It's the Luke and Pete show on a Monday. Monday, don't look into the sky. Like you sort of go, what have I done to deserve this? That's not where it started working week on the Luke and Pete show, is it? Just seeing if it's going to start raining or not. In your house? That's crazy. Times are tough.

Times are tough. How are you? I'm good. Last time we recorded, obviously the news had just broken that the band Oasis. Yeah I wanted to talk to you about that. Now how do we feel about this? Is this going to be bad? Well I feel good about it and I'm gonna tell you why I feel good about it One is because I didn't ever get a chance to see them in live for the first time around, right? So for me specifically one really wanted to tick that box. I've never wanted to go and see Liam Gallagher solo or no Gallagher solo because I just think everyone really that's there is just wanting Oasis to be back together.

And I don't want to be a part of that really. But now they're reforming, I'll get a ticket and I'll go. And I think it's a really cool thing actually. I think that, you know, what's wrong with it? I mean, Liam Gallagher's voice isn't quite as good as it used to be. It's much better than when he went through that terrible phase of sounding exactly like Alan Partridge. But you can't sing like that for that long and

it not affect your voice in some way. I still think it'll be worthy of going. And I know that you're not really a big fan because you prefer all the wet blanket, wet wipe indie bands of the nineties. But for loads of us proper music fans, Peter, it's great news. The robust music fans. Yeah. I mean, mean it does have you ever seen them before? no I think would there have been a chance to see them at glass Marie or something no they never they never play they might have they would have been a later reading I can't remember to be honest they have played at a festival yeah yeah I've never I've never I've never seen them live to be honest But I think with a band like that, it's not about what they represent, it's about the sort of people they encourage. And it's the

feathered haircuts again. It's the feathered haircuts lots who live in Manchester. I love those guys to come back though. The pretty green boys. The guys have been wearing pretty green for the last 20 years. But the feathered haircut is an amazing phenomenon. We've talked about it before. It's incredible. I've sent you a few in the wild. Oh, big time.

And I think that's a pastime that we keep alive. We're celebrated feathered haircut street photographers. We are. The Kevin Carter of men who look like they're in The Genome. Oasis fans, die-hard fans, were notoriously badly behaved back in the day, they weren't they? It was like an awful, awful thing. Yeah, that's why I don't really know why you'd want to go and watch them because it'd just be that.

But I wonder if their crowd will be like that now because they're massively popular with young people, aren't they now? Well that's going to be the thing really it's going to be a real interesting divide because they are weirdly popular with young people or a certain lot of young people because when they left there was just a massive guitar vacuum in the UK and bands like Kasabian Aragore but nobody's really sort of replaced them in you know that know, it's that amount of time I was reading some music industry guys saying that the demand for the tickets was three times higher than it was for Taylor Swift

And the tell us tell us okay, right? Yeah. Yeah, I could see I could see that. It's a smaller market I suppose isn't it so I'll definitely go. I'm excited to go. It'll be a great day out Obviously, it's gonna be full of tragic people myself included trying to read their youth But there's never been a band in my view in terms of impact on the culture Yeah, touch them really since I mean you could possibly argue Arctic Monkeys But you know that I'll see monkeys couldn't do that five straight nights at Wembley Stadium. Good day like five straight nights at Wembley Stadium, couldn't they? I think in their pomp they could approach it I think, yeah. But they couldn't play any of the London Dates.

Yeah I think they could have, I think they're probably in three in their time. They could have done a fair whack about three albums ago. So do you reckon you'll go then? No, no. I've dirtied my boots with, I went to Wembley to watch the wrestling at the weekend and... That's quite hard to get back. Yeah, but I've just got to go... I got to Wembley to watch a bit of football and I'll do the wrestling. I don't think I can sort of...

I just think that Oasis, they're just not my band and the people who really like them are not my people and I don't know Marcus out of order! But Marcus is like he loves Michael Jackson and Oasis like he's like he's a big ticket item is Marcus when it comes to music he loves he loves it like and that's fair enough but the reason is that you're not going to go because the people who go to watch away aren't your people. I like two of their songs, Don't Look Back in Anger and the one that they did the album after that sounded like Don't Look Back in Anger. Do you know what I mean? You want a pulp guy?

Stand By Me and Don't Look Back in Anger. Stand By Me is a great song. Do you think that Jarvis Cocker's pulp could do four or five nights at Wembley Stadium? Well that's a thing though, isn't it? They're more of a whatever the Parisian version of the Hollywood Bowl is. Do you know what I mean? They're Madison Square Garden's kind of vibe. You would prefer pulp to Oasis, right? Yeah and I saw them last year in Finchbury Park, and it was as close as, I don't go to a lot of gigs

where I go, that took me back and that ticked a lot of box, that was almost transcendental for me, and that was the best of the best. Pulp is like Oasis for people with no confidence, isn't it? Yeah, well that's absolutely fair. We still, you know, we hang out in the periphery. But it will be a really interesting difference between old men joylessly, again, like, you know, joylessly just trying to get their disengorged winkies into a bottle so they can wee their

bloodied piss into before they throw it into a crowd of 18 year olds who just want to have a nice time on this disco biscuit. So it's it's gonna be a real It's gonna be a real clash of cultures and and there'll be a lot of gatekeeping from men of a certain age I think so I'll go what you do You weren't there. No none of us was there. We just watch it on top of the pops. I'm feeling a bit senior Am I getting hit with piss or am I the cunt? You're in the no man's land between the two. I saw a bit of London that I had forgotten about and didn't know it was. I was waiting outside for the wrestling on a weekend ago. And Mark went, that's the London Arena,

that's where I watched some wrestling back in the 80s. And I was like, oh my God, the London Arena is where I, we drove down from Leicester when I was 18, 19, to go to like a punk festival in the London Arena. And it was like five or six, you know, really decent, you know, fat records. Do you mean Wembley Arena? Sorry, what did I say?

Sorry, not London Arena, Wembley Arena. And it was just, I had no idea where it was. I thought it was miles away from Wembley Stadium, but it's literally right next door, which does make sense. But it's a place that I went and it was a real form of experience for me, because I remember for some reason the concession stand had too many buns, and so they were just handing out buns to anybody who wanted buns, which ended up in a big bun fight.

A big punk rock bun fight in the middle of a lagwagon gig. A big bun fight just broke out in the middle of this gig. And it was the most exciting, oh my god there are no rules, kind of like experiences in my life. I was like, oh fuck yeah, if you just, if lords of us do something, we care to be stopped. Just throwing buns around. It was very, it was pretty soft stuff. How am I supposed to broadcast with this? Just soggy buns. Soggy big buns being thrown around in the air.

When you say buns you mean like an iced bun? No no no, like a hot dog bun. But they were packets upon packets upon packets and they were just handing them out and they were just getting thrown at each other. It was so weird. It was such a weird... Was it a good time? ...in the middle of a gig. Very weird. Was it a good time?... in the middle of a gig. Very weird. Was it a good time?

It was a fantastic time, but I had forgotten all about Wembley Arena or ever going there. And last Sunday, Mark went, that's where I watched, you know, that's where, you know, Wembley Arena is. I was thinking about the... Oh my God! Going back to the Oasis show, I was thinking that back then as well, even when those frowns of Oasis were terrible back in the day yeah okay was really expensive then well it would all just be like truck of speed and pills on it really now everyone's taking cocaine as far as I

yeah every single person takes cocaine apart from me yeah yeah that's gonna be that's gonna be spicy in it it was good, it was at the, it was... Was it AEW or WrestleMania? It was AEW, so AEW's main show all in. They sold out Wembley last time, they didn't quite manage it this time. But it was a real kind of breakout success last year. And you know, to buy a nice... Who were the big names this year? Who were the headliners? The headliners were, it was MJFF who was like a kind of shit talking heel who sort of came on dressed as like Uncle Sam slaying the Brits.

And we had like British stars like Jack Sabre Jr and stuff doing bits. Yeah there was a night... I mean Ada was the wrestlers... it's like the on the continent to the football ramble. It's like serious, serious sort of purist kind of like, you know, doing it for the, you know, is it trequartistas and stuff. It's like proper wrestling, fans wrestling. Not as much storyline, just a lot of like, but we had like really big stars like Mercedes Mone,

who's been in Japan for a little while. We had the return of a couple of British stars who hadn't wrestled for like 15 years. And we also had Paige who was in that film called Fighting, was it Fighting With My Family? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Who was a breakout WWE talent who comes from Norwich and all of their family turned up looking like

Peaky Blinders. So it was a nice mix of like quite, Goldust, remember Goldust? Yeah, Goldust, yeah. He was there doing stuff. So yeah, it was just a nice mix of different AEW kind of talents and stuff and it was yeah it was really really really fun and Bryan Danielson, no Daniel Bryan I forget which name he goes by now, he was supposed to be retiring but he won the match so he'll probably crack on. But Banya Batt who edits our podcast and Mark, I had to go home because that would

get me trained, but Mark and Banya, they at the end in the press box, they were corralled into the post-match press conference and they were expecting to be invited to the press conference and so they asked a question to Mercedes-Benz about her favorite weather spoons breakfast because they were A, a bit drunk and B, just a bit confused about why they were allowed in the press conference that was being broadcast all around the world. So yeah, good stuff. That's so funny. And then they got lost.

Did you have press tickets? Yeah, yeah, we managed to get press tickets. It was a real kind of struggle to get them. And I did my big boy, come on, we were a wrestling podcast and we're a big one, fucking let us in. And then we got in and there was literally a little boy next to us.

And I was like, he's not a pressman. He's not writing anything. Did he have like a hat on with a peppy on the zero? Yeah. And a cigarette on the go? That's funny. But we couldn't find our seat for about literally 25 minutes and we were just rolling around the whole thing.

And Mark's obviously more noticeable than me because he's taller and he's good looking lads and he obviously is in a lot of the WrestleMe stuff. And so everyone was just shouting, WrestleMe Mark, WrestleMe Mark! As we were rolling around and it just looked like we were just caught in it after a while because we kept on just not being able to find our seats but it turned out we were actually in the press box. But yeah, really good stuff. Can't recommend going to see the wrestling enough.

So a lot of fun. And that same weekend I was at All Points East in Victoria Park. Oh yes, my mates went to the Pixies show on the Friday was it? Yeah so I was on the Sunday for the Death Cab and Postal Service show. Oh I think I would cry if I if I was... Yeah so I thought there was a bit I actually thought when I was there this is a bit you know because I was never really a big Death Cab guy but I went because I really liked the bands that were on during the day. It's a hell of a line up. New pornography.

No it wasn't new pornography. Oh sorry, what was it? It was Yurtengo, Decembrists, Phoenix. Did they have a member in Decembrists and also was there a bit of cross pollination there? I can't remember. There was a little bit of cross pollination between them and the shins. Yeah, OK. All right. But I saw Teenage Fan Club as well. They're one of your big ones. Yeah, I tell you what's...

Steenies Fan Club's biggest song. It's hard to say really. What's their rock and roll star? What's their... I don't really know if they've got one, but I mean, like Sparky's Dream's a big tune, the concept. Right, yes, OK. Right. There's like, there's loads of bit, they've got loads of kind of anthemic indie tunes, but they're a very kind of like melody for melody sake band. OK, right.

And now they all just look like accountants, it's brilliant. Mimi calls them band of dads. But the thing that was interesting about it is that it's the first time I've been to a festival in fucking ages. And they're very different now festivals. I don't want to get all kind of old man about it but like... The sound is shit, usually. Yeah, I think that was always the case though. That was always the case, oh no.

It used to be louder and then, you know, lobbying groups got involved I think and turned that volume right down. Well, the Anti-Growth Coalition, you reckon? The Anti-Growth Coalition, yeah. But what was interesting to me is that in order to go to the festival I had to have two apps right? Oh god right yeah. I had to get the AXS I suppose it's pronounced access app for the tickets then I had to download the All Points East app. Right. Why did you need both? Well because you buy the tickets for the ticket fucking app And then the ticket gets put onto the office Yeah stuff right and then obviously when you get into the fence so what I found was mental about it was that

You know when you go to the podcast show in the stores everywhere, right? Yeah, they have got those stores now So so like I was standing watching TH fan club who by the way, we're giving a half-hour set Right, okay. I've been a band for 30 years, given a half hour set, right? Anyway, that's another thing. When I was watching Teenage Fan Club, I kept getting push notifications saying, hit up the Levi's stall now to have your photo taken in a pair of Levi's to see what you can look like in a brand new pair of Levi's. I was like, what the fuck is happening? Maybe because of your age they think you might have shat your pants.

Luke, have you drunk too much again? Did you forget to bring your emodium? Yeah, come to the Levi's still. Come get your Levi's. But also, another thing that happened, one of the biggest stages there was the six music stage where you could listen to Steve Lamac playing indie music. I cannot think of, I mean it's maddening, it's just absolutely insane. Hundreds quit a ticket by the way.

Yeah, yeah that sounds good. To go and watch Steve Lamac do six music, a six music set, and to buy a pair of Levi's. Steve Lamac looks like he belongs in the park to be fair he looks like a man who woke up in a park he just he just looks like a man who who they've just given him some decks because he's just rolling around the park eating in old Kit Kats he's found that was to be fair that's quite similar to my experience there there was one quite good store where they had done, so do you know that Dre and Snoop have got a new alcoholic drink out called Gin and Juice?

Yes, Gin and Juice, yeah, big WrestleMania act this year. There was a Gin and Juice, Dre and Snoop stand, which had been done up to look like South Central LA and it had like 64 Chevy's and stuff in it and if you shot a basketball through the hoop successfully you got a free can of gin and juice. I was there for that. Right. Did you get involved? There is a big queue. Right. But everything is is that so it didn't look like to me like it sold out anywhere near

close to selling out. Right. Yeah. Now, partly I think it's because there's a festival every fucking day in summer in UK now, isn't there? Yeah. And and also I think that Sunday was the Sunday of Notting Hill Carnival So yes, it was a lot of competition it was a real kind of like mix because that's that that was the day of the wrestling and Going through kind of towards Wembley is obviously cracking on for like West London where it is. Yeah, it was a real kind of like culture clash of people going to, you know, people drinking big bottles of Hennessy and really, you know, really geeky looking, like people like, yeah, people under, underdressed people drinking Hennessy and, and, and, and

overdressed people with black t-shirts from wrestlers who were long dead, drinking Monster Energy drink. It was a real kind of weird clash of the two. Nice. But when I was... I got a message a few weeks ago saying, oh, upgrade to VIP tickets for All Points East and it was like 20 quid. I was like, all right, fine. So I'll do that then, because me and my mate went. And it meant you got access to a VIP garden and a VIP pit. Oh, so in front of every, yeah, they do this tiered stuff, don't they?

Yeah, it's all very tiered now, isn't it? Yeah, any of the or two, I just want the or two anymore, it's the wireless festival, isn't it? In Central Hyde Park. The wireless is up in Finsbury Park now, I think. Which, what are the ones that are in Hyde Park. The wireless is up in Finsbury Park now I think. Which are the ones that are in Hyde Park? It used to be in Hyde Park. Used to be auto wireless. British summertime is going on in Hyde Park now.

British summertime is called now yeah. And yeah like there's about 10 different pits, 10 different tiers, 10 different circles of hell before you get to the front. I mean it can't be, it's not conducive to a decent atmosphere is it? But the death cab thing was interesting because you know it used to be like a proper emo guy and obviously what they did was Death Cab did transatlanticism from the whole album. Then he went off and came back home with the Post of Service and did Give Up which is the big Post of Service album. It might even be the

only Post of Service album actually. Which one the one, did they do that cover of that Genesis song? He did a great, Postal Service did a great cover of na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na And why you're the only one really knew me that technically me now Did a really good cover of that once got there in the end, but obviously they were he was just doing albums, right? So he did he did He took they did do a cover of is it called against all odds Yes, okay. Right. Is that that one? Yeah, it's from a film though, isn't it? It's a Film I think right. Okay. They just did the albums They just did trans albums. They just

did Transatlanticism and then Give Up. But anyway, the point I was just going to make was that Transatlanticism and Give Up both came out in 2003 and it was like emo time. Just getting on for kind of MySpace was about to come out and there was all hair and wristbands and fucking, you know, the stuff, tattoos are fucking crows but um what was interesting about it was it wasn't really my scene so I wasn't really into it at all back in the day I kind of got into it later quite like one of the albums I thought I'd go along and it was fine it was good but it was a lot of the people there were kind of my age or a bit younger and they were really emotionally connected to this Transatlantic

album which is very it's almost like a romantic album in like an emo way of a guy. But it's almost, I always sort of saw the puzzle service as being, puzzle service and Death Cab for being out, Death Cab less so but like outside that, more heading towards that kind of final fantasy of Montreal Arcade Fire kind of. So it's got a foot in both camps I would say. Yeah. Anyway, I was just going to say that like, that the way Benjamin Gibbard looks now, he looks great, but he basically looks like if Bradley Cooper was running Apple.

Right? And so he's a handsome, successful, older guy. And if you had your eyes closed, sorry, if you had your ears closed, you'd think he was just doing a Ted talk. Do you know what I mean? It's very clean and very kind of, he's the sort of guy who definitely gets the most up-to-date iPhone and probably worn Google Glass. It's just very interesting how different he is because obviously a lot of that music back

in the day would have come from insecurity and not knowing where you're going in life and now he's got futures. Now he's got futures. Yeah, it was quite interesting. It was cool though, it was a good show, I enjoyed it, I was pleased I went. It's weird sort of seeing like all the, like you know like what your partner said about the dad bands and stuff, like have you seen the the band sublime the son of the lead singer who died is now the lead singer of sublime young dirty bastard in the Wu-Tang Clan oh is that his old dirty bastard son yeah he's got some kicking

around good god he's an old dirty bastard for crying out loud yeah not hang on he can't be young dirty bastard cuz you know exactly who his dad is what's going on there oh can he be I don't know cuz I guess he's not old dirty bastard son or one of them yeah as is a rapper called young dirty bastard he's exactly like a young old dirty bastard is now in the Wu Tang clan can he sing like old dirty bastard like really badly yes He sounded exactly like him. So what, he's so sublime, because Bradley now died, didn't he? He did, yeah. So his son is now the singer.

Yeah, my ex used to say that, yeah, she was obsessed with sublime. Because he died years ago, he died very young, didn't he? It was the first time he'd ever tried heroin, I was like, bullshit, was he? He did die really young, didn't he? Yeah, he did, yeah. He, yeah, he did, yeah, he did. It was not a good heroin. But yeah, he died and so his but

his kid was a big part of like the artwork I think like the Ben was was a bit of a focus the the son he was in album covers next to you gives their big motif was the Dalmatian dog but he was he was he was kind of the baby was part of it and so it's really really, it's quite organic and authentic for him to sort of take the mantle. Well worth the listen, because he does sound like his dad, and he's apparently improved in like six months of touring with the band.

But seeing him, how young and like cut and like, you know, good looking he is, and the looks behind him, one of them's got like white man, white man dreads and a big like kind of ball on his head and he's like, he's just like this kind of like, um, he's got the keyboards and stuff and it's just very like, oh wow. Yeah. That, that absolutely, uh, um, so he must've been super young when his dad died. Yeah. Oh yeah. He's a baby. I think. Yeah. Very, very sad. That's so sad. Yeah, that is really sad. Sox. Mad that he's, um, I've just taken him up now.

Jacob now began drinking at the age of 12. Great. Good. Well, you're going to want you're going to. Yeah. Well, what's your excuse for that? How old were you when you had your first drink? I think I was quite a late bloomer in early 15s. Right. 14, 15. So yeah, I'll stubbies. Pete, this is a break. We've got to have a break. I think I was quite a late bloomer in Arleyville, 15, something like that? 14, 15, something like that? Little stubbies.

Pete, let's have a break. We haven't had a break. We've got to have a break. So let's do that. We'll come back and we'll do the final little stanza of the show and then we'll get out of here. All right then, let's do that. We're back with a looking Pete Shaw. How are you doing? You all right? Good. Yeah, pretty good. I'm all right, yeah. Not too bad. I'm going to get a touch of the show.. Hello. Look Pete shows the way to do it I'd like to say a big hello to

Should we start with Paul? Paul has come in with a little bit of information about a shop called J car She talked about J car loads people. It's like the Australian map. They use don't remember. Yeah, I don't remember the actual name I presume that's what it was But I didn't know it was called J-Car. As a dad and 3D printing and wire enthusiast, it has everything you could dream of. But Paul and Aided Ably by producer Taylor was put like in the document, just loads of pictures of the the line of wires. And yeah, the interior of it. Do you remember we talked about, I showed you all the 3D printers I had

and we talked about getting one delivered to the UK, but it was. Yeah, that was the website, wasn't it? But this is like a view inside, which you never get in IRL. I showed you all the 3D printers I had and we talked about getting one delivered to the UK, but it was Yeah, but that was just the website wasn't it? But this is like a view inside which you never get in IRL. So yeah, there's loads of You just smell the printer ink can't you you really can so yeah, well done Thank you for that and yeah a lot of a lot of 3D wires and a lot of like Like cavity wall screws and stuff fantastic everything you might need Who says hi guys first time either bit and listeners. Fantastic. Everything you might need. What about this from Ahmed who says hi guys first time either but I've been listening since January 2018 thanks for

countless hours of information and rambling jokes stories and not so much about Peaks exploratory cameras. What does that mean? Did you put a camera on your bum or something? I think it was that camera I bought to look at my ear. Oh that's right yeah yeah. He says you guys have picked me up when I'm down made me laugh and kept me entertained through stressful London rat race. I'm down, made me laugh and kept me entertained through stressful London rat race. I'm going to Tokyo in late November for the first time for a week for my partner's birthday. Any recommendations and must sees. I can't help you with that Ahmed because I've never been, but Peter probably can.

There's a lovely little alleyway in Akihabara. Just give him an Indy card. What's an Indy card you can go to? There's a lovely little alleyway in Akihabara Just give me an IndyCar, what's an IndyCar you can go to? I found 10 years after the event where I'd done a wee and there's not a blue plaque there but I walked down the same street on Google Maps and I was like I've done a wee against that and that's why I don't get anything done

I'm just walking down the streets of Vakabara. Are you going to give them a geographical location for that Peter? I'll give them a pin, I'll send them a Google pin. Just have fun man, you're going to have the time of your life. What a wonderful, wonderful time to sort of head over to Japan, just as all the Japanese are absolutely hating the tourists, because there's so many of them, because they end so weak. There was a man quite recently who spoke about this in the Bronjibang podcast last week who had

basically lived the life of a pauper for 20 years working for a firm just so he could retire early and he retired early with one million dollars worth of yen in his bank account and it's never been worthless because the yen was so weak. I'm sure it'll recover but he really did you know he just begged steal and borrowed like furniture lived on a company apartment sort of complex. How old was he when he retired? I think he was only about 46 47 something like that, so it's good age to do it, but he did have to live like an absolute pauper for 20 years, not looking like he's had that much fun with his life, but yeah, he's retired at a terrible time. You can do that, not with Facebook Marketplace on the scene. No, not with Facebook Marketplace on the scene for crying out loud, but yeah, you can have

the best time. And November's a lovely time to visit because it's really starting to cool down a bit and the heat in Japan is so oppressive. Yeah all right enjoy yourself. Very jealous. Very jealous I mean.
