Only Three Lads - Classic Alternative Music Podcast

E168 - Top 5 New Wave Albums, Part II (with Peter Godwin & Leah Lane)


Listen Later

We're, like, totally back for Part II of our new wave extravaganza! But, no, we shan't gag you with a spoon.

For this epic exploration, we welcome not one, but TWO Third Lads: Peter Godwin is the acclaimed singer, songwriter and musician who first entered the public eye in 1977 with the suave art rock of Metro, formed with Duncan Browne and whose signature track “Criminal World” was later covered by none other than David Bowie. After three albums, lineup shifts, and an increasing pop sensibility, Metro called it a day and Godwin struck out solo to release new wave era dance floor fillers such as “Baby’s In The Mountains” “The Art Of Love” and the sublime classic “Images Of Heaven,” as well as writing, producing and playing for other notable musicians. Leah Lane is the insanely talented singer, songwriter and musician behind Dallas based post punk band Rosegarden Funeral Party, who have released a steady stream of hauntingly dark and beautiful music over the past 6 years . And Together, Peter and Leah make up the duo known as RE/Generation. The first fruit of their musical partnership is out now, a single featuring a cover of Bowie’s “Absolute Beginners” and the gorgeous original “Beautiful Boy,” with more on the way. 

During this segment, we'll count down from our #3 to #1 new wave albums, and delve further into Peter & Leah's music...including Leah's surprising musical obsession!

Featured music during this episode:

  • RE/GENERATION: 'Beautiful Boy'
  • Rosegarden Funeral Party: 'Ill And Getting Worse'
