Word In Your Ear

著者: Mark Ellen David Hepworth and Alex Gold
  • サマリー

  • Mark Ellen and David Hepworth have been talking about and writing about music together and individually for a collective eighty years in magazines like Smash Hits, Mojo and The Word and on radio and TV programmes like "Rock On", "Whistle Test" and VH-1.


    Over thirteen years ago, when working on the late magazine The Word, they began producing podcasts. Some listeners have been kind enough to say these have been very special to them. When the magazine folded in 2012 they kept the spirit of those podcasts alive in regular Word In Your Ear evenings in which they spoke to musicians and authors in front of an audience.


    Over these years they've produced hundreds of hours of material. As of the Current Unpleasantness of 2020, they've produced yet hundreds of hours more with a little help from guests kind enough to digitally show them around their attics such as Danny Baker, Andy Partridge, Sir Tim Rice and Mark Lewisohn.

  • Screaming Jay Hawkins 75, Dave Grohl 1
    2024/09/16

    With Mark Ellen rambling in the West Country it’s left to David Hepworth to talk Alex Gold down from the ledge in the light of the Dave Grohl news and discuss:


    •⁠ ⁠just how many offers come the way of rich and famous rock stars

    •⁠ ⁠whether his recent admission will in any way detract from the most winning smile in rock

    •⁠ ⁠is this an opportunity for Jon Bon Jovi to step up?

    •⁠ ⁠how a quick word from Taylor Swift is worth all the five star reviews in the world

    •⁠ ⁠Nick Lowe’s infallibly entertaining story of Jet Harris and seven pints of Kaliber

    •⁠ ⁠When they organised a reunion of all the progeny of Screaming Jay Hawkins

    •⁠ ⁠... and the greatest music book ever with Patreon supporter Ed Newman

  • One Day author David Nicholls – prog rock, Live Aid and making tapes for girls
    2024/09/13

    The Netflix series of David Nicholls’ worldwide hit novel One Day was Top Ten in 89 countries and he’s been heavily involved in its soundtrack album, a process as enjoyable, he says, as devising the compilation tape the fictional Emma made for Dexter in 1989 featuring the Smiths, Prefab Sprout and Public Enemy. We talk to him here about the glorious pitfalls of using pop music to broadcast your personality. All bases covered, from the Geoff Love Orchestra to Joy Orbison, along with …

    … prog rock drummer replacement fantasies.

    … when a compilation tape is a Valentine’s card.

    … music as a way of telegraphing a time.

    … what the 1812 Overture does to a five year-old.

    … the eternal impact of Shipbuilding and Running Up That Hill.

    … “punk terrified me”.

    … classic male musical taste paranoia.

    … memories of Live Aid – Bowie onstage, Kiki Dee in the car park.

    … buying a knock-off cassette of Sgt Pepper.

    … remembering every note of a record you haven’t heard for 50 years.

    … and the greatest record of all time!

  • Nick Lowe – war stories, wise decisions and the event in 1970 that made him think again
    2024/09/12

    Old friend of the podcast, Nick Lowe has just released his 15th solo album, Indoor Safari, and he’s about to tour with Los Straitjackets. This absorbing conversation looks back at 60 years onstage and takes in the following …

    … the secret of a long career.

    … why he resolved “not to get that famous again”.

    … touring Germany aged 15 in Brinsley Schwarz’s dad’s Dormobile.

    … the Small Faces at the village hall in Hornchurch.

    … to the Six Bells for seven pints with “photographer for all occasions” Jet Harris.

    … playing Eddie Cochran and Gene Vincent in the school band and wrestling with the chords to Cliff’s Living Doll.

    … Kippington Lodge at Ally Pally, New Year’s Eve 1968, supporting Joe Cocker, the Bonzos and Amen Corner - “the Grand Canyon with a roof”.

    … 270 dog walks with his son Roy during Covid and the things they discussed.

    … the unique magic of working with “America’s premier instrumental surf band”.

    … how ‘I Knew The Bride When She Used To Rock And Roll’ is now a wedding staple.

    … and the sole mention of ‘freakbeat’ vendors the Fleur De Lys in the history of our podcast.

    Nick’s tour starts at the London Palladium on September 24:
