I'm a Rock'n'Roll Star: Alan McGee's Creation Stories

By


This episode of our I'm a Rock'n'Roll Star series - the seventh so far - is a little different than most, in that it focuses on a man, Alan McGee, best-known as a record label owner, not a musician. McGee was in fact a musician (pictured above right with his 1980s indie-pop band Biff Bang Pow!) but he made his name as the notorious, outspoken head of the U.K. label Creation Records, which introduced the world to many of the best indie-pop, shoegaze, and Britpop bands of the 1980s and 1990s: The Jesus and Mary Chain, Primal Scream, My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Ride, Felt, The Pastels, Teenage Fanclub, and Oasis, to name but a few.

Here's the playlist for "Alan McGee's Creation Stories: Riots, Raves and Running a Label," which was broadcast on Saturday, March 14, 2015:

Swervedriver - "Red Queen Arms Race"
Biff Bang Pow! - "Love's Going Out of Fashion"
Slaughter Joe - "I'll Follow You Down"
The Loft - "Up the Hill and Down the Slope"
Television Personalities - "Part Time Punks"
The Jesus and Mary Chain - "In a Hole"

I'm a Rock'n'Roll Star: Peter Hook's Unknown Pleasures: Inside Joy Division

By


For this Spring semester, we've decide to focus on a new themed series that we're calling I'm a Rock'N'Roll Star. The basic premise is that every week we'll take a musician's autobiography or memoir and soundtrack it, playing songs or artists that are central to the author's narrative in some way. (This is similar to the "Rock Lit" series we did a few years ago, where we soundtracked notable books about rock/punk history. That's always been a favorite series of ours, and one that we continue to receive comments and questions about to this day. Eventually we'll get audio of those shows posted to the archives, too.)

Here's the playlist for the first installment in our I'm a Rock'n'Roll Star series, "Peter Hook's Unknown Pleasures: Inside Joy Division," which was broadcast on Saturday, January 24, 2015:

Joy Division - "Warsaw"
Sex Pistols - "No Fun (Live)"
Iggy Pop - "Funtime"
David Bowie - "Warszawa"
Throbbing Gristle - "We Hate You (Little Girls)"
Kraftwerk - "Trans Europe Express"
Joy Division - "Exercise One"
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark - "Electricity"
The Buzzcocks - "You Say You Don't Love Me"
The Stranglers - "5 Minutes"
Joy Division - "Digital"
Section 25 - "Girls Don't Count"
New Order - "Ceremony"
