Two seasons of great music commentary

A recap of the highlights of 2 years & 45 episodes of this podcast!  Talked about more than 300 artists, shows, and albums - who could ask for more?  They’ve recorded in some of Australia's most remote parts of Australia, regularly bad-mouthed Jeff Buckley, and decided that Alice Cooper was a pretty good guy despite his music after “Welcome to my Nightmare” being pretty terrible! The Rolling Stone 500 Best Songs of all Time got Jeff all hot under the collar: “How does Kelly ****ing Clarkson get into any list of the Top 500 songs?!”Peter from Mackay tried to tell US about Globite School Bags; Gabbie from LA hates Coldplay as much as Mick does; and Ian from Sydney wants more random "I think they're doing the drugs again" spin outs like the idea that a giant Elon Musk battery would revolutionise the Outback.  Ian also started the scandal about Honey and Mead industry payola. (Thank you, Justine!)  A big thank you to the fans, to the magazines who wrote some very complimentary articles, and of course, to Roy and HG, whose radio program, “This Sporting Life” was a staple during our youth and our inspiration to start up.  2023 is going to be a great year - more stories of your favourite musicians and a look at some musicians you might not be too familiar with. ______________________________________________________ Here’s a list of the best books and magazines Mick has referenced over the last 2 seasons:  What’s Welsh for Zen?
