Cults

Obsessive. Demanding of attention. Acclaimed. No, we're not talking about ourselves for a change, it's the bands that earn just that little bit extra devotion - the cult bands. This episode: Bill has been worshiping at the alter of dark industrial techno in the cathedral of Vatican Shadow, as Clint bonds with his child to the sounds of Rex Orange County. After casting off all pretense of objectivity, Bill denies joining the KISS army after seeing a cover band at the age of 12; states he would be willing to part with cash for a Radiohead album of flatulence, while diving off into a detailed history of the finer parts of Detroit electronica. Hooray, Mr Bungle FINALLY make a playlist. Clint reveals a knowledge of Sydney proto-punk music that appears unnatural for someone who was in Perth as a child at the time; discloses he probably ended up buying two thirds of the total albums MC 900 ft. Jesus sold in Australia, and yet still can't get himself in to the blues. By the end of his list, Mick Thomas has now officially been mentioned more often on the podcast than Courtney Barnett. All hail the new king! Finally, after whipping out the fan club membership cards, Kim Gordon does Kim Gordon things on her debut album, and The Darkness keep cock-rock alive.
