RC 313: Old Age (15th Anniversary Part 1)

Listen on

Episode notes

On this day in 2004 not much happened, Girls Aloud were #1 in the UK with a forgettable single, My Boo (??) by Alicia Keys was #1 in the US Billboard Charts…an actor or two died that had been forgotten or their kids were more famous than them. Looking through the headlines it was a slow news day.

Which is fortunate cos 29th of November 2004 is when Radio Clash started! Admittedly with no fanfare at all, but I’d rather not share the date with some major event.

So yes, Happy Birthday to RC, we’re 15 years young today. Not entirely legal depending on where you are – and we were never legal anyway – but a bratty teenager with a penchant for Fleetwood Mac, mashups, acid house, indie, glitchy electronica, new wave, punk and British and intelligent US hip-hop – which is lucky because all of those are in this episode and more.

And bonus – this is the first of a two parter ‘celebrating’ this anniversary…in the grumpiest way I know how. Even The Angry Disco Gnome agrees!
