Show Notes
This week I have the honour of speaking with one of the most important people in rock n roll history, and one of my best friends... It's Uncle Mike! These days he's a legendary DJ on the New York scene, still rockin bods in the finest spots in the city - when he's not rockin a union suit in a Spaghetti Western remake that is - but back in the day, this guy was at the top of his game at Epic and EMI Records. He signed the Fun Lovin' Criminals and worked with some of the biggest rock, metal and alternative acts around. Check this pod for the full story of how the FLC got signed and went from schleppin ice and answering phones at the Limelight club to playing to 90,000 on tour with U2. We talk about the magical days of Bungalow 8 when Mike and I both had a drink on the menu named after us, the time Puffy "borrowed" a lighter from Mike, how we came to meet Joe Strummer in our underwear and what Sharon Osborne is really like... There is truly too much to even summarise, so the best thing to do is kick back... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
