All Just Noise

On the latest episode of the All Just Noise Podcast, James and Neil take a look at the ones that got away; the bands they thought would be huge but fizzled off into indie obscurity. There's also a run-down of the latest Spotify playlist craze doing the rounds and as always and four new tunes go under the microscope in the animal-themed reviews segment, the Neily Wild Show.

As 2021 rumbles on, it seems more important than ever to look forward to returning to those brilliant music venues we used to frequent. Neil and James reminisce about lost venues, unusual venues and some of those who already lost to the ages. There's also a run down of the Shrimp Awards winners and the customary visit to the new release safari that is The Neil-y Wild Show.

Christmas is around the corner so Neil and James prepare with this year's festive offering. In this episode, they take a trip to Somerset for Virtual Glastonbury, look at the best of the End of Year polls for 2020, preview four new tracks from the likes of Oscar Lang and Circa Waves and, as custom dictates, they unveil yet another Neil-based pun for their Christmas quiz. 

Santa Claus in coming to town (unless you're in Tier 4) so strap in with some mulled wine, get those presents wrapped and have a listen!

The year is 1995. Britpop is starting to take hold, Oasis have just filmed Live by the Sea, tickets for Blur’s massive gig at Mile End Stadium have just gone on sale and the Stone Roses are on the verge of a career defining headline performance at Glastonbury. What could possibly go wrong?

In this episode, Neil and James unearth an early recording of one of their cassette-casts and  round up all the festival line-ups and new releases from that glorious spring, 25 years ago.
