Music Is None Of Our Business

  • MUSIC COMMENTARY
  • UPDATED SEMIWEEKLY

We are Dave and Jake, two 60 year old music fans, and we take on a different theme per episode and pick five relevant songs each. We cover music from the 60's to now, and more or less any genre you can think of. From Punk to Pop, Reggae to Northern Soul, Drum N Bass to Ambient, if it's out there, we'll listen to it. Our best review ever said: "I love this podcast. My new favourite. Never heard Throbbing Gristle and Taylor Swift discussed in any depth in the same decade - let alone in the same conversation."

    Episode Twenty One - When We Were Twenty

    We revisit 1985, well someone had to. Shenanigans galore, some goth, some feedback, some panpipes. Huh? Panpipes? Bloody panpipes? Are we mad? Quite possibly.

    Episode Twenty - When We Were Young

    We discuss being young with a selection of old 70's pop hits we would have heard on the radio and Top Of The Pops when we were aged 5 - 11. Obviously it goes without saying that we stray off topic numerous times and Jake says "Oh dear" a lot.

    Episode Nineteen - Simply The Best (of 2025)

    We go through our Top 10s of 2025, with detours into overpriced records and merch, a rambling explanation of Hauntology, rating Jake's jokes out of 10 and the usual old rubbish.

    1h 44m

    Episode Eighteen - It's Alive!

    We discuss some amazing gigs we've been to as well as moaning about the distress of having to change trains at our age, falling over as opposed to having a fall, time travel via extreme volume and all of the usual shenanigans.

    1h 50m

    Episode Seventeen - Totally Random Man

    We each pick 5 songs that we really, really like. That's a nice simple one. We also cover Jive Bunny, band names with swear words in them and whether it's appropriate to use said swear words, while obviously using them, rubbish remixes and lots more pointless old rubbish.

    1h 39m

    Episode Sixteen - We're The Boys Making All The Noise

    We pick some of our favourite male voices. We also discuss singing with an accent, gravelly voices, the role of wankiness in Prog rock, along with the usual sophisticated humour and discourse you've come to expect.

    1h 34m

  7. 11/07/2025

    Episode Fifteen - Duck & Cover

    We compile some of our favourite cover versions. There are also obscure Kids TV references, saving the world from alien invasion via the medium of bad karaoke, plus the usual going off on tangents, bad jokes, amnesia and general lack of professionalism.

    1h 26m

  8. 10/30/2025

    Episode Fourteen - 1997 Revisited And We Feel Very Old

    We reminisce about 1997. Dave almost finishes a sentence, Jake is as erudite as ever. There are Marianne Faithfull cards making a racket, forgotten gigs, at least one reasonably funny joke, an astounding amount of Instagram views and all the usual mishaps.
