Known Pleasures Flexidisc - Cloudland Ballroom

This is a personal one. A quick look at the history of one of my favourite music venues in my home town of Brisbane in Queensland. 

Known Pleasures Flexidisc - I Don't Like Mondays

Can you clap in time to the I Don't Like Mondays intro? Clearly Patrick can't.
In our latest Flexidisc we try to dismantle the classic Boomtown Rats song and try to work out what makes it tick.
And the reason? Well, there are no reasons.

Known Pleasures Ep50 - Best Of Compilation

This is a compilation of a few of our favourite moments from the first 7 years of the Known Pleasures Podcast.

Known Pleasures Ep 49 - New Order

‘Play high, Hooky! Play high!’ Ian Curtis had been Joy Division’s conductor and lightning rod, giving his crucial nod of approval to Peter Hook’s upper-register bass sound and pulling the strings elsewhere. In May 1980, though, after Ian’s death, the renamed New Order faced an uphill battle. How they not only survived, but thrived spectacularly, is one of the great redemptive stories of rock and roll.
