10cc was a favorite band of my sister, Theresa Allore. She owed The Original Soundtrack which contains the hit, I’m Not In Love, so I grew up listening to this a lot. What I didn’t know was that 1975’s The Original Soundtrack was wedged between two EVEN BETTER RECORDS; Sheet Music, and their final effort with the original line-up of Graham Gouldman, Eric Stewart, Kevin Godley, and Lol Creme, How Dare You.

All music from this episode is from 10cc. I won’t earn any money from this podcast, so I don’t owe any money. The intention here is to profile classic, forgotten music. Long live rock n roll:

Malcolm Gladwell – His Way: WKT #28

I attended Trinity College with Malcolm Gladwell at the University of Toronto. In the course of the last thirty years we have attended two weddings together; one infamous and bombastic, the other sweet and unforgettable.

This is a slightly longer version of an an interview I did with Malcolm for GovLove International, a podcast about emerging issues and trends in local government. If you’re wondering what links a conversation with Malcolm Gladwell and a website about unsolved murders consider the issues of social justice:
