Oh yes, I remember that. Great guy, Kris. And she did have a point.

I also remember her brother, the excellent writer Joseph O'Connor, offering to send the pope a roll of sticky tape ...

Poor Sinéad! What did she do to deserve that?

This was actually my introduction to Maiden, so the album versions of the songs on NOTB and POM in particular sounded rather tame by comparison!

Thanks for reminding me that I need to give this another spin or ten ...

Another fittingly excellent episode on what is arguably the best live album of all time!

On today's episode I am going to take a look at the album “Live After Death” by Iron Maiden, the band’s debut live studio album released on October 14, 1985.

If you haven't heard this podcast and need a shot of music-induced euphoria, this episode is a great place to start. (The first episode would be better, but hey ...)

This week's stand out, standalone episode of The Sound Of is all about The Sound Of Independence!

I design all these album covers myself btw. I feel like I put more effort into them than the podcast itself.

Love this series from Ciaran. All of his guest are fantastic to listen to. Great stories, great songs. It’s a terrific concept for a podcast.

FYI my Sound of Independence is “Rock My Nights Away” by The Michael Schenker Group.

She does calm down a little. The first episode in particular is quite manic and the whole thing settles down soon afterwards.

Yes, I think it was me - if not directly then certainly on our podcast @lordofaddersblack.bsky.social.

Without a doubt my favourite series ever. And you will never see a more beautifully executed finale.

Glad you're loving it too, Ciarán!

Yes, I wasn't serious - it is definitely safer and more fuel-efficient to have season-specific tyres.

But nonetheless it was a pleasant surprise to learn that, through my forgetfulness, I saved myself a few hours and a few euros today.

I've already set a reminder for April!

Top tip for saving time and money:

Forget to change your winter tyres to summer ones so that, when it comes to changing them back to winter tyres, you find that you've saved yourself a two-way journey and the installation costs. Hurrah!

Tune in next week for more life hacks!

Viele Leute dachten damals - oder denken vielleicht immer noch - dass Debbie Harry "Blondie" ist und nicht, dass die Band so heißt.

They should do a Colombian remake of Scooby Doo where the gang brings Pablo Escobar to justice and he says "And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you Medellín kids"

And this, kids, is why commas are important.
