Ultimate Catalogue Clash

On July 13th, 1991, six years to the day since Live Aid, INXS took to the stage at Wembley Stadium and tore through a set list that included most of Kick and X and a whole heaping helping of rock star panache. Michael, Andrew, Tim, Jon, Kirk, and Garry pulled absolutely no punches as they went through all their impressive gears. We defy you to watch the crowd during New Sensation and not be completely up for all of it. To cover this record, we figured we need expert help, so we reached out to the fantastic Michael J Smith over in Melbourne, to talk us through INXS's impact down under and whether they're beloved or seen as sell-outs. We pick our three highlights from the and then it's quiz time! If you want to check Michael's fantastic Simpsons podcast, Eat the Pudding, that he co-hosts with the equally wonderful but distinctly more Irish Ian Winick, you can find links to that and their previous podcast, Lord of Adders Black below.

Scott Haskin returns to the pod to help us wrap up INXS! Corey is being a menace, changing Kev's screen name in StreamYard and it all kicks off again during the trivia section, provided to us by the wonderful Ruddy Rutherford! But will Scott finally have heard an album he might want to pick up on vinyl? Will Corey baulk at Kev's album list for Season 10? And is there any chance that someone could send a copy of Deep Purple's Fireball to Kev?

Another set of albums in the can! Who would ever have thought, when we started with Trick of the Tail three years ago that we'd be at Welcome to Wherever You Are? I guess it's not that much of a stretch, now that I think of it! But, will Side B live up to Side A? Will the fourth album in this quadrilogy contend for a top ten spot in our overall rankings? Will there be any coherant discord from either of us and what happens when you bleach your anus with far too strong a solution?

Welcome to wherever you are, wherever you've been, and wherever you're going. This podcast is so big now, we expect it to be secured in the library of congress very, very soon, so that future generations will always have access to our wit and wisdom. That is, if Corey doesn't make good on his threat to rage quit and start Ogopogopod... What the fuck is Ogopogo? Will Corey know his serial killers? And will Kev get through an entire season with completely fucking up the intro?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and taste it.

Corey calls out Kev about something he said on a different podcast! There's altogether too much talk about custard (unless Corey cuts that entire forty five minute conversation out) and we have a good chat about the ethics of selling tickets to a show you can't really sing at properly. But will Kev come down on the side of Jon Bon Jovi? Will Corey be kind to Kev during this week's game? And will Side B of X live up to the rather excellent Side A?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and push away those bitter tears.Songs covered in this episode: "Lately", "Who Pays the Price", "Know the Difference", "Bitter Tears", "On My Way", "Hear That Sound"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theultimatecatalogueclashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclashSHOP OUR MERCH STORE!!!

All because of circumstances way beyond controlWe became the darlings of this thing called Rock and Roll, ooh!About three people will know where that line comes from... the rest of you can Google it! We're taking a break from our usual program to bring you something different. Due to busy weekends and a general lack of time to properly prep, Corey and I thought we'd have a rummage through our vinyl collections and talk about what's in there. We'll be spinning up some tracks and we'll be talking about music and, as always, it will take us far too long to get into the actual episode. But that's why you tune in, right? But what albums will be spun? What catalogues does Corey have in their entirety and why do they have to be Def Leppard?

The follow up to the gigantic Kick. INXS set themselves an almost impossible job to follow up such a behemoth, but they sat down, jammed out a few chords, wrote down a few words, then wandered into a brand new studio to sing and play them into microphones and mixing desk to see what happened. But will they be able to match their smash hit? Will Kev be on board with a ballad closing out Side A? And why in the green shit is Corey covered in vodka with swiffered feet?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and disappear.Songs covered in this episode: "Suicide Blonde", "Disappear", "The Stairs", "Faith in Each Other", "By My Side"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theultimatecatalogueclashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclashSHOP OUR MERCH STORE!!!

You can still beatbox in Paraguay. You can still cut a rug in Côte d'Ivoire, you can still shake your money maker in Vanuatu, and apparently, you can still rock in America. Even though I'm pretty sure that no-one was stopping anyone doing that! We're joined by our good pal Tom Armbruster as we break down his kofi pick; Night Ranger's 1983 sophomore effort, Midnight Madness. But will Tom regret giving Kev another 80s rock band?

Pudding, chips, and peas is a staple meal of any young lad growing up in Wigan in the 70s and 80s. Vegemite as an abomination until Nuggan and should be outlawed. These are not completely random musings but do have something to do with this week's episode.

Corey's tired from grad, Kev's tired from work, and the episode drops in thirty minutes. Will Michael and the boys be able to pep up two middle aged fucks up enough to actually get this thing out?

Today we spin up Side B of Plastic Lett.... wait, that's not right... [checks notes...] Side B of Listen Like Thieves. It's Corey's second recording of the night with Kev, so will the friendship last? Will sausages finally be put back on the Weyburn International House of Waffle (that's singular not plural and it refers to the practice of jabbering on endlessly), will George Lucas stop fucking around with edits to Episode IV, and will Corey enjoy an INXS instrumental?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and never let it go.Songs covered in this episode: "Biting Bullets", "This Time", "Three Sisters", "Same Direction", "One x One", "Red Red Sun"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theultimatecatalogueclashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclashSHOP OUR MERCH STORE!!!

AND WE'RE OFF! We fought through tech issues, a plague of locusts, two deaths, and a partial drowning to bring you this week's episode so you'd damn well better appreciate it! (Only one of those things is true...)Corey makes Kev listen to more warbling from the wablecunt in chief, Joe Elliott and Kev's game for the season is right up Corey's alley.

We're heading down under folks, where the beer is cold, the sun is hotter and the front men are even hotter! There's another freewheeling conversation between Corey and Kev; Corey is a good way through the INXS biography and Kev accidentally downloaded a TV biopic that he thought was a documentary - so he's even less informed than usual! Corey hits Kev with a mini-game and we spin the Kofi wheel to find out what the next user submission will be. But will any of the albums this season be a contender for a top ten spot? Will there be any Def Leppard news?

We're heading back to the Prince of Darkness courtesy of our pal Ruddy Rutherford. This one's an eclectic mix of Clapton, Lennon, and Arthur Brown? What?! You've never heard of Arthur Brown??? For shame! We end up listening to Green Day and there's altogether too much Def Leppard for Kev's liking.

One last episode talking about Blondie. We also talk about Monty Python more than you expect. We find out about Scott Haskin's role in on the Airwolf TV show and Corey and Kev go head to head in the trivia round in a slightly different format. It all takes rather too long and Corey is very tired by the end of it, but, we do discover which artist we'll be covering in Season 9! But who will it be? Will it be Peter Gabriel era Genesis?

Well, not really, but that's the bullshit I came up with for the intro and it's what you're getting for episode notes. We have the first skipper for Kev, a great conversation about a Canadian icon, and Corey goes off piste with his choices in this week's game. But, will it matter, given Corey has already won?

Well, well, well! We're crossing the podcast streams here and talking about an album that Corey has covered extensively on one of his other podcasts, And The Podcast Will Rock! Kev started listening to Van Halen when Sammy took over and has a pseudo-legal history with Dave! We're also joined, for the first time, by our KoFi supporter, Michael Pastore, who gave us this album to talk about. But will Corey put aside his flagrant bias for Pasadena's party boys?

To that we say "fuck off and mind your own business!" We talk about movies, Dan Akroyd makes an appearance, and Kev tries to reign Corey back in during this season's game.

What the hell are these guys (and gal) tryna' pull here? There are a lot of ideas being thrown at us here! We're venturing to the Bermuda triangle, we're speaking in French, and we're worried about snipers. But will Kev and Corey get to the bottom of what the heck "I'm on E" means?

Six songs to kick off Side A from Blondie's debut. We discover that X Offender isn't about Trump and Epstein, but rather is a cautionary tale about falling in love (or lust) with your local copper! There's drum fills aplenty, a few mix issues, and we talk a fair bit about Debbie Harry's voice. But, will new wave surf rock tickle Corey's pickle?

Iggy Pop recalls inviting Blondie to tour with him at a time when David Bowie was playing keyboards in his backing band. "Debbie was an American ponytail girl as seen through the lens of Roger Vadim; Barbarella on speed, or something like that."With Barbella on speed and Chris Stein right behind her, Blondie had all the ingredients to take on the world. But would internal friction pull the band apart? Would anyone take a blonde bombshell seriously as a frontwoman in a rock n roll band, and would Mike Chapman be able to polish these rough diamonds enough to see them dazzle the world?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and call me.Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theultimatecatalogueclashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclashSHOP OUR MERCH STORE!!!

By the mid-1980s, apartheid-era South Africa was subject to a global cultural boycott, strongly advocated by the African National Congress (ANC) and supported by the United Nations. Musicians were explicitly asked not to perform, record, or collaborate in South Africa, regardless of intent. In 1984–85, Paul Simon traveled to South Africa to record with Black South African musicians, including members of Ladysmith Black Mambazo. He did not seek ANC approval beforehand and broke the cultural boycott in the process. But was it worth it? Did Simon accomplish anything creatively or culturally worth his bold contravention of the global attitude toward the South African regime?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and call me Al.Songs covered in this episode: "The Boy in the Bubble", "Graceland", "I Know What I Know", "Gumboots", "Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes", "You Can Call Me Al", "Under African Skies", "Homeless", "Crazy Love, Vol. II", "That Was Your Mother", "All Around the World or the Myth of Fingerprints"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theultimatecatalogueclashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclashSHOP OUR MERCH STORE!!!

Will we get into any trouble for our edits, and will Corey finally open this damned treacle mine!The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and tell me where you have been.Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theultimatecatalogueclashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclashSHOP OUR MERCH STORE!!!

Our friend Scott Haskin is back to help us unpack season seven. We've covered a bunch of artists on this show that haven't resonated with Scott, so we're curious how this one will go! We have questions provided by the wonderful Dave Lasseter and we'll also find out who we'll be listening to in Season 8!

Well, look at that. We've come (almost) to the end of another season. Today's episode wraps up the fifth album of our adventure with The Black Crowes. Kev was a big fan coming in, Corey was pretty sure he was a big fan coming in. We've had some high highs and a couple of low lows, but more than anything, we've had pretty good consistency! But, do those ingredients add up to a sauce that you can truly call awesome? Will By Your Side be the third Crowes album to crack our overall top ten? And will Kev salvage any sort of pride in this Season's game, despite already being mathematically unable to stop the Morrissette juggernaut?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and watch it grow.Songs covered in this episode: "Heavy", "Welcome to the Goodtimes", "Go Tell the Congregation" ,"Diamond Ring", "Then She Said My Name", "Virtue and Vice"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theultimatecatalogueclashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclashSHOP OUR MERCH STORE!!!

The Bears are into a wild card matchup with division rivals, the Packers. The Giants have confounded Corey's hopes yet again by being not quite bad enough to secure the first pick in the next NFL draft, and Canada go down 6-4 to Czechia in the World Junior Hockey Championships. And that's all before we've even mentioned the Black Crowes! We're starting the last album in this season of the UCC with this week's episode and it's hard to believe that we're almost done already. But will "HorseHead" make any sense to Corey or Kev? And will Corey make it through his current illness (sans hotel)?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and go faster!Songs covered in this episode: "Go Faster", "Kickin' My Heart Around ", "By Your Side", "HorseHead", "Only a Fool"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theultimatecatalogueclashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclashSHOP OUR MERCH STORE!!!

We had to put together a Christmas episode for ya! What did you think, we'd forget??? Hold onto your baubels and get ready to toss the tinself because we're cranking up the volume on some Christmas classics! We picked three songs each and in both cases, we picked two songs that the other person had never heard!

Side A scored really highly, but can Three Snakes and One Charm do enough on Side B to crack the top ten? We're taking a whole bunch of different sonic paths again as the Black Crowes put us through our paces. But will Corey dig the hippy vibes on How Much for Your Wings? Will Kev have anything to say about a distinctly familiar lick in Better When You're Not Alone?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and bring on this flowering!Songs covered in this episode: "(Only) Halfway to Everywhere", "Bring On, Bring On", "How Much for Your Wings?", "Let Me Share the Ride", "Better When You're Not Alone", "Evil Eye"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theultimatecatalogueclashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclashSHOP OUR MERCH STORE!!!

Delta Blues legend Blind Charlie Jones once famously said “A pawnshop is a place of wonder, a magical place full of possibility and dreams. Until you walk in there for the first time carrying your guitar.”"Just what in tarnation does that have to do with Three Snakes and One Charm boy?!" I hear you ask as you suck on your cornstalk balls deep in your first cousin... Well, the closer on this side of the Black Crowes fourth album has the word pawnshop in the title and is part of the narrative of the subject of that story! But, will the six minute closer drag on and on for Kev and will Corey be able to handle the straight up weirdness of Nebakanezer?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and pay some attention to me!Songs covered in this episode: "Under a Mountain", "Good Friday", "Nebakanezer", "One Mirror Too Many", "Blackberry", "Girl from a Pawnshop"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theultimatecatalogueclashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclashSHOP OUR MERCH STORE!!!

Today we wrap up the Black Crowes third album, amorica. It's a mixed bag for Corey, we talk about one of the more unusual songs in this catalogue, we ruminate on just how high Chris Robinson potentially was during the writing of some of the lyrics on the record and we reveal which album will be covered on the next Kofi episode! But the questions you have to ask yourself are these; will Corey feel a sense of urgency in track 2, will Kev go higher or lower on this side of the album and will whoever is making that rank cheesy foot smell in the lab next door please stop it!The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and have mercy baby!Songs covered in this episode: "P. 25 London", "Ballad in Urgency", "Wiser Time", "Downtown Money Waster", "Descending"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theultimatecatalogueclashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclashSHOP OUR MERCH STORE!!!

"What kinda talk you got around here?""We got both kinds... jibber AND jabber!"That's right, two middle-aged men are gonna talk about music for you because that's as close to a midlife crisis as either of us can be bothered to get! Corey's beloved Roughriders won the Grey Cup (which is Canada's version of the World Series, or the Emmys, or some shit...) so he was in bouyant mood! But will he dig a song about a sunflower? Will Kev figure out what that smell coming from the downstairs bathroom is? And will Side A of Amorica score well between the two of us?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and dress up like the jury.Songs covered in this episode: "Gone", "A Conspiracy", "High Head Blues", "Cursed Diamond", "Nonfiction", "She Gave Good Sunflower"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theultimatecatalogueclashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclashSHOP OUR MERCH STORE!!!

Kev's in Calgary airport upsetting the Cowboys on his way back from Florida so Corey came up with a fiendishly brilliant special format that we could record in situ so we don't have to miss a week. We're not telling you which songs we're covering though, so you'll have to wait to find out! Suffice to say, we're revisiting seasons one and two... So will Corey make Kev listen to St. Anger and will the podcast finally cover Supper's Ready???The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and bury me when I'm gone!Songs covered in this episode; "Return of the Giant Hogweed" by Genesis, "I Disappear" by Metallica.Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theultimatecatalogueclashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclashSHOP OUR MERCH STORE!!!

We're off to Victorian England to talk about one the top ten biggest selling prog rock albums of all time. We have Martians, artillery, heat rays, and.... disco? Kev grew up with this album and has most of it indelibly imprinted on his brain. Will he be able to set aside his nostalgic love for the album? Will Corey be on board with an album that doesn't feature a whole lot of singing and instead lots of dialogue spoken by a charismatic Welshman? And will the Martians win???The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and ....... ULLLLAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!Songs covered in this episode: "The Eve of the War", "Horsell Common and the Heat Ray", "The Artilleryman and the Fighting Machine", "Forever Autumn", "Thunder Child", "The Red Weed (Part 1)", "The Spirit of Man", "The Red Weed (Part 2)", "The Artilleryman Returns", "Brave New World", "Dead London", "Epilogue (Part 1)", "Epilogue (Part 2) (NASA)"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theultimatecatalogueclashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclashSHOP OUR MERCH STORE!!!

Corey's running for Sheriff in Weyburn, the Crowes are channling Zep, Aeorsmith, and maybe a soupçon of Cinderella? We cogitate on why in the name of green shit the Crowes front loaded the album with slower songs and left so much fire on Side B! But, will Kev dig the Bob Marley cover that closes the album, and will Corey be on board with the longer songs? Most importantly, will either of these knuckleheads figure out how to do this season's game properly?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and make my haze blow away!Songs covered in this episode: "Hotel Illness", "Black Moon Creeping", "No Speak No Slave", "My Morning Song", "Time Will Tell"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theultimatecatalogueclashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclashSHOP OUR MERCH STORE!!!

Popular opinion amongst Crowes fans is that this is their finest work. Recorded in 8 off the back of a monster tour in support of Shake Your Money Maker, this is the album that most fans consider to be the defining sound of the band. So will Corey focus in on this creative shift or will he instead take us down the path of pyschopathic avicidal femme fatales? Will Kev be on board with Remedy now that he's had a chance to sit with the song a little longer, and are there any cheeses that you've been particulalry enjoying lately?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and spill your secrets on me!Songs covered in this episode: "Sting Me", "Remedy", "Thorn in My Pride", "Bad Luck Blue Eyes Goodbye", "Sometimes Salvation"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theultimatecatalogueclashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclashSHOP OUR MERCH STORE!!!

Welcome to the OUCHpod!!! Or is the UCC? Well, we have the potential for a new number one album in the overall UCC rankings based on last week's scores. But can Side B hold up to Side A? We ruminate on Rod Stewart vs Mick Jagger, Corey gives Kev some food for thought on the last verse of She Talks to Angels, and we're interrupted by animals on a second podcast recording of the day for both of us. Will our plucky hosts have the stamina to pull off this double pod day? Will Hard to Handanah live up to its reputation and will Corey bamboozle Kev with the Birthday game?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and let it go on to the wind!Songs covered in this episode: "Hard to Handle", "Thick n' Thin", "She Talks to Angels", "Struttin' Blues", "Stare It Cold"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theultimatecatalogueclashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclashSHOP OUR MERCH STORE!!!

"Cheat the odds that made you brave to try to gamble at times. Well I feel like dirty laundry sendin' sickness on down the line."Not a bad way to kick off your debut, but is it the perfect opener for this record? Why did Corey quit his career as a professional luchador, and what in god's name is that racket outside?? It sounds like a cat being interfered with by a racoon on meth!!! Anyway, we're back with the first album in a brand new season.

Kev's back, Corey's front, and we're all set for Season Seven!We're heading back to Georgia to talk about a greasy, grimy rock n roll band fronted by a pair of feuding brothers and a cast of very quietly superb sidemen who released the antidote to grunge in 1991 and went on to build a three decade plus career touring constantly and putting out uncompromisingly blues-soaked, riff-laden, groove-heavy albums. But will Kev be able to get past his mental road block with the Crowes sophomore release? Will Corey find a single point to dock on the debut? And does anyone have the number of a reliable tailor?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and shake your money maker!Albums covered this season; "Shake Your Money Maker", "The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion", "Amorica", "Three Snakes and One Charm", and "By Your Side"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theultimatecatalogueclashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclashSHOP OUR MERCH STORE!!!

One last special episode to close out season six!We thought we'd take two songs by artists we're pretty sure we'll never cover on "The Clash" and put them through our usual review process. Kev pulled out one of the most iconic electronic hits from the early 80s and Corey took a very Canadian line, picking an artist Kev had never heard of! But will the sparse, dark synth pop of OMD spin Corey's doughnut?

Kev and Corey are going head to head!Kev's away visiting family and the boys didn't want to start a new season while he's over in England. God only knows what gibberish he'll be filling his head with! Probably not much worse than the crap he'll be filling his belly with! In the meantime, we decided that we'd set up a bracket by picking sixteen albums each, from the ones we've reviewed, and pit them against each other on Discord, to see which one will reign supreme! But will Corey load up on Metallica? Will Kev sacrifice any top picks to secure beloved favourites?

Who will win the right to choose the artist for season seven and will Corey pull off an overtime win this season's game?

“A hole in the wall, maybe four feet by four feet, that started around your ankles. You had to hunker down, nearly crawl your way in, and once you were inside it was a whole other world. Dark wood, exposed brick, stone and shadows. The sharp waft of beer, cigarette smoke, the sweet funk of weed and rot. Music pumping. Extension cords snaking to the speakers, drums set up beneath a bedsheet, voices, laughter, college kids standing around with bellies full of beer, maybe some pills, definitely that frisson of being in the right place, with the right people, maybe even at the right time.”- Peter Ames CarlinCorey is away on important national security work. He says it's not spying "per se" but he can't tell me which country he's in and has told me I can't ask him any questions about plutonium. Oh, also, the superb author and journalist Peter Ames Carlin dropped by to talk about his brilliant book, "The name of this band is R.E.M." which Kev devoured ahead of jumping into this season. We chat about Peter's musical background, why he wanted to write about this band in particular, lots (of course) about the band themselves and a little bit o' The Boss, who's the subject of his most recent work.But will Kevin flub the intro and will he force Peter to play any ridiculous games before he signs off?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and disappear down Flamingo Lane.Go find Peter's works, including his biography of R.E.M. on his website: https://www.peteramescarlin.com/booksDon't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theultimatecatalogueclashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclashSHOP OUR MERCH STORE!!!

And just like that we're wrapping up Season Six! We cover Side B of R.E.M.'s last multi-platinum-selling album, Monster. There's a lot more cock talk than you might have imagined heading in as Kev and Corey announce their new live musical project! But, will anyone get banged? Will anyone be blamed?

Polish horror writer Bartek Dabrowski once said “It is better if you do not see the monster. The monster in your head is far more powerful than any we can create on screen”. It's something that Steven Spielberg definitely leveraged when he made Jaws - which Corey recently discussed on his fantastic Power of Positive Geeking podcast! But that's enough promotion of Corey's other shows! We're cracking the seal on the final album of this season! Yep, that's right, we're turning up the disortion and kicking out the jams.
