tripping balls (a music podcast?)

With less than a week until the NBA regular season tips off, it's time again for our annual BALLS Podcast NBA Season Preview And Conference Draft Beer Bet Thingy. After two years of Beeso showing all the draft acumen of the Sacramento Kings (with the championship record to match) we've shaken up the format by inviting friend of the show and self-confessed only-person-on-Earth-who-gets-all-their-NBA-takes-from-our-podcast Adamhfoto as third wheel/wrinkle/banana on our third annual draft special. Besides drafting teams from each conference in turn as a flimsy pretense for arguing about who will be tops, decent or stinking fetid trash in the 2018-19 regular season, we get into having too much depth, institutional memory, projections of projections, peak Kawhi vs peak Giannis, defending Delly, falling on dark days, expensive mediocrity, the ballad of Jimmy Butlerhow to fix a dysfunctional locker room, discovering smallgoods, adding 10 pounds of muscle and a three point shot, the next Anthony Bennett, forgetting how to win, net gains, why are you here and what are you for, Mo Bamba Mo Problems, bringing boogie back, getting your drinks orders in, the Dapto Dogs, betting against Bron, it's better not to burn out or fade away, getting through to IT4, who/what/where, early season Russ'd, the Empire strikes back, vertical hair, vertical spacing, giving bad contracts to bad people, Fred West, KATchafire, forgettable clipart, long run-ups, hammering Hammer and driving to the conditions. You can draft us on Omny Studio, iTunes and Spotify Podcasts, and shout at us on Twitter and Facebook.

In the second of our guest eps following our 150th ep soundtrack special, the Doc welcomes Albion Love Den to talk through his five favourite soundtracks of all time. Also featuring Dexter from Perfect Match, Japanese second-hand stores, being in Hansard, being not for instore play, Seattle 'Sonics, Australiana's brief moment, Darren of Wodonga, closing the Tote, singing when you're winning, defending these Streets, boganface and the most on-brand music collaboration in the history of on-brand music collaborations. Next review ep: new stuff from Jungle, Thundamentals and The Crystal Method, and a couple of Blues Explosion classics from 1994 and 2004. Current and recent review albums are on our After Dark album review playlist (new stuff added to the end) while our favourite tracks of the year from albums we've reviewed are on our 2018 After Dark Mixtape. Find us on...

Because NBA be cray and cray be unstable we popped the trunk (thanks and regards Jalen and Jacoby) for an emergency pod on the Timberbulls disintegrating in very 2018 (and very online) fashion, Stak Jack becoming KG Lite, Lee Jenkins becoming the Clippers' new shiny thing, the link between the Grantland studio and the great flood of 1974, the Sixers being on-Brand, the '90s being the new '50s, The Running Man, Howe'd you get that, keeping that same energy, the Go-Bore-Tweens, Songs Of Brisbane Adjacent Musical Artists and Radio For-Zzzzzs. We didn't even get to Joe Ingles taking gold for Australia in international sledging (though the Doc did drop a sick Chievo Verona points deduction reference that less than zero listeners will get, so golf clap for you fella.) Back in our regular timeslot(s) this week with sports (namely motorsports with the artist formerly known as Bernie) and tunes (soundtracks with Adamhfoto and Albionloveden.) Find us on...
