  • #358 Why don't you just make the show quicker? (30th June 2024)

    Do these blurbs get shorter every week? Perhaps they do. You don’t come here for the blurbs though. You come here for the quality tunes and top-draw chat. This show has both in spades.

  • #357 Small Records Vol 3 (23rd June 2024)

    Howdy folks. How are you all? Hope you're well. We're doing OK. Mondays are always a bit of a slog and the mood tends to be dictated somewhat by how good the show was the previous day. Thankfully, yesterday's show was a doozy. As it was show 357, we played 7inch records for 2 hours.


    We didn't really do much planning but the we kinda knew what each other packed, so it kinda worked. Well, we think it did. Hopefully you do too!

    Look. It’s been a long day. Nobody reads these things anyway. It’s a show. It’s been uploaded on Monday so that should be enough.


    Tune in next week to hear us play 45s. That’s always a laugh as it’s the sound of two people semi-panicking while frantically looking through records to play.

  • #351 Some songs engineered by Steve Albini (12th May 2024)

    Ahoy-hoy radio fans! Back in the studio after an unexpected (but much needed) week off. It’s weird, we only missed one show but it’s like we’ve never done it before. Perhaps we’re gettin’ old. (we’re definitely gettin’ old).


    This week, we dedicated the last hour to the sad news of Steve Albini’s passing. There are extensive show notes this week which are well worth your time if you're that way inclined.

  • #350 Weird 'ish Vol. 10 (28th Apr 2024)

    Dread it, run from it, but a weird show always arrives all the same and now it’s here. Show 350 for your listening pleasure. Regular listeners will love or hate it when we hit these shows. To be honest, we kinda feel the same. It’s tough to put together and it’s tough to listen to at times. Still, we’ve got a format and we’ve gone too far to change course now.


    Some highlights this week enjoy a bit o’ breakcore, a lament and plenty of other odd things we’re not quite sure how to classify.
