Steve Coogan plays Tony Wilson and follows his work in late 1970s and early 1980s post-punk with such bands as Joy Division, New Order, and Happy Mondays. Consistently breaking the fourth wall tied together with Coogan’s brand of snark, the story of Manchester in the 70s is a pivotal piece in the history of modern music.Other topics include Poor Things and Yorgos Lanthimos, Russell Mulcahy movies, True Detective, the idea of “selling out”, personal punk and post-punk influences, Oasis drama, the work of Billy Childish, and more British rock.Songs of the WeekShe’s Electric by OasisWe’er Gone by Thee HeadcoatsWild Man by Thee HeadcoateesRemainders Jukebox PlaylistWebsiteFacebookInstagramYouTubeTwitter
