What Do We Know?

Are real instruments making a comeback in mainstream music? Mike thinks yes. Danny thinks no. Luckily, we’ve got Georgia Campbell here to straighten things out. Or should we say Georgia Moses? Or maybe just Campbell?

As well as trying to mediate our two hosts’ various disagreements, Georgia also talks about her story as a young artist who was destined for big things. She had a development deal, she had the support of all the right people and yet, in a moment of clarity at the age of 19, she chose to walk away.

Oh, and there’s also some stuff about ice hockey. Buckle up.

Sometimes songwriters set out to deceive you, deliberately throwing you off the scent. It’s the musical equivalent of when a movie reveals the hero has been the bad guy all along.

One of the sneakiest ways to do it is by messing with time, one of the least talked about yet most important parts of music. On today’s bonus episode, the guys dig into the mind-bending song Children In Bloom. Why do songwriters do this, and can you find the ‘1’?

Nathan Haines is back on the podcast, and he’s brought his fantastic new album The Soft Chaos with him.

It’s been exactly ten years since Nathan’s first appearance on the show, and what a decade. He’s beaten cancer, ridden out a pandemic and leant into his new role as a dad, all while touring the world, working as a producer and releasing a string of albums and EPs.

The Soft Chaos was recorded in a single day with his three-piece band, and it’s proof Nathan hasn’t lost any of his hunger or curiosity.

A brilliant, inspiring conversation. Don’t miss this one.

Mike’s never written a song. Danny’s written many. Danny thinks it’s easy. Mike feels totally out of his depth. The two sit down to write a complete song from scratch in 30 minutes. No edits, no cuts: it’s all in real time, so you’re right there with them for every idea, dead end and breakthrough. Is songwriting really as easy as Danny says? You be the judge. (By the way, we’re not saying it’s a good song...)

Great band or true to the name? Drummer Logan Wedgwood casually claimed that Limp Bizkit wrote great songs. Once Danny had finished spitting out his coffee in shock, he promptly invited Logan onto the podcast to duke it out. Is there more to Limp Bizkit than just a juvenile party band? Is there artistry underneath that red hat?

Because the world doesn't have enough recordings of Danny talking, our host recently swapped chairs and sat in the guest seat on K'sha Nova Media, a new YouTube show about artists building creative careers. Host Gaby asked Danny about his beginnings, how he put his career together, and a variety of other subjects, including his experience navigating dyslexia and why the music industry doesn't teach people how to be professional musicians.

“Music isn’t what it used to be!” Every generation says this. But is this just the fading battle cry of each generation as they lose their grip on relevance, or is this actually a legitimate change in mainstream music? If it’s real, why is it happening, and can we prove it? We’re joined by drummer Glen Child to see if we can untangle this highly charged debate.

Mark Baynes and Danny McCrum used to play in bands together, until a handful of misunderstandings and a disagreement about a hat ended it. No bad blood, just a parting of ways that's lasted exactly twenty years.

Since then, both of them coincidentally became obsessed with the same artist: Brad Mehldau. Mark's interest runs deeper than most: he's seen Mehldau live nineteen times and spent time with him in person. On this episode, the two reconnect to talk about Mehldau's music, and introduce Mike to what he's been missing out on.

Loosely nicknamed 'Mike's Revenge', the guys return for round two of Music Trivia. This is the game that reveals just how unqualified our two hosts are to run a music podcast. Listen to them hesitate and struggle to find incredibly obvious answers, and stick around to the end to find out if Mike can even the score after his previous defeat.
