Music isn't about life or death. It's much more important than that Middle aged Mixtape

Perm the hair, get out the skinny tie and fire up the little red corvette, it's back to the 80's we go as the boys get together over a few cold ones on the patio of Clint's AirBnB. You may ask yourself, what has happened to my beautiful podcast? This episode:

Bill tries to go Judge Dredd style with Anthrax's "I am the Law", as Clint goes all SJW with "We are the world". While not explicitly stating that he is a living in a material world, Bill does buy in to the electro kraut-rock of Visage, gets his gear off to the New York gay anthem "Male Stripper", and steals your heart to the sounds of Ministry. He knows this is what you want, so this is what you get. Over at the Blue Light Disco, Clint shows why Bowie and Midnight Oil solved racism in Australia, flirts with INXS before getting his first kiss with Paul Kelly. No legal action against us was brought forward by either Rogers Waters or Dave Gilmour. *phew*

Rounding out the decade, Cold Chisel get the band back together for the express purpose of showing that greed is still good, and Thurston Moore harks back to a simpler time where Sonic Youth were all that was right with the world.

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.
