All Yesterday’s Parties

Season 2.5, Episode 3. The third wander through Safe As Milk's announced acts, with John & Mike's insights (such as they are) into Shirley Collins, Carla Dal Forno, and Dopplereffekt, and there is a shock revelation about Mike's private habits.

Season 2.5, Episode 2. Our between-season season continues apace, as John & Mike listen to another three artists due to appear at Safe As Milk festival. This week, it's down to Islam Chipsy & EEK, Chrome, and Circle. Will John get through any of the artist bios without stumbling over difficult names or troublesome grammar? BEFORE THAT, Mike recounts a heartening tale of an unsuccessful sex shop rubbery robbery. Did you enjoy this? Want to follow us on that social media they have these days?

The Road To Safe As Milk, Season 2.5! We're taking a significant enough divergence from our regular format to warrant calling this a between-season season, and this is a season of pure research in the run-up to our Anniversary Episode, which will be recorded at the Safe As Milk Festival! Held in the same place, at Pontins in Prestatyn, we'll be reconvening to talk about the acts we've been enjoying at the festival, just like we did last April. However, before that, we've taken it upon ourselves to listen to all the acts on the bill - IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER. Listen on, as we listen to Actress, Ata Kak, and Brainbombs, and don't answer the door - it's Celine Dion.

Season 2, BONUS EPISODE. To round off the season arc of post-millennial top picks, Mike did a bit of research and discovered that clash magazine did a top 100 Albums of the ten years it had been in print, and number one was Kanye West's 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy', so in full enterprising spirit, John and Mike listened to it while chomping down some chow mein. Listen to what they thought of it, along with some fascinating insights into what it must be like being Nelly, and how to impersonate a nipple. #Music #Podcast #Review #Kanye #SillyNelly #ItIsABitWarm

Season 2, Episode 12. John & Mike present their final choices for post-millennial albums worthy of inclusion into a Top 100 Albums Of All Time (the most succinct way we've been able to phrase it since we started, tbh). John's choice of "albewm" is Janelle Monae's 'The Archandroid', while Mike gently lobs Ex Easter Island Head's '22 Strings' into the fray, with glorious results. None of this happens without your two complete ninnies giggling over housebreaking primates, and creating Mary Berry's Geordie Baboon Bake-Off in the process.

Has it really only been a week? Well, Mike and John return to drop more post-millennial pop pickings on your ass (sorry to those of you not in possession of a donkey). This week, Mike provides the Lykke Li, while John provides the Bon Iver, pausing along the way to muse upon pronunciation, BUT NOT BEFORE discussing the merits of jumping in a bath of hot sauce, keks or no keks. Are you ready for this? We hope so, because your choice in the matter is limited (we've turned off your ability to turn off this podcast).

Season 2, Episode 10. Hello! You came back! How very novel of you. This week continues our foray into post-millennial top albums, with Mike giving us Fuck Buttons' 'Street Horrsing' and John doling out 'Night On My Side' by Gemma Hayes, but not before the subject of AI makes a welcome return to proceedings (how we neglected to mention "Tay Tweets" on previous occasions, we'll never know). To top things off, in homage to Fuck Button's somewhat blunt nomenclature, John and Mike have a look at a list of what the people of Britain regard as "top swears".

Season 2, Episode 9. Gary wilcox has managed to escape the building, and so our two brave boys must once again duke it out alone, resorting to their usual tricks of fancy beers, making niche Stewart Lee references, and talking about post-millennial albums that were sorely overlooked by Rolling Stone, et al. This week, Mike gives Yo La Tengo's 'I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass' an airing, while John introduces us to Nerina Pallot's 'Fires'. BEFORE THAT THOUGH, hear the sorrowful tale of a man who was holding a gun & a camera and neglected to figure out which hand operated which piece of apparatus. Ready? Good.

Season 2, Episode 8. It's here - the last of our triptych of 'The Wilcox Saga'! This week, we probe Gary Wilcox to find out what musicians comprise 'Early Snow', the name for his Fantasy Five-Piece Band. Prior to this, we host a special Q&A session, which involves Mike & John playing Surgeon Simulator on PS4 while Gary grills them with random questions. Will Mike get the pencil out of his patient's ribcage? Will John get his bunny ears on? Will Gary sneak an extra band member into his supergroup? Only YOU can find out. By listening. With your ears. #Music #Podcast #Supergroup #SurgeonSimulator #BunnyEars #WhyDoesDireStraitsArouseMyCat

Season 2, Episode 7. It's time to discuss 'Bands What We Have Loved And Left Behind' again, this time with Special Guest Gary Wilcox discusses his love of Canadian folk-pop-rocksters Barenaked Ladies, a band also beloved by John. As the conversation careens hither & yon, they cover classic UK Saturday telly event 'The Chart Show', the cost of albums in the 90s, the state of BNL pre- and post- the leaving of Steven Page, the Curse Of The Double Album, cassettes and MiniDiscs, and can John tell the difference between a dearth and a glut? (No.) Before ALL this, they return to an old topic of Pokemon GO, discussing the merits of shagging by a water wheel, and why John likes to choose news stories that require leaps of pronunciation.
