Show notes

We did it! 27 episodes deep and we've polished off the first AM era. Join Nick and Dan for a chat about the final track from the EP of the same name. There's hip hop drums, the return of snarky Alex, a Noel Gallagher Mandela effect, and Michael Barrymore brings on the backlash.

Be sure to join us next week for the final episode of the series, as we wrap up a life-changing, generation-defining era with loads of bonus clips, your correspondence, as well as our ranking of every track from the album.

S1 E26: No Buses Mar 08, 2023

Show notes

No Buses? No bother, because have we got the episode for you. Join Nick and Dan for their look back at the penultimate track of the first AM era, and it's the turn of a lovelorn track with George Formby vibes. Yes, it's not quite an episode in twenty-four but it's close enough, and it's all here - Japanese fans, a shameless ripoff/homage and that classic Turneresque switching of perspectives.

S1 E24: Cigarette Smoker Fiona Feb 22, 2023

Show notes

We've finally entered the last phase of the first Arctic Monkeys era, as we move onto the tracks from the 'Who The Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys' EP release.

This week Nick and Dan discuss 'Cigarette Smoker Fiona' via the demo of (almost) the same name, theoretical weddings, the Allen family and a couple of interesting theories.

S1 E20: Chun Li's Spinning Bird Kick Feb 01, 2023

Show notes

It’s time for the second B-side from the Dancefloor single, and our first instrumental. You wouldn’t think there’d be a lot to chat about, but Nick and Dan managed it. Tune in for chat about other famous instrumentals, a surprising nomination and a review that left Nick barely able to carry on.

S1 E19: Bigger Boys And Stolen Sweethearts Jan 25, 2023

Show notes

That's the first album finished, and the end of an era is well and truly in sight as we move onto the first of two B-sides from the band's debut single. This week Nick and Dan talk boy racers, school uniforms and Burberry hats as well as outlining the difference between insecurity and vanity.

S1 E18: A Certain Romance Jan 18, 2023

Show notes

Well, we've reached the end of the road that is the band's seminal debut album. Fittingly for such a classic, it's a bumper episode this week on account of the fact Nick and Dan just couldn't shut the fuck up about this one. All bases are covered, including Alex getting annoyed by wires, *that* SNL performance, where it fits in the pantheon of Monkeys tracks, and why it's the musical equivalent of Breaking Bad.

S1 E17: From The Ritz To The Rubble Jan 11, 2023

Show notes

Well, we're getting very close to the end of WPSIATWIN, as Nick and Dan dissect the album's ferocious penultimate track. Join us as we discuss *that* bassline, how this album heralded the death of indie rock as we knew it, and find out once and for all the similarity between totalitarianism and fondue.

S1 E16: When The Sun Goes Down Jan 04, 2023

Show notes

It's the first week of the new year, and Nick and Dan are back with their review of sex worker classic 'When The Sun Goes Down'. Lots to unpick in this one, including but not limited to actors of their generation, a savage critique of bawdy 1970s British comedies, and a questionable mattress in a Manchester warehouse.

Show notes

Thankfully this episode lasted a bit longer than 21 seconds, as Nick and Dan covered the tenth track from the band's debut album via some shit UK garage, surprising live versions and a poignant message contained within said song.
