Listen "Completely Conspicuous 487: Dig for Fire (Solo Beatles-Living Colour, part 2)"
Episode Synopsis
Part 2 of my conversation with guest Brian Salvatore as we discuss musical blindspots: I dig into Paul McCartney's RAM and Brian checks out Living Colour's Time's Up. Show notes: - Brian: Glover's vocals are too showy on Reid's songs - Second half of album is more varied - Back in the days of super-long albums - Living Colour would switch styles in the middle of songs - Bands would go platinum with no radio play - Taping music off the radio - RAM was credited to Paul and Linda - Whimsy with a dark undercurrent - Homemade-sounding album recorded in an NYC studio - Critics hated it when it came out - Macca rarely plays these songs live - Next up: Living Colour's Stain and George Harrison's Brainwashed - George's problematic solo career - Here's to long rock docs Completely Conspicuous is available through the iTunes podcast directory.
