  • Songs for our Funeral
    Oct 14 2024

    How do you choose a song to sum up your life? How do you choose a song to be remembered by? Where do you even start?

    In this episode, each of us chooses three songs each that could be played at our funeral.

    It is a kind of audio will. Recorded for posterity for anyone who happens to be organising either man's funeral and wondering what songs to choose.

    What songs would you choose? Jump on the socials and tell us.

  • Behind the One Hit Wonders
    Sep 11 2024

    You know the song, but maybe not the band. You can sing along, but you don't know anything else they've done.

    This episode, Leon and Adrian choose a one hit wonder each, listen to the whole album and dive into the story behind each band.

    Find out why The Buggles, who wrote Video Killed the Radio Star only made two albums.

    Prepare yourself for the fascinating story behind Chumbawamba, the band that made the earworm, Tubthumping.

    Let us know on the socials how you did on the quiz:

  • Confession Booth: Aretha Franklin and Fleetwood Mac
    Jul 2 2024

    In your lifetime, there are some albums that you simply must listen to.

    We had heard the music of the following two artists, but we had never before listened to these albums in full:

    Young Gifted and Black by Aretha Franklin

    and

    Rumours by Fleetwood Mac

    Sometimes this kind of musical experience will simply be an education in music history, at other times it will be like discovering a parcel of pure joy. Sometimes it is a bit in between.

    Which of these did we experience when listening to Franklin and Fleetwood?

    Get in contact with Leon and Adrian, tell us what you thought of the episode:

  • Forgotify
    Jun 10 2024

    It is staggering how many songs on streaming services do not have even one listen.

    Yep. No one has ever listened to them, even the person uploading them apparently!

    Ade and Leon visit Forgotify.com, a site that serves up tracks on Spotify that have never been listened to.

    The challenge was to listen to the first ten songs that were presented and report back.

    What do you imagine the tracks were like?

    Basement singer songwriters?

    Bedroom EDM?

    Bizarre metal?

    The truth will surprise you.

    Enjoy fascinating chat on the state of streaming services, technology and the music industry in general.

  • Gig Report: Wilco and TFS
    May 6 2024

    There is nothing quite like seeing live music. Right around the same time Leon and Adrian saw two shows in different Australian cities that may have been almost the polar opposite.

    One was in the Sydney Opera House, the other was in a Brisbane pub venue. One was a stand alone band, the other was 4 bands touring under the name, "Cellophane Honeymoon". One experience was of a tightly controlled musical curation, the other was a menagerie of noisy guitar.

    *please note that due to the name of a band discussed, there are several expletive words used

  • The Greatest Bands That Never Existed
    Apr 22 2024

    Some of the greatest bands never actually existed.

    Sometimes bands exist to service something fictional, be it in a film, book or tv show.

    This episode features what we think are the greatest fictitious bands to ever exist. Four from Adrian, four from Leon with a special bonus....

    ... As a special treat, the final two bands come from the following challenge:

    **Invent a fictitious band each and present them for your listening pleasure**

    Can you think of any bands we missed that should have been on the list? Crucial Taunt or The Jolly Green Giants? Maybe the Be Sharps?

  • Albums of Agony and Adulation
    Apr 8 2024

    Adrian and Leon share an album with each other. Adrian loves the album he shared with Leon and the same goes for the album Leon shared with Adrian.

    However, the person sharing the album has carefully chosen an album that the other will hate. The exercise is to choose an album that will cause extreme irritation and displeasure by listening to it.

    The joy of this chat is hearing the different ways that each person hears the same album.

    Adrian has recommended Aja by Steely Dan and Leon recommended Chance Meeting on a Dissecting Table of a Sewing Machine and an Umbrella by Nurse with Wound.

    What do you think of these albums? Engage with the socials:
