We ease into the new year with a trip down memory lane back to the summer of 1999. A place where the UK charts were inhabited by such mega big-hitters as S Club 7, Shanks & Bigfoot and The Vengaboys. Can we find any actual decent stuff knocking around at the end of the old millennium though?

Full disclosure, both Simon & Neil are full of ‘festive spirit’ in this episode. Be warned.
In 2012 the BBC decided to commemorate the then 20 year career of one Mr. Pete Tong on their radio platforms by polling the great British public for their favourite dance records put out during Tong’s tenure.
We begin by looking back at Mr. We Continue’s work but quickly descend into a full-on drunken tune-fest. Basement Jaxx, Armand van Helden, Josh Wink, The Chemical Brothers and lots, lots more get an airing.
Enjoy the last show of the year and we’ll be back soon

So we looked at 2001's Kerrang offering a few episodes back but now let's have a gander over the British magazines 1994 effort of 30 Kranium Krunchin' Kuts taking in 3 decades and celebrating 500 issues of Kerrang!
Simon is joined by old Metal Head himself, Gaz Davies to take in 2 discs of Kontempary Kaos and Kerrang Klassix, all the time bearing in mind that the cd itself warns that this Kacophonous Kollection will make their ears bleed...... Even the Little Angels track???

Marketing Man 1 – “That ‘Shine’ album did ok, don’t you think?”
Marketing Man 2 – “It didn’t sell as well as ‘Dance Zone Level 5’ though”
MM 1 – “Different market, mate, different market. But this guitar music seems to be everywhere, and there’s a lot of it in the charts. I reckon we can make another compilation and make a quick buck or two”
MM 2 – “Can we try not to use old songs this time?”
MM 1 – “We can try… quick, get me Alan McGee on the phone again…”
Simon & Boyd carry on the analysis of the Shine compilation series, this time taking in such giants of the time as Belly, Gene and Gigolo Aunts.

Hey! The Bizkit just released their new album after a massive 10 year wait and depending on your point of view it’s either a bit of a banger or they still suck, But for just now, forget about that. Instead allow Simon and Neil to whisk you back to 1999 when Fred and the boys dropped the Nu-Metal megahit to find out if it really is all about the ‘he-said, she-said’. A buzz saw of bad attitude, metal guitar and white-boy rapping, Limp Bizkit's breakthrough album, Significant Other, is unapologetically rude and immature. But perhaps more importantly, it also rocks very, very hard.

GIRL! I wanna take you to a gay bar! But instead, let Simon and Stewart invite you to their own soirée, digging under the hood of Detroit band Electric Six’s initial long player offering.
After long being vaunted by Mr. Boyd as underrated, we get the chance to listen for ourselves. One or maybe two hit wonders? Listen to the pod to find out.

Finally we get to looking at an album that was kind of the impetus for this entire podcast, the first Shine Indie hits compilation from 1995.
The Shine series of became a touchstone for the rapidly growing indie scene of the mid to late 1990s & tell the tale of the fast rise and slow decline of Britpop, whilst offering a vast selection of hits, classics, one-offs and obscurities.
Simon and Stewart Boyd run Blur, Suede, The Happy Mondays, The Charlatans, New Order & loads more through the Personal Jukebox as they begin working through the entire Shine catalog.

Simon isn’t the biggest fan of 80s music and Gaz doesn’t particularly dig the chart music scene so what better idea for an episode than mixing both those bad boys together?
The guys head back to a time when they were both 10 years old, a place inhabited by musical giants like Prefab Sprout, Maxi Priest, Belinda Carlisle & Phil Collins. We hear all about Simon’s week off work holiday japes, get an update on Gaz’s garden project and also hear of how he was a musical theatre aficionado at a younger age. Plus they try to answer the eternal question; Just how much bass did Luke Goss actually play?
