I Might Be Wrong (Music)
by Rich Newnham
A rather rambly podcast where Rich Newnham and Henry Salmon chat about albums that have influenced our music tastes over the years. Sometimes we're joined by friends.

Episodes
-
Ep 113 - Elbow "Leaders Of The Free World"
Back once again, and with a big band that most of you lot will already know, it's Elbow. Rich picks Leaders Of The Free World for sentimental reasons, but we do agree they might have one or two better albums - it's still a superb record! To listen to the music we discuss, go check out the…

Ep 112 - Supergrass "I Should Coco"
This month we're digging out a band who were big during the Britpop era but who your hosts agree probably don't quite fall into that style and sound - it's Supergrass! Henry picks their debut album "I Should Coco" because of prawns and world travel. It'll make sense once he explains it, we...
-
Ep 111 - The Beatles "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"
Finally we are back! Sorry for the radio silence in 2024, but life got busy for your hosts... Anyway, we go big with The Beatles, so hopefully it was worth the wait. Henry mentions a documentary/interview thing with Jimmy Page, The Edge and Jack White, which you can find here:...
-
Ep 110 - Pixies "Surfer Rosa"
We promised we'd go big and so we have! Henry can't make it this week so Rich gets to really get into it with one of his long time London gig and festival buddies, Neil Vincent, on a band they both absolutely love - Pixies! In case you don't know their stuff (you do, even if you don't know you…
more -
Hidden Track 33 - Bully and Cloth
We are giving you more recommendations because who doesn't love trying a new album? It might be the next one you absolutely love, and we think both of these could be that for you - Henry recommends indie rock in the form of Bully and Rich goes for something that's more shoegaze-ish with Cloth....
-
Ep 109 - The xx "xx"
This week we dive into the atmospheric and rather unique sound of The xx. This is a band who understand space and the use of silence to create, rather than going full bore with a wall of sound. To listen to the music we discuss, go check out the playlist on Spotify:...
-
Hidden Track 32 - BC Camplight and Caroline Polachek
It's a Hidden Track! We're going to try and bring you more of these sprinkled in among the main episodes in order to keep things in a nice rhythm for Henry and Rich. This week we bring you recommendations for BC Camplight and Caroline Polachek, and also a few quick ones for new releases for…
more -
Ep 108 - Led Zeppelin "Led Zeppelin IV"
We are back, and with a bang. Henry goes big and picks Led Zeppelin, who you might have heard of already... We discuss their influence, their story and their reputation as musical magpies. To listen to the music we discuss, go check out the playlist on Spotify:...
-
Ep 107 - Everclear "So Much For The Afterglow"
Henry picks a band who were pretty huge in the States in the 90s, but barely troubled the charts in the UK - Everclear. He explains why he loves "So Much For The Afterglow" and takes us through the extraordinary story of their front man. To listen to the music we discuss, go check out the…
more -
Ep 106 - Massive Attack "Mezzanine"
We both love Massive Attack. We both love Mezzanine. We both agree it's the right album to pick for this episode. Disagree? You can find us on social media! The DJ Shadow video Henry mentions is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUC2EQvdzmY To listen to the music we discuss, go check out the...
-
Ep 105 - The Stokes "Is This It?"
Henry brings The Strokes' achingly cool garage rock debut to the party. What more do you need to know?! To listen to the music we discuss, go check out the playlist in Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/361mPC0Sk9ea5EwofM6bvO Drop us a line at: @imightbewronguk on Twitter and Facebook....
-
Ep 104 - Ocean Colour Scene "Moseley Shoals"
Back to the Britpop era for a band who Rich doesn't really think quite fits the usual Britpop mould - it's Ocean Colour Scene and their breakthrough album, "Moseley Shoals". Be warned, we discuss late 90s indie-kid clothing. To listen to the music we discuss, go check out the playlist in Spotify:...
-
HT 31 - Curse Of Lono and Elbow
We recorded this one back in Feb and Rich only just dug it out to edit it, so apologies that you might have missed out on months of listening to these wonderful records! We have new music with Curse Of Lono - a British band seeped in Americana, West Coast rock and country, and Elbow, who you...
-
Ep 103 - First Aid Kit "The Lion's Roar"
This week Henry picks First Aid Kit, who we both have a soft spot for. We get into discussions about their musical family, harmonies and impressing rock royalty. Here are the videos that Henry mentions: Fleet Foxes cover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMrqBldlqzA Emmylou performed to Emmylou...
-
Ep 102 - Sufjan Stevens "Seven Swans"
Time to revisit a favourite of both Henry and Rich, Sufjan Stevens, and one of his earliest albums "Seven Swans". We chat about how to compliment a dress, the perils of being a Christian singer-songwriter but not wanting to shove it in people's faces, and banjos. To listen to the music we…
more -
Ep 101 - M83 "Hurry Up, We're Dreaming"
Henry picks M83 this week, so we're talking galaxies that are visible from the southern hemisphere, Frenchmen in L.A. and of course the Kerbal Space Program. You can see the video Henry mentions here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkDOOsGg-9I To listen to the music we discuss, go check out the...
-
Ep 100 - Guns N' Roses "Appetite For Destruction"
It's episode 100 and we're still going - thanks for sticking with us! We had to pick something big and we landed on Guns N' Roses "Appetite For Destruction". Let's face it, you already know them, so just settle in and have a listen. To listen to the music we discuss, go check out the playlist in...
-
Ep 99 - Soulwax "Much Against Everyone's Advice"
Rich and Henry return to their teenage years and dredge up the brilliant Soulwax (who you may also know as 2ManyDJs). We get into mashups, mosh pits and genre-bending Belgians. To listen to the music we discuss, go check out the playlist in Spotify:...
-
Ep 98 - Lorde "Pure Heroine"
We're back! Thanks for sticking with us while Henry recovered from Covid and Rich got a job (he still has a job, it's been a whole month!). It's Henry's choice and he's leaning into some pop vibes with Lorde's "Pure Heroine". Apologies for the slightly dodgy audio, something was up with Henry's…
more -
Hidden Track 30 - Fortitude Valley and Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds
We aren't quite ready to start releasing full episodes again because Rich is getting to grips with a new job and Henry is still recovering from a bout of Covid, but we've got some new music that we chatted about recently (we promise we'll be back with some proper episodes soon!). Fortitude Valley...
-
Ep 97 - My Vitriol "Finelines"
A band both your hosts agree on this week - Rich and Henry discuss My Vitriol's debut "Finelines", their rapid rise and their struggles with following up that album. You might not have heard of this, but you should have because it's a brilliant record. To listen to the music we discuss, go check...
-
Hidden Track 29 - Taraka and St Etienne
New music! Henry brings something brand new with psych/punk/pop from Taraka's "Welcome To Paradise Lost" and Rich brings a new album of ambient loveliness from electronica legends St Etienne - "I've Been Trying To Tell You". Taraka: https://taraka1111.bandcamp.com St Etienne:...
-
Ep 96 - Neutral Milk Hotel "In The Aeroplane Over The Sea"
This week Henry picks a cult album that either needs no introduction, or will have you saying "WHO?!". Neutral Milk Hotel are a band who had a huge influence on some massive bands who followed them, but "In The Aeroplane Over The Sea" still sparks controversy, with many lauding it as one of the...
-
Hidden Track 28 - Kiwi jr and Nation Of Language
This week both your hosts go for something new that sounds like something old. Henry picks jangly guitar indie that sounds like Parquet Courts, Ramones and maybe a bit of Pavement - it's Kiwi jr's "Cooler Returns". Rich has since also got somewhat addicted to their sound! For this Hidden Track he...
-
Ep 95 - Mylo "Destroy Rock & Roll"
Rich dives back into his electronica this week and picks Mylo's debut "Destroy Rock & Roll". We discuss remote Scottish islands, 70s and 80s soft rock and ambiguous legal battles that may or may not include the classic Contractual Obligation Album. Doctor Pressure, because it's not on Spotify:...
-
Hidden Track 27 - Folly Group and Kate Nash
This week Rich raves about punk/electronica/indie-dance (we don't know, but if you like Bloc Party you'll like them) up and comers Folly Group and their debut EP "Awake And Hungry". Henry reaches back into an artist he's mentioned in the past who has a new release - it's singer/actress/talented...
-
Ep 94 - Mclusky "Mclusky Do Dallas"
This week we get dragged into an old friend's university dorm room and played some loud shouty punk. Turns out both your hosts are fans of this week's choice from Henry - Mclusky's second album, "Mclusky Do Dallas". The RatherGood.com punk kitten video with Lightsaber Cocksucking Blues is here:...
-
Hidden Track 26 - Alt-J and Fenne Lily
We thought we'd sneak out a Hidden Track for you lot since it's that weird Twilight Zone bit of the year and you've got nothing else to fill the void. Henry brings an old favourite in Alt-J and Rich has an artist he discovered thanks to End of the Road festival - Fenne Lily. Alt-J:...
-
Ep 93 - The Hives "Your New Favourite Band"
This week Rich picks a podcast favourite - The Hives' "Your New Favourite Band". And to celebrate the tongue in cheek punk rock Swedes, we've got an episode that's longer than all but one of their albums! The videos we chatted about are here: Hate To Say I Told You So -...
-
Ep 92 - The Jezabels "Dark Storm EP"
Henry selects a brilliant Australian band this week, and rather than an album he has picked their "Dark Storm" EP. A band both your hosts love, but one that didn't quite hit the mainstream in the UK in the way we thought they might - they discuss what happened and whether there might be a…
more -
Ep 91 - Field Music "Making A New World"
This week we talk about comfortably the most contemporary album that we've covered so far, with last year's release by Field Music: "Making A New World". Rich tries to convince Henry that he needs to actually sit down and properly listen to it rather than having it on in the background, Henry...
-
Ep 90 - Animal Collective "Merriweather Post Pavilion"
This week it's Henry's choice, so he's selected an album that was highly critically acclaimed but didn't get as much mainstream love - it's Animal Collective's "Merriweather Post Pavilion". Your hosts also survive being beseiged by a massive hornet. Honestly, it was huge. To listen to the music…
more -
Ep 89 - Counting Crows "This Desert Life"
This week we get into an old favourite of Rich's - Counting Crows "This Desert Life", which leads us to touch on Con-Air, American flamenco guitarists and something about Matchbox 20 that had to be cut out. Enjoy! To listen to the music we discuss, go check out the playlist in Spotify:...
-
Hidden Track 25 - Field Music and She Drew The Gun
It's New Music Friday, which means we have a Hidden Track for you lovely lot. This week Rich picks up a new album from a current favourite - Field Music's "Flat White Moon", and Henry selects political psych-pop with the excellent She Drew The Gun's "Behave Myself". Find them here: Field Music:...
-
Ep 88 - Nirvana "Nevermind"
Well hello there! As promised we are back after a bit of a summer break, and we've got a huge, massive album to get back on it with - one of the defining albums of an era, Nirvana's "Nevermind". There's so much to talk about with Nirvana, so of course we cover sharing headphones in a playground,...
-
Hidden Track 24 - A. G. Cook and John Grant
We found a hidden track that was recorded before our hiatus and never released, so to warm you all up prior to our imminent return we thought we'd release it now! Henry brings a brand new subgenre (at least to us) with A. G. Cook's hyperpop and Rich returns to an old friend with John Grant's...
-
Ep 87 - The Cranberries "To The Faithful Departed"
We have a guest again! Pat Jackson returns and brings his knowledge of a band that Henry and Rich both love but don't know as much about as they should - The Cranberries. We focus on "To The Faithful Departed", but meander into other albums, O'Riordan's tragic demise and (somehow) Mad Max. To...
-
Ep 86 - Mercury Rev "Deserter's Songs"
This week we have an album that's technically Rich's choice but really it could have been either of your hosts that picked this one. One of the most underrated albums of the 90s, it's Mercury Rev's "Deserter's Songs". Find out exactly how they made Rich rather furious. To listen to the music we...
-
Ep 85 - The Weakerthans "Reunion Tour"
We keep it short and sweet this week with one of Henry's favourites, for which he returns to his bucket of wonderful Canadian bands. Yes, it's The Weakerthans and "Reunion Tour". Rich sold a couple of giant beanbags in the middle of recording this episode but we cut that out as it didn't make for...
-
Ep 84 - Mew "Frengers"
This week Rich picks a band that he introduced Henry to, and then Henry re-introduced him to - Danish rockers "Mew". We focus on their debut record "Frengers", which leads to some chat about the risks involved in taking someone to see a gig if they don't know the band you're about to see... To...
-
Ep 83 - The Flaming Lips "Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots"
This week Henry selects "Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots" by indie pysch-rock giants The Flaming Lips, which leads us to discuss celebrities hidden on-stages, Keith Flint being furious in a giant plastic bubble and Rich's dislike of Wayne Coyne's attempt to rhyme "karate" and "body". To listen to...
-
Ep 82 - Bob Dylan "Blood On The Tracks"
Does Bob Dylan need any introduction? Probably not! We get into some controversial recording sessions, Rich explains why he's picked "Blood On The Tracks" rather than something from Dylan's first peak in the 60s, and Henry sadly walks away while Bob plays live at Glastonbury 1998. To listen to…
more -
Ep 81 - Enya "Dark Sky Island"
Yes, it's Enya and yes, it's her 2015 album "Dark Sky Island". Henry explains more as we discuss why Enya is such a unique artist and why she deserves more than to be dismissed as just some "new age music for massages". To listen to the music we discuss, go check out the playlist in Spotify:...
-
Ep 80 - Maximo Park "A Certain Trigger"
This week it's Rich's pick and he's gone for a band who weren't necessarily the most fashionable of the 00s British indie scene. But Maximo Park have a certain style, an ability to create an energy that has meant he's continued to go back to "A Certain Trigger" time and time again. To listen to…
more -
Hidden Track 23 - Lord Huron and St Vincent
New music! It's Friday and we've a couple of gorgeous albums that have been released in the last few weeks. Henry picks Lord Huron's "Long Lost" - American folk/alt rock - and Rich selects St Vincent's "Daddy's Home" - mixing 70s classic and psych-rock in with her usual style. Go have a listen to...
-
Ep 79 - Postal Service "Give Up"
Henry's pick this week, and he's decided to go with some electronica! Your hosts discuss the one and only album from Postal Service (a side project from some US alt-indie royalty): "Give Up". To listen to the music we discuss, go check out the playlist in Spotify:...
-
Hidden Track 22 - Du Blonde and Wolf Alice
Friday is upon us and we're in the mood to share some new music. Rich thinks more people (yes, that includes you!) should be listening to Du Blonde - the new album is full of brilliant modern garage rock; and Henry is rather obsessed with the new Wolf Alice album, which is leading the charge for...
-
Ep 78 - Alt-J "An Awesome Wave"
This week Rich picks a band who, despite being rather quirky and sonically a far distance from the mainstream, ascended rapidly to global fame, picking up a Mercury Music Prize and an Ivor Novello award on the way. It is of course Alt-J with their debut "An Awesome Wave". So of course we end up...
-
Ep 77 - Eminem "The Marshall Mathers LP"
This week we welcome back friend of the podcast Tempest Rose of the House of Burlesque (and Ginsult) to chat about the hugely popular and hugely controversial scourge of conservative America, the utterly furious Eminem. We dive into "The Marshall Mathers LP" and discuss the reception the album…
more -
Ep 76 - Fountains Of Wayne "Welcome Interstate Managers"
Henry's choice this week - a band that played a large part in inspiring Henry's passion for finding new bands and exploring outside the mainstream. What more could you want?! (And yes, we do chat a bit about "Stacy's Mom"). To listen to the music we discuss, go check out the playlist in Spotify:...
