"Lived Through That” is the companion podcast to my book where I look at influential musicians of the 80s and 90s and where they are today. On this podcast, we’ll delve deeper into a single pivotal moment in
the lives of some of the artists I feature in that book, as well as other
artists I love and admire. The stories they tell are open, honest, and
inspiring.
This week's guest is Lora Logic of X-Ray Spex and Essential Logic. In the world of punk rock, few figures are as genuinely groundbreaking as Lora Logic. A true icon of the UK punk scene, Lora rose to prominence as the saxophonist behind the anarchic energy of X-Ray Spex, later carving her own path with the avant-garde brilliance of Essential Logic. More than just a musician, she was a force who reshaped punk from the inside — blending raw energy with experimental flair. But Lora's journey didn't stop at music. After stepping away from the spotlight, she experienced a profound near-death event that altered the course of her life forever. In this episode, Lora opens up about her unconventional rise and the spiritual awakening that followed her brush with death.

This week's guest is Dave Scheff, drummer for the band Translator. If the name rings a bell, it should. The band, and their song “Everywhere that I’m Not” helped define a sound that bridged post-punk and jangle pop in the early '80s. Today, Dave tells us about one of his pivotal moments- the break up of his band – and how the many happy accidents along the way.

Episode 80 - Mike Badger (The La's, The Onset, Solo)
"Lived Through That” is the companion podcast to my book where I look at influential musicians of the 80s and 90s and where they are today. On this podcast, we’ll delve deeper into a single pivotal moment in
the lives of some of the artists I feature in that book, as well as other
artists I love and admire. The stories they tell are open, honest, and
inspiring.
Today’s guest is Mike Badger. Mike is a key figure in the early days of The La's, the iconic British band known for their timeless sound that blends indie rock, pop, and folk. As one of the founding members, Mike played an essential role in shaping the band's distinctive style, contributing both as a guitarist and vocalist. His influence can be heard in the group’s folk-tinged melodies and jangly guitar work, which helped lay the groundwork for the band's 1990 self-titled album. Mike’s contributions extended beyond just The La's, as he later pursued solo projects and, as he tells us in our episode today, became a well respected visual artist as well – thanks
to a can of baked beans.

Episode 79 - Jen Trynin
"Lived Through That” is the companion podcast to my book where I look at influential musicians of the 80s and 90s and where they are today. On this podcast, we’ll delve deeper into a single pivotal moment in
the lives of some of the artists I feature in that book, as well as other
artists I love and admire. The stories they tell are open, honest, and
inspiring.
Today’s guest is the phenomenal Jen Trynin. She is an
absolute treasure and why she wasn’t side by side on the charts with Alanis
Morrisette, I’ll never know. It truly is a crime she was not a bigger
star back in the 90s. The record companies thought she would be huge and
fought over who would sign her and release her first record. That record,
Cockamamie, was filled with great songs like “Better Than Nothing” and
“Happier” – these songs are still in regular rotation on my playlists and
should be on yours, too. Sadly, they did not make the impression on the
charts as they should have and her second record, “Gun Shy Trigger Happy,” didn’t do as well on the charts either. Both were big critical favoritesthough and if you’ve heard them you love them, too! Today, she talks about her music career and her current career as an author.

Episode 78 - Richard Barone (The Bongos, Solo)
"Lived Through That” is the companion podcast to my book where I look at influential musicians of the 80s and 90s and where they are today. On this podcast, we’ll delve deeper into a single pivotal moment in the lives of some of the artists I feature in that book, as well as other artists I love and admire. The stories they tell are open, honest, and inspiring.
We have legendary artist Richard Barone on the show this week. He started his music career at age seven – yes, seven! - as a DJ at a local radio station in Florida and went on to form The Bongos in the early 80s in Hoboken, New Jersey. The Bongos were one of the foundational bands
of indie pop and went on to record three well received records. In 1987, he released a solo record called "Cool Blue Halo" that became one of the first chamber pop records out there and went on to influence a generation of artists. He’s also written two books -Frontman and Music + Revolution: Greenwich Village in the 1960s and has just released a live record from 1985 with The Bongos titled The Shroud of Touring: Live in 1985. But today, he tells us a story about of his first mentors – none other than Tiny Tim.
