    'We're not politicians... we men of no consequence'... and so forth. Join us as we talk about one of the ULTIMATE'S in British crime cinema, 1980's The Long Good Friday.

    Ep. 36) Def Leppard - Hysteria

    Over 20 million sold. One of the ultimate 80s hair metal albums. A monolith in the world of power metal. So much to enjoy by two muppets who have never given Def Leppard the appropriate listens. So what will two men of no consequence make of this terribly famous album? Well, come join the shout fest as they discuss who likes it less. We promise this isn't meant to be 'Two dudes don't care for many things'. Onwards and upwards! Stream Amazon Spotify Buy Amazon Discogs Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Ep 35) Shania Twain - Come On Over

    Oh yes, we're back in less than a month. And we're back with a previously advertised episode! We're talking about the late 90s Country Pop juggernaut called mercilessly 'Come On Over' by the musical tyrant Shania Twain. Come on over and here one presenter desperately tries to keep this ramshackle pod a bit less ramshackle than it needs to be. Come and listen to the other presenter give up on all semblance of trying to discuss the album and curl up into a ball of hate. It's certainly an episode, we promise you that.

    Pop Tarts) Stuart Maconie - Ciders With Roadies

    Welcome to Pop Tarts, Men of No Consequence's lovely bonus show, which comes at no extra cost to you dear listener. Here's the scoop, Adam loves a good music biography, auto or otherwise. Pop Tarts offers us an insight into his opinions on these tomes. On the second edition of this thriving spin-off series, Adam has brought radio favourite Stuart Maconie's 'Cider With Roadies'. 'Cider with Roadies is the true story of a boy's obsessive relationship with pop. A life lived through music from Stuart's audience with the Beatles (aged 3); his confessions as a pubescent prog rocker; a youthful gymnastic dalliance with northern soul; the radical effects of punk on his politics, homework and trouser dimensions; playing in crap bands and failing to impress girls; writing for the NME by accident; living the sex, drugs (chiefly lager in a plastic glass) and rock and roll lifestyle; discovering the tawdry truth behind the glamour and knowing when to ditch it all for what really matters.' https://www.waterstones.com/book/cider-with-roadies/stuart-maconie/9780091897451 Hosted on Acast.

    Ep 34) Donald Fagen - The Nightfly

    The debut solo album by Steely Dan co-creator Donald Fagan. Lauded for its crisp digital precision, sentimental and satirical lyrics, it remains a darling of the audiophiles. So what are we going to make of some razor-sharply produced bossa nova, calypso, disco, R&B, lounge music? Join Us. Come on y'all we're going to have a wing ding!

    Ep 33) Stardust (2020)

    Hello everyone, we're back! With opinions. Opinions of No Consequence. And we're kicking things back off with our first movie pick. In a cross-over with our sister podcast 'Breaking Glass - The David Bowie Catalogue' we're talking the 2020 film 'Stardust'. Focusing on Dear David Bowie's first tour of America, we bear witness to a film so ill-conceived you wonder if it has any right to exist. Exist it does though and Adam & Mike are here to offer opinions. Join us won't you?

    Ep 32) AC/DC - Back in Black

    Well, that return last year didn't turn out quite like we planned but we're back now baby! As we promised nearly 10 months ago we're aptly back talking the juggernaut that is AC/DC's 'Back in Black'. One of the top-selling albums of all time and the band's first album after the death of front-man Bon Scott, there's much to play for here. Adam and Mike, sit down to unpick the album's deep penetrating metaphors. What could the band be saying? Something about death? Something Brian Johnson's Johnson? Penis pleasure? Tallywackers? Tallywackers played by guitars? What could they mean? Join us once more as we work it all out. It's good to be back.
