Remember when we did FUN THINGS? Well, this week we're bringing back our covermount mixtape to talk about Radio Kerrang! Vol. 6 from 1998.

This week we thought it'd be fun to look at music in advertising. It's not an exhaustive list of memorable uses of tunes, but it's fairly robust!

This week we talk about a grindcore and/or powerviolence band that was born from the 90s squat scene in Hamburg by the name of Yacøpsæ.

At the end of our episode on The Knife way back in September 2019 we said that perhaps one day we'd an episode on Fever Ray. Well, that time has finally come. This week in Side A we talk about their history and their first album and in side B we talk about Plunge and the album in question - Radical Romantics.

A rare Bright Eyes triple bill dropping in the one day, here. Juicy! We're joined by Kyle Wood who's perhaps better known as Lovers Turn to Monsters. In part one we go deep into the history of Bright Eyes and Conor Oberst.

After taking a depressing cantor through some of the worst music made by some of the literal worst people ever, we decide to take a look at Ceca and the evolution of turbofolk into the 00s. Then we look at modern examples from the genre and offer musings on the future of it.

Let's talk about turbofolk. If you're unfamiliar with the term it's absolutely not what you think it is. No, it's Serbian (later Balkan) pop music. But it's origins and history are very murky indeed. Over the next four episodes we'll explore it all.

This week we're talking about the only album by Glasgow post-punk/art rock group Life Without Buildings. Alongside that we talk about sprechgesang and sprechstimme, and how those vocal styles define so many acts regardless of genre.

Let's fall into the abyss with The Haxan Cloak. This week, we chat all about the whole (small) discography of The Haxan Cloak and the (larger) discography of Bobby Krilc the film, TV and video game composer.

In the final two episodes of this series on R.E.M. we continue our odyssey into R.E.M.'s discography by completing the rest of the band’s back catalogue from Automatic for the People right up to their disbandment after Collapse Into Now. Then in Side D, Chris tells us why Automatic for the People is their unsung classic.
