Episode 395: Beverly Hills, 90125

The Epileptic Gibbon podcast music show

This is the 395th edition of the Epileptic Gibbon podcast music show and the playlist to accompany it. You can CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD but note the shows are large files. The show is also available to stream via Mixcloud and the Progzilla Radio Network (the show appears on Progzilla in alternate weeks). This show starts with a reflection on the recent success of EppyFest 11, so you’ll hear music from all the acts from that weekend. We also have a feature album, ‘90125’, the 1983 album by Yes, so you’ll hear three tracks from or related to that. We also have a special guest, connected to our feature album – Stephen Lambe joins us in the EG studio to talk about his new book, ‘Rock Classics: Yes, 90125’, which reviews the album and goes into the history of how it came to be. In addition, you can expect a typically excellent and eclectic range of music, covering all the usual styles and genres. Below you’ll find the track list, plus weblinks from where you can find more information about each artist.
