The wizards return with another bumper show that has more pop culture references than you can shake a stick at*, introduces a new musical genre that everyone has been waiting for (if only they knew it), and, without getting anywhere near the bottom of the bowl, takes an in-depth look at soup in rock music.
We also have some seriously good music from Wales, Scotland and very much elsewhere, played on all sorts of modern day formats. So, what are you waiting for? Tuck in right here and there…
* a very small stick, obviously.
Some of the physicality we played on the show:

Kicker’s Questions:
a) Which future rock star first performed under the moniker ‘Jeff Starship’?
b) Which John Cale track mentions a ‘bugger in the short sleeves’ and who was that ‘bugger’?
My contribution to the “Are first albums always the best one?” debate: https://undilutableslangtruth.wordpress.com/2014/04/27/are-first-albums-always-the-best-ones/ partly inspired by your old mention of it…
Ok, ok… I may have been a bit hasty. Mind you, I still stand by my claim that Murmur is REM’s best album, which is where this all started. For the record GBV’s best album is undoubtedly their 7th.
I’m guessing #7 is Bee Thousand?
It is.
