Known Pleasures Ep 58 - Midge Ure (Ultravox) Interview
Midge Ure's career crosses many paths. From the teen pop of Slik to the punk royalty of The Rich Kids. From the synth pioneers Visage to the synth rock of Ultravox. Stopping to help out Thin Lizzy in '79 and creating the Band Aid classic in '84, his journey has taken him around the world. Today we talk to Midge about his career, his music and everything in between.

Known Pleasures Ep 56 - Steve Kilbey (The Church) Interview
In this episode we interview the Head Of The Church, the Supreme Leader of this Guitar Driven Chapter and the Archbishop of melodic melancholy, Steve Kilbey. Steve and his band The Church have been at the forefront of the Australian music scene since the 80's and in this interview I get to know more about the physicality of band dynamics, the songwriting process and the snare sound that almost destroyed an entire album.

Known Pleasures Flexidisc - Video Killed The Radio Star
In our latest flexidisc we look into the story behind Video Killed The Radio Star. The production, the instrumentation, the arrangement and the glasses. Who were The Camera Club? How did Tina Charles fit into the story? Who exactly was Dr. Bop? We heard this on the wireless back in '79. And we've been loving it ever since.
