    STEVE REICH

    They said it was only a phase… Ed & Jacques’s opinions sometimes sync up and sometimes don’t on the unique output of influential minimalist composer Steve Reich. Oh, and it’s pronounced ‘Reich’, not ‘Reich’. Just to clear that up. … like Sean Connery saying “rice”. Except he wouldn’t say “rice” like that.   Will Jacques finally ‘crush the Different Trains hegemony’ [citation needed]? Will Ed just fucking GET OVER HAND CLAPPING MUSIC FOR GOD’S SAKE? So… is this the last episode of IN FIVE then?   ONE OF THESE AND SOME will be addressed in this… [looks at calendar] tax year’s edition of In Five!   Check out Jacques & Gender is the Bastard’s Gay Rights/Gay Wrongs on Bandcamp.

    21 - ABBA (Round Table)

    Do we have it in us? How dumb would it be if we ended up picking 2 songs from Voyage? Portishead? Really?! At least 2 of these will be addressed on tonight's sweded simulcast... I'm privileged to be joined, once more, by Rob & Andy (from the estimable Hits 21 Podcast) and effrontery artiste Josh ('Jacques n' Their Box'), as we split the ABBA Gold from the abbatoir in a Voyage to find the middle ground on Sweden's perpetual palindromic pop p...henomenon.

    20 - Radiohead (w/ Jake)

    What the hell are we doing here? Do you understand THEIR ripcord, Thom? Did you ever consider that? What Radiohead song sounds like it was written by a schoolboy? A full third of these will be addressed here, tonight, as “myself” is joined by Politico, Podcaster & Pal Jake to talk about Muse, U2, Dolly Parton and that band that did the sad track from the Romeo & Juliet soundtrack. Did I mention that we talk about Muse?   Here us waffle about relegation tier Pixar movies here: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rebel-chums/episodes/Rebel-Chums-2-18--Cars-3-e4i75n/a-aiemob And check out my favourite albums “challenge” list here: https://rateyourmusic.com/list/RhymeDragWithDrag/shall-i-compare-thee-approaching-my-favourite-albums/

    19 - Blur (w/ Lizzy from Hits 21)

    APPLES AND PEARS AND VARIOUS OTHER FRUIT. Podcast veteran and Hits 21 co-host Lizzy & I celebrate the turn of a new year (and the release of a new album) by recounting the ballad of "Seymour" from Barrett-echoing bargain bin baggy, through “Middle Class” Britpop and eclectic proto-Hail to the Thief noise pop to a broken speaker on Mars. What album proved so controversial it made one of the hosts watch a racist episode of Star Trek? And that one with the horny virus (only if you’re a woman – the men just sweat a bit). How many new ways can be found to say The Great Escape is underwhelming? How would Lizzy deal with the possibility of alien contact? Did that pigtail woman from Moonraker have braces or not? At least 75% of these inquiries will be answered with approx. 60% certainty in this Westwastic edition of In Five.   LINKSES: The Hits21 Podcast ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/7mcG2eHx146WWVzAZBHAqF⁠ My RYM Fave Album Challenge Thingum https://rateyourmusic.com/list/RhymeDragWithDrag/shall-i-compare-thee-approaching-my-favourite-albums/

    18 - Stevie Wonder (w/ Andy from Hits21)

    ‘Why can’t Stevie Wonder tie his own shoelaces?’ ‘Because of a clause in a crippling Motown recording contract signed when he was a child’ Andy from Hits21 joins me to cherish the prestige popcraft of Stevie Wonder … and, of course, to flog one of music criticism’s oldest, deadest horses by noticing how comparatively crap his 80s stuff is (Hotter than July is smashin’, though). What is the opening chord to ‘As’? How do you pronounce moog? Why does no one pick Superstition? Has mint ever been sexy in any context? A good… half to a third of these will ALL be answered!

    17 - Kendrick Lamar (w/ Rob Wilson)

    As Eddie Fisher once sang: 'Kendrick Lamar / to me he was so wonderful...' I'm joined once again by multimedia music polymath Rob for a pretty DAMN. deep discussion skirting BLM, role models, the Confession vs Sin ratio and how Drake is, like, really boring. What track do we happen to agree contains Lamar's worst impulses? Can anyone else match his 5 album run? Is she saying 'go be the change' or 'ghoul beef change'? ALL SHALL BE REVEALED (subjectively, inconclusively, tentatively) in this epoch's IN FIVE! (Special thanks to Rob for editing this episode! Honestly, all I did this time was listen to some hip hop and mutter near a USB mic.) Check out the Hits21 podcast here: https://open.spotify.com/show/7mcG2eHx146WWVzAZBHAqF And, if you're at all power pop-inclined, Rob's remastered EP is GREAT: https://colourfulsevens.bandcamp.com/album/my-thoughts-only-have-more-threads-granola-edit

    16 - The Insane Clown Posse [ICP] w/ Josh Gemmell

    ROLL UP, ONE AND ALL... The show re-emerges in triumphant [?] fashion with a feature length rabbit hole plumbing Juggalos, Faygo-tasting, literary theory, STDs, police profiling... and music, as we deep dive into the defiant output of hip hop's outsider whipping boys, the INSANE CLOWN POSSE. So are we down with the clown? Or down with the clap? Or down and out in Paris and London? Are they gross? or Grossly misunderstood? Or Grosse Pointe Blank starring John Cusack? Find out all of this, darkly, in this ... quarter's [?] IN FIVE.

    15 - THE BEATLES [with Rob, Josh & Andy!]

    Hello hello! Yes, this does still sputter to life from time to time... and what could be more lively than a round table shouting match about discursive war horse/dead horse The Beatles? I'm joined by show regulars Josh and Rob, who is in turned joined by his co-host Andy from the Hits21 Podcast for a timed team tussle over the Fab Four's catalogue. White Album slagging! Ringo love! Number 9 number 9 number 9...
