In their first non-Springsteen epsiode, James and Kit take a diversion to the miserable hellscape of 1977's UK, and the sonic dirty bomb that is Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols. Expect exuberance, love, a deep dive into the nature and power and limitations of offensive art, and more swearing than normal, as befits the source material. Enjoy. Normal service will be resumed in our next episode, taking on 1980's double album behemoth, The River (which will feature a Very Special Guest).

This time out, James and Kit travel back in time to 1979 to place some ill-advised political wagers and, more importantly, check out Bruce Sprengteen (and the E-Street Band) taking some time out from the recording of The River to rock the hell out of Madison Square Gardens. It's a wild and raukous affair, as The Boss shares his 30th birthday party with an adoring crowd, and The Boss reminds us all why he is, well, The Boss. It's a first-time visit for James and I, and the love and astonsihment is very, very real. Enjoy.

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. Enjoy :)
