Personal Jukebox Music Podcast

I mean… c’mon…. The Red Hot Chili Peppers?? Just how have this band been out there for ages peddling their wares? Every couple of years chucking out a similarly-filled, funk-infused, cheaply lyricised new album, selling buttloads of copies, filling arenas and staying (somewhat)relevant? Plus, who is an admirer and why? 

With neither of us being fans Mr. Kiedis & his merry men we needed to investigate this so we decided to take a good old listen to their 2002 LP ‘By The Way’. 

We also belated discuss the Oasis reunion gigs, Sex Neil being scared that the brothers Gallagher would be ‘too heavy’ for him & associated non-getting of tickets, bah! as well as plenty more.

Part 2 of our One Hit Wonders tournament takes in an outright eclectic mix of tunes and spits them out in ascending order. Listen in to this raucous episode and keep your fingers crossed that everybody involved comes to their senses and realises that Babylon Zoo’s Spaceman is a stone cold classic!

Who doesn’t love a One Hit Wonder? Songs that hit the charts, got stuck in the musical consciousness, were everywhere for a while and then disappeared, the artists in most cases never to be heard from again, relegated to “oh man, remember that (insert name here ) tune? 

Well we love them, or at least slightly like some of them and decided to ask a few of our co-hosts to rate a selection of these single bangers from 1-20, collated the votes and present them to you in a countdown format.

In this episode we cover the first selection as well as welcoming a debut contributor.

Part 2 coming up next episode!

Released slap-bang in the throes of Nu-Metal’s commercial peak, Come Clean by Puddle of Mudd lends slightly from the genre but heaps in elements of Grunge, Post-Grunge & dare say ‘Butt-Rock’ to the overall theme. Wes Scantlin and his band of merry men offer up a plate of digestible rock that was lapped up by fans at the time & had hits to boot. ‘She Hates Me’ & ‘Blurry’ were major successes both sides of the Atlantic but are pretty different to everything else on this album. How does this bad boy stack up? And is it any good? We take it in track-by-track as well as giving a somewhat belated appraisal of this year’s Download Festival.

On this episode we decided to celebrate hitting the big 100 by letting our hair down and asking some of the previous co-hosts to pick their “5 Songs You Can’t Live Without” and it’s yielded some varying, eclectic results. Mr. Stewart Boyd, Courtney G, P.K., Lez, Little Si, Ning & Simon all offer up 5 tracks to the collective masses so expect Alice In Chains to Pete & Bas, The Exploited to The Beach Boys and The Smashing Pumpkins to Little Mix. Beware though, there is a whiff of Iron Maiden in the air. 

PLUS we let you know about a new theme of episodes coming soon and countdown the 3 subjects the show has received the most emails/messages about over the last 4 years.

After over 2 1/2 years of mucking around, we finally get back on the Shine compilation trail and take on Shine 3 - 20 new DAZZLING indie hits. 

Much like the previous instalments in the series, this latest offering includes the big boys such as Oasis, Blur, etc. along with a couple of older tracks from the Roses & Mondays but also features lesser known bands of the time. PLUS we encounter possibly the worst song covered in the podcast’s history. 

Oh yeah, Albarn gets a kicking too 😘

It’s time for a bumper edition of the PJP takeover as Ning brings onboard Lez & 80’s thrash aficionado Gaz to look at one of the aforementioned genre’s seminal albums,  Reign In Blood by cuddly metalheads Slayer.

 

Even the usual Jukeboxpod host would struggle to downplay the reverence of the big hitters ‘Angel of Death’ & ‘Raining Blood’ on this effort but how’s the rest of the material hold up nearly 40 years on? 

The guys cover all aspects of the album and conduct a major internal discussion over track listing & song running times, heavy metal heaven indeed 🤘🏻

And now for something a bit different….

 

The Download Festival is a renowned rock and metal music festival that takes place annually at Donington Park (site of its predecessor “Monsters of Rock”) in the East Midlands and attracts thousands of music fans from around the world. The festival features multiple stages showcasing a diverse lineup of bands and artists, ranging from legendary rock icons to up-and-coming acts. It has become a staple event in the rock and metal music calendar, known for its impressive lineup, electric performances, and unforgettable experiences as well dividing the fanbase on the acts performing & has cemented its reputation as one of the premier music festivals in the UK.

On this episode Simon welcomes back a co-host from many moons ago to take on Little Si”s words per minute record, look back over the festival’s life & pick out keys points for discussion as well as discussing this year’s line-up. Obviously we veer off-topic many a time as well so strap in and get onboard the Download bus!

This episode we take a look at the band nobody in the UK seemed to give two you-know-what’s about, Bush and their debut album Sixteen Stone. We delve into the origin of the band, lead singer Gavin Rossdale’s life & times, question if the band are in fact Day 1 for post-grunge and try to work out how this album sold 6x platinum in the US but barely scraped a silver cert (60,000) in the UK. All of this lovingly wrapping in wrestling-centric metaphors seductively delivered straight into your ear hole.
