Episode 234: Magazine

This week we're discussing every album by Magazine. Led by vocalist Howard Devoto and guitarist John McGeoch (before he left to join Siouxsie and the Banshees), Magazine is one of the most underrated punk bands to come out of England in the late 70s. Their style, which was in large part characterized by prominent synths, was unlike any other band at the time. Best of all, the songs still hold up today.   Intro/Band Overview 00:00 Real Life 7:22 Secondhand Daylight 20:13 The Correct Use of Soap 33:40 Books and Movie Adaption Talk 41:42 John McGeoch's Departure 45:40 Magic, Murder and the Weather 49:33 No Thyself 1:04:27 Outro 1:14:54   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Patreon https://www.patreon.com/everyalbumever   Merch https://pandermonkey.creator-spring.com/   Mike's EP: Pander Monkey on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple,   Mike on Instagram @pandermonkey Alex on Bluesky @octatron3030 Tom on Instagram @tomosmansounds   History Tom's stuff: Music on Spotify, Apple Podcast on Spotify, YouTube Substack Website   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Mike's Picks: Real Life (1978) -- Best Album, Personal Favorite Magic, Murder and the Weather (1981) -- Worst Album, Least Favorite   Alex's Picks: Real Life (1978) -- Best Album Secondhand Daylight (1979) -- Personal Favorite The Correct Use of Soap (1980) -- Worst Album, Least Favorite   Albums we discussed this episode...
