E81 - Manic Street Preachers - Everything Must Go

Our old mate Ning is back on the podcast with Simon as they bang on about a whole host of stuff including receiving emails from Motley Crüe, the British class divide, Radio 1 roadshows, green issues, & dad fishing. 

 

As if that’s not enough, Everything Must Go (                   ) by the Manic Street Preachers is the focus of this episode. We cover the album in depth, analyse how the Manic’s sound changed and discuss Richey Manic’s disappearance.

E80 - Limp Bizkit - Results May Vary

Super Neil returns with Simon to talk all things Limp Bizkit & their 4th album Results May Vary. Recorded at a time when Limp were up there with the big hitters, Fred was apparently rubbing shoulders with peak Britney Spears but minus talismanic guitarist Wes Borland and very definitely following the Nu-Metal boom. The album has been reviled and ridiculed by music writers and fans alike and somehow garnered the second-lowest score ever on Metacritic but is it ACTUALLY that bad? 

 

We also talk about tracks that could have been included on the album, seeing the band live, Neil’s vomiting practices and discuss potential vasectomies

E77 - Kings of Leon - Only By The Night

Take our word for it, this episode is an absolute all-timer!

 

Welcome back to the Personal Jukebox where this time, we tackle Only By The Night from Kings of that there Leon. The album was massively successful, spawning KOL’s highest profile singles & made them proper mainstream but is it REALLY any good? Hmmmmm…

E76 - Pearl Jam - Ten

Pearl Jam released their debut album in summer 1991 and immediately were flung into the burgeoning alternative/grunge music tidal wave even though on this album they don’t really bear the hallmarks of the Grunge ‘sound’. This is no ‘Grunge’ record. Carried on the collective back of stateside mega-hits Even Flow, Jeremy & Alive, Ten eventually outsold Nirvana’s Nevermind in the U.S. whilst on the way garnering criticism from pundits and Mr. Cobain himself.

 

Simon and Boyd give PJ the Jukeboxpod treatment having previously covered the boys waaaay back in episode 4.

E75 - Beck - Odelay

Come listen to the latest podcast with some good ol’ boys. Released right slap-bang in the sweet spot 1996 heartland of the podcast, Odelay was Beck’s fifth (??!) album, yet most still really just knew him from 1994’s played on MTV all the time mega-hit ‘Loser’. Spurred on by not wanting to be a one hit wonder, Beck blended country, blues, rap, hip hop, jazz & rock for this record and was bestowed with universal acclaim from the critics. But is it actually, really any good?

 

Simon and Mr. Stewart Boyd (who else?) get into a now slightly out of date bit of football discussion before rocking the catskills & covering Odelay from back to front.

E74 - UK Chart Top 20 20/3/93 or Doing a bit for charity

The UK chart in 1993 was a proper mixed bag. Whilst acts from the late eighties and big established stars were still putting out material, new artists from diverse ends of the music spectrum such as alternative, boy bands, emerging britpop and even the zeitgeist of the time, Ragga were all throwing their hats into the ring to prise money from young music-buying kid’s hands. 

Join Simon & Lez as they cover the singles and albums charts from March 1993 and get into life at the time. We have a big Iron Maiden discussion, reminisce about Lez’s holiday with Madonna, decide if Lenny Kravitz is any good at all and run the rule over Shaggy, Jamiroquai, Ugly Kid Joe, Therapy? & East 17.

TAKEOVER - The Quireboys - A Bit Of What You Fancy

It’s a TAKEOVER!

Ning steps into the driver’s seat and hooks up with Lez to look at the 1990 debut effort from The Quireboys, A bit of what you fancy. The album reviewed favourably at the time, reached top 2 on the UK album charts and led to the band playing to over 50,000 fans at the Tokyo Dome (5 stars from Meltzer) on New Years Eve. 

Ning and Lez wistfully look back at the time this came out and recount tales of back when they were spotty little oiks, walking around with a boombox, listening to Megadeth & generally up to no good.
