MGMT – Congratulations feat. Dan Mac (Art v Science)

A milestone for The Golden Ducks as we reach our 40th pod.

Dan selects the notoriously difficult 2nd album by American rock band MGMT entitled ‘Congratulations’. Dan brings his A game giving insights…

The Clash – The Clash

It’s pod #39 and despite the global pandemic (and the fact 39 is in fact both of our ages) The Golden Ducks return and discuss the eponymous 1977 debut album by The Clash. TD describes in impressive detail the origins of his French heritage (and his love of cheese and croissants because you know, they’re…

Red Hot Chili Peppers – Californication

We rip into the 7th studio album by the Red Hot Chili Peppers – ‘Californication’.   The Golden Ducks rant and rave about the global epidemic that is the lack of toilet paper and dive into their reasons for being ‘scrunchers’ and not ‘folders’. TD can barely contain his excitement and proclaims every song pretty much…

Grace Jones – Portfolio

Welcome to pod 37 where we tackle Grace Jones’ debut album ‘Portfolio’. The Golden Ducks discuss all of the worlds most pressing issues including the origins of Pavlova, the scope of Australian inventions versus Welsh inventions, the importance of the double cheek kiss, going to bed early and all the while cruising through this seventies…

Pulp – Different Class

Pod #36  and this week we flash back to 1995, and Pulp’s ‘Different Class’. WG struggles to effectively describe Sheffield and ends up just making shit up. TD’s memory once again fails him (consistently, repetitively, and without a shred of irony) and The Golden Ducks suddenly go all deep on us and question the significance…

Frank Ocean – Blonde

Podcast 35 and our first of the 2020! The Golden Ducks tackle Pitchforks selection for #1 album of the decade in Frank Ocean’s ‘Blonde’. In between identifying their personal picks for album of the decade The Golden Ducks wrestle this masterpiece with TD dissecting every nuance of this album much to WG’s surprise, WG blubbers…

Beastie Boys – Licensed To Ill

Pod #34 has landed and this time we tuck into the debut album by American hip-hop 3 piece Beastie Boys entitled ‘Licensed to Ill’.

The Smiths – The Queen Is Dead

It’s pod #33 & we throw around the room the 3rd studio album by The Smiths ‘The Queen Is Dead’.  TD discusses his current lack of meat intake (and then immediately contradicts himself), Walt Gold cannot help himself and mentions the Morrissey’s quiff at the first opportunity he gets, and once again The Golden Ducks…

Van Halen – Fair Warning feat. Hamish Rosser (The Vines; Wolfmother)

Whilst special guests are normally reserved for every 10 pods we throw the rule book out of the window and make way for Australian rock royalty as we welcome former drummer of The Vines and current drummer for Wolfmother, the legend that is the mighty Hamish Rosser! Hamish charms us with his down to earth…

Blur – Parklife

We visit the 3rd album by the mighty Blur titled ‘Parklife’, which in many ways marked the of birth of Britpop. TD confuses and contradicts whilst addressing the albums ‘diddy’, WG resorts to counter the ‘diddy’ argument by insisting TD plays the most random of ‘diddys’, and all the while it’s apparent The Golden Ducks…
