When the Drums Kick In

**Episode Title:** _When the Drums Kick In – and Other Musical Mishaps_ **Hosts:** Andrew Culture & Dr. Sam **Summary:** Get ready for an unhinged exploration of the greatest moments when drums _really_ kick in – whether it's a masterful fill or just chaos in a trench coat. Andrew and Dr. Sam stumble through topics like Phil Collins' shiny dome revolutionizing baldness, the orchestral carnage of WWI-themed metal gigs, and why Greg's vegan sausage rolls might double as building materials. Plus, the duo attempt to decide whether it's ever okay to stick an orange somewhere unconventional (spoiler: it's not). Expect anecdotes about drum risers that double as death traps, the gritty charm of Oransi Pazuzu, and a heartfelt lament about the disappearance of the punk energy from bands like Pears. Oh, and they take a detour to ponder why James May memes involve pineapple. All that, and a sprinkling of hip-hop, techno minimalism, and general nonsense about pastry condoms. **Music Featured:** - _Igana_ by Yabai T-Shirts Yasan - _Kampf und Sturm_ by Canonfiber - _In the Air Tonight_ by Phil Collins (yes, _that_ bit) - _Ilmestys_ by Oransi Pazuzu - _Rather Be Dead_ by Refused - _All Balls_ by AC Alone - _Shame Face_ by François X **In This Episode:** - The joy of drum fills that slap harder than your nan when you nick her tea biscuits. - Why Andrew gets weepy over techno tracks while Dr. Sam takes the piss. - A shocking revelation about James Hetfield's secret love for Finnish noise rock. - And, of course, a discussion on vegan sausage rolls that'll make you regret lunch. **Quote of the Episode:** _"Greg's vegan sausage rolls are like paste in a pastry condom." – Andrew Culture_ ### Riffs of the week #### Dr Sam's Riff - ヤバイTシャツ屋さん - Eegana #### Andrew's Riff - KANONENFIEBER - Kampf und Sturm (1:11) ### Dr Sam's track choices 1.
