Nathan HindmarshHOST
which ones those are? Welcome to the Jungle, Guns N' Roses, something like that.
Paul DempseyGUEST
I mean, on the last tour I was throwing in, I did like Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole, which maybe not everyone knew that song.
Paul DempseyGUEST
I've done songs by sort of, I guess, underground kind of, you know, punk bands.
Paul DempseyGUEST
So I don't mind throwing something in that I love it so much I want to introduce the audience to it.
Joseph MillsonGUEST
I mean, even if I didn't know him, it's just the most extraordinarily beautiful kind of...
Joseph MillsonGUEST
He gets compared to people like Lloyd Cole and I don't know who else.
Joseph MillsonGUEST
It's kind of slightly more prefab Sprout kind of vibe.
Joseph MillsonGUEST
Very singer-songwritery, but with a slightly uplifting...
Sean KapstickHOST
He worked with Robert Quine, who was the ex-Voy Voids, and also played with Lou.
Sean KapstickHOST
And he produced Lloyd Cole.
Sean KapstickHOST
Oh, very nice.
Sean KapstickHOST
Matthew Sweet.
Sean KapstickHOST
Sorry.
Sean KapstickHOST
I should have gone that deep because I was looking at it.
Sean KapstickHOST
No. He's done a fair bit of stuff with Lloyd Cole.
Sean KapstickHOST
He produced Matthew Sweet's Girlfriend.
Tony FletcherGUEST
Right under this one, there's a couple of covers he did at the end.
Tony FletcherGUEST
Lloyd Cole.
Barney HoskinsHOST
Yes.
Tony FletcherGUEST
And before that, I think Cocteau Twins.
ChrisGUEST
Cause like Elvis, you can kind of do the piss.
ChrisGUEST
Lloyd Cole, you can slightly take the piss out of David Bowie, but I couldn't, I just couldn't figure out a way in which he sings.
ChrisGUEST
It's a way to, Oh, you know how he sounds.
ChrisGUEST
He sounds a bit like this.
Mark GuidiPANELIST
It's a brilliant idea, Paul, and long overdue.
Mark GuidiPANELIST
I was speaking to Bill, I was at a Lloyd Cole concert with him a few weeks ago and he's right up for this.
Mark GuidiPANELIST
He's a top man in the music industry and he'll make sure it's a roaring success.
Paul CooneyHOST
Is that a shout out, Lulu?
RyanHOST
She didn't get to make the record, but she did sing back up when Dusty transformed it into a hit.
RyanHOST
Also in the set, Camera Obscura with Lloyd, I'm Ready to be Heartbroken.
RyanHOST
The title is a direct response to Lloyd Cole and the commotion's 1984 song, Are You Ready to be Heartbroken? And we opened the set with the Stone Ponies and Different Drum, which was written by Michael Nesmith in 1964 before he became one of the Monkees.
RyanHOST
The Greenbrier boys were the first to record it as a bluegrass number.
RyanHOST
Nesmith later offered it to the Monkees, but the TV show's producers rejected it because they didn't think it sounded like a Monkees song.
Sanjeev KohliGUEST
properly biting political stuff i mean that that one he did with curtis mayfield i mean my god it's like staggered to the heart it's fantastic yeah so i love that counterpoint i guess the blue-eyed socialist soul kind of thing
IanHOST
Do you know, there's not really a lot of indie on this album, but there's that wee section on side three where you've got Susie and the Banshees and Lloyd Cole and the Commotions.
IanHOST
I mean, it's not indie by any stretch of the imagination, but it's about as guitar-y as this album gets.
Sanjeev KohliGUEST
So is it Brand New Friend? Which Lloyd Cole song is it? It's Lost Weekend.
Sanjeev KohliGUEST
Lost Weekend, right, okay.
Sanjeev KohliGUEST
I mean, all great tunes.
Sanjeev KohliGUEST
I mean, my favourite, actually, Lloyd Cole tune is Are You Ready To Be Heartbroken? Oh, yeah.
Sanjeev KohliGUEST
I love his version, but I also really love Sandy Shaw's version.
Jim SalvesonHOST
How did it differ to playing to your followers?
Mark LipdropGUEST
First of all, we were really lucky to be sandwiched between Lloyd Cole from Lloyd Cole and the Commotions and Biss, two really successful bands.
Mark LipdropGUEST
And then there's us in the middle of an eight o'clock slot.
Mark LipdropGUEST
And we were thinking, why? But people stuck around because Tim's Diner has got such a good reputation and people like everything that's on there.
Martin RamsayHOST
They did just that.
Martin RamsayHOST
Joining me to discuss it is the author, journalist and bassist from Lloyd Cole and the Commotions and, ironically, the Bluebells.
Martin RamsayHOST
It's, of course, Lawrence Donegan.
Martin RamsayHOST
Welcome back to Innocent Dormer, Lawrence.
36 MINS LATER
Lawrence DoneganGUEST
It's just a case of how many.
Lawrence DoneganGUEST
But I do remember that, by that point in the season, going to that game, we all met up in the town.
Lawrence DoneganGUEST
I said, Lloyd Cole was with us.
Lawrence DoneganGUEST
We took him.
