David Weiss AKA David Was' 80:10 (Pt 1) (Wheel Me Out, Was Not Was LP, either/or)
Manage episode 461308799 series 2844478
Next up is an intriguing chat with one half of the Was Brothers (Was (not Was)) (too many brackets), the eternally interesting Mr David Weiss.
We spoke for a looong time so this will end up in three parts (still lost a couple of hours of tangents in the process).
Part 1 will cover the early years of Was (not Was) including their debut LP as well as plenty of talk of Walk The Dinosaur as well as diversions involving interactions with the likes of Bob Dylan, George Michael and Bruce Springsteen.
The hours flew by. I hope they do for you too.
1. WHEEL ME OUT (1980)
David and childhood buddy Don decide to make some music after their mate Doug hits major success with his band, The Knack and My Sharona (my-y-y-woo!).
They make a funky weird track (involving David's mum) that leads to some underground success...
2. WAS (NOT WAS)
...Thanks to which, the first LP follows, with such gems as Out Come The Freaks and Where Did Your Heart Go. We discuss the Wham! cover and which was the more profitable for David; this or that dinosaur song.
Every track from the album is covered. My original intention for all albums but David's diversions put paid to that (couldn't afford to go for a tenth hour of chat).
EITHER/OR
Madonna or Cyndi Lauper?
Born in the USA or Purple Rain?
Vinyl or CD?
etc, etc...
