(Waiting for the) Heatwave

In this episode, we are delighted to welcome Tony Travis of Fay Ray for an interview, in which we discuss his band, the album and the song that is the title of this episode and our regular intro and outro music. Thanks to Tony for joining us.We then move on to Deacon Blue's beautifully descriptive and evocative "He Looks Like Spencer Tracy Now"; Young Marble Giants' short but stoically beautiful "Final Day" and The Jacksons' plaintive nuclear lullaby "Be Not Always".The podcast ends with our discussion of the 80s behemoth "Two Tribes" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood (Annihilation Mix). Is there a greater nuclear war song?Our accompanying playlist is updated!https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0vLjQBbJEhiDaFNOTz9snD?si=f40fdf0f2d204115https://music.apple.com/gb/playlist/bang-101-songs-about-nuclear-war-from-the-1980s/pl.u-6mo4j9KFByBgKXlKeep in touch - we love to hear from you.Instagram - bangnuclearpodcastBlue Sky - @bangpodcast.bsky.socialEmail - [email protected] - r/bangnuclearpodcastOpening and closing music - (Waiting for the) Heatwave - Fay Ray.
