Wait! Things sound a little different! What's that music? Why does Matt sound dodgier than usual? Well, take a trip back to 2015 with this special episode of Pick A Disc which is...the first ever iteration of Pick A Disc. The backstory of this episode is revealed quite early on, but whilst you see the genesis of the podcast - the album talked about is Nick Cave's most successful album to date: Murder Ballads (aka The One With Kylie On). Matt and Lee go through the songs and how they update folk ballads and have original songs and the dynamic between Nick and his guest vocalists - enjoy!

From turning up to the Brit-Pop party a little late to toppling one of the most powerful women in 90s pop and eventually re-recording her greatest hits with an orchestra: Sophie Ellis-Bextor's had an interesting career path. Chris Haigh joins Matt to talk about third album "Trip the Light Fantastic" and what it means to Chris.

Jimmy Eat World are put alongside your 00s Pop-Punk bands like Blink-182 and New Found Glory, but they're also respected as pioneers in the emo music movement. Tim Henton explains why second album "Clarity" is his favourite album, but how it differs from the later released "Bleed American". It's an interesting creative path that the band takes and we'll dip into that and more.

There's a special magic with discovering a band randomly. Marc Shinner discovered New Jersey duo Brick + Mortar and instantly fell in love with them. Marc joins Matt to talk about the moment you know you've fallen for a band and the journey to see them live. The conversation moves to live music in general, and touches on support bands and the recent discussion on releasing set-times. It's a good conversation, and we hope you enjoy it!

Love them or hate them, Limp Bizkit were MASSIVE. With capital letters and everything. As polarising as Chocolate Starfish and the Hotdog Flavoured Water is, there's plenty to talk about. Our guest this week is Chris Wilson; massive wrestling fan and host of Cinemortuary and the Without a Mouse podcasts. We talk about the impact of the album, how it leads to other albums and the man himself Fred Durst. Did Matt like it? Well....
