Blog
Out of Left Field brings you the popular and fringe culture podcast, 5282, concentrating on Music, Film and Television.
Each episode we explore a general topic such as 'Were The Beatles a folk band?', or discuss a particular creative, such as Annette Peacock. Once a month, we produce a recommendations episode containing material you may have heard of and much you've never come across. No remote region of creativity is overlooked as hosts Kevin Petch, Rob Wood, Phil Todd and David Benn explore culture through the 1950's to the early 1980's.
Plus everything after then.
And most of what happened back to... well, pretty much the end of the Younger Dryas.
Plus the occasional guest interview and performance.
We dedicate this page to William Astbury, who started this journey with us, but sadly passed away in 2024.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Alt. Clockwork Orange and Leonora Carrington
Published: Monday, February 5, 2024
Flann O'Brien and The Pet Shop Boys compete with Ken Russell and Leonora Carrington for your attention and clicks. There are no losers, only ... er, culture. Kevin Petch and Bill Astbury discuss the alternative universe film version of A Clockwork Orange, originally slated to be directed by Russell. And the incredible talent of British surrealist Carrington is somehow crammed into twenty minutes. Plus Dave mixes up It Couldn't Happen Here and It Can't Happen Here.
Which is easily done.

Were The Beatles a folk band and Michelangelo Antonioni
Published: Monday, January 29, 2024
Kevin Petch and William Astbury discuss albums, gigs and books. In the first section they ask were The Beatles a folk band? Surely it's a yes or no answer? In the second section they discuss the career and influence of Italian film director Michelangelo Antonioni.
In between we recommend obvious and obscure bands, albums and films you might find time to listen to, watch or ignore.

Classic 1st albums and Mark Sturdy interview
Published: Monday, January 22, 2024
Kevin Petch and William Astbury discuss albums, gigs and books. In the first section they ask, which artists would be remembered if they had made only one album? Contenders include Captain Beefheart and Curved Air. And Kevin throws in a curve ball, to make the point. In the second section Kevin interviews Mark Sturdy to celebrate 20 years (and a bit) of Truth And Beauty: The Story Of Pulp.
In between we recommend obvious and obscure stuff you might find time to listen to, watch or thumb through.
