    Andy McCluskey (Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark - OMD) Interview

    In this bonus episode, we’re joined by Andy McCluskey — co-founder, songwriter and creative force behind Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark — for a deep, chronological conversation spanning more than four decades of music, technology and ideas.Andy takes us back to his earliest relationship with sound, growing up on the Wirral in 1970s Britain, discovering Kraftwerk, and becoming fascinated not just with songs, but with texture, machinery and the possibilities of noise itself. From The Id to that first OMD gig at Eric’s in 1978 — complete with a tape recorder as a band member — we explore the Liverpool and Manchester scenes that shaped the group, including those formative early shows alongside Joy Division.We dive into Andy’s long-standing creative partnership with Paul Humphreys, the DIY ethos that defined OMD’s early experiments, and how home-built synths, tape machines and limitations helped forge a totally new musical language. Andy reflects on the evolution from analogue to digital, the emotional pull of certain machines, and why OMD have always been more interested in pushing technology forward than chasing nostalgia.Across the episode, we take deep dives into key albums — from the self-titled debut and Architecture & Morality, through the misunderstood brilliance of Dazzle Ships, the commercial shifts of the late ’80s, the Sugar Tax era, and the band’s eventual disbandment in the mid-'90s. Andy talks about what led to the band’s reformation in 2005, and the creative renaissance that followed with albums like English Electric, The Punishment of Luxury, and 2023’s Bauhaus Staircase.We also explore OMD’s strong visual identity and its deep ties to Liverpool and the Wirral, Andy’s relationship with designers and artists, and the importance of place in shaping both sound and imagery. Beyond OMD, Andy reflects on The Motor Museum studio, his work writing for other artists during the late ’90s and 2000s, and what he learned from stepping into the world of pop songwriting.We finish by talking about touring then and now, playing to multi-generational audiences, what still excites Andy creatively, and the advice he’d give to young artists starting out today — plus who he’s listening to right now.A huge thank you to Andy McCluskey for his generosity, insight and time.The Dead Air Records podcast is hosted by Marc and Jess.

    Brian "Nasher" Nash (Frankie Goes To Hollywood) Interview

    For our first Christmas bonus episode, we’re joined by guitarist, songwriter and Liverpool icon Nasher — a key member of Frankie Goes to Hollywood.Nasher takes us back to his early musical roots and the energy of Liverpool in the late 70s and early 80s, before guiding us through the formation of FGTH and the club scene that shaped the band’s sound and style. We dive into the breakthrough of Relax and Two Tribes, the cultural shockwaves of 1984, and the stories behind the bold visuals, the BBC ban, and the unapologetic identity the band projected at a pivotal moment in UK history.We explore the making of Welcome to the Pleasuredome, working with Trevor Horn, and the new deluxe reissues bringing the album to a new generation. Nasher also reflects on the heavier direction of Liverpool, the pressures of global success, and the tensions that eventually pulled the band apart.We round things off with his solo work, songwriting, the artists inspiring him today, and his advice for new bands finding their voice.A huge thank you to Nasher for sharing his time, honesty and stories with us.The Dead Air Records podcast is hosted by Marc and Jess.

    The 25 Most Overrated Albums?! The Beatles, Nirvana, Radiohead

    We’re taking the bait this week with The Independent's controversial article: The 25 Most Overrated Albums. From The Beatles to Nirvana, Madonna to Radiohead, it’s a list guaranteed to get people talking. We go album by album to see what we agree with, what we absolutely don’t, and who has no business being on there. And because we couldn’t resist, we’ve added in some of our own picks for albums we think might just be a little overrated… 👀💿 Across The Counter Each week, we take you “across the counter” to share something weird, wonderful, or unexpected that’s landed in the shop. This time we’re staying Liverpool-themed:First up is Rutherford Chang’s We Buy White Albums – an art project that turns endless pressings of The Beatles’ White Album into something obsessive, playful, and a little haunting: Then we dust off a true curio: Twist & Samba, a 1986 compilation by the Sefton Area Musicians and Bands Association. Recorded at Benson St. Studios, it captures a group of young, mainly unemployed Liverpool musicians putting their own stamp on the city’s musical story.✨ Liverpool SpotlightIn our Liverpool Spotlight, we shine a light on the artists and scenes that make the city’s music culture so rich right now.This week we’re talking Blue Jean, an indie/alt artist weaving warm, fuzzy guitars, spooky organ tones, and a hazy 60s vibe that recalls Nancy Sinatra and The Doors. Her 2023 EP Little Intricacies is well worth a listen, and she’s live at Kazimier Stockroom on 8 October, supporting Cosmic Crooner.We’re also buzzing about Live Jazz in Liverpool, a brand-new Instagram page that pulls together daily jazz listings across the region. From Petit Café Du Coin to District, Fredericks, and even out-of-town spots like Prescot, it’s fast becoming the go-to for Liverpool jazz heads.Hot takes, local treasures, and the magic of music collecting — that’s what we’re here for.The Dead Air Records podcast is hosted by Marc and Jess.

    Records My Partner Hates: 10 Albums Banished to Room 101

    This week it’s personal. Inspired by the classic TV format Room 101, we’re taking a long, hard look at our own record shelves and deciding which albums deserve eternal banishment. Ten records enter, only our grudges decide who leaves. From big-name albums that never clicked, to overhyped classics we can’t stand, to the odd record we’ve simply heard one too many times — nothing is safe.From Jess’s savage (and controversial) takedown of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (and Billy Corgan in general), to Marc’s brutal betrayal of Pet Sounds, we’re pulling no punches.Do you share a record collection with your partner? Which albums would you send packing to Room 101? Let us know in the comments – we’d love to hear your picks (and arguments).Across the CounterEvery week in the shop, something comes across the counter that makes us stop and go: oh yeah, that’s special. This week, our two heavyweight picks are:R.E.M. – Live at the Olympia in Dublin: five nights, 39 tracks, and the band inviting fans into their rehearsal space mid-Accelerate. A deluxe set with 4LPs, 2CDs, a DVD documentary (This Is Not a Show), plus booklet and poster.Oasis – 25th Anniversary editions: silver-vinyl reissues of their landmark albums, remastered from the original tapes by Owen Morris. For Be Here Now, it’s the first time the songs don’t just sound like they were recorded through a hangover — the detail finally cuts through the wall of noise.The Dead Air Records podcast is hosted by Marc and Jess.

    How It Started vs How It’s Going

    In this week’s episode - the penultimate of season one - we’re getting personal. We’re taking it back to where it all began: a job Marc hated, a tough mental health journey, selling records from the back of our car, and the leap of faith that led to opening our shop. Fast forward to today, and we’re just a few weeks away from celebrating two years of Dead Air Records on Suffolk Street. We talk about the challenges of running an independent record shop - from launching in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis to surviving a 10-month road closure, the arrival of Rough Trade, and navigating a male-dominated industry. We also reflect on the risks we took along the way - and why they were 100% worth it.Most importantly, this episode is a thank you. To everyone who has supported us, believed in us, and been part of this journey - we wouldn’t be here without you.Plus:🔹 Across the Counter – this week’s grails are a first-press of Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon and Aphex Twin’s Drukqs.🔹 Record Store Day 2025 – what’s on our wishlist and where you should be buying your records.🔹 Liverpool’s Record Store Map – a brand-new project we’ve been quietly building with Dig Vinyl and 81 Renshaw, now ready to launch!The Dead Air Records podcast is hosted by Marc and Jess.

    Ranking Radiohead: Worst to Best

    Maybe it was the fact that we were both under the weather, or maybe it was our wildly different takes on the best and worst Radiohead album… or perhaps Jess still hasn’t recovered from losing the 1997 vs 2007 battle. Either way, Episode 8 is our sassiest (and most controversial) yet.We’re ranking Radiohead’s albums from best to worst - do we get it right, or are we completely off the mark?
