Acoustic cover of Time Capsule by Matthew Sweet.

Time Capsule (Matthew Sweet cover)

This week is our fourth and final podcast looking at the making of the new content for the Season 15 blu-ray.
Dave's back, and he and Kenny discuss the covers of the Target novelisations - and rank them - before they're joined by this week's guests.
Dr Matthew Sweet pops in to talk about the In Conversation chats (yes, we know - there's something meta about interviewing the interviewer) and we conclude our look at the special features with Paul Scoones, telling us how he works on the information text - in this case, for The Horror of Fang Rock.

Addendum: In this episode, we state that it was Richard Bignell who learned that it was April Walker who was originally cast as Sarah Jane Smith - it wasn't, it was David Brunt. Our apologies to David for this error.

203: The Making of the Season 15 Blu-Ray - Part Four

More light hearted than recent tunes of mine... This is a project that Gaz Brownie https://soundcloud.com/user-755327533 and I did together a couple years ago. Gaz presented me with vocal ideas & lyrics and a chord outline, and I put the music bed & production together.  We just released it on Spotify as The Bird Thieves band, with a new mix & master.  It's one of my favorites and we invite you to listen on Spotify!

Our Carpe Diem 

candy to my eyes sweet poison to my hear
we were electric together but safer miles apart

in wild times we were living and you always made me laugh
when you're dancing on the tables and falling over in the dark

now if you're going to judge us then you better be perfect
if you've got something to say then it better be worth it

we lived for the moment in our very own carpe diem

caught a train to London in hindsight shouldn't have went 
we stayed out 48 hours and drank next month's rent

beautiful minds equal beautiful minds
it was never going to last but what an absolute blast

oh D'arcy we lived for the moment

Carpe Diem

Season 6

82 - No Alternative (1993 Wrap-up)

Guitar driven alternative rock for the masses.

A podcast discussing Doctor Who-related items, more often than not in threes, whether stories, guests, or anything else. Featuring Big Finish's Kenny Smith, and in the early episodes, regular appearances from Tom Harris (the former Labour MP)  and David Steel (not the former Liberal Party MP, MSP and leader). 

Dave still appears, as do Dr John Bollan and Stephen Day, with Tom fleetingly materialising.

We also have a host of great Doctor Who guests using "Kenny's bottomless address book" (c) David Steel.

This Is Modern Rock is a podcast about Alternative Rock Music of the 80's & 90's.  Each episode takes a look at one month on the Billboard Modern Rock charts, beginning with September 1988.  This Is Modern Rock is currently in Season 5 (1992).
