Bye.
Erika ElizabethHOST
That was Orange Juice and Breakfast Time, the B-side, to their Simply Thrilled Honey 7-inch on postcard circa 1980.
Erika ElizabethHOST
Before that was Famous Mammals from the Bay Area and a song called In Any Case from their brand new LP.
Erika ElizabethHOST
It was a pleasant modern fantasy.
Jon RichardsonHOST
so we'll have a track.
Jon RichardsonHOST
We've got a short trail and then we've got I Can't Help Myself by Orange Juice.
Jon RichardsonHOST
Let's see.
Jon RichardsonHOST
And then we'll
Matt FordeGUEST
find some means of slicing this pie.
Matt FordeGUEST
Let's get it on.
Jon RichardsonHOST
it's i can't help myself by orange juice fading into the distance uh rounding off uh jumper jerks generally accepted as a good fashion item so you're wrong in the studio and i i was told i look dashing in my shampoo um now i've got the pie i've got into it it smells incredible it smells
Matt FordeGUEST
good you know what my real fear was that people were going to smell it because i've been carrying that around in a shoebox for the last two days
Norman BlakeGUEST
So that was all happening when I, uh, was, uh, young.
Norman BlakeGUEST
And, uh, but in Glasgow, there was a label called Postcard Records that formed in 1980, and they had bands like Orange Juice, um, Aztec Camera, Josef K, uh, and The Go Between did a record on, on Postcard-
Matty CHOST
Oh, that's right
Norman BlakeGUEST
... which is really great.
Norman BlakeGUEST
But they were, that was a big influence.
Norman BlakeGUEST
And the, the band Orange Juice, uh, um, so Edwin Collins, the artist Edwin Collins, was in the band Orange Juice, and I, I really loved them, and I, I bought all of their early singles and went to see them.
Norman BlakeGUEST
And they had a kind of different take.
Norman BlakeGUEST
They were kind of, they were sort of post-punk, but they were, um, they were s- so they, they had an indie aesthetic, uh, but they also, they, so they, they liked, you know, the Mekons and The Gang of Four and all that kind of stuff, and the Buzzcocks.
Carl NewmanGUEST
They had lovely houses and different places, and yeah, there was a good scene, as you know.
Carl NewmanGUEST
I think what I loved as well was that the universities around, like Leicester, De Mont, I mean, I used to see people like John Martin there and Orange Juice and really good bands and things.
Carl NewmanGUEST
And Japan I saw twice at the De Montfort Hall.
Carl NewmanGUEST
But there was just great venues and a really great scene for the music, wasn't there? And it was very eclectic as well at that time, you know, with the different genres.
Norman BlakeGUEST
Um, ooh.
Norman BlakeGUEST
Well, I'm gonna say, um, because the first one that springs to mind would be Orange Juice.
Allan GlenHOST
Right.
Norman BlakeGUEST
They really got into the Postcard thing.
Norman BlakeGUEST
But, um, along came Postcard, this indie label from Glasgow.
Allan GlenHOST
Yeah.
Norman BlakeGUEST
A- and, uh, I bought those, uh, those records, and yeah, no, I really, uh, I saw Orange Juice a number of times, and I really got into them, so-
Allan GlenHOST
And was-
BrianGUEST
Like I mentioned with the Heaven and Hell in 1980 album.
BrianGUEST
you know you know i i grew up thinking that dio was like back status because that was the voice that i knew um so my lowest rated for this year i kind of have two but i this one was suggested to me in my thousand one albums it was it was you know sent to me by this app um which i i currently hate this app i had to stop it for a while because was either sending me techno music or late 70s generic rock that i just mentioned a minute ago i don't like so but it also sent me this album um which i didn't like at all um band is called orange juice and the album's called rip it up i have no idea i never heard of any of these things I never heard of Orange Juice.
BrianGUEST
I don't know why this is listed as one of the 1001 albums you must hear before you die.
BrianGUEST
I have no idea.
BrianGUEST
I'm sure Gavin's going to listen to this and he's going to tell me a whole great thing about Orange Juice.
BrianGUEST
I have no idea.
BrianGUEST
It was awful.
10 MINS LATER
BrianGUEST
Just by hearing the name, I thought they were something else.
Justin CurrieGUEST
The UK, I think possibly because of postcard records.
Justin CurrieGUEST
She put together a little fanzine and she kind of got in touch with the Orange Juice postcard people.
Justin CurrieGUEST
And then she heard one of her appeal sessions on the radio and wrote this lovely letter saying, I don't know if you've got management, but I'm a big fan and my theory is that managers should be fans too.
Justin CurrieGUEST
And we were so impressed with this letter, we phoned her up and then immediately hired her as our manager.
Paul TiagiGUEST
As Justin said, she was a kind of larger than larger than life character.
Paul TiagiGUEST
Brazen Californian.
Paul TiagiGUEST
who became very attracted to orange juice and postcard records and decided to come over here to the UK to bask in that culture.
Paul TiagiGUEST
She knew Edwin.
Dave SchneiderHOST
No, o-one more before that.
Dave SchneiderHOST
John Cale, Andalusia, and we started things off with Untitled Melody by Orange Juice.
Dave SchneiderHOST
Um, great band, uh, from Scotland.
Dave SchneiderHOST
And I'm, I'm glad my buddy Eric is driving in, in Groton, Connecticut.
Paul LesterHOST
I was, I was just delighted that in the, uh, the post-punk section by John Coleman, collecting post-punk, um, my beloved Postcard releases, Hove Interview, and they've got quite nice numbers next to them.
Paul LesterHOST
My Orange Juice's, my Joseph K-
Daryl EasleaHOST
Yeah
Paul LesterHOST
...
Daryl EasleaHOST
Well, you know, uh, it...
Daryl EasleaHOST
Yes, it is and it isn't.
Daryl EasleaHOST
I mean, it's fascinating how those prices, certainly that first Orange Juice single just keeps going up.
Paul LesterHOST
Mm.
Gavin MegawHOST
And it's a band called Walt Disco, a six-piece band from Glasgow who do a mix of sort of post-punk, New Romantic, electro pop-type stuff.
Gavin MegawHOST
So if you think Bowie mixed with Roxy Music, Orange Juice, and Franz Ferdinand, that's the sort of feel of it, and it's brilliant.
Gavin MegawHOST
And I love finding new music.
Gavin MegawHOST
It's probably not new for many people out there, but it was certainly new for me, and I just loved it.
