Punk Tale Of Two Cities
4am BST 11th & 12th June
These days, Vivien Goldman teaches about Punk at New York University and they call her The Punk Professor. But back in the times we're speaking about, from about 1976 to 1982, when she was one of approximately two female punk rock journalists in the UK, the whole idea of teaching Punk in a university would have been laughable. Writing for what was then a thriving weekly throng of music papers, Vivien found herself embedded in the Punk community, sharing a flat with Chrissie Hynde, forming the Flying Lizards, being produced by John Lydon. She is an absolute authority on the musical, social & political impact of punk. She has also written extensively on reggae and its relationship with Punk.
Mary Anne Hobbs with Julian Cope
7am 11th June
Mary Anne is joined by Julian Cope of The Teardrop Explodes and solo fame. They discuss his childhood growing up in Wales and how the spirit of Liverpool shaped him as an artist...

As an artist, Julian has performed on over twenty studio albums and has collaborated with artists including Sun O))), Queen Elizabeth and Brain Donor. As an author, he has published both fictional and history books, plus an autobiography entitled 'Head-On'.
It'll all be on their player for a month, but probably worth a listen before they take it off :D

Many thanks for the heads up!

Especially the Julian Cope, although all of these look interesting.
