It's the most wonderful time of the year!  Or is it? 

Is Christmas music a tawdry commercial sell out or a spectacular celebration?

In this episode we order Michael Buble and Mariah Carey back into their Christmas cave and scratch a little further beneath the surface of Christmas music.

We even manage to share the Christmas music that gets a spin in our houses each year, discuss the joys of communal singing and pontificate where the hell all this Christmas music craziness comes from.

Merry Christmas to you and yours from us at Super Sonic Chat.

Thankyou for giving our first ten episodes such gracious attention.

Naming your band, your art or your audio style seems as hard as packing a house into a suitcase.  

Listen as we tackle the challenge in real time. 

Twenty four hours prior to recording this episode we gave each other a fictitious band to name.   

You are invited to be a fly on the wall as we reveal the names we have chosen for these fantasy bands and talk through the process. 

We also count down our Top 5 band names of all time and the bands we like whose names we don't.  

Listen and tell us, how did we do? 

Can you think of a better name for our imagined bands?  

What are your favourite band names?

Album art sears itself in your mind. In this episode Adrian and Leon demonstrate that by describing an album cover for the other one to guess. 

Play along with the game yourself and discover how an album's image is as recognisable as the tunes on it. 

This one is all about the magic of music videos.

The videos that stay with you forever.

The directors that break new ground.

And a bit about the 'Rage game'.

Is music is a medium for the ears only or do we also experience music with our eyes? 

In this episode,  using only our voices, we compose the images in your mind as we paint a picture of how sound can colour our lives, in harmony with the visual realm.

Adrian has a confronting experience when listening to some new music and looks to Leon for help. Why do some people seem to only want to listen to music from a particular era? Why were the [60s/70s/80s/90s/00s] the greatest time in music history? Super Sonic Chat is here to help. You can reach us at [email protected]

Vinyl records. Are they a big scam? Are they worth every cent? Why, in the age of access to an almost infinite streaming library, are people still compelled to buy a large, plastic disc and go to all that trouble to make that sound come out the speakers? 

Does the perfect album exist? 

If so, how do you know when you are listening to perfection?

Listen up as we saddle our horses, check our maps, find true north and gallop off to seek out the hiding place of the perfect album. 

What do you do when your significant other is a metalhead and you're not?  This episode discusses the gateway songs and sounds to find some common ground for a new couple.

A thought experiment: what is the artist or band with the greatest appeal to absolutely everyone?
