tripping balls (a music podcast?)

This week on TBP's new music show: Andy Cooper from Ugly Duckling has no egrets, Osees, Oh Sees and/or Thee Oh Sees are caught by the fuzz and James Williamson and Denis Tek are offering Two To One on their album sounding like Stooges-meets-Birdman 40 years on (get on at that price). Also: old grooves, inexplicably big in Europe, personal commissions, even more still hungry, coffee shop sugar theft, grime guests, fixating on the seventh-best Beatles album at the expense of listening to anything released in the last decade, west coast Beasties, insufficient Patreon tierage, washed dads, writing about your lived experience, Do Not Want, interestingly weird vs unlistenably weird vs just weird, amplifiers full of gravel, where are we going and why have we taken so many drugs, hinging off ancient runes, our Blues Explosion classic albums ep, driving through mud, Sydney nightlife: it always sucked, some working parts, second divorce Guardian boomer energy, wandering off into the countryside, #DocReadsBios, Harry Styles styles, sick as a parrot, no we have no idea what Doc is saying either but we're very very sorry and last week tonight. Next week: Elderbrook, Didirri and Frankie and the Witch Fingers. Current and recent review albums are in our album review playlist on Spotify, along with our full archive of earlier review albums from 2020 and our long-awaited mixtape of our favourite tracks from therein.
