Ep. 2: We begin to document the life, times and tribulations of the much-storied, celebrity-beef-starting, indie troubadour Eddie Argos – and then compile the stories in... The Argos Catalogue. Yes, indeed, it's the inevitable "readers' letters" episode, and boy, do we learn some eye-opening stuff about Eddie's career. So join Eddie and Joe – the Richard and Judy of indie music podcasting – and learn:
> How Eddie was a traffic warden and used to let Mel C from the Spice Girls off from getting parking tickets
> How Eddie once got into an escalating feud with Kele from Bloc Party that ended in him being karate kicked
> He then reveals that he has moved on from starting beefs with famous singers – before immediately starting a beef with Thom Yorke
> What Eddie's dream Top Of The Pops line-up would be and yes of course David Devant and His Spirit Wife would be performing
> Eddie invents a hypothetical but plausible band called “Wellington Boot”
> Eddie and Joe also recall the glory days of Landfill Indie, and whether it was " one of the least exciting things to happen to music this century”
> And in a new, possibly one-off, show segment called “Me and yer granny on bongos” Eddie theorises which bands could survive if you ejected all the members except the singer (and replaced everyone else with a bongo-playing granny)
We’d also like to point out that Richard Madeley was acquitted of all charges of shoplifting, and Eddie was simply making a joke. Send your own questions for Eddie via [email protected]! They'll probably get answered by him!
