  1. On Every Street - Side A

    2 DAYS AGO

    On Every Street - Side A

    Put that hoe down, it’s a ho-down! We’re going country and we’re going country hard. We’ll take a couple of detours but it’s getting twangy folks! What will Kev make of a song about a phone call? Will Corey finally find that eggplant he’s been thinking of? The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and start a-slippin' and a-slidin'! Songs covered in this episode: "Calling Elvis", "On Every Street", "When It Comes to You", "Fade to Black", "The Bug", "You and Your Friend" Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!

  2. Brothers in Arms - Side B

    NOV 11

    Brothers in Arms - Side B

    We're starting to get close to the finishing line on another season of The Ultimate Catalogue Clash. We're covering the heaviest song in the catalogue as well as one of the most jarringly different songs you'll find on a Dire Straits record! Can Side B live up to the monster hits on Side A? Will Kev make it through Brothers in Arms? Will Corey get over his vehement and entirely unreasonable hatred of reggae?!?!? The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and please hear my confession. Songs covered in this episode: "Ride Across the River", "The Man's Too Strong", "One World", "Brothers in Arms" Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!

  3. Brothers In Arms - Side A

    NOV 5

    Brothers In Arms - Side A

    It's the big one folks! Is there a bigger album from 1985? No. The answer is no. Dire Straits were the biggest act on the planet, but after just over 240 live dates in eighteen months it basically made Mark Knopfler question what the hell they were doing it all for! Speaking of "what the hell are they doing it for?", Kev and Corey are back to talk about Side A of this gigantic album! It's a longer episode because there's lots to dig into in these five songs. Where will the boys land on "those lyrics", Will Corey dig a lullaby on a rock n roll record, and will Kev make up any ground in this season's game? The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and do the song about the knife! Songs covered in this episode: "So Far Away", "Money for Nothing", "Walk of Life", "Your Latest Trick", "Why Worry" Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!

  4. ExtendedancEPlay

    OCT 29

    ExtendedancEPlay

    "Whoa, wait, what's this? This isn't the right album. I was expecting Brothers In Arms Side A today!" we hear you say. But due to Corey's persistant exclamations about Twisting By The Pool, Kev decided that they'd cover The irritatingly-named ExtendedancEPlay! This is a special one off episode however, that switches the format up a little and takes a leaderboard approach to ranking the songs from 1 to 4 on this EP! Will Corey love anything more than Twisting By The Pool, and will Dire Straits have any badges, posters, stickers, or T-Shirts to give away? The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and meet new people at the disco! Songs covered in this episode: "Twisting by the Pool", "Badges, Posters, Stickers, T-Shirts", "Two Young Lovers", "If I Had You" Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!

  5. Love Over Gold - Side B

    OCT 22

    Love Over Gold - Side B

    Well, last week, Kev gave the first ten, ten, and five album side in the show's history so far on Side A. And Corey wasn't too far behind him! Can Dire Straits match the grandeur and intensity of Telegraph Road and Private Investigations? Will Kev enjoy the vibraphonic stylings of Mike Mainieri? Will Corey suffer from smoker's cough or brewer's droop? And will Side B score highly enough for Love Over gold to displace Invisible Touch as the highest ranked album so far? The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and send in another victim of industrial disease.

  6. Love Over Gold - Side A

    OCT 15

    Love Over Gold - Side A

    Only two songs for you this week folks, but there's a whole lot to dig into here! We're taking a literary trip into the rise and fall of a community and then into the seedy filmic underbelly of the private investigator! Is there a side of any Dire Straits album that better defines Mark Knopfler's creative vision for the band? Will Corey love the scope of Telegraph Road? Will Kev have fond memories of this one? The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and run every red light on memory lane.

  7. Making Movies - Side B

    OCT 8

    Making Movies - Side B

    English poet, journalist and literary critic James Fenton once stated that “A cabaret song has got to be written - for the middle voice, ideally - because you've got to hear the wit of the words. And a cabaret song gives the singer room to act, more even than an opera singer.” Words that I think our hero this season, Mark Knopfler took to heart when penning one of the songs on Side B of Dire Straits’ third album, Making Movies. But what will Corey think of that abrupt and very hard left turn into the world of the Munich gay scene? Will he take to a return to a slower pace on Hand in Hand, will Kev make any more spurious claims about lyrics based on his complete misreading of a very clear musical reference? And most importantly, will Corey stump Kev during Money For Nothing? The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and get a little risqué! Songs covered in this episode: "Expresso Love", "Hand in Hand", "Solid Rock", "Les Boys" Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!

  8. Making Movies - Side A

    OCT 1

    Making Movies - Side A

    “Give me my Romeo, and, when I shall die, Take him and cut him out in little stars, And he will make the face of heaven so fine That all the world will be in love with night, anyway, what you gonna do about it….?” This is part of Juliet’s monologue in act 3, scene 2 of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet which premiered in 1597, as abridged by Mark Knopfler, 383 years later, in 1980. Will Corey dig the change of pace? Will this be Kev's highest rated album side this season? Will David Knopfler be missed? Will someone tell that f*****g dog to STOP BARKING!!?!? The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and get crazy on the waltzers. Songs covered in this episode: "Tunnel of Love", "Romeo and Juliet", "Skateaway" Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!
