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…

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…

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…

The Stone Roses – The Stone Roses

For our 18th podcast we flash back to 1989 and The Stone Roses eponymous debut. 

Covering all imperative topics this week for example what the actual description for a bathroom cabinet is (ummm a bathroom cabinet), Walt Gold’s yawning getting out of control and The Dude drops a bombshell about this album that outrages Walt Gold. 

Will a 20 year friendship prevail or has The Dude thrown a proverbial spanner into the works?

Led Zeppelin – IV

We revisit the untitled 4th classic by Led Zeppelin.

Discussing everything from putting a bullet in a builder’s leg, starting fights with shoplifters, and creating playlists for unborn children – we finally take on board the feedback from our listeners and integrate tracks into the pod.

Next stop?  World domination

The Sex Pistols – Never Mind The Bollocks

On our 12th podcast we take a listen to ‘Here’s The Sex Pistols, Never Mind The Bollocks’. 

Between comparing Sid Vicious to Kim Kardashian (of course), overcoming technical issues and seemingly attempting to swear as much as possible we get to the bottom of what is undoubtedly a stone cold classic.

The Prodigy – The Fat Of The Land

Is the 1997 album from UK band The Prodigy the anti-thesis of Britpop, or was it the start of a new wave of music for electronic trance?  All that, plus one exceptional unedited gaffe…

David Bowie – The Next Day

“Bowie could sing the Yellow Pages, and it’d sound amazing.” – Gold, Walt.

Truer words have definitely been spoken.  However, one can’t deny the music and songs from the 24th studio album by David Robert Jones.

Oasis – (What’s The Story) Morning Glory?

For our 2nd Episode, we tackle, the 2nd studio album by English rock band Oasis – (What’s The Story) Morning Glory?

Claimed to have sold over 22 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time, and appears on several lists of the greatest albums in rock music.

As of July 2018, it is the UK’s 5th best-selling album of all time, having sold over 4.7 million copies, and was also the biggest-selling album of the 1990s in the UK.

Radiohead – The Bends

This week’s conversation is on British rock band Radiohead’s album – The Bends.

Their second studio album, released on 13 March 1995 saw the band progress musically from their debut album, Pablo Honey.

While the band didn’t quite scale the peaks that their debut single had in the US charts, peaking in the US charts at #88, it reached #4 on the UK charts.

Critically acclaimed by some, slated by others, the band themselves would come to love some songs of the album, and hate others.

Amid a torturous few years for the band, this was the perfect album for them to create as the prelude to their career defining release a few years later.
