Just saw one of those "they wouldn't make Blazing Saddles today" posts. Of course they wouldn't it's a fucking western.

An excellent listen on this baffling insane masterpiece- DEATH TO MING!!!

Start your week with a Flash ⚡ – listen to part one of our podcast episode on this horror-coded kids’ classic. bit.ly/3JzbZ7p
Four-image collage featuring scenes and references from Flash Gordon (1980). Top left: a woman in ornate red-and-gold armour aiming a ray gun. Top right: a blond man wearing a white “FLASH” T-shirt lies on the ground with a gold glove gripping his neck. Bottom left: a performer in a “FLASH” T-shirt sings passionately on stage. Bottom right: a bald man with a pointed beard and golden costume stares menacingly. A figure wearing a gold metallic skull mask and black hood stands in front of bare-chested guards in futuristic armour. Below, the words “General Witchfinders” appear in a gothic cream-coloured font on a black background.

True it's also possible to know Fleetwood Mac solely from Everywhere, Seven Wonders or Big Love.

I am that generation and I don't think it is not *that* bad thing. Tango in the Night or Higher Love or Sledgehammer are all good tunes!
podwithmadness.bsky.social Can I Pod With Madness @podwithmadness.bsky.social · 2d
Vaguely related but there's a generation that primarily know Fleetwood Mac as them that did Little Lies- in the same way that Steve Winwood is the guy that did Higher Love, Peter Gabriel is Sledge Hammer, and Lou Reed sang Soul Man on the soundtrack of Soul Man.

Had no idea. Thought it was just TV music. I don't think I heard The Chain in full until about 1995.

C'mon, Fleetwood Mac did the Formula One theme tune.

I'm not saying 'only people aged 47 to 55 think Fleetwood Mac are bad' - obviously people of all ages have different opinions. But only people in that v specific age group think that 'Fleetwood Mac are bad' is a common sense, commonplace opinion.

Casual mention of "the opera he wrote about Sasquatch" - because *of course* Roddy Bottum wrote an opera about Sasquatch.

Currently halfway through this. Really is an incredible memoir. Saw him doing a talk a few weeks ago and had never thought about Faith No More as Billy, Mike and Roddy's art project, or that they only became considered a metal band because Jim Martin was mates with Metallica who took them on tour.

We're watching a compilation of 80s TV ads and every other voice over was either Robert Powell, Ray Brooks, Anthony Valentine or that bloke that played Marvin the Paranoid Android

Watching this trailer for the Jackson biopic and genuinely thought Miles Teller was playing Steve Perry
Miles Teller as (checks notes) John Branca not Steve Perry in the 2026 movie Michael.

Who's your favourite codger? I can't be bothered to check but I'm sure some of these old 'uns were about 43 when this feature ran. Also, what's with the overuse of the word "twangsome", Q?

podwithmadness.podbean.com/e/everyone-l...
Adopt a codger- Q magazine #45, July 1990. Codgers including Chet Atkins, Carl Perkins and Duane Eddy. Codgers: Tina Turner, The Dubliners, Albert King, Elton, the Big O. Codgers: BB King, Shirley Bassey and Chubby Checker.

So much mucoid terror. So many clefts. But no mucoid clefts. Which seems like a basic omission on Shaun's part tbh.

It's new pod day! Once again we're putting on our sophisticated hats and reading Q from July 1990, but not before we sound off on Halloween anxiety, the old medieval conundrum, and Sienar Fleet Systems. Grab a glass of blue water, and join us!

Can I Pod With Madness art- it's meant to look like Q. Actual Q from 1990. Stone Roses, Inspiral Carpets and some bloke called Prince. Adopt a Codger, which could be my wife's mission statement. That Lennon Concert in Full. Remember the John Lennon Tribute from 1990? No? Well we investigate.

Extremely cryptic and suspicious soy sauce
This Premium Light Soy Sauce is brewed naturally. It has a Soy flavour and aroma which will delicately enhance the "taste" of any dish.
