NSTS Episode 005 – Joel McIver

Prolific UK author, respected music journalist, and all-around great guy Joel McIver joins me via Skype from across the pond to discuss all manner of things, including the dark details inside Soft Cell’s lyrics, a Ronnie James Dio children’s song (seriously!), and the curious punk rock absurdity behind Kim Wilde’s “Kids in America”.

All this and Cannibal Corpse and The Beatles too!
