1964 with Ben and Tim
Fab, groovy, some Ringos etc. Back to the sixties for TATP‘s hardy time travellers Ben Baker and Tim Worthington all the way from the future where men are living in domed communities and flying around on robot William Hartnells. 1964 seems like it could be quite a dull, old farty year, but far from it, as pop, rock, psych, jazz, garage, soul and whatever the frig One Way Pendulum is.

In today’s show we learn who was the 27th Beatle, how possibly not to pronounce Cal Tjader, Arthur C Clarke seemingly invents Twitter, which woman desperately needs AN EGG, we shuffle quickly past terrifying Shakin’ Stevens-centric Motown revival, who had a fight with legendary manager Don Arden, investigating Beatles that isn’t Beatles, when the Daleks confused shipping and the BBC got to banning, what its like to live in Liverpool home of the loveable moptops and why this led someone to have a fight with a bus, David Bowie gets revenge, “preverts”, BBC2 launches in a blaze of silence and then troubling mild racism, we get all gooey over Anthony Newley and we spend most of our time promoting other podcasts we’ve done. We’re ace us.
If you like this, please share the link if you would or recommend us via iTunes *here*, our Twitter feed or a flying robot William Hartnell. We really appreciate it. Thank you.

The TATP Years: 1966
“Here is a box, a musical box, wound up and ready to play. But this box can hide a secret inside. Can you guess what is in it today ?” Oh, its The TATP Years with an all new mixtape of TV, news, film, comedy, adverts and of course the music of 1966. Some of the world was psychedelic and groovy whilst many others were still happily sat in their Parker Knoll authentic imitation armchairs with pie and chips watching Batman and David Frost on their monochrome tellies. Not together, although that would’ve been amazing, obviously…
DOWNLOAD IT HERE
There’s music from an incredibly varied bunch including Love, The Isley Brothers, Anthony Newley and Delia Derbyshire, The Vogues, Jeff Beck, The Monkees, James and Bobby Purify, The London Jazz Four, Judy Street, Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood, The Creation, The Beach Boys, The Left Banke and more!
TV, radio and film comes from Camberwick Green, Batman: The Movie, Our Man Flint, Alfie, Kenny Everett, Carry On Screaming, Wild Angels, Doctor Who, Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, Georgy Girl, The Frost Report, Jonathan Miller’s Alice In Wonderland, Bill Cosby and The Monkees (again).
The TATP Years is a monthly podcast throughout 2013 to give each mix a bit more time in the sun and offer something nice to look forward to. You can get them all from the TATP site itself or via iTunes *here* and if you think we’re the sort of mixtape monkeys you’d like to share with the world, please consider giving us a nice review and rating so other decent souls with excellent taste in podcast nonsense might find their way here too. Thank you!

The Ben Baker Music Show: One
Hello! You’re looking well. Sorry about last time. I think it was a bad bit of fish. Anyway, whilst you’re here perhaps you’d like to listen to a new downloadable radio podcast programme thing? Its a bit of extra-curricular solo jaunt for TATP‘s Ben Baker with music, comedy, shouting and general bemusement, plus some top musical choices along the way. The first show features The Damned, The Social Services, TISM, The Hector Collectors, MJ Hibbett and the Validators, Sounds Of Swami, The Starlight Orchestra And Singers and more besides.
Plus: Failing to make light of a bad situation, Bob Dylan (or is it Roland Rat?) gets heckled again, a Birmingham based Green Day tribute, playing Nina and Frederik for fun and profit, Jo f**king Whiley introduces the top ten greatest albums of all time, Coldplay‘s finest piece of music ever, The Tracks Of My (Ben Baker (Off this Radio Programme)) ‘s Years visits 1980, the first track of possibly the greatest compilation album ever, some fighting and much (a very small amount) more.
If you don’t want to download it, the show is also available on Mixcloud here. Background music courtesy of Ben Prunty, Ole Jensen And His Music and Zalza. All music used without permission but with a lot of love and kisses. Please let me know what you think on the iTunes page or my email – ben@tatp.org. Please note: this contains swears. A very many of them. Enjoy!

Cult Bin Corner: I Hear A New World
Today on TATP, a bit of an experiment in putting images to an old discussion between Ben Baker and Tim Worthington from the 2011 podcast “Talk About The Weather”. This first clip is a visit to “Cult Bin Corner” as Ben is schooled by Tim about the brilliance and lunacy of 50s / 60s record producer Joe Meek and his bizarre cancelled sci-fi noisescape LP “I Hear A New World”.
