Welcome to Tangent Calling! This episode delves into the strange and oft overlooked history of Bristol's idiosyncratic and influential music scene. From its cider folk beginnings to the worldwide success of trip hop to a resurgence of its 70s art-punk sound, Bristol has consistently bucked the trend and danced to the beat of its own dubby, downtempo drum. We end up on some odd tangents here too, from Nietzsche to sea shanties to the moon landing!Timestamps5:15 The Eagles - The Maigret Theme www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BKKphXeW1k6:15 The New Seekers - I’d like to teach the world to sing www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWKznrEjJK411:00 The Wurzels - Drink Up Thy Zider www.youtube.com/watch?v=X67ZhnTjlSw12:00 The Wurzels - Ferry to Glastonbury www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-h4BdM_yiE13:20 Fred Wedlock - The Folker www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb9S7GKpf0415:00 Fred Wedlock - The Oldest Swinger in Town www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kALGhbTxdg19:15 The Cortinas - Fascist Dictator www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2hKuPWpJ4825:09 Talisman - Dole Age www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTLrtrEGVXc27:15 Restriction - Four Point Plan www.youtube.com/watch?v=R19gckvMZ0E28:50 Joshua Moses - Rise Up www.youtube.com/watch?v=21fMLpJa-3I31:18 The Pop Group - We Are All Prostitutes www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnfKcZhbF_k34:28 The Pop Group - She Is Beyond Good and Evil www.youtube.com/watch?v=VONjSHTAIto37:30 Gary Clail - Human Nature www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2Qg73_lK1A41:11 The Wild Bunch - Friends and Countrymen www.youtube.com/watch?v=XH6KUC7LJg0&t=200s44:23 Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWohPJHicFE49:15 Massive Attack - Five Man Army www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_pg29keUCU54:20 Massive Attack - Teardrop www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tb0MC0jFv6M58:50: Massive Attack - Mezzanine www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcsjz0HXGYk1:00:54 Tricky - Hell Is Round The Corner www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3R_3h6zQEs1:04:30 Tricky - Ponderosa www.youtube.com/watch?v=oM7bdiamY…tch?v=oM7bdiamYDU1:06:20 Portishead - glory box www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ylDDs3mdJE1:12:26 IDLES - I’m Scum www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrM5y-iCNiE1:15:20 IDLES - Grounds www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRkUt9VnaR01:18:16 IDLES - Samaritans www.youtube.com/watch?v=si2pZRifgIoFollow us on Twitter at: @TangentBooksAnd check out our books and much more at: www.tangentbooks.co.ukHosted by Richard Jones and Sol WilkinsonEdited by Sol WilkinsonMusic by Sol WilkinsonVice Chancellor: Oscar Marden
