On this episode we return to a topic we covered all the way back in EP4: Sampling.

We take a look at the legally murky world of unauthorised mash-up albums and one album in particular that turned it's creator into one of the biggest producers of the 21st century...

Cameron may be starting to fall out of love with his Spotify Wrapped playlist but Euan and he still take you through their listening habits of 2023.

And of course the MIADS Awards returns - new and improved!

Merry Christmas and we will see you in 2024! (or Yule, if you're a newly converted Pagan)

EVERY ALBUM. EVERY SONG.

Pt. 5 includes UNLIMITED LOVE & RETURN OF THE DREAM CANTEEN

Here it is, the FINAL PART of our Red Hot journey!

Still 2 albums left, both released in 2022 and both 17 tracks long. Will the Chilis go out on a high or come crashing back down to the (familiar) lows...

We also wrap up the whole special in this part: we decide on our favourite albums, create the official MIADS Hits and hear from a RHCP fan to tell us the Otherside (see what we did there) of the discussion on the band - big thanks to Grant for giving us his thoughts!

EVERY ALBUM. EVERY SONG.

Pt. 4 includes I'M WITH YOU & THE GETAWAY

The Klinghoffer years of Red Hot Chili Peppers gets scrutinised on this episode of the discography odyssey MIADS has embarked upon.

We were unable to fit in the 2022 duo of album as well because we just had too much to say, so look out for the 5th and FINAL part of the special coming soon...

But there's still plenty to dive into today, a new guitarist and maybe even a new producer!? How exciting...
