It’s part two of our PJ Harvey episode and on this episode we discuss Is This Desire? itself and get our nexus selections out of the way too. Is this her unsung classic?

This week we welcome special guest Vicki Henry to talk about an artist Chris has been dying to do since before this podcast began. Then it got out of hand and turned into a two parter. This week: the history of PJ Harvey and a run down of her records.

16 albums in just over 1 hour and 30 minutes? Aye, why not. This week we deep dive Waits’ discography, from piano bar blues to weird beatboxing and everything in between. Is his 12th album Mule Variations his unsung classic though?

Ya bois are back together again. Well, we’re back together in a socially distant way. This week, Dave brings us some titanic French post-metal in the form of Year of No Light.

Recorded in 1978 and released in 1996, Static Age is the Misfits’ first album, and yet it almost didn’t see the light of day at all. Is this record an important punk album? Is it even unsung? We’re joined this week by Anna Goldthorp!

Formed after Kim Deal decided to go her own way after The Pixies went on hiatus, Pod is a huge statement of intent from what began ostensibly as something of a supergroup before blossoming into a band whose sound still influences artists to this day.

We get as far away as possible from dance music on this episode. We also cover one of the shortest albums we’ve ever had on this podcast. If you like angry music you’ve probably heard of Nails. If you read Pitchfork, you’ve probably heard of them too. It’s a paradox, really. We talk about that and more as we discuss their debut album ‘Unsilent Death’.

It’s been a while since we did a dance record, so Weaver wheels out one of the big guns with Orbital’s fifth album ‘The Middle of Nowhere’. We cover the band, the scene they came from, their contemporaries and much more.

We get down to the business of talking about three Britpop(ish) records and make a case for why the whole thing was a bit of nonsense.

Important genre of music? Massive marketing exercise? Fred Perry, Euro 96 and a beer with the boys down the pub? LADS LADS LADS? We discuss all of this and more in part one of our Britpop Mixtape. Oh and by the way? Probably one of our best episodes yet. No lie.

After 15 albums you’d think it would prove difficult for a band as influential as the Melvins to do something different. Except, that’s exactly what they did on A Senile Animal. Four vocalists? Check. Two drummers? You got it. Mighty bass and guitar tones? Absolutely. This is what happens when Melvins incorporated Big Business into their band.

Is it hip hop? Is it jazz? Is mental? The answer is yes. Flying Lotus’ approach to smashing genres together to suit his own ends is truly born on this, his third album. But is it worthy of a place in our discography? You decide.

Seems we spoke to soon when we said we were going to try to make our episodes come in around the hour mark, but in order to do Kate Bush justice, an hour is just not enough. After the success of our last episode, we give Weaver the choice of another album. His choice? Kate Bush’s 8th album, Aerial. Buckle up.

We return to the regular format by doing a complete run down of the Deftones’ back catalogue, before asking if their self titled album is their unsung classic. Warning: this episode is LONG. But it really is a complete overview of their career. So, y’know, can’t say fairer than that.

Our festive two parter is now officially a three parter. On this episode the booze kicks in, so we begin to talk about our favourite cover versions and favourite one hit wonder.

We get proper festive in this episode. Copious amounts of alcohol consumed? Check. Nonsense opinions aired in a semi-coherent fashion? Check. GIFT GIVING? Check. We also answer more questions. Oh, and this has now grown into a three parter. It concludes next week. Sorry not sorry.
