The jaunt into Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five's The Message continues as the lads explore an urban hell-scape that is regrettably perennially and universally familiar... there is about half the song to go.

Hello hello... how low? The dharmic journey continues in Part 2 of this autopsy of the iconic breakout hit from 90's doom merchants, Nirvana. Rejoin Ming and Hugo as they take on this gargantuan piece of death-pop, and analyse its riddle-some lyrics line by line. As a couple of nineties gents, our two hosts have quite the personal history with this song... so will Hugo ever shut up about Buddhism and let Ming get his tale out? and most importantly, will voice of a lost generation, Kurt Cobain, earn a hallowed place in the... Lyrical... Time... Capsule? Turn out the lights, Tune out, and have a taste. Yay?

Take a lyrical spin on the wheel of Samsara, as Ming and Hugo forensically examine this slab of nihilistic doom from Generation X's ur-rockband, the poetically named Nirvana. This quarter, the lads take on the challenge of deciphering the eldritch riddles of Kurt Cobain's lyrics before the lights go out. What is he trying to say? is the obfuscation all part of some grand point he's making? This is part 1, teen friends...

Join Ming and Hugo as they excavate a megalith of Americano-Swedish pop, Britney's punch-in-the-face of a debut track, "ELLIPSIS... Baby one more time."

And, most importantly, will Britney (and Max Martin) earn a place in the Lyrical... Time... Capsule?

Join Ming and Hugo as they attempt to navigate their way out of the subterranean lyrical cave they have dug for themselves. In this chapter, the 2nd half of Bob Dylan's 2.5 minute spellunking poem is dissected in gory detail. He casts his very critical and sardonic eye over 60's suburban existence, and so do our venerable hosts. What does this slice of beat poet baby boomer rebellion look like now, from the vantage point of late-2021? And will the greatest poet of 20th Century music make it into the Lyrical Time Capsule? Enter this veritable Hades of the podcasting underworld to find out...
