tripping balls (a music podcast?)

Draft day, still hatin' on Ayton, gone sick on Doncic, this is the NBA, Dubs Lite, rangy stuff-doing bigs, old country feuds, Serb your enthusiasm, noone wants to hear about your fantasy team, Russian around, don't cry for Argentina, the Iceland blueprint, the end of draft 'n' stash, being two years away from being two years away, the Nets have a plan (?), Dwight's long goodnight, Big Warrior, RC Buford sightings, respecting the hate, GM BB vs HC BB, the Suns did good (??), #PRUNTYSZN2, not all drafts are created equal, Heat checks, Boogie does Dallas, the best shape of my career, Woj off the top rope, fire Olshey, Italia '90 areas, fuel's errand, more special, Symo's sliding doors, basking Sharks, Mexican matchups, Group Put-It-In-H, three word race reports and triple crown chasing.

On the hunt, unnecessary radio edits, getting arrested, lacking legacy, a very particular audience, broken news, up to spec, from pop to rock, time is a flat circle, shouts to the Monarchs, the Desk Drumming Hall of Fame, narrative-driven pop, giving 'em the Chair, Run To The Alex Hills, rites of passage, Stoneage Cameos, rock and/or roll, say no to techbros, flying north for winter, problematic light: ON, BH vs AH, hazy days with Lazy Grey, Cypress Hill I'm looking in your direction, your new favourite band, opportiunities to suck, Five Daves, After Dark Desert Island Discs (part one and two), feelings are hard yo, scaring the kiddies, table dancing, skinny white dudes and dragging Drizzy. This week's new albums were courtesy Ms. Banks and the Presets, with the Hoodoo Gurus' Crank (1994) serving as an excuse to talk Gurus for an ep. Next week: Naked Giants, Wonk Unit and a 2003 Oz hiphop classic from Bias B. Current and recent review albums are on our After Dark album review playlist (most recent at the end) while our favourite tracks of the year are on our 2018 After Dark Mixtape. BALLS and After Dark are also available here: https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/balls-with-beeso-dr-yobbo/id1209722376.

Nothing happens in the NBA, "quitting" on your "team", #EnjoyMyFive, supporting casts, we apologise for the Doc's pronounciation of 'Lopetegui'. centreback sitcoms, Generalissimo Beeso, hard acts to follow, Dray's extension (not the one on Snapchat), Dubs' tax returns, next year's second best team in the NBA, homer insights, shopping by inventory, what goes around, unresolvable head issues, slow motion car crashes, season epitaphs, the fat dancer from Take That, game 1 of 64, is this going to be any good, never go full 1990s Netherlands, playing out of position, N'Golo Rudeword, some weird off-topic AFL stuff, good-but-old vs just-old, previews of games from nights ago, French leftovers, scratching the itch, sit there and swipe, this Sporting life, Bielsa at Leeds? BIELSA AT LEEDS!!, how have Cricket Australia soiled themselves this week, FIFA vs FIFA and confected loyalties.

It's Motorsport Christmas aka the weekend of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and to preview the shenanigans @bernietb joins the Doc to talk Gade getting faded, LM24 commentary, Porsche's plans, the 919 Tribute and Bellof's Nordschleife record, smoking in France, the oral history of the Pink Pig, amateur-class Aussies, BoP and Blancpain, French on French, P2 & P2 101, Kamui's 3:14, 2020 visions, compelling if not close, 24 Hours of Fernando, how will Toyota lose this, Ginetta need better, Giorgio Sernagi-endo, GT predictions, you can't spell disrespect without di Rest(a) and in Soviet Russia, stadiums are designed badly. Enjoy the race, folks.

Shouts to Big Kev, mathematically half decent, the absolute state of dudes, Timmy Time, dragged by silence, hating your own voice, circus school, Bandcamp translations, the invention of metal, Yobsplaining Māori history, getting your double kicks, kapa haka groups, pop filters, unlearning colonialism, bending spacetime, overarching themes, all the drugs, we're a grunge band from Seattle (well it sure beats raising cattle), grime boosters, aspirational hoodies, The Purge but for sample clearance, fandom after the fact, two and a half chords, and a mercifully brief After-After-Dark 'Doc Further Yobsplains NZ History' monologue on eating people, the Treaty and colonial atrocities. Beeso claims he ran out of data and dropped out. A likely story. This week's new albums were Tell Me How You Really Feel by Very-Inner-Melbourne's Courtney Barnett, Tū by teenage te reo metallurgists Alien Weaponry, and Alice in Chains' 1992 breakthrough Dirt. Next week: new long-players from Ms. Banks and the Presets, and the right time to crank the Hoodoo Gurus' Crank (1994).
