What's this? A new Generation Mix episode just 2 weeks after the last one? We really are spoiling you.
In this episode it's New York singer/songwriter Suzanne Vega under the spotlight. Tracks drawn from her entire 30+ year career from Marlene On The Wall through to Harper Lee.
It's a great trawl through some excellent songcraft.
Joel's revenge is extremely appropriate for this one.
Join us soon for the next one, which sees a returning guest.

A new episode of our podcast with a shorter interval than of late (just 6 weeks or so) and it's a solo Beatle episode with our focus on the Quiet Beatle - George Harrison.
George's solo career really kicked off with All Things Must Pass and after a few lengthy hiatuses ended with the posthumous Brainwashed. We have picks from across his entire 30 year solo career, taking in possibly the greatest ever supergroup, and even a sneaky little Beatles inclusion of a song that was unreleased until his solo self titled record - I just prefer the Beatle version.
Joel, of course gets his revenge.
Join us soon as Joel seems to be getting his enthusiasm for the podcast back. Ooooh!

Wow. Another unfeasibly long gap between episodes. Sorry about that. On the other hand - this is our longest episode yet as our conversation is increasingly that - a conversation rather than Neil banging on too much. Joel has some slightly deeper insights and Neil really goes off on a diatribe about modern music and his perception of the lazy writing.
Meanwhile, the music of Paul Simon is our focus - both solo and with Art Garfunkel.
The revenge is a Grande one (you'll get the joke later).

Wow - it's been 3 months of inactivity. Joel wasn't looking forward to recording this, but a bonus from the delay has been an increasing ability to analyse and understand music so he really digs in on this episode.
18 tracks drawn from Clapton's entire career from Cream to the solo years.
We also have a sponsor - sort of...

Okay - firstly it's been a while as Joel has been super busy with all the usual end of term activities filling up his calendar. So, apologies for the delay.
Also, this is an episode that might be of limited interest as it's on someone who, frankly, many of you may not be aware - the worship leader and songwriter Brian Doerksen.
He's been a huge influence on Neil over the last 30 years.
Sit back, listen with an open mind and who knows.
Finally, Joel's revenges are getting quite mild lately. Perhaps he's run out of awful stuff?

In this episode, Neil and Joel enjoy, and that really is the right word, the music of seminal 80's electronic pop duo - The Pet Shop Boys.
So much good music from their entire career up to the point the CD was made and as a result, Joel does a revenge that is really not a revenge at all.

It's our first repeated artist and it can only be the greatest band that ever there was - The Beatles.
Neil had always intended a Vol II for this artist right back at the very start of the "Daddy's Introduction To..." series and so a few wonderful gems were purposefully held back for this volume.
So Don't Pass Us By, join us for a Savoy Truflly with a Walrus and Long Tall Sally.
Joel's revenge is not commensurate with how much he actually enjoyed the CD which I don't think is really that fair!

Episode 30 take a trip on the Road to Hell to the music of Middlesboro's finest son - Chris Rea.
It's safe to say that Joel's enthusiasm levels for this one are low, at least until the last few tracks.
His revenge is...OK. I wonder if anyone else hears the same similarities in the singer's voice to that of Gerard Way. Let us know over on the Generation Mix and Pockenrop Facebook page.
Meanwhile, Joel has joined me on my youtube channel on a fortnightly basis to discuss our top 100 songs. There are several revenges featured in his lists.

For episode 29 it's the BoyBand-turned-ManBand, Take That.
It's safe to say that Neil was most assuredly NOT a Take That admirer in the 90's. But, their great comeback kinda won him over. Great songs and top notch arrangements mean that the second coming of Take That was far more enjoyable that their first.
This is predominantly focussed on the return era, with a couple of the all time early greats mixed in.
Joel get's his revenge and it's not too bad if I'm honest. I liked the song he picked more on second hearing whilst editing this.

Episode 28 is a really fun dive into the world of the pop-punk trio Green Day. The band consists of Billie-Joe Armstrong on guitar and vocals, Mike Dirnt on bass and Tre Cool on drums.
More than any other DIT, this one has won Joel over and the band has ascended into one of his favourites, if not his actual favourite band.
Tracks are drawn from Dookie through to Revolution Radio and it was a fun listen and review throughout.
As a result, there is a fairly nice Joel's Revenge - or is it?
