Episode 29 - Badges on Button Street

Your hosts are still reeling from a recent interview they conducted with WILL SERGEANT for an upcoming episode, and they are giddy and distracted. This episode ostensibly centers around Echo & The Bunnymen's new record deal, but spirals out of control when Courtney takes an abrupt conversational detour and decides its time to revisit A SHALLOW MADNESS, rehashing the difficult dynamic between Julian Cope/Ian McCulloch. Then the hosts take a stroll down Balfe Boulevard where the discussion is again derailed by a cursory exploration of DALEK I LOVE YOU, and David Balfe endearingly hails Julian Cope as “not quite nobody, but not one of the main guys.” Along the way, Mac starts showing a degree of initiative, and Shane mentions TEARS FOR FEARS twice for no reason. The conversation deteriorates into a pile up of sidebars and segues, that somehow coalesce into an offer from a record company that can't be refused. However, none of it really seems to matter because in the next episode will be an interview with the greatest guitarist of all time, WILL SERGEANT. Hopefully this episode will keep you occupied in the meantime.
