Episode 207: In Conversation with Colours of Ever (Jason Beil and Brian Linnen) Permanent Record Podcast is happy to welcome Colours of Ever to the program.  Jason Beil and Brian Linnen have been making music together since....wait a second!  Did we just say "Brian Linnen"?  Like the same Brian Linnen who has co-hosted 206 episodes of this podcast?  HE'S a guest on the show???  How can this be??? Well, with their debut CD out today, we wanted to share some of Brian and Jason's songs with you and let you know how you can get a copy of the album "Waiting For Something."  So Brian had to shift over to the guest chair, leaving Sarah to run the board and the show.   Of course, Sarah is not without influence in the world of podcasting, so she made a call to the great Eric Miller, formerly of the Pods and Sods Network and currently of Stone Turtle House Concerts, and asked him to join her for a discussion with two men who many are calling "the most important and influential musicians of their generation."   Yeah, we're gonna need to see a citation for that!! But anyway, together, Sarah, Eric, Jason, and Brian talk about 40 years of writing music together, creativity and influences, singles and remixes, and the brand new CD "Waiting For Something", available now on Bandcamp and on streaming platforms starting in October 2026.  We had a great time recording this one and we hope you will enjoy listening!!  And don't forget to visit Colours of Ever on Bandcamp at    You can follow Colours of Ever on Facebook at  Read more at  Visit us at You can also find us on Threads: Check out some pictures at Join the ever-growing crowd on BlueSky: Leave a voicemail for Brian & Sarah at (724) 490-8324 or  - we're ready to believe you!

Episode 205: Pet Shop Boys – Please (1986) – Part 3 Brian and Sarah are back at their microphones to continue their discussion of Please, the debut album by the Pet Shop Boys.  In Part 2, our hosts discussed the first two songs on the album. The next song up for discussion is “Opportunities (Let’s Make Lots of Money),” which, like the track before it, had two different versions released. However, unlike “West End Girls,” neither version of “Opportunities” was produced by Bobby O.  “Opportunities” also had two videos released, and interestingly, each host was more familiar with a different video. Brian and Sarah talk about all three versions of the song (to include the version recorded with Bobby O), both videos, and the single’s interesting chart history, which includes a run as recent as 2021. During this discussion, several movies are mentioned too: Midnight Cowboy, Wise Blood, and Raiders of the Lost Ark.  After a thorough examination of “Opportunities,” our hosts move on to track four, which is yet another single. “Love Comes Quickly” differs from the preceding songs, however, in that only one version was released. Sarah shares a Smash Hits review of the song written by someone in another PRP-approved band, which Brian is quite happy to hear.  A discussion of “Love Comes Quickly” would be incomplete without mentioning the iconic single sleeve, featuring Chris Lowe in a “BOY” hat. And of course, the video for this song is covered as well, including the declaration from one of its directors that the video was “a complete disaster.”  Putting aside the video, both hosts agree that “Love Comes Quickly” is a beautiful song, and they talk about the fact that Neil and Chris think so too, even to this day. But as much as Brian loves the PSB version of the song, he reveals there’s one person he wished would have recorded a cover. Who is this mystery artist? You’ll have to listen to find out!
