Between You And Me - A Podcast About Marillion

We're back! For now. Just in time to take a retrospective look at Marillion.com in the wake of the new Deluxe Edition. We also tackle Marillion's trip to East Berlin, upcoming solo projects, and Steve Rothery's new podcast...Our trip to Berlin (featuring Marillion): https://youtu.be/4DZqPmYDCrk?si=l6zmTAooBQkhUjuyhttps://youtu.be/O2fcZpp4t1I?si=TfDh99sXQlic6T9kPaul's album inspired by the trip: https://mrbiffo.bandcamp.com/album/die-mauerOur Patreon: www.patreon.com/mrbiffoWatch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PaulAndSanjaSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/MrBiffo Hosted on Acast.

All good things come to an end, and - for now - this is the end of one of our favourite things we've ever done. Over 154 episodes we've laughed, cried, annoyed people, made friends and given you our honest thoughts on Marillion - and this episode has all of that. Except, the crying is from laughing too much. This is the final, epic, episode of BYAMPOD. For now.

Hello, BYAMtches. Well, it’s the final part of our look at Marillion's F.E.A.R. plus… a big announcement at the end that we know some of you will be saddened by. Alas, this is the final regular episode of BYAMPOD. We've had a good run, but we feel now is the time. We explain more in the episode.If you'd like to send us an email or voice-note for our very last episode, our email is [email protected] us at the Brave bridge: https://youtu.be/s_tHAS1YzbE?si=c20Z35YP55Xn_f3hWatch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PaulAndSanjaSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/MrBiffo Hosted on Acast.

This has been the hardest ep of BYAMPOD ever to put together. It's another experiment with Suno, throwing new light on some Marillion old songs using some of the website's new features - but we take a different approach to last time. We tried to bring new life to some pre-EMI demos, and reimagined the back catalogue in wildly different ways to shed new light on the music. It's further terrifying evidence of what AI can do... but also, reassuringly, a demonstration of what it can'tyet do and probably never will. We'd never take an AI Marillion - or any musician - over the real thing. The fact this ep has taken days to make shows just how limited it is. It's also an epic of an episode, so you might want to break it up. ..Watch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PaulAndSanjaSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/MrBiffo Hosted on Acast.

Paul's recovering from a migraine this week, but that doesn't stop us from delving into tracks 2 and 3 from Marillion's F.E.A.R. album - Living In FEAR and The Leavers!Watch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PaulAndSanjaSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/MrBiffo Hosted on Acast.

Irreverent tangents, misunderstandings and wild speculation about the meaning of lyrics? Check, check, and check!

We should all be worried about the next few years, and how the way we consume media and entertainment is going to completely transform. With AI able to produce new music in seconds - is the future of real music in jeopardy?

We're taking a breather from F.E.A.R. for a week, given all the heavy subject matter in recent episodes. It wasn't the plan, but this BYAMPOD became about the potential impact of AI on music.

If you skip the first 20 or so minutes, this episode settles down into a fun chat about some of the origins surrounding Marillion's F.E.A.R. album. However, it's hard to discuss the topics this album covers without touching on politics to some degree. And so, for better or worse, we do...

This episode we dig into the potential impact of AI on the music industry before tackling the thorny issue of whether Marillion has ever been a political band - and if they'd be able to release the track Gaza in the current climate...

This week we're returning to the world of Neo-Prog, and finally get to the bottom of why - for us at least - Marillion shouldn't be lumped in alongside all the Neo-prog bands (IQ, Pendragon, et al) they started alongside.Find us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PaulAndSanjaSupport us here for early access and exclusive eps: https://www.patreon.com/mrbiffoWatch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PaulAndSanjaSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/MrBiffo Hosted on Acast.

What started out intending to be an episode about Fish's one-off reunion with Marillion in 2007 turned into something a bit darker and more intense.

A particularly Marillion-y episode this week, as we address the potential setlist of the upcoming Marillion Weekends, the new Marillion YouTube show, which songs we'd choose to try and 'Marillion-ize' somebody, 'musical' concept albums versus suites of songs, and - most importantly - whether The Hard Shoulder harmed the overall reputation of Happiness Is The Road... Also: Sanja has a Richard stomach.Support us here for early access and exclusive eps: https://www.patreon.com/mrbiffoCome to our live show! https://www.digitiser2000.com/main-page/digitiser-live-weekend-2023-faqPaul's new album: https://mrbiffo.bandcamp.comFollow BYAMPOD on Twitter and Facebook!Email us here: [email protected] us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PaulAndSanjaSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/MrBiffo Hosted on Acast.

Can AI replace humans when it comes to Marillion lyrics? Specifically, can it replace Fish, Steve Hogarth and - yes - even John Helmer?! This week, we conduct a strictly scientific experiment to find out. Plus! Marillion news! Mr Men!

The latest BYAMPOD is a bit of a mixed bag. It starts with a discussion about Peter Gabriel's first brand new music in over 20 years, and Steve Rothery's forthcoming solo tour, before delving into the past to look at a website update from 1997, plus reviews from the 80s of Marillion's VHS video collection, and Mick Wall's Market Square Heroes book...Support us here for early access and exclusive eps: https://www.patreon.com/mrbiffoPaul's new album: https://mrbiffo.bandcamp.comFollow BYAMPOD on Twitter and Facebook!Email us here: [email protected] us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PaulAndSanjaSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/MrBiffo Hosted on Acast.

Happy New Year, BYAMPODders. We're back!

This week, we're blowing off steam after a run of heavy episodes... by drinking (though there's some debate over who has drunk the most). We also discuss Marillion's Half Empty/Full Jam, and whether it has a place on Happiness Is The Road Volume 1. We also read some of your letters. Oddly, it's a more focused episode than most of the ones we record sober, but we still manage to be a bit NSFW...Support us here for early access and exclusive eps: https://www.patreon.com/mrbiffoPaul's new album: https://mrbiffo.bandcamp.comFollow BYAMPOD on Twitter and Facebook!Email us here: [email protected] us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PaulAndSanjaSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/MrBiffo Hosted on Acast.

We come to the end of The Road (Volume 1) in this ep, but before we get onto Marillion.. we spend the first 20 minutes discussing some listener feedback, whether it's okay to joke about certain topics, and humour as a coping mechanism. When we finally do get around to the album... that's when things really go off the rails. Support us here for early access and exclusive eps: https://www.patreon.com/mrbiffoPaul's new album: https://mrbiffo.bandcamp.comFollow BYAMPOD on Twitter and Facebook!Email us here: [email protected] us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PaulAndSanjaSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/MrBiffo Hosted on Acast.
