#1 Fanclub
#1 Fanclub is the latest podcast project from Craig (Schizophrenic Music) and Shawn (The Hi-Fi Lo-Down) focused on Power Pop, Britpop and Shoegaze. The Beatles started the revolution but what happened after the breakup that rocked the world? Many bands followed in their footsteps and while none achieved the artistic and commercial success of the Fab Four, hundreds of great records have been recorded since John, Paul, George and Ringo called it quits. The stories of the next generation of bands deserves to be told. With deep research, attention to detail and fun conversation, Craig and Shawn discuss bands such as Big Star, Cheap Trick, Teenage Fanclub and many others that carried on the quest for pop perfection in a world without The Beatles.

Episode 2
Big Star should've been big stars. Despite some of the best songs of any band in the 70's, they never achieved the fame and success they deserved. Only years later were they able to receive the acclaim that eluded them during their short run. In Part 1 of the three part series, Craig and Shawn discuss the history of Big Star and review every song on their classic debut album - #1 Record - that has influenced hundreds of bands since.
