Crossed Channels - 12 December 2023: *Setting Sons: The Flipped Script - In the podcast's inaugural episode, Dan Epstein (the Yank) and Tony Fletcher (the Brit) discuss The Jam's powerful 1979 album Setting Sons, and how the band's American record company "flipped the script" for the album's US release by putting its Side 2 tracks on Side 1, its Side 1 tracks on Side 2, and wedging the non-LP single "Strange Town" into the running order. / Our hosts — fervent Jam fans since their teens — take a hard look at this bizarre (and often forgotten) discrepancy, and Dan makes a solid case for the superiority of the US version of Setting Sons. But does Tony, who was actually in the studio with The Jam during the recording sessions, agree? You'll need to listen to find out. / The first six minutes of CROSSED CHANNELS are available to all listeners as a free preview. / But to hear the entire hour-length episode, you must be a paid Substack subscriber to either JAGGED TIME LAPSE or — or, ideally for us, both of them.

Crossed Channels - 16 January 2024: *Tim: The Replacements Hit the Big Time - Following our dissection of the bizarre American running order for The Jam's 1979 LP Setting Sons, we turn our attention to a fantastic album from the other side of the Atlantic — Tim, the 1985 major label debut by The Replacements, recently reissued in a 4-CD "Let It Bleed" edition. / One of the most important and influential American bands of the 1980s, The Replacements combined a raw rock n' roll attack with wiseass sense of humor and Paul Westerberg's brilliant and emotionally resonant songwriting. For many Replacements fans, Tim - the quartet's fourth full-length album, and the last to feature mercurial lead guitarist Bob Stinson, whose younger bass-playing brother Tommy was still just 18 years old at the time of its release — captures the band at the peak of their powers.

Crossed Channels - 13 February 2024: *God Save the Sex Pistols - After forming in 1975, The Sex Pistols kickstarted the UK punk movement with both their confrontational live gigs and the 1976 single "Anarchy in the UK." In 1977, having already been kicked off two major labels, second single "God Save the Queen" - a riposte to the official Silver Jubilee - almost topped the UK charts but also turned the group into Public Enemies No. 1. A lightning rod for controversy, the band topped the UK charts in 1977 with debut album Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols despite being banned from performing throughout their homeland. / In the US, however, Pistols and Bollocks alike were initially perceived as little more than novelties — a perception unfortunately reinforced when the Sex Pistols broke up in January 1978 at the end of their brief lone US tour. Though recognized now as a classic of its kind, Never Mind the Bollocks wouldn't "go Gold" in the US until 1987. / When the original lineup of Steve Jones, Paul Cook, Glen Matlock and John "Johnny Rotten" Lydon reunited in 1996 for the Filthy Lucre Tour, they were greeted as conquering heroes in the US and national treasures in the UK. But the seismic shockwaves of the Pistols' legacy can still be felt to this day; ditto for the power and fury of their still-bracing music. / On this Episode of Crossed Channels, we ask: What was the UK — where Tony grew up and Dan briefly lived — like in the mid-1970s? Why was a band like The Sex Pistols sorely needed at the time? Why were their singles so immediately appealing? Why did the Pistols completely implode after less than three years of existence? Why did they fail to initially click in America? What was the real story behind Sid Vicious, who replaced Matlock in 1977, and died in New York in 1979 from an overdose while out on bail for the murder of his girlfriend Nancy Spungen? Was manager Malcolm McLaren a hero, a villain, or both? And did Dan and Tony manage to catch the Pistols on their reunion tour? Listen and find out!

Naked Scientists In Short - 12 August 2016: *Why does female fertility fall with age? - It's a well-known fact that, as a woman ages, her chances of falling pregnant drop. And this seems to be driven by a fall in the quality of the eggs that she produces. Why this happens though, in an otherwise healthy individual, is a mystery. Now Francesca Duncan, who studies female fertility at Northwestern University, has discovered that older ovaries contain large amounts of fibrous tissue produced by inflammation, and this appears to be harming the ability of the ovary to nurture healthy eggs.

It is the second best-selling wrestling game for the N64 console.[1] Asmik Ace Entertainment and AKl approached the title by producing a wrestling game similar to Puroresu and fighting games.

Consider This - 12 April 2024: *Is Israel perpetuating a cycle of radicalization rather than ending it? - For months, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been insisting that the goal of Israel's bombardment in Gaza is to "destroy Hamas." / But in the path of that destruction, more than 33,000 Palestinian civilians have been killed. / Regular people, entire families, and more than 13,000 children. / Yet, it's not clear if Israel is any closer to its stated goal of destroying Hamas.
