There is still time before Christmas to get yourself/loved one a copy of my memoir “Three and A Half Minutes of Fame” charting the almost-rise of various bands I drummed for back in the 90s! There is also an audiobook version, closely followed by the documentary that is currently in production - check out @3andahalfminutesfilm for more info... #MusicMemoir #bookstagram #threeandahalfminutes #Indiepop #indierock #records #alternativerock #traviscut #vinyl #nonfiction #newmodernbooks #NewBooks #NewBook #90s #90sMusic #Britpop #RockMemoir #MusicIndustry #MusiciansLife #TourLife #BandLife #Bookstagram #MusicHistory #indiemusic #indie #alternativemusic #MusicBooks #MusicBook

In episode 123, we welcome back Alex Boucher MBE and yes, since his last appearance on the podcast, he’s only gone and picked up an MBE!
Last time Alex joined us, we talked about his book Three And A Half Minutes Of Fame, which explored his brushes with fame in various guises throughout the 90s music scene. This time, he’s taking things a step further by turning the story into a documentary and he needs your help to make it happen. You can support the project via the crowdfunding link below!
In this episode, we dive into the aims of the documentary, comparing what it’s like to be in a band trying to make it in the 2020s versus the 90s, and exploring the challenges, changes, and familiar pitfalls that musicians still have to navigate today.

Stupid & Contagious STORE
Welcome to The Stupid And Contagious podcast, a podcast focused on bringing you interviews with the bands that defined a generation!
That generation grew up in the 90s with the Grebo bands (Senseless Things, PWEI, Neds Atomic Dustbin, Mega City Four, The Wonderstuff and many more) on the UK side of the pond and quickly joined by the grunge bands (Nirvana, Mudhoney, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden and many more) on the US side of the pond.
We are not limiting ourselves to these genres though, we will chart the guitar bands from all genres throughout the decade that was the 1990s.
If you are into 1990s guitar music or just a music lover in general then this is the podcast for you!

I’ve been collecting quite a few good shoegaze records this year, so wanted to share some bands you may have missed…

I’m having an Oceansize day and nobody can stop me! Seriously though, why they didn’t get bigger is just confounding #oceansize #vinyldiscoveries #recordcollectionpost #tshirt #vinyl
A vintage year for music, covering many genres and some of them being released on the same day! What a time to be alive

Glad and sad to get this record, as it’s the last release by @bandofvirgins after deciding to split a few months ago - would have been great to see them play and still on the lookout for their album too! However, from the ashes comes @s_i_l_k_b_a_n_d

Good morning - time for one of my favourite records, the epic Dig your Own Hole by Chemical Brothers released in April 1997. I love the drums on this! Some excellent rhythms and really high up in the mix too 🤘🏻

Bull & Gate Pop Club listing from this day in 1992: being a fresh-faced young teenager, I didn’t tell my folks the name of the band we were playing with, in case they got the wrong idea 🤪#threeandahalfminutes #bullandgatekentishtown #popclub #1992 #90smemorabilia
