Thanks to Tony for joining us.We then move on to Deacon Blue's beautifully descriptive and evocative "He Looks Like Spencer Tracy Now"; Young Marble Giants' short but stoically beautiful "Final Day" and The Jacksons' plaintive nuclear lullaby "Be Not Always".The podcast ends with our discussion of the 80s behemoth "Two Tribes" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood (Annihilation Mix).

  • Nuclear Melodies for Atomic Crimes
    In our 2nd episode, we start by paying tribute to the great Rick Buckler and discuss The Jam's 1980 classic "Going Underground"; then we move on to the calm and reflective "Glad It's All Over" by Captain Sensible; a lesser known but vibrant 80's tune "Fall Out" by Data; then Tom Robinson's beautiful but melancholic "War Baby". Our final tune is the unforgettable Prince classic "1999" - who even knew it was a nuclear war song?Thanks to all who have listened to and subscribed to Episode 1. Do keep in touch with us.

Dave tell us why he made the list in the first place and Pank recalls, with fondness, "Not the 9 O'Clock News".We hope you enjoy our first podcast.
