Does Mike Love have something to do with the sinking of the Lusitania*? Who the hell are "Bruce & Terri"? Is Trout Mask Replica, like... enjoyable? ... and, most importantly, how in This Whole World do two fathomless Brian Wilson nerds go two whole hours without even mentioning 'The Beach Boys Love You'?

Join myself [tm] and the erudite, insightful Lizzy from The Longest Night podcast as we address half of these and more - cresting triumphal waves and scouring wrecked bottoms to create a very short, very lopsided playlist of the divine and the debauched.

*no.

What... the guy from Massive Attack?

Well...No. Well... kinda. But... 

Join Josh  & I as we herald an underground maverick with more strident under the radar releases than Jacques Cousteau with the squits.

Speaking of... find the deconstructive derrings few dare do of Jacques Ellé - Sean on Facebook @jesuiselation

HO HEY ... LET'S PLAY

Because sometimes a waist-deep morass of trashy tabloid pages is just overzealous shielding for a yummy fish supper.

Rob & I remind you of that fish supper. 

... yeah, that'll do.

Encase your ear-pipes in more of Rob's astute, personable verbiage at https://anchor.fm/the-longest-night or https://wearerebelchums.wordpress.com/ or dig some of his punchy-ass power-pop at https://colourfulsevens.bandcamp.com/

Josh Gemmell (aka poet, performer and provocateur Jacques Ellé - Sean) once more graces IN FIVE towers* to assist in determining, once and for all, Björk's very swooshiest and Björkiest songs.

Our chosen methodology: slagging off your favourite albums.

BON APPETIT!

*Well, If McDonald's can compare their Big Mac to a tower without any legal backlash...

in this amply-lengthed, loosely-bounded... one might say [don't] "freewheelin'" discussion, I confer excitedly with talented tune-belter Hareth Houston on the subject of Duluth Minnesota's second greatest export (the city, of course, being proud home of the "pizza roll"), Robert "Blind Boy Grunt" Zimmerman.

Don't forget to check out Hareth's smashin' new single, 'The Promised Land', on all major platforms.

In Five makes it sound like these are gonna be concise and to the point, dunnit?

Yeah, b*****ks to that.

I once more welcome Rob Wilson (aka punchy power-pop provider Colourful Sevens) to talk at [feature] length about an oft-misunderstood group whose discography, while brief, has exhibited a bold, skin-(and sometimes fan)-shedding musical metamorphosis.

If you're still game for more, please check out Rob's vibrant power pop confections at https://colourfulsevens.bandcamp.com), or how about one of his myriad excellent podcasts (he's better at this than me)? Combining informed veteran commentary and the views of the uninitiated, I'm sure you'll find something to grab you in his in-depth revisitations of the likes of Game of Thrones (https://anchor.fm/the-longest-night) or Disney/Pixar (https://anchor.fm/rebel-chums).

This time, my wearing windbaggery is elevated by the graceful grandiloquence of vocalist (and former The Voice contestant) Ayanam Udoma in a feature length discussion about the music of that schoolgirl that shaved her head or something.

To hear more of Ayanam's music, check out his single 'A is Me', available now through all good streaming services and digital vendors, or visit him  on Instagram @ayanam_music.

Hello, curious! This episode finds me joined by the truly unique Josh Gemmell (a.k.a. contumacious couturier Jacques Ellé-Sean) to wax enthusiastically about electronic legend Richard D. James and his sizable detachment of pseudonyms.

Follow Jacques Ellé-Sean on Instagram and Facebook @jesuiselation ... They're Not What You Expect.

The 'IN FIVE' release schedule continues to barrel along with all the palpable velocity of coastal erosion...

Today I'm joined by multilingual musician and funny chap Kevin "The Kev" McGeary to talk about the output of that late, great titan of the cinematic score, Ennio Morricone. Which snippet of the man's 400-strong catalogue of film scores gets the podcaster all choked up in its marriage to the camera-work? Which selection, on the other hand, does Kevin find 'the equivalent of doing your homework on the bus'? JOIN US AND FIND OUT...
