Music Is None Of Our Business

This episode is a sequel to the previous covers episode. With more covers, obvs. Plus existential angst, stabbings, Dolly Parton sounding like Johnny Cash, and more bad jokes.

Songs with weather related titles this time, along with missing cats, hideously expensive records, ebay flipper scum, the usual existential crises and jokes. Lots of jokes.

Songs with occupations in the title, plus Dr Who trivia, a history of Top Of The Pops dancers, Bob Marley's donuts, more tuneless singing and lots of waffle.

This episode has songs about girls names, we discuss Jakes technical knowledge of music, and my lack of it, accidental metal, droney shit pumps, and lots of other stuff.

We pick a load of songs with boys names in the titles. Jake shames me for getting the episode no. wrong again, by leaving the whole conversation intact. Lots of waffle, some history, brain farts. The usual.

Lots of cool eponymous LPs, plus taglines, more ambient aromas, what's the point of collecting, and street cred, or lack of it.

We pick a load of tracks with colours in the title. Lots of going off in tangents, Stourbridge murals, mispronunciations, record store day rip offs, band t shirts. It's a good one.

This episode we pick songs with body parts in the title, and discuss gig etiquette, or lack of it, Gary Numan impressions, colds, really bad farts, and other tall tales.

Some of our favourite songs with creatures in the titles. Plus some rubbish regional accents, London not being a warzone, bizarre gardening accents plus general japery.

Our favourite songs referencing places are covered this episode, as well as Winston Churchill, puberty, Jake's membership of the Cambodian police force and other ridiculous shenanigans.

In which we discuss our favourite instrumental tracks, as well as can instrumentals have words, death, fiery couture and the threat of quicksand amongst other topics.

It's the food episode! Lots of songs with, at times, dubious links to food. Also memory loss, poor timekeeping skills and shocking amounts of waffle.

From that uninspiring title you can probably guess what this episode is about. We manage to go off topic almost immediately, but then waffle on about our favourite soundtracks. Jake says it's one of his favourite episodes so far, I'll take his word for it.

We present a trawl through some great B sides, starting with an explanation of what a B side is for you youngsters. Lots of unnecessary singing, what's goth and what's not goth, the inaccurate history of dub, some skanking, Britain's Scariest Gigs, and lots more shenanigans.

To compliment our romp through a selection of sad songs last time, in this episode we're happy, happy, happy chatting about the songs that make us feel happy! So have a listen, and feel happy and gay!!

It's our saddest songs. No tears, but plenty of bumbling around, forgetting what we were talking about, disagreements about whether disco songs can be sad. You know, the usual.

We revisit 1985, well someone had to. Shenanigans galore, some goth, some feedback, some panpipes. Huh? Panpipes? Bloody panpipes? Are we mad? Quite possibly.

We discuss being young with a selection of old 70's pop hits we would have heard on the radio and Top Of The Pops when we were aged 5 - 11. Obviously it goes without saying that we stray off topic numerous times and Jake says "Oh dear" a lot.

We go through our Top 10s of 2025, with detours into overpriced records and merch, a rambling explanation of Hauntology, rating Jake's jokes out of 10 and the usual old rubbish.

We discuss some amazing gigs we've been to as well as moaning about the distress of having to change trains at our age, falling over as opposed to having a fall, time travel via extreme volume and all of the usual shenanigans.

We each pick 5 songs that we really, really like. That's a nice simple one. We also cover Jive Bunny, band names with swear words in them and whether it's appropriate to use said swear words, while obviously using them, rubbish remixes and lots more pointless old rubbish.

We pick some of our favourite male voices. We also discuss singing with an accent, gravelly voices, the role of wankiness in Prog rock, along with the usual sophisticated humour and discourse you've come to expect.

We compile some of our favourite cover versions. There are also obscure Kids TV references, saving the world from alien invasion via the medium of bad karaoke, plus the usual going off on tangents, bad jokes, amnesia and general lack of professionalism.

We reminisce about 1997. Dave almost finishes a sentence, Jake is as erudite as ever. There are Marianne Faithfull cards making a racket, forgotten gigs, at least one reasonably funny joke, an astounding amount of Instagram views and all the usual mishaps.

We compile some of our favourite female fronted bands. Jake reveals he can speak Icelandic, Dave get's the title of one of his favourite LPs wrong. Twice! And doesn't even notice. Amateur! There's chortling, chuckling and at least one guffaw.

We investigate the musically fruitful year of 1989. Dave's memory proves as reliable as ever, Jake get's a new DJ moniker.

The ambient episode. Chill out as we discuss our favourite ambient LPs, and along the way touch on Dave's precarious mental health, Jake's escalator technique, crackling, ghostly voices, and even a couple of serious bits. Plus stay tuned till the end for details of Music Is None Of Our Business bingo!

After the 2 hour compilation marathon, an hour long sprint through a few brilliant singles. Allegedly. We still managed to go over an hour, even with only five picks each.

Yikes, a 2 hour + episode. Sorry about that. I had a list of this episodes highlights, but I appear to have mislaid it. However we do discuss the joys of a good compilation LP. A collection of songs you love all in one place, or a chance to broaden your musical horizons or a combination of both. Answers on a postcard to.......

More punky goodness. Dave gets distracted and forgets stuff, Jake ruins everything by picking loads of bands that Dave had picked as well, then Dave gets distracted and forgets stuff again. All in all, the usual amateurish fabulousness you've all come to know and love.

Part one of our punk rock special, covering our favourite bands from 1976 - 82. Dave is predictable, Jake is not quite so predictable. Expect the usual childish humour, lots of "you know" from Dave, and worrying examples of goldfish memory syndrome.

Girls! Girls! Girls! Our favourite contemporary female musicians are revealed. Plus the usual waffling on, umming and aahing, half finished sentences, going off on tangents, and that's just Dave's contribution.

Another massive one. We revel in nostalgia, snogging, skin peeling off, paper rounds, dangerous driving and Dave manages the greatest music joke ever.

We get dewy eyed over the greatest record shop of all time - Keith's Records.

It's a marathon! Dave babbles, Jake uses proper sentences as we discuss our parents music taste (or lack of), livers flying out of orifices, misogynist social media scum and disco.

As always Jake has taken the time to prepare a script whilst Dave chooses the ADHD waffling technique, as we both reveal our top 10 LPs of the year so far.

In which we discuss 4AD records, Icelandic nomenclature, lengthy phone cords, why Dave is funnier than Jake and a few other trivial matters.

The first episode. Please forgive my excessive use of the phrase "If I remember rightly".
