October 20, 2021 Some Kind of Monster
It's been 20 years since Metallica made their first attempts at recording their 8th Studio album. Following the Load and Re-Load albums, this load took over 700 days to emerge.
The whole process was almost entirely documented in the 2004 film Some Kind of Monster.
In this episode of the Blastfrom Castform we discuss that eventful documentary as well as the fruits of their arduous labour - St. Anger; the counter argument to the old adage 'if at first you don't succeed...'

In this sequel to the Musicians in the Movies episode we discuss thespian invasion of pop music. People who imagine themselves so talented that one branch of the entertainment industry cannot hold them.Some people hate it - they're taking up space after all that could be allocated to professional musicians. Space in the studio. Space on the record release schedule. And finally space in the bargain bin.Now thanks to your favourite music streaming services, the efforts of these actors are now out of the bin and can take up space in your head - including Bruce Willis, Katey Segal, Eddie Murphy, Crispin Glover and many others. Listen along with us on the latest episode of the Blastfrom Castfrom. Not literally on the podcast, listen on your own time – we're terrified of the army of copyright infringement seeking robots, scouring the internet like dream shattering Terminators. Back to the Future II didn’t predict that one.

May 14, 2021 Beef Rap
For the unfamiliar – Beef Rap is not a bovine offshoot of the popular music genre. To have ‘beef’ with another person is to take umbrage with something they have done or said. In Rap music, these issues are best addressed through the medium of song.Fury is not always the motivation for starting a lyrical feud. Some are looking to make a name for themselves, assert their overall dominance over the entire genre or, if you’re in and around of the Ultramagentic MC’s, you do it for the belly laughs.As out of our depth as Busy Bee preparing for a battle rap with Kool Moe Dee, Blastfrom takes you through an idiots guide to Beef Rap on this episode of the Blastfrom Castfrom. We discuss the Bridge Wars, Tim Dog vs The City of Compton among others.And of course, we examine the most over analysed rap feud of all time – Jay-Z vs Nas. The fans, the ‘experts’ and the artists themselves have all addressed and come to their own conclusions about this legendary beef – but perhaps the feeble view of three Scottish dorks will finally settle the argument.
