  • The Mild Mannered Army - His 'n' Hers with Lipgloss Jill
    A look at one of the great albums of the Britpop era; His 'n' Hers by Pulp.  Celebrating its 25th anniversary this year it seemed like a good idea to get Pulp obsessive Lipgloss Jill Nolan from the Don't Point That Horror At Me podcast to join me.  From the darkest corners of Jarvis Cocker's mind we examine the imagery, themes and naughtiness of this seminal album.

    I am joined by author, journalist, cultural commentator and good bloke, Mr Nick Amies to discuss "Modern Life is Rubbish" from Blur.  An album that changed everything for a whole generation of young people like us.  From the way we dressed to the way we thought about ourselves.

  • Thoughts on Sleeper
    A rant.
    A ramble.
    Thoughts on Sleeper...ill thought out, delivered with a lack of care, poorly recorded but from the heart.
    A mini-sode.

  • The Mild Mannered Army Episode 6 - OASIS TOP 20 (part two)

    I'm joined again by Mr Nick Amies to discuss my Oasis top 20.  This time we are in the closing stages of the Oasis story.  You can find "Where Did It All Go Wrong", Nick's book on this period of the Oasis tale over on Amazon...and you should, it's a great read.
