S7E4 - Goth: The Cure (Overrated) & Xmal Deutschland (Underrated) - with Ryan Schaff
Manage episode 384075692 series 3268411
Joined by our first ever returning guest - Ryan Schaff, host of The Broken Record Player podcast - we're breaking out the eyeliner, black nail varnish and discussing what makes a band truly goth...
Ryan is a huge fan of The Cure - they're in his top five favourite bands of all time - while Fran & Babs don't exactly muster the same level of enthusiasm...can he get them more on board? Xmal Deutschland's 'Incubus Succubus' might be considered a 'goth classic', but Ryan argues that this 80's band deserve more success and recognition beyond one song - and we discuss whether singing mostly in German may have hampered their success...
You should listen to The Broken Record Player podcast - Babs has guested three times, discussing PJ Harvey's debut album Dry, Toxicity by System of a Down as well as The Chemical Brothers' Dig Your Own Hole. You should also check out Ryan's previous guest stints on Over/underrated, where he talked about grunge bands Pearl Jam and L7.
You can find the playlist for this episode on Spotify - it includes all songs from Ryan's playlist, plus bonus ones from other artists we've discussed during the episode.
