S5 E10: 'Snap Out of It' Aug 05, 2025

Show notes

We delve into an episode for a song that we both have issues with. However, we get to the heart of those issues through analysing the music. We also dispel a fan theory on the lyrics!

In the pre-show, we break down Gorillaz's hit Demon Dayz.

So, if you're sick of us by now, then bloody snap out of it and crack this episode on!

S5 E9: 'Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?' Jul 29, 2025

Show notes

We loved discussing this hip-hop beat-led classic in the discography.

From bad covers, a sexually explicit video and personal stories around this 'topic' let's say, this week has it all!

So get drunk, wait until 3 AM and put on this episode. Why'd you only listen to us when you're High?

We also dissect a beast of the hip hop world '2001, by Dre.

Apologies for the sound issues from Dan's Mic in the first part of the show.

S5 E7: 'Mad Sounds' Jul 15, 2025

Show notes

A light-sounding song gets matched by a lighter episode with less information.

However, we still have some interesting discussions on guest band members, the music and the meaning of the lyrics!

Some put some mad sounds in your era and get up and then listen... I guess.

We also dissect one of Justin's favourite artists, Leonard Cohen, in the pre-show with his debut album 'Songs of Leonard Cohen'.
