Trve. Cvlt. Pop!

Hello, welcome to not really a Trve. Cvlt. Pop! Podcast. No, it isn't. Steve was on holiday this week, so, rather than give you nothing at all, we've delved back into the archives of Gaz's old podcast, Track One Side One, an unearthed a cracker. This is Gaz's conversation with podcast high roller Stu Whiffen, he of the Off the Beat and Track, Hardcore Listing and many other shows, talking about Stu's 5 favourite album openers.

If you'd like to hear more, search out Track One Side One wherever you get your podcasts from, there's 53 banging episodes ready for your consumption.

We also pay tribute to legendary music PR Michelle Kerr, who sadly passed away this week. Please consider donating to her Gofundme here - https://www.gofundme.com/f/michelle-kerr-memorial-fund

Normal service resumes next week.

Hey everyone, it's time for you to listen to this podcast, Trve. Cvlt. Pop!

It's a slight change in scheduling this week, because Gaz is away and Steve is about to go away, so in steps Louder's own former editor of Metal Hammer and ex-podcast lad Merlin Alderslade.

We discuss the events across the 12 months of 2009. Not a banner year in your mind possibly, but there's a very good chance that 2009 was the most eventful year for music so far in this Millennium. There were high profile deaths, the making of future superstars, the launching of the king of the streaming world, shocking events at awards shows and lots and lots of great albums that pointed toward where music was going were released. We talk about it all.

It's time for us to attempt to find the worst album ever made once again, that's correct, it's Trve. Crvp. Pop!

On this episode we go back to the year 2001 and look at Urban Renewal, a tribute album to the work of Phil Collins, featuring a cast of R&B and hip-hop stars of the era... we aren't making this up by the way... it's really Ol' Dirty Bastard, Pharell Williams, Kelis, Brandy, Montell Jordan and... Dane Bowers... ? Honestly, we're not making this up.

In the late 90's no one could have been less cool than Phil Collins, and so, obviously, this got a kicking. But is it really that bad? The third worst album ever bad? Korn's Daddy played on a piano bad? Not on your nelly!

Hello and thanks for joining us once again for an episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! it's a music podcast mate.

It's episode 100, we've reached the milestone that is triple figures. As a sort of celebration all of the podcasts big players have got together, Steve, Gaz, Sam and Alasdair, to interview each other. We touch on everything from discovering noise rock, the definitive British band, what would make you commute to the other side of the world, living in Bosnia in the 90's, why one of us aren't into Linkin Park and, obviously, Alan Partridge. It's a lovely chat.

Welcome back to Trve. Cvlt. Pop! it's a music podcast u kno. Where else could we go this week?... well, anywhere we wanted really, but we choose to spend the episode talking about one of the biggest music stories in forever; the reformation of Oasis after 16 years away. Will it work out? Who will be in the band with Liam and Noel? Who will support them? We pose all the questions.

Plus, is it the biggest reunion of all time? Well, we'll dive into that too, picking some of the most shocking, surprising, successful and famous reunions in music's history and comparing them to the madness we've seen this week.

Welcome back to another Trve. Cvlt. Pop! a Shaggy Podcast... well, a music podcast, but this week Shaggy plays a HUGE part in the show.

He's not totally dominant though, although... look it's a lot of Shaggy. But Steve and Gaz look at a recent article proclaiming the 25 most overrated albums of all time and see if the criticism holds up. Plus there is a report of a recent show in Gent by returning death metal heroes The Black Dhalia Murder. It WAS us actually.

Hey there YOU! welcome back to Trve. Cvlt. Pop! your definite favourite music podcast. This week Steve has been out and about, watching bands at both the recent Bloodstock Open Air Festival and Korn's first ever UK outdoor headlining show at Gunnersbury Park, talking about raisins, going to festivals and getting his hearing blown clean off. Great.

Gaz hasn't, but he is happy to chuck his two cents in for thoughts on the official announcement for next year's iteration of the BOA Festival. It's gonna be good that! We also do a very quick Box A, B, C game as well. Lovely stuff.

Hello and welcome back to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! the podcast about all music, except, as you'll discover, rock music.

On this episode we look at the second group of albums from July, which, we'll be honest, isn't quite as strong as the first. We look at new albums from Empire of the Sun, The Smashing Pumpkins, Denzel Curry, Soft Play, Rakim, Cigarettes After Sex, X and Los Campesinos.

There's also a review, well more a drunken recollection, of Brighton Pride and Girls Aloud and a rant. A massive rant.

Yes mate! It's another Trve. Cvlt. Pop! your favourite music podcast. On this weeks show Steve and Gaz round up the best releases from July, starting with 10 bangers from Jack White, Berwyn, Eminem, Remi Wolf, Common and Pete Rock, Gorgon City, Orange Goblin, Childish Gambino, Hatti Vatt & Kessoncoda. 

Plus there are live reviews from Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band at Wembley stadium and... Winnebago Deal, in a pub. Range!

STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING! It's an emergency Trve. Crvp. Pop!, the spin off of the Trve. Cvlt. Pop! podcast where we search for the worst album of all time. That's not what this is though, Steve and Sam are back because 2000's pop megastar Katy Perry has launched her return to music with a song that Rolling Stone have posited as "the worst comeback song of all time" so we felt that we needed to intervene. 

That's right, Katy is back, and rathe than the more serious stuff she has been doing over the last half a decade, we assume, like everyone else, we haven't listened to it properly really, but her bubblegum pop persona is back! good news eh! Well... you might want to sit down for this. See, she's only gone and written a feminist anthem with someone who has some, ahem, pretty shady back story, has made a mad as fuck video and has tried to pass the whole thing off as satire. Is it as bad as the rest of the world seems to think? Is it an affront to femininity? Or is something else going on here? It's a complex situation. Luckily, two straight men are here to let you know what to think. THANK GOD!
