Super Sonic Chat

Adrian and Leon share an album with each other. Adrian loves the album he shared with Leon and the same goes for the album Leon shared with Adrian.

However, the person sharing the album has carefully chosen an album that the other will hate. The exercise is to choose an album that will cause extreme irritation and displeasure by listening to it.

The joy of this chat is hearing the different ways that each person hears the same album.

Adrian has recommended Aja by Steely Dan and Leon recommended Chance Meeting on a Dissecting Table of a Sewing Machine and an Umbrella by Nurse with Wound.

In 1977 NASA launched two Voyager spacecraft.

Each craft contained a special Golden Record.

Each record was a time capsule, containing sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth, and were intended for any intelligent extraterrestrial life form who may find them.

They also include 90 minutes of music.

Our challenge in this episode?

Imagine being tasked with selecting 10 tracks to include on the next NASA space probe. Specifically, rock music.

Let us know what you thought of our selections:

There is a great joy in sharing a band or artist with a good friend. Particularly when that friend is new to the sounds on offer.

Adrian shares Parliament's funkadelic masterpiece, Mothership Connection and Leon shares the dirty, experimental Independent Worm Saloon by Butthole Surfers.

The chat combines years of listening with fresh ears and the results are excellent.

Welcome to Season 5 of Super Sonic Chat!

We're back for more musings and meanderings across music fandom.

We kick off with an episode about the art of the parody song.

As kids we loved parody songs.

As teenagers we loved parody songs.

As middle aged men we still love parody songs!

I think we all know who the King of parody songs is right? So let's chat about him! The one and only Weird Al Yankovic.

What makes a great parody song?

Who are the contenders for Weird Al's title?

Leon shares the genesis of his, and probably many peoples, first love for the parody song.

Ade thinks he's found the next wave of parody artists and the challenge is to work out if they themselves know?!

One of the things that started this whole podcast is the sheer joy of sharing musical discoveries.

Adrian and Leon share 10 songs each that they have discovered over the last 6 months.

That's 20 songs (and some cheeky honourable mentions) that have brought joy to the ears and may bring you joy too.

Tell us what music you have discovered this year on our socials:

Of course November is AusMusic Month. At th heart of this episode is a love for Australian Music and the desire to see the next wave of great Australian bands rise up and dominate the globe.

Think of those places you visit that are cool.

Do you remember what music they were playing last time you were there?

We take on a physical challenge to see what the music gods will serve up to us.

The challenge: contact 5 cool places and find out what music they are playing at that moment.

The results were surprising, refreshing and a whole bunch of fun.

Listen to find out what new favourites we discovered and to see which places get to choose their own music and which ones are subjected to management's choice.

Today Adrian and Leon pay penance.

They admit that they have never listened to the albums, Last Splash by The Breeders and Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen in their entirety. Have they listened to songs from those albums? Of course, but to know an artist, you have to hear an album from start to finish.

What did they think? What was the verdict of these universally acclaimed albums? Listen to find out.

"Dear Adrian and Leon,

Help me.

My Father-in-law is a jazz nut.

I don't hate jazz but would describe myself as jazz ignorant.

I need some helpful insights and interesting talking points about jazz so I can relate to my father-in-law and not look like an ignorant jazz hater.

What have you got for me?"

Dear listener,

Don't worry, we've got you covered.

In this episode we've provided you with 10 interesting jazz talking points, all illustrated with key jazz songs and highlighting key jazz legends.

You've got this!

Good luck.
