In our latest Flexidisc we try to dismantle the classic Boomtown Rats song and try to work out what makes it tick.
And the reason? Well, there are no reasons.

...more April 25, 2024Known Pleasures Ep50 - Best Of Compilation This is a compilation of a few of our favourite moments from the first 7 years of the Known Pleasures Podcast.
...more April 06, 2024Known Pleasures Ep 49 - New Order ‘Play high, Hooky! Play high!’ Ian Curtis had been Joy Division’s conductor and lightning rod, giving his crucial nod of approval to Peter Hook’s upper-register bass sound and pulling the strings elsewhere. In May 1980, though, after Ian’s death, the renamed New Order faced an uphill battle. How they not only survived, but thrived spectacularly, is one of the great redemptive stories of rock and roll.

...more January 22, 2024Known Pleasures Flexidisc - Come On Eileen In our latest flexidisc we will exhume the body of Eileen, run a musical autopsy, and discuss the song that moved a million hearts in stereo in 1982.
Was Eileen a metaphor for casting off the social mores of sexual repression and escaping Thatcherite Britain’s humdrum existence?Was Kevin Rowland plundering Celtic rhythms and instrumentation a way of coming to terms with his Irish heritage?Or was it just a cracking good song?Either way, we at Known Pleasures will hum this tune forever, and who’d blame us?So, get your banjos out, tune those violins and dance a Celtic jig to the wonderful Dexys Midnight Runners classic: Come On Eileen....more January 03, 2024Known Pleasures Flexidisc - Empires & Dance While time heals all wounds, the scars of your first hapless podcast episode can run deep. With that in mind, we revisit Simple Minds and attempt to do justice to their Eureka-moment third album, Empires and Dance.

Ladies and gentlemen, release the bats!
