    Episode 3: The Beatles Part 1 - The Pre-Peppers Years

    The Beatles’ pre-Sgt. Pepper years are packed with bold turns, unforgettable melodies and songs that still invite debate. Ash and Matthew build their own 12-track Beatles albums, then get into the records, deep cuts and studio choices that shaped the band’s early evolution. Ash and Matthew’s Beatles selections reveal two different ways of approaching the early catalogue: as a carefully sequenced listening journey and as a collection of songs too strong to leave behind. Expect deep affection, friendly disagreement and the reminder that even familiar classics can still hold a new discovery. Along the way, they review Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by the Smashing Pumpkins and Never Loved Elvis by the Wonder Stuff, trade quick-fire verdicts on another round of underrated/overrated/properly rated, and launch a new questionable “Question Time” segment. No guest this episode—just two record-obsessed hosts, plenty of detours, and homework for next time.

    Episode 2: Finding 'The Cure' - building our ultimate Cure LP, Top 5 Movie Soundtracks and a stack more

    The Cure sit at the heart of this episode: a deep dive into the band’s sprawling catalog, their best-loved songs, and the albums that still hit hardest decades later. Along the way, there’s also a lively debate about movie soundtracks, cult classics, and a few hot takes that are guaranteed to spark arguments. It’s a record-club-style conversation that swings from new releases and live albums to nostalgic soundtrack picks and rapid-fire overrated/underrated judgments. If you love alternative rock, vinyl talk, or the kind of music chat that jumps from The Cure to Kenny Loggins to Badly Drawn Boy without warning, this one’s for you. A few of the albums and artists discussed near the top of the show include Pulp’s recent live release, Jack White’s latest solo record, Radiohead ticket luck, and a quick detour through Beatles box sets and deluxe reissues.

Part nostalgia trip, part heated debate club, every episode mixes deep-dive music discussion with the kind of unfiltered banter you’d only get from two dads who still care way too much about b-sides and album sequencing. What to Expect • Album deep dives — pulling apart classic and current records track by track • Themed segments — like “Top 5 B-Sides” or picking the ultimate 12-song LP from a single band’s back catalogue • Hot takes — unapologetic opinions on overrated legends, underrated gems, and everything in between • 90s roots, present-day ears — equal love for the decade that raised them and the artists still pushing things forward The Vibe Think less polished radio show, more two friends arguing about Radiohead’s tracklist over a beer — except someone hit record. It’s for anyone who still buys vinyl, misses the liner notes, and thinks music discourse is basically a competitive sport.
