21 episodes

Our hosts, Dave and Mark, are two music obsessives who first met in 2008 at the community radio station RTRFM 92.1 in Perth, Western Australia. Bonding over a love of post punk and other alternative music genres, they soon began making music together and are still heavily involved in the city's fertile local music scene. They also like nothing more than a yarn about music, and their favourite (or not so favourite) bands. These conversations are often amusing, sometimes serious and occasionally, potentially libellous. Thus, the idea for this podcast was born. Each episode the lads choose a theme and each select five songs to explore the topic. The show is free flowing and so the facts are sometimes hazy and the chat can go in any direction. This is not your typical music show.

    Songs about Shoes and Boots

    Songs about Shoes and Boots

    Lets face it, most of us can't get away with walking very far barefoot. The first shoes emerged in the ice age in 40000bc and were made of bark. By 2023, the footwear industry is estimated to be worth around USD 403.18 billion.
    It's hard to avoid footwear when it comes to songs. Red shoes are a particularly popular topic for example, as are celebrations of sneaker brands.
    We're talking Shoes and Boots on today's episode.

    Modern Protest

    Modern Protest

    Even as far back as ancient Greece, Plato believed in the power of music to affect and move the masses and suggested using it to inform and inspire people.
    Modern protest reflects the modern world, so we're talking about how this is reflected in music. Covering such topics, such as;  gender politics, the Black lives matter movement and the me too  movement through the choice of five great tracks.

    Violence in music

    Violence in music

    On todays episode we turn our attention to the theme of violence in music. Touching on such tales as the singer who couldn't stop stabbing people. To the artist known as "Killer", who once shot his bass player, and another time his own home with a machine gun to wake up his friends to carry on the party. 
     
     We are more peaceful characters at the pod, this is more our vibe, 
    “Violence is not the answer, it is the question, and the answer is no.” – Norman Mailer

As with every episode, we have 5 tracks to discuss and the accompanying playlist is right here.
