10cc - The Original Soundtrack

Episode Summary

We don't really know how many cc are the appropriate number of cc, but somewhere along the way, somewhere in time, ten seemed like a nice round number and we kind of all went with it.

Episode Notes

I'm not sure what that has to do with the band 10 cc exactly, what with their high highs and low lows, the same band capable of trotting out a perfect all time classic like 'I'm Not In Love' along side some sort of song about Minestrone (which somehow actually charted).

'I'm Not In Love' alone could have made for a solid hour of chatter, what with the story about how they laid down layers upon layers of voice tracks, the true aesthetic which could be best felt by laying down on the ground in the studio and letting the track wash over them, which they actually did.

Don't get me started on the fact that eventually the band broke up into two equal halves, a pop half and an art half, and that the art half (I think?) was responsible for an all time ditty of their own, and one of the weirdest album covers ever. Swing for the fences, I guess.

No, don't get me started on any of that. But do lend an ear. There are plenty of yarns to spin.
