With the football season in its opening weeks, this show appropriately combines the wizards’ two major obsessions. Not only do we get a number of football related songs, but also some blistering guitar solos, as well as mention of musical dreams of eggs, turds and forgotten front men.
Suitably* presented in what can best be described as a podcast of two halves, you can hear it all here and here and there and there:
Turn away now if you don’t want to know what’s coming up. Otherwise, here’s what we played:
- Courting – Football
- Guided By Voices – Party Rages On
- The Wave Pictures – Cabwaylingo
- Wladyslaw Trejo – Movida
- Throwing Muses – Backroad
- The Hush – Grey
- Soccer96 – I Was Gonna Fight Fascism
- Guided By Voices – Peep-Hole
- Joe Gibbs & The Professionals – Hully Gully Rock
- The Chills – Familiarity Breeds Contempt
The physicality:

TRUST THE WIZARDS 
Another great pod(s), which begs the question, was Rebel Rikkit the secret technical ‘wizard’ of the whole caper…? I really enjoyed the Wladyslaw Trejo track which reminded my of Suicide. Always great to hear some Chills, but I’d say the Submarine Bells shout was highly controversial – Brave Words tops it for me
It appears so. Yes, that WT EP is great and highly recommended. You are, of course, wrong about The Chills. Although tbf there isn’t a Chills album I don’t like. Thanks for listening!
