Mon, 8 February 2010 Shaggy folk pop and twee folk blip mash hairstyles this week as the Classic Albums Podcast considers 2 albums 10 years apart from Badly Drawn Boy and Goldfrapp. Not only that but stapled to the front of this issue is a free Top 5 Camping songs and as much unsupported conjecture as you can stuff in a walking trouser side zip-pocket.

Tue, 22 December 2009 Merry Christmas to you all. Mull the wine, deck the halls, stuff the bird and throw another Tiny Tim on the fire - It's the jolly old, holly old Classic Albums Christmas special, featuring our best of the year roundup, namely the dark, dark, We Used To Think The Freeway Sounded Like A River by Richmond Fontaine, The Decemberist's bleak The Hazards of Love and the chirpy, chipper Our Temperance Movement by Cats on Fire. Crack your nuts and give in to the tide. It's inevitable.

Mon, 14 December 2009 Well, the dog may have eaten our homework but we are back with a winter warmer of fact-based opinion and opinion-based fact. Will Gary have the patience to sit through over an hour of goth mumbling and what will Stephen have to say about Ray Davies' "phenomenal cat"? Click and learn, O truebelievers. Comments[7] |
Wed, 11 November 2009 Timmy the thrush piping his slender notes to the mandolin accompaniment tells us that it is time for another gripping installment of the Classic Albums Podcast, this time featuring the icelandic whale-rock of Sigur Ros and the New-York pray-along of the marvellous Welcome Wagon.

Tue, 29 September 2009 Yo check this! Stephen and Gary get way, way out of their comfort zone - after dark in South Central LA to be exact, hangin' with the home boys and trialing some dodgy automated rap software into the bargain. So will they think the hippety-hop gentlemen are wack (does this mean bad?) or fly (good??). Download, plump your cushions, brew a herbal tea and find out. It go a little somethin' like this...

Wed, 1 April 2009 As spring springs its springe and the nights lighten we bring you the cream of English folk rock in the shape of Fairport Convention and the sneering spoilt-brats of indie in the mis-shapes of Luke Haine's Auteurs. The top 5 films about music get a mention and we discover the Rza can't say his r's, which if you think about it, is a bit of a problem.
