All Yesterday’s Parties

Season 2, Episode 6. Prepare to dance around your living room and chant like a cretin, before finally opening the door to reveal ALL YESTERDAY'S PARTIES' FIRST EVER SPECIAL GUEST! We welcomed Don't Call Me Ishmael's/Moorlands Radio's very own Gary Wilcox into AYPHQ for what will, in about three weeks, become a Wilcox Audio Tryptych (probably). Our heroes decided to get Gary lubricated (figuratively speaking) with an album swap, and he delivered 'Are You Serious?' by veritable chamberpop captain Andrew Bird, while John & Mike pelted Gary with bellowing guitar-droner Richard Dawson's superb 'Nothing Important' (causing John to try really hard not to do ANOTHER Geordie accent in the process). What did they think? You'll find out after you've listened to them discuss unreasonable customers getting kicked out of poncey cafes, and the perils of Trip Advisor. #Music #Podcast #Review #AndrewBird #RichardDawson #LemongrassTeabags #MurderedOnHoliday #IsItGrotbags

Season 2, Episode 5. Remember last week, when our trusty twosome told you of their fatigue for what populates 'Top 100 Albums' lists? Well, one week on, guess what? That still stands! John and Mike give you the first of their Post-Millennial Albums that they feel are worthy of inclusion in any countdown. Kind of in the form of an album swap, they give give you 'Worlds Apart' by ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, and 'Rated R' by Queens Of The Stone Age. In the acronym stakes alone, Mike takes this round by storm, with ...AYWKUBTTOD versus QOTSA. None of this prickwittery would be complete without some quality pre-burble about the Metal Gear Solid videogame series, of which John and Mike are both fans. As ever, you can tweet us at @ayppodcast, and don't forget to check out Mike's listening notes at http://ayppodcast.tumblr.com and get a sample of the music we've chatted about. #Podcast #Music #AYWKUBTTOD #QOTSA #WorldsApart #RatedR #MetalGearSolid #Konami #Kojima #SNAAAAAAAAKE

Series 2, Episode 4. As you may remember from last series, the Rolling Stone Top 100 managed to break John & Mike when they listened to Van Morrison, and their jaded eyes scoured various Top 100 album lists, only to find that they either contained no albums pre-2000, too much Radiohead, or (staggeringly) too much Garth Brooks. To counter the inequity of music snobbishness evident in Rolling Stone, they intend to discuss their five top albums of the New Millennium, and list the albums they will eventually natter about, but not before Mike gives us some more AI-worded delights, courtesy of http://objectdreams.tumblr.com! Enjoy! #Podcast #Music #Top100 #ObjectDreams #CrimeCorners #MetaBastard #RollingStone #Radiohead #GarthFuckingBrooks

Another week, another podcast, another look at some musicians we love. This week, our heroes look back at artists who once lit their fires - fires which have since extinguished ever-so-slightly. John reminisces about his love of Crowded House (the band who inspired him), while Mike blows the dust off Tori Amos' album 'Boys For Pele'. What did they love about them? Why did they drop off the radar? Listen to find out, but not before John recounts tales of his neighbourhood, and advises us of his progress with Star Trek: The Next Generation. #Music #Podcast #Review #CrowdedHouse #RecurringDream #ToriAmos #BoysForPele #JusticeForJenny #DressingGown #FoodBin #StarTrek #TNG

Season 2, Episode 2. The ball is well and truly rolling on our second series of podcasts, as John and Mike share the albums they first stumped up the cold, hard cash for as children. If you were once entranced by by the musings of Crash Test Dummies, or the prog-metal witterings of Iron Maiden, then this podcast is for you! But there's no hurry - before the main event, Mike blasts his way through a "Who Said It - Trump or Kanye?" quiz (WITHOUT CHEATING, AHEM JOHN). So sit back, relax, and listen to this week's All Yesterday's Parties, and perhaps read Mike's Listening Notes at http://ayppodcast.tumblr.com, and then maybe tweet us @ayppodcast! #Podcast #Music #Review #IronMaiden #CrashTestDummies #UpTheIrons #MmmmMmmmMmmm #WhoSaidIt #TrumpVsKanye #ContainsMildSatanicPeril

Season 2, Episode 1. John and Mike return after a heady two weeks off (frantic, in some cases) and are ready once again to trade albums, The Dø's 'Both Ways Open Jaws' and 'NEU!' by NEU! (beware when searching for this album on Spotify, warns John). NONE of this will come before the illustrious duo have discussed breastfeeding your boyfriend, milking cockroaches, and how not to order food at an Ostrich-Burger bar. WELCOME BACK, FRIENDS. WE'VE MISSED YOU. Don't forget to head to http://ayppodcast.tumblr.com for Mike's Listening Notes, and tweet us at @ayppodcast if you've a recommendation/a wry comment/some lighthearted abuse. #Music #Podcast #Review #TheDo #NEU #Pop #AltRock #KrautRock #Sampler #WhatTheHELLSpotify #Breastfeeding #CockroachMilk #OstrichBurgers #Nipples #IDreadToThinkWhatAudienceTheseHashtagsWillAttract

There's a fire between us, listeners, and a markedly different one, compared to the fire that exists between AYP and Babylon Zoo's debut album, 'the Boy With The X-Ray Eyes'. Mike decided it would be interesting to listen to an album by a certified one-hit wonder and, even now, it's hard to tell if he was right. You can get the full force of our reckoning by listening to the episode, and you can also hear our takes on this year's superhero movies, and which films to have sex to, if you fancy a challenge. Our landmark tenth episode has arrived, and stay tuned for more in a couple of weeks after we've had a quick break! Don't forget to check out the listener's notes at http://ayppodcast.tumblr.com, and tweet us your least arousing film at @ayppodcast! #Music #Podcast #Review #BabylonZoo #OneHitWonder #Spaceman #Jeans #Ad #Cinema #Sex #Superheroes #BatmanVSuperman #Saw #MoodKillingPigRunOff #StillAtItWithTheHashtags

Hello! It's another action packed episode as Mike and... er, the other one, have a pre-emptive natter about Pokemon Go (as is the way with news this year, in the week and a bit since recording this, it was released in the UK and all hell broke loose), and go on to discuss Bob Dylan's 'Blood On The Tracks' as another installment in Rolling Stone's Top 100 Albums. In fact, John and Mike manage to talk about various artists *around* Dylan, which is somewhat representative of his being embedded in the music scene of the last several decades. Anyhoo, enough reading about the episode, go and listen, then check out Mike's listener's notes at http://ayppodcast.tumblr.com #Music #Podcast #Review #BobDylan #BloodOnTheTracks #PokemonGo #BrightEyes #JeffBuckley #Judas #Country #AltCountry #Americana #AllYesterdaysTicklage #GoddamnHashtagsAllUpInMyGrill

Greetings once again, dear listeners. In a move intended to soften our often-harsh bashing of Van Morrison, we listened to another record from the Rolling Stone Top 100 Albums list, 'Astral Weeks'. It's safe to say we weren't prepared for this, all we will say is that we tried, but not before discussing the baffling collapse of ATP, and the dangers of having a sausage fire in your pyjamas. Don't forget to check out Mike's listening notes on http://ayppodcast.tumblr.com and tweet us @ayppodcast #Podcast #Music #VanMorrison #AstralWeeks #Folk #ATP #SausageTrauma #HowsAboutThemHashtags

"Like a stumpy John Travolta!" Welcome back to All Yesterday's Parties, where it's all about Mike introducing John to Erase Errata's debut album 'Other Animals', but not before Mike sets a quiz for John, who manages to assert his (incorrect) score so confidently that it goes unchallenged until Mike listens back to the recording immediately prior to the upload. Also, mused upon: What day-to-day activity would Van Morrison set an arbitrary time limit upon? If you have any ideas for this, let us know via the usual channels. Also, don't forget to read Mike's listener notes at http://ayppodcast.tumblr.com so that you can sample the music of which we speak. Ready!
