Fifty by Two

Welcome to Fifty by Two, a podcast about music where two friends with very different tastes count down their top fifty albums.

The Match Klaxon gets a deceptive outing in this episode, and - thanks to some recording problems - one of us gets the opportunity to have a short unimpeded rant.

Welcome to Fifty by Two, a podcast about music where two friends with very different tastes count down their top fifty albums.

Most people probably don't have a favourite canal, but one of us talks about ours in this episode. We also break into the Top 20, and revisit an old friend. There's a new theme as well.

Content Warnings: one instance of explicit language in a music clip, but barely audible; discussions about the music of an alleged sex offender.

Welcome to Fifty by Two, a podcast about music where two friends with very different tastes count down their top fifty albums.

A break from the countdown for another special: we pick three cover versions each and make each other listen to them, for your entertainment. Sometimes we do things just to wind each other up, for your entertainment. We also talk a surprising amount about Strictly Come Dancing, and the 2024 Ballon D'Or nominees. There is literally something for everybody.

Content Warnings: some minor explicit language.

We're back after a short summer break to delve into our next two albums: one that dabbles with occult practices, and one that very much doesn't. If your favourite band was a pizza, what toppings would it have?

Content Warnings: discussions about both Ouija boards and contemporary Christian music. Spoilers for Red Dwarf season eight.

James makes a recovery from illness, and we talk about this year's disappointing Glastonbury line-up, the election exit poll, and our 24th favourite albums.

Note: we had some problems with James' recording and also our call connection for this one, so some of the discussion is slightly disjointed. 

Content Warnings: explicit language (although we're mostly quoting).
