RHODES & TAYLOR MAKE PODCAST HISTORY….
“ONLY AFTER DARK!”
DURAN DURAN’s Nick Rhodes and John Taylor have made UK media history by launching the Guardian’s new Film & Music podcast.
The two part podcast features an extended interview with Rhodes and Taylor, by Guardian Film & Music Editor Michael Hann and 60 second clips of six tracks from the duo’s “Only After Dark” compilation album - a collection of their favourite songs from the period 1978-1982.
The featured tracks are David Bowie: “Always Crashing In The Same Car”; Simple Minds: “The Changeling”; Magazine: “Shot By Both Sides”; Brian Eno: “The True Wheel”; Bryan Ferry: “The ‘In’ Crowd” and Wire: “I Am The Fly”.
Peter Wells-Thorpe of The 3003 Group, Duran Duran's online strategic marketing agency, who organised the podcast for the Guardian, commented, “This is the first time that music from the major record labels and music publishers has been officially approved for use within a podcast; and is the latest in a series of music & technology ‘firsts’ pioneered by Duran Duran”.
Curated by Rhodes and Taylor “Only After Dark” is released by EMI Music on May 8th and highlights one of the most dynamic periods in UK music, when the sounds of the late ‘70s clashed with the experimental sounds of the early 80’s, fusing punk, glam, art-rock, disco and synth pop.
The album gives a unique insight into the music that inspired Rhodes, Taylor and fellow band members Simon LeBon, Andy Taylor and Roger Taylor to form Duran Duran and includes Magazine’s “Shot By Both Sides”, Yellow Magic Orchestra’s pristine, oriental, techno classic “Computer Games”, the Psychedelic Furs' first single “Sister Europe”, Giorgio Moroder’s magnum opus with Donna Summer, “I Feel Love”, Simple Minds’ “Changeling”, and the title track “Only After Dark” by Mick Ronson.
Previously, publishers of music podcasts had been restricted to using only music from independent record labels, under a special licensing agreement with AIM, ( Association Of Independent Music)
“We have now opened the door for major record labels and publishers to make podcasting a permanent part of their marketing mix for new releases” added Peter Wells-Thorpe.
Part 1 of the podcast is available as a free download from the Guardian’s web site

Part 2 will be available from today (Tuesday 9th May, 2006.)
