The "Muse"iCast

This week, we’re trading film reels for vinyl grooves. Matt’s back, and we’re diving into the world of music—starting with Pop Slop, our term for the way pop music gets unfairly dismissed despite its cultural weight and emotional punch. We’re also tuning into the buzz around a possible Arctic Monkeys return: is it just noise, or is Sheffield’s finest gearing up for something big? Plus, Muse gets the microscope treatment, and we explore what makes their sound so divisive. It’s a genre-hopping, myth-busting episode that asks: what do we really value in music? All of that and then we add the first album by the noughties genre-bending, Hadouken! into the Cage Fighting Record Club.
