The Revelation Station

Greetings Los Friendos, Stationeers and Lockdown Listeners!

If you were expecting a review of The Divine Comedy album “Casanova” then I’m afraid I’m going to have to disappoint you. We’re delaying that episode until next week because we had the chance for a very special episode. No, we’re not covering Gary’s obsession with beer or Simon’s addiction to coffee…

In this weeks episode we talk to none other than Nick D’Virgillio! The drummer, singer and multi-instrumentalist was kind enough to give us his time to chat about Rewiring Genesis, Calling All Stations, playing live, his new album “Invisible” and more!

So, without further preamble, please enjoy our interview.

Previously, on Keep Talking…

The boys covered the first half of Rewiring Genesis A Tribute To The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, by Nick D’Virgilio. We decided we liked it pretty much, BUT will the second CD change our minds? Find out in the thrilling conclusion…

Find out what Gary has been drinking this week! Gasp as Simon continually says “Brass and Wind Instruments” instead of “Brass and String” (and neither of them notice pfft). Marvel as Gary has to take Simon’s insults about his age because he can’t get to him!

Hello Lockdown Listeners!

Welcome to this week’s episode of Keep Talking from The Revelation Station. In this episode we will be casting our ears over The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway…what’s that? We covered that already as part of the Genesis reviews? Well, fear not dear listener for this is the tribute album by Rewiring Genesis the 2008 project by none other than Nick D’Virgilio!

This week we cover the first CD (first two sides of vinyl in old money). Find out about such diverse topics as Gary’s opinion of trumpets and Simon’s extensive knowledge of James Bond. Part 2, next week, will cover the rest of the album, so tune in then!

Greetings Lockdown Listeners and welcome to episode 6 of Keep Talking…the weekly podcast from The Revelation Station.

In this episode we discuss the debut album by David Devant and His Spirit Wife (the band, not the Victorian stage magician) and, well to be honest dear listener it’s a bit of a gush fest. Work, Lovelife, Miscellaneous is the name of the album and it’s a bit of a favourite around these here parts. Released in 1997, you probably haven’t heard it before and that’s your loss. You can rectify that by listening along with us (and then going out immediately and buying the album).

Greetings Lockdown Listeners and welcome to Episode 5 of Keep Talking! We are interrupting our scheduled episode to bring you this bonus from the archives of Octarine, the fanzine that Gary and Simon both wrote and edited.

Featuring a never before heard interview with Rob Grant and Doug Naylor, conducted by a very young (and hairy) Gary in Northampton on 18th July 1992, we spoke about the contents of this in last weeks episode and here it is for you in all it’s unedited glory*. Please Enjoy!

*Which means there might be some bad language.

Smoke me a kipper, if it isn’t another episode of Keep Talking from those chaps at The Revelation Station. In this week’s episode we take a trip three million years into the future and join the boys from the Dwarf in their latest adventure. Of course I’m talking about the sci-fi sitcom Red Dwarf, and specifically the special “The Promised Land” recently broadcast on Dave.
Along the way we give you some background on the show in the first of our “pocket guides” and there may be one or two clips to keep you entertained. Find out how we first discovered the show, what our favourite episodes are AND Gary talks about meeting Grant Nayor (the shows creators) waaaaaaaay back in 1992.

But what if I don’t like Red Dwarf, you ask? Well, in that case I suggest that a) you’re wrong and should give it another chance OR b) just skip this episode, listening isn’t mandatory.

Greeting Lockdown Listeners from the year 2112!

As you may know, the priests have banned all forms of podcasting, so please keep this one quiet or they might shout at us in those screechy voices they have.
In this episode Acolyte Simon and Adherent Gary discuss an album they found discarded in one of the ancient buildings just outside the city. Coincidentally enough it tells a story of this very year and is entitled “2112”! What a coincidence! It’s by a band called “Rush” and was apparently released over 130 years ago in 1976! Listen (very quietly) to what Simon and Gary thought when you have completed your designated work period.

Greetings Stationeers and Los Friendos!

We are living in interesting times, and as such we aren’t able to produce the quality podcasts that you’ve come to expect *sad face*. But we aren’t letting that deter us! So instead of your regular scheduled programme we’re going to produce an alternative, weekly podcast.

We aren’t covering albums in the same way as we have done in the past. Instead we’re going to discuss our week, what we’ve been listening too and watching. We’re going to make some recommendations and generally try to give you something to listen to if you’re stuck at home.

In this first episode we’re basically finding our feet, so bear with us. Things can only get better.

Surprise!

Genesis announced today (March 4th 2020 for those of you in the future) that they would be reforming for a tour in November and December.
Naturally, at least one of the boys was VERY excited. The other is mildly indifferent but, nevertheless, was pursuaded (with Beer) to record a short-ish episode discussing the news.
And here it is for you to enjoy.

So…if you’ve read this far you probably enjoy listening. If you do please consider supporting us by clicking on this link and contributing the price of a coffee to the running of the podcast. All donations will go towards the running cost of the website and recording equipment. Big thanks to the people who have already donated, we love you. Not in a weird way…

If you’d like to share your memories of Genesis or your opinions of the episode, you can email us at [email protected], leave a comment below or join our Facebook group. We would love to hear from you.
