Announcing Singles Going Steady: a Podcast Announcing Singles Going Steady: A Podcast About the podcast What makes a great single? Singles Going Steady will search for the answer as it highlights classic singles from the punk, new wave, alternative, and indie scenes and related contemporary singles. These are singles that the hosts (at least one of them!) love and find notable and believe listeners will too. The podcast will examine the music, the art and artifact of the object, the context of its release, and the significance of the recording in the history of music. A bit music appreciation, a bit music history, a bit personal memoir, each episode will explore the lineage of a musical moment. Sometimes, creators behind the recordings will be guests, sharing secrets and insights behind the birth of the single. The podcast includes reviews and recommendations of related books and videos so listeners can slake their thirst for even more information about featured artists. But mostly, this is art appreciation you can dance to! “I’m finding the album art explanations fascinating. Y’all are knowledgeable af!” – Jess, a beta listener Singles Going Steady is a podcast started in late 2018 by Zub Records’ Adrienne Meddock and Steve McGowan. The show is recorded in both Greenville, South Carolina and Durham, North Carolina. Steve and A wanted to share and explore the magic of pop perfection that is the single. They both are avid record collectors. On the podcast, they examine and celebrate singles from their favorite artists. They also share stories of shows they played, saw, booked, or regrettably missed with many of these bands. ​ About the hosts In 1980, Stephen McGowan’s cousin Ross visited him in the US, bringing with him a collection of ​ ​ revolutionary singles from Scotland, including classic Buzzcocks. Hearing those records changed Steve’s life . … After meeting through an interstate high school Model UN, Cuban delegate Steve sent PLO representative Adrienne Meddock mixtapes loaded with these singles, hooking her, changing her life... ​ ​ Eventually, Meddock joined Steve’s band, The Beef People, and together they started Zub Records, an Indie music production company that booked a weekly national touring new music showcase in [email protected] or [email protected] ​ ​ Greenville, SC, ran a sound reinforcement company, and published a monthly ‘zine, Zub Alert, ​ promoting it all. After an intensive musical and personal partnership through the 80s, Meddock and McGowan parted ways in the early 90s. Steve has remained active on the music scene in Greenville, especially in live sound engineering. Adrienne has been active in the area of intellectual property studies. Now, on the heels of what they have termed “a quarter-century palate cleanser,” they have resumed their musical partnership and are eager to talk with each other and their listeners about the records they love. They have started the Singles Going Steady Podcast to explore wonderful tracks from their favorite bands. They will share their lifelong passion for all things Zub (their friend’s neologism for super cool) and hope you will listen and find the enthusiasm contagious. The Namesake The podcast name pays homage to the paragon of single collection releases, the Buzzcocks’ 1979 Singles ​ Going Steady album. If the podcast has a guiding spirit, it is to celebrate the legacy of that record. A ​ great overview of the album is available at Pitchfork. ​ The Bona Fides Meddock (WXYC, WXDU) and McGowan (WMRB, WPLS) both have extensive experience in on-air radio presentation and both have published music commentary. Steve ran a recording studio and a music store for many years, and still is a live and recording sound engineer. Meddock has over 25 years public presentation experience on music and art intellectual property issues. She briefly attended the School of Design at NC State and studied art and design history at UNC-CH.· ​ Listen Stream or download Singles Going Steady Podcast at zubrecords.com (click on the podcast logo), or on iTunes, Stitcher, Rodio Public, Spotify, TuneIn, PlayerFM, CastBox.fm, PocketCast, and Google Play Music.

  • BUZZCOCKS Christmas 1976. Manchester Punk Pioneers
    BUZZCOCKS Christmas 1976. Manchester punk pioneers Buzzcocks formed by Howard Devoto and Pete Shelley have recorded and are just about to have phenomenal success with the groundbreaking, Spiral Scratch EP. Two months later, as the release starts to take off, Howard Devoto leaves. A quick reshuffle and Pete Shelley takes over lead vocals. Over the years, the lineups change. Only Pete Shelley and Steve Diggle remain constant members of this iconic band. The methodology remains constant too: short, sharp slices of sublime guitar punk pop music, revered by a global army of fans and vitally influential to legions of bands coming up behind. Flash-forward to 2018. Buzzcocks have been throttling back a bit, being a bit more exclusive but still very busy. The band signs their catalogue to Domino Records and announce a landmark performance of “Singles Going Steady” at the Royal Albert Hall for June 2019 with The Skids and Penetration. It looks as if Buzzcocks are going to enjoy some well deserved and high profile recognition of their contribution to British culture. On 6th December, that bright prospect is thrown into darkness with Pete's tragic and unexpected death. The Albert Hall show is recast as a tribute to Pete Shelley with remaining members Steve Diggle, Chris Remington, and Danny Farrant, joined by original band members, 'special guest' vocalists and guitarists. For now and into the future Buzzcocks will continue with Steve on lead vocals/guitar, Chris Remington on Bass, and Danny Farrant on Drums with an added guitarist. Commitments will be honoured; you can't hold a good band down.

Edgy stuff at the time more for the implied subject matter than the music behind it. Although I never warmed to the idea of a Petey Shiney Synthi Shelley, it’s not the radical departure it seems on the surface. Strip away the synthesizers, speed things up a little and you’ve got the makings of another buzzsaw Buzzcocks classic. The B side’s even better (“Guess I Must Have Been In Love With Myself,” a Buzzcocks title if ever there was). As for the lyrical meaning behind “Homosapiens,” you’ll find the answer (maybe) in Mick Sinclair’s 1982 interview with Mr. Shelley.

  • Send Cash, Checks, Or Money Orders Made Payable to “MUTANT POP RECORDS.” QTY
    It’s the incredible free! MutantMutant PopPop AC Mailorder Catalog Well, Snorkel Bob and I survived our June trip around North America. We logged about 8500 miles and saw a lot of cool stuff, including a June 19 show in NYC featuring DIRT BIKE ANNIE and THE KUNG FU MONKEYS. It was a ton of fun! I’ll blab about the trip next time. First I need to try to sell you some records to keep this crappy label alive! The new Mutant Pop single is a faboo EP by Seattle’s amazing WANNA-BES. Originally from Longview, Washing- ton, home of fellow pop-punkers THE JIMMIES, THE WANNA-BES came into the MP orbit via James from MORAL CRUX, who heard them and urged them to send me a tape. Whew! THE WANNA- BES are definitely one of the most exciting three-chord bands doing their thing today! They have a simple formula, so simple that it’s brilliant: instead of trying to ape Joey Ramone’s voice, Chris Workman and the gang melds the enor- mous RAMONES poppy punk guitar sound with high quality, sweet vocals that sound like they would have been at home in the 1960s invasion of British pop. Not to far afield of GENERATION X or MORAL CRUX or some other punk band that can actually sing, in other words...Very crisp, clean vocals and harmonies over a big guitar roar. Like duh, why hasn’t anyone thought of doing that be- fore? They sound absolutely fantastic, appealing to fans of the classic three- chord punk sound without coming across like lame copycat rehash that has been heard five dozen times before..
