Christmas and Easter nihilists
In which James and Kit are joined by drummer (in Kit’s new band, no less) friend of the show and lifelong Bruce fan John Busvine, to discuss The Boss’s seminal 1978 studio album Darkness On The Edge Of Town. For John, it’s a conversation over 30 years in the making, and it’s a privilege to get his perspective on an album that’s formed part of the soundtrack of his life.

In which James Slater-Murphy and Kit Power begin their deep dive into the studio albums of Columbia recording artist Bruce Springsteen.
With a startling lack of originality, we start at the beginning, taking in 1973s Greetings From Asbury Park, NJ. There’s a bit of initial amused bafflement that this is the origin story for one of popular music’s biggest and most reliable stadium fillers, but we also discover a lot to enjoy and ponder, especially on side 2, as well as some signposts towards future greatness. A hell of an enjoyable start to a keenly anticipated journey.

Guess who’s back. It’s your favourite podcast about the UK Top 40 Charts. Pop Could Never Save Us. This week, we’re officially in the 90s; a time where both hosts were actually alive.

I hope you’re all suitably happy with yourselves, Pop Musicians. You’re pushing one of our hosts towards a breakdown. Floating down her own Congo river of music aimed at children, Ms. Boson eventually emerges from the work of Taylor Swift, Mimi Webb, and Meghan Trainor (the horror, the horror) unexpectedly triumphant and with the sunny future of Players by Coi Leray, with her faithful friend, James, at her side and steering the boat, disagreeing that the torturous madness is all that bad.
The new episode of POP COULD NEVER SAVE US is from the glittery world of 1973! Wizzard! Sweet! Suzi! Bowie! Lou Reed! Alice Cooper! Nonces! Ferdinand Marcos is deposed on live TV, and we are fascinated by a homegrown UK reggae playground shitslinger. …
