May 07, 2021 9. Paul McCartney’s Flaming Pie (Bonus)
We’re having another big slice of Paul McCartney’s Flaming Pie in this bonus episode. In it, we reveal our own personal cuts of the album. It will not be a shock that Paul Murphy omitted the title track! Paul also responds to listener feedback on his album review. We talk about seeing Macca live. On one occasion, this involved us jogging through Glasgow on a Friday night & standing in vomit for 40 minutes on a train! Hear the full story in the pod. Paul M’s Mum was lucky enough to see Wings live in 1975. Hear what stories she relayed to Paul from that (birthday cake for Linda & Paul’s gangster shoes!). Stephen explains why he’d love to hear an acoustic McCartney album. We discuss Macca latterly getting the respect/credit he deserves for his music. And we debate whether albums have a future in the streaming world. Have a ‘Great Day’! Thanks for listening.

April 30, 2021 8. Trimming Paul McCartney’s Flaming Pie (1997): A Discussion
It’s a bank holiday weekend here in the UK and what better way to celebrate it than listening to the latest episode of Trimming The Musical Fat. In it, we take our scissors to one of our musical heroes, Paul McCartney, and his highly regarded 1997 album - Flaming Pie. What songs will survive the cull as we attempt to make it shorter for a better listening experience. Hear Paul Murphy’s hate for the title track; what was entertaining the UK in 1997 (Spice Girls & Teletubbies); Heather Mills jokes; thoughts on McCartney III; and surprising sales figures. We loved revisiting this album. We hope you enjoy listening to the podcast! PLAY NOW!!! Like the podcast?

April 16, 2021 6. Trimming Metallica’s ...And Justice For All (1988): A Discussion
Let’s rock!!! Metallica. One of our favourite hard rock bands. In this episode we take on the bands 16M selling ‘And Justice For All’ 🤘 An album even the band now admit was too long! 🕰 Listen as we discuss song length, lack of bass, and how it ‘could’ve’ been their best album 💿 Mark makes a VERY passionate case as to why ‘Dyers Eve’ should get a place on the TTMF Supercut of the album (violent threats were made!) 🥊 Paul N tries to get a 10 minute instrumental onto it (when it’s only 50 mins long!) 🤷‍♂️ Paul M laments having not seen Metallica live. Bryan manages to partake in the podcast while providing childcare & taking a bath 🛀 And Stephen gets to share his Metallica Netherlands joke 🇳🇱 What are you waiting for? We have a new found appreciation for the album. Join us as we Seek & Destroy this hard rock classic! 💥Like the podcast?
