Author and journalist Pete Paphides on how to write about childhood

It's November 1988, and the latest chapter in the successful NOW compilation series is launched - and looking at the cover, it really is heading out of this world! And what an interesting period Autumn 1988 was! Shiny pop classics from the likes of Yazz, Erasure and Brother Beyond rubbing shoulders with seasoned artists rediscovering the glories of the charts - that's you Bryan Ferry, The Hollies and Tom Jones! Meanwhile new and exciting dance acts were looking to the next decade with Inner City, Bomb the Bass and The Beatmasters flying the dancefloor flag. Oh, and did we mention ACIEED?Rap was (weirdly) looking back to the 60s and several experienced acts of the 1980s were having a slight 'identity crisis'. What do you do, when you're not really the Next Big Thing anymore?Join author, journalist and broadcaster Pete Paphides as we explore an LP packed with interesting tracks that tell an even more interesting story of pop as the eighties began to draw to a close. And having Pete onboard, we also discuss his exciting new record label Needle Mythology and his wonderful 2020 biography 'Broken Greek' - a story of chip shops and pop.Find out how the Isley Brothers infiltrated (at least) three tracks, what makes a classic Big Eighties Ballad, the band that were auctioned off to Stock, Aitken and Waterman, which artists on NOW 13 have 'the kindest faces' and what links Trevor and Simon and Wee Papa Girl Rappers. And find out why Hue and Cry probably won't be returning our calls. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

NOW 13 - Autumn '88: Pete Paphides

For my 100th Nostalgia Interview, it was a massive pleasure to meet Pete Paphides, a music journalist who has written for Melody Maker, Q and Time Out and has been the chief music critic for The Times. Pete’s memoir Broken Greek, with the wonderful sub-title A Story of Chip Shops and Pop Songs, was Radio 4’s Book of the Week.    Pete also went to Lampeter, where he studied Philosophy from 1989-92, and Pete begins the interview by talking about his fond memories of rainy mornings in Lampeter and the culture shift he experienced from having left the city of Birmingham for one of the smallest campuses in the country. Pete relays his experiences of hearing the sound of sheep at night and we talk about the notion of ‘infinite choice’.    Pete tells us about his more recent, very felicitous visit to a shoe shop in Aberaeron and we learn that Pete wrote Broken Greek in coffee shops – and how Lampeter kickstarted the idea of the café as office. Pete talks about his reasons for writing what he calls a ‘confusion memoir’ and how he wanted to put the reader in his head space.    We talk about his very early memory of sitting in his parents’ car and hearing Leo Sayer’s ‘When I Need You’, how from the ages of 4-7 he had selective mutism, and we learn that for Pete music was a proxy means by which he understood his life.    We talk about childhood diaries, how music was an imperfect mirror of what was going on in the world around him, how we tend to look back on childhood decisions and tastes and how it is wrong to apply to them adult categories. Pete dissects the concept of Guilty Pleasures, which is applied to Abba, and we learn why Hag’s Record shop is the reason why he decided to stay in Lampeter.    We learn why Pete made a point of keeping in the book the real name of one of the ‘characters’ from his past, and we learn his thoughts on Paul McCartney and ‘Mull of Kintyre’, and what happened on Christmas Day 1977 involving a racist neighbour and an unexpected act of kindness.    Then, towards the end of the interview we learn why writing Broken Greek was an escape of sorts. We learn how Pete came to write it and how he never thought he’d make a living out of writing (as a music journalist). Pete tells us why his 10 year old self was in some ways smarter than his 25 year old self, and at the very end we discover why Pete looks forward practically but looks back sentimentally.
