibi Tech, Gordon has a round of Italo Disco, Matt proffers Xiu Xiu, and John (buoyed from last week's Covet win) has a bunch of Doves.  Who will everyone prefer?  Ready yourself for lots of light opinions followed by one STRONG OPINION, and also whether or not Gordon's fingers and phone are pure of thought, word, and deed.

Festival Fest 2018 is HERE, in the Year of Our Lord 2019\.  We apologise for the delay, having recorded these next four episodes in June last year, and the Greyhound pub in Hartshill.  In the wake of Safe As Milk Festival's cancellation in 2017, we elected to meet up and make our OWN damn festival!  For this we welcome back regular festival co-conspirators Matt Tyrer and Gordon Kochane.

For the next four weeks, each of us will bring one act to recommend for Festival Fest 2018, and we will then vote on our favourite.   In the first round of picks, John brings Covet & Yvette Young to the table, Mike lays out Featherweights for our perusal, Gordon delivers a presentation on Eurodance, and Matt rides in on The Mountain Goats.  Who will win? You DO NOT decide!
