Robbie: 2023. What a crazy year. Hello. It's Robbie from Chatting Tracks, and welcome to this 2023 roundup. I've had an absolutely amazing year on the podcast this year. I've spoke to some incredible people, So, Marcus, I never thought I'd speak to, and I've done some amazing things. So I thought I'd just do a bit of a recap over the year and see what's happened. So first of all, we gotta address the fact that the podcast changed. Robbie: Originally, it was the 80s Rewind Show podcast, and I realized after a little while that I painted myself into a corner. And I was struggling to get guests, and I'd spoke to a lot of people I wanted to speak to in that period. So I decided to change it to the Chatting Track's music community. That way, I can talk to people from different dramas in different decades, and it didn't matter. As long as it's music, that's all that counts about this. So, first of all, the name change. That's the first thing that happened this year. You know, I love the eighties. Robbie: It's my favorite decade, to be honest with you. But I wanted to talk to more bands and more artists from from different genres because I got, Like, there's lots of songs that I like that I just wanted to dig into a little bit more. So I decided to diversify to find out more about these songs than ice, and I've done exactly that. But we did start the year in the eighties. So let's start right at the start of the year when I spoke to Vic Fuzzbox or Vicki Perks from I've Got A Fuzzbox, and I'm gonna use it. They were big in the eighties with such hits as International Rescue And Pink Sunshine. Are they asked Vicky, where did the name come from? Speaker B: So I think it was just called Fuzzbox, but we were only called Fuzzbox over there because They thought our full name, we've got a fuzz box, and we're gonna use it. They thought that was rude and that we were trying to be saucy. I mean, we were innocent. Innocent Schoolgirls. Robbie. Robbie: I mean, now you say that, I get the connotation of why an American would think The fuzz box word is a rude word. I get that now. I've never actually thought of it that way. Yeah. Speaker B: Oh, well, there you are. You see, you're innocent. Like, we were. I mean, at first, for those, you may not know. It's a distortion pedal for a a bass or a guitar, and it goes makes it fuzzy. And we use it in every song partly because it we like the sound, but also because it covers up all your mistakes more. Robbie: Yeah. Speaker B: It's yeah. We did a lot of fuzz Phase and fuzz, flange, and, my dear, that sounds dodgy. But, yeah, we did get lots of people. The audience was often going, show us your fuzz box. You know? Robbie: Oh, wow. Speaker B: You'd be like, oh god. Here we go. And you pick it up at, you know, the pedal and just show it. Alright. Can we get on with the gig now? You know? Robbie: The The wonderful Vicky Perks there from I've Got A Fuzzbox, and I'm gonna use it, talking about some of the problems I had with the name. I think it's a great name. I don't see what the problem is. Was an absolute delight to talk to, and she's just so funny. And the band is absolutely brilliant, and they're touring at the minute as well. And she also mentioned in the interview, they're working on, like, a scrapbook type thing of, paper cuttings and News like calls of the time, so you might be able to get some more stuff about Fuzzbox coming up soon. After that, I had a chat with the wonderful Clark Dachula From Johnny H. Jazz who had such hits as Shattered Dreams and I Don't Wanna Be A Hero, just to name a few there. Robbie: And we spoke about how he wrote the hit Shattered Dreams. How did a dream come up out. Was it lyrics first? Was it melody first? Did it all sort of just click, or was it a dream and you wrote it down? How did that work? Speaker C: No. Which is sort of interesting how that does happen. Yes. Yeah. Robbie: You know? Yeah. Speaker C: I wrote it in this room, And I wrote it on a piano, which is over there, which you can't see. It's still there. I've got my old Steinway next to me, my Steinway Grand, which has been with me many years. But the piano I learned on, my Kemble, my dad's My mom and dad's Campbell is still over there. I'm actually looking after my mom now in her older age. So I've set up a studio in the room where I used to have a Rudimentary recording setup as a as a kid. Robbie: Wow. Speaker C: So it's it's full of vibes and memories here. So Shatter Dreams, I was I was writing it on the piano over there, and my dad came in, and he didn't used to do this. He always gave me We talked a lot about music, and he guided me when he felt it was appropriate. But he came in, he said, what's that you're working on? I said, it's called Shattered Dreams, dad. He went quiet, and he said, I think you've written your 1st hit. Robbie: The wonderful Clark Dachshay there talking about writing Shattered Dreams, probably one of the biggest hits of the eighties.
