The follow up to the gigantic Kick. INXS set themselves an almost impossible job to follow up such a behemoth, but they sat down, jammed out a few chords, wrote down a few words, then wandered into a brand new studio to sing and play them into microphones and mixing desk to see what happened. But will they be able to match their smash hit? Will Kev be on board with a ballad closing out Side A? And why in the green shit is Corey covered in vodka with swiffered feet?
The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and disappear.
Songs covered in this episode: "Suicide Blonde", "Disappear", "The Stairs", "Faith in Each Other", "By My Side"

You can still beatbox in Paraguay. You can still cut a rug in Côte d'Ivoire, you can still shake your money maker in Vanuatu, and apparently, you can still rock in America. Even though I'm pretty sure that no-one was stopping anyone doing that! We're joined by our good pal Tom Armbruster as we break down his kofi pick; Night Ranger's 1983 sophomore effort, Midnight Madness. But will Tom regret giving Kev another 80s rock band? Will Corey explain his weird hobbies, and what in the name of god will Kev make of all that hoodala?
The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and let him run.

Pudding, chips, and peas is a staple meal of any young lad growing up in Wigan in the 70s and 80s. Vegemite as an abomination until Nuggan and should be outlawed. These are not completely random musings but do have something to do with this week's episode. But will Corey and Kev enjoy a song about a sex party (apparently), will the Weyburn Godzilla be reigned back in during this week's game, and will the boys head off on the biggest tangent to date?
The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and mystify me.
Songs covered in this episode: "Wild Life", "Never Tear Us Apart", "Mystify", "Kick", "Calling All Nations", "Tiny Daggers"

Corey's tired from grad, Kev's tired from work, and the episode drops in thirty minutes. Will Michael and the boys be able to pep up two middle aged fucks up enough to actually get this thing out? Will anyone know who The Loved Ones are? And will someone play that goddamn trumpet!!!
The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and recreate or detonate...
Songs covered in this episode: "Guns in the Sky", "New Sensation", "Devil Inside", "Need You Tonight", "Mediate", "The Loved One"

Today we spin up Side B of Plastic Lett.... wait, that's not right... [checks notes...] Side B of Listen Like Thieves. It's Corey's second recording of the night with Kev, so will the friendship last? Will sausages finally be put back on the Weyburn International House of Waffle (that's singular not plural and it refers to the practice of jabbering on endlessly), will George Lucas stop fucking around with edits to Episode IV, and will Corey enjoy an INXS instrumental?

Songs covered in this episode: "Biting Bullets", "This Time", "Three Sisters", "Same Direction", "One x One", "Red Red Sun"

AND WE'RE OFF! We fought through tech issues, a plague of locusts, two deaths, and a partial drowning to bring you this week's episode so you'd damn well better appreciate it! (Only one of those things is true...)
Corey makes Kev listen to more warbling from the wablecunt in chief, Joe Elliott and Kev's game for the season is right up Corey's alley. But will the goliath be outfoxed by the David? Will Michael and the boys start off Season Nine on the front foot? And will the person who left the black Toyota 4Runner blocking the door to the kitchen please move it?
The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and listen like thieves.
Songs covered in this episode; "What You Need", "Listen Like Thieves", "Kiss the Dirt (Falling Down the Mountain)", "Shine Like It Does", "Good + Bad Times"

We're heading down under folks, where the beer is cold, the sun is hotter and the front men are even hotter! There's another freewheeling conversation between Corey and Kev; Corey is a good way through the INXS biography and Kev accidentally downloaded a TV biopic that he thought was a documentary - so he's even less informed than usual! Corey hits Kev with a mini-game and we spin the Kofi wheel to find out what the next user submission will be. But will any of the albums this season be a contender for a top ten spot? Will there be any Def Leppard news? And just how do they get those little ships in the bottles?

We're heading back to the Prince of Darkness courtesy of our pal Ruddy Rutherford. This one's an eclectic mix of Clapton, Lennon, and Arthur Brown? What?! You've never heard of Arthur Brown??? For shame! We end up listening to Green Day and there's altogether too much Def Leppard for Kev's liking. But will Corey be entertained by 21st Century Schizoid Man and will Kev be on board with a cover of one of his very favourite Lennon compositions?
The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and have some sympathy (and some taste)
Also, go check out Ruddy's amazing photography at his website: Fit Light Photography
Songs covered in this episode; "Rocky Mountain Way", "In My Life", "Mississippi Queen", "Woman", "21st Century Schizoid Man", "All the Young Dudes", "For What It's Worth", "Good Times", "Sunshine of Your Love", "Fire", "Working Class Hero", "Sympathy for the Devil"

One last episode talking about Blondie. We also talk about Monty Python more than you expect. We find out about Scott Haskin's role in on the Airwolf TV show and Corey and Kev go head to head in the trivia round in a slightly different format. It all takes rather too long and Corey is very tired by the end of it, but, we do discover which artist we'll be covering in Season 9! But who will it be? Will it be Peter Gabriel era Genesis? Will it be Lars Ulrich's unreleased solo jazz work? Will it even rock and/or roll?

Would ya look at that! We've wrapped up the last album side of Season Eight and we're ready to bring the notable nudist back in to tell us where we go things wrong, what is latest sexual fantasies about Debbie Gibson involve (spoiler alert, if you're lactose intolerant, it's gonna get messy!) But, crucially, is Blondie's fourth album going to finish as strongly as Parallel Lines did? Is Kev gonna like a bunch of New York punks trying play Reggie, and is Corey's insomnia clouding his judgement vis-à-vis lullabies?
The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and stay pretty!
Songs covered in this episode; "Die Young Stay Pretty", "Slow Motion", "Atomic", "Sound-A-Sleep", "Victor", "Living in the Real World"

Welcome to the first ever episode of our new podcast, "Eats and Beats"! where we break down the menu of one of our favourite restaurants every week, awarding 10 points for selection, 10 points for quality and 5 points for ambiance! Well, not really, but that's the bullshit I came up with for the intro and it's what you're getting for episode notes. We have the first skipper for Kev, a great conversation about a Canadian icon, and Corey goes off piste with his choices in this week's game. But, will it matter, given Corey has already won? Will Kev dig heavy metal funk and will Corey reveal the reasons behind his surreptitious Shakespeare deposits?
The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and deliver the big money deal!
Songs covered in this episode; "Dreaming", "The Hardest Part", "Union City Blue", "Shayla", "Eat to the Beat", "Accidents Never Happen"

Ummmm, errrr...... what? Oh, it's you lot! What do you want from me? Do you know how many damn podcasts I have to write notes for? I gotta come up with something witty or insightful or, I dunno, accurate every time? We're wrapping up Parallel Lines today and last week we promised you that Side B is stronger than Side A, so will we be true to our word? Will Corey reveal his reasons for ironing his gitch? And will Kev's Hail Mary play get him back into this season's game?
The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and just go away!
(And fuck Mõtlèy Cȓüê!)
Songs covered in this episode; "11:59", "Will Anything Happen?", "Sunday Girl", "Heart of Glass", "I'm Gonna Love You Too (Buddy Holly cover)", "Just Go Away".

One Way or Another, we're gonna git ya! We're heading back to New York after a brief excursion to Pasadena last week! We have a new producer, a new bass player, and a new sound overall. So will Blondie come out of the blocks all guns blazing? Will producer Mike Chapman be able to reign in the enigmatic Clem Burke, and will the album suffer from any rhythmic restraint? And will we ever find out what the fuck neo-nebular means?
The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and radiate...
Songs covered in this episode; "Hanging on the Telephone"", "One Way or Another", "Picture This", "Fade Away and Radiate", "Pretty Baby", "I Know but I Don't Know"

Well, well, well! We're crossing the podcast streams here and talking about an album that Corey has covered extensively on one of his other podcasts, And The Podcast Will Rock! Kev started listening to Van Halen when Sammy took over and has a pseudo-legal history with Dave! We're also joined, for the first time, by our KoFi supporter, Michael Pastore, who gave us this album to talk about. But will Corey put aside his flagrant bias for Pasadena's party boys? Will Kev hold a grudge against the man he argued against in Rock Court, and what in gods' names is a rhythm pig?
The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and leave this house of pain!
Songs covered in this episode: "1984", "Jump", "Panama", "Top Jimmy", "Drop Dead Legs", "Hot for Teacher", "I'll Wait", "Girl Gone Bad", "House of Pain"

We're already at the half way stage in this season's catalogue? How can that be? "When are you pair of idiots going to do a full catalogue again" we hear you cry? To that we say "fuck off and mind your own business!" We talk about movies, Dan Akroyd makes an appearance, and Kev tries to reign Corey back in during this season's game. But will he bamboozle the Weyburn Oracle, will Plastic Letters beat the debut's score, and what exactly did Corey find under the ice up in Northern Saskatchewan....?

Songs covered in this episode; "I Didn't Have the Nerve to Say No", "Love at the Pier", "No Imagination", "Kidnapper", "Detroit 442", "Cautious Lip"

Seven songs? SEVEN SONGS???? What kind of madness is this? Also, it's seven songs on a Blondie album, only one of which is written by Debbie Harry! What the hell are these guys (and gal) tryna' pull here? There are a lot of ideas being thrown at us here! We're venturing to the Bermuda triangle, we're speaking in French, and we're worried about snipers. But will Kev and Corey get to the bottom of what the heck "I'm on E" means? Will the supernatural horseshit in the lyrics of Gary Valentine's final contribution to the band irritate Kev, and will Corey remember his daring squirrel rescue?
The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and don't regret your loan!
Songs covered in this episode; "Fan Mail", "Denis", "Bermuda Triangle Blues (Flight 45)", "Youth Nabbed as Sniper", "Contact in Red Square", "(I'm Always Touched by Your) Presence, Dear", "I'm on E"

Kev and Corey discover their favourite song on the album is the same track, there's no Def Leppard news, which makes Kev very happy, and Corey pontificates on the value of percussive restraint. But, will our dynamic duo love a song about alient ants (free range, not farmed), will Corey take advantage of Kev's appalling performance in the season's game last week, and who the fuck is Ronnie Toast and what does he have to do with Blondie?

Six songs to kick off Side A from Blondie's debut. We discover that X Offender isn't about Trump and Epstein, but rather is a cautionary tale about falling in love (or lust) with your local copper! There's drum fills aplenty, a few mix issues, and we talk a fair bit about Debbie Harry's voice. But, will new wave surf rock tickle Corey's pickle? Will Kev had any damn clue what West Side Story is? And what in god's name does anti-dandruff shampoo have to do with this week's episode?
The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and wear your best suit.
Songs covered in this episode; "X Offender", "Little Girl Lies", "In the Flesh", "Look Good in Blue", "In the Sun", "A Shark in Jets Clothing"

Iggy Pop recalls inviting Blondie to tour with him at a time when David Bowie was playing keyboards in his backing band. "Debbie was an American ponytail girl as seen through the lens of Roger Vadim; Barbarella on speed, or something like that."
With Barbella on speed and Chris Stein right behind her, Blondie had all the ingredients to take on the world. But would internal friction pull the band apart? Would anyone take a blonde bombshell seriously as a frontwoman in a rock n roll band, and would Mike Chapman be able to polish these rough diamonds enough to see them dazzle the world?

By the mid-1980s, apartheid-era South Africa was subject to a global cultural boycott, strongly advocated by the African National Congress (ANC) and supported by the United Nations. Musicians were explicitly asked not to perform, record, or collaborate in South Africa, regardless of intent. In 1984–85, Paul Simon traveled to South Africa to record with Black South African musicians, including members of Ladysmith Black Mambazo. He did not seek ANC approval beforehand and broke the cultural boycott in the process. But was it worth it? Did Simon accomplish anything creatively or culturally worth his bold contravention of the global attitude toward the South African regime?

Songs covered in this episode: "The Boy in the Bubble", "Graceland", "I Know What I Know", "Gumboots", "Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes", "You Can Call Me Al", "Under African Skies", "Homeless", "Crazy Love, Vol. II", "That Was Your Mother", "All Around the World or the Myth of Fingerprints"
