Just the one slightly longer part for this episode, as Chris and Nikki take on the 5 albums of weird, post-punk pioneers, Magazine!

Stick around to the end for the special feature: "Marge, I've Never Read a Magazine in My Life and I'm Not Gonna Start Now!"

CONTENT WARNING: Contains discussion of lyrics involving sexual assault and suicide.

Nikki got to choose the subject of her birthday episode, so she chose for Chris and herself to rank Jeff Buckley's Top 5 Songs!

What a treat!

They discuss highlights from the many posthumous releases before revealing their Top 5 songs, ending with a chat about/general gushing over the legendary album, Grace.

After delving into and ranking Animal Collective's discography back in July, Nikki and Chris are already returning to the experimental indie poppers to discuss their new album, 'Isn't It Now?'

Keep listening to the end to find out where they'd rank it amongst the existing albums.

Nikki and Chris continue their discussion of Turnover's discography with the most recent two albums: Altogether and Myself in The Way.

Stick around for this episode's bonus feature, "Lyric? What's a lyric?", where both give their top 5 songs that mention baked goods in the lyrics (but where said baked good is not in the song title)! Catchy, eh?!

We go all the way back to Episode 15 to discuss PJ Harvey's 10th album, July 2023's ethereal, wondrous 'I Inside The Old Year Dying'.

Chris decides where this fits within his existing ranking and, due to not being present for the original episode despite being a Polly fan, Nikki gives her full PJ Harvey album ranking as of this week!

Chris and Nikki are back with Paul Chave for the third and final part of their journey through the discography of The Smashing Pumpkins. In this part, the albums from the pulpy pumpkin mash that is the latter era of the band's career are discussed with... varying enthusiasm.

Stick around at the end for this episode's special feature, 'Famous Musician, Smiling Politely', inspired by Billy Corgan's wonderful Disneyland photo.

Welcome back, as Chris, Nikki and special guest ranker Paul continue discussing the ups and downs of The Smashing Pumpkins discography!

At long last, we bring you our ranking and deep dive into the discography of The Smashing Pumpkins!

Joining Chris and Nikki on this murky odyssey is returning guest and front man of Lincoln's Bat Flattery, Paul Chave!

In part one, you can hear everyone's rankings, a long ol' chat about our thoughts on The Smashing Pumpkins in general (because, oh boy, is there a lot to discuss) and chat about the first two albums, Gish and Siamese Dream.

Chris and Nikki are back from a brief summer break to discuss their personal Top 5 Songs from the discography of Macclesfield/Salford/Manchester's post-punk pioneers, Joy Division.
