In your lifetime, there are some albums that you simply must listen to.
We had heard the music of the following two artists, but we had never before listened to these albums in full:
Young Gifted and Black by Aretha Franklin
and
Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Sometimes this kind of musical experience will simply be an education in music history, at other times it will be like discovering a parcel of pure joy. Sometimes it is a bit in between.
Which of these did we experience when listening to Franklin and Fleetwood?
Get in contact with Leon and Adrian, tell us what you thought of the episode:

It is staggering how many songs on streaming services do not have even one listen.
Yep. No one has ever listened to them, even the person uploading them apparently!
Ade and Leon visit Forgotify.com, a site that serves up tracks on Spotify that have never been listened to.
The challenge was to listen to the first ten songs that were presented and report back.
What do you imagine the tracks were like?
Basement singer songwriters?
Bedroom EDM?
Bizarre metal?
The truth will surprise you.
Enjoy fascinating chat on the state of streaming services, technology and the music industry in general.

There is nothing quite like seeing live music. Right around the same time Leon and Adrian saw two shows in different Australian cities that may have been almost the polar opposite.
One was in the Sydney Opera House, the other was in a Brisbane pub venue. One was a stand alone band, the other was 4 bands touring under the name, "Cellophane Honeymoon". One experience was of a tightly controlled musical curation, the other was a menagerie of noisy guitar.
*please note that due to the name of a band discussed, there are several expletive words used

Some of the greatest bands never actually existed.
Sometimes bands exist to service something fictional, be it in a film, book or tv show.
This episode features what we think are the greatest fictitious bands to ever exist. Four from Adrian, four from Leon with a special bonus....
... As a special treat, the final two bands come from the following challenge:
**Invent a fictitious band each and present them for your listening pleasure**
Can you think of any bands we missed that should have been on the list? Crucial Taunt or The Jolly Green Giants? Maybe the Be Sharps?

Adrian and Leon share an album with each other. Adrian loves the album he shared with Leon and the same goes for the album Leon shared with Adrian.
However, the person sharing the album has carefully chosen an album that the other will hate. The exercise is to choose an album that will cause extreme irritation and displeasure by listening to it.
The joy of this chat is hearing the different ways that each person hears the same album.
Adrian has recommended Aja by Steely Dan and Leon recommended Chance Meeting on a Dissecting Table of a Sewing Machine and an Umbrella by Nurse with Wound.

In 1977 NASA launched two Voyager spacecraft.
Each craft contained a special Golden Record.
Each record was a time capsule, containing sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth, and were intended for any intelligent extraterrestrial life form who may find them.
They also include 90 minutes of music.
Our challenge in this episode?
Imagine being tasked with selecting 10 tracks to include on the next NASA space probe. Specifically, rock music.What tracks would you choose?

There is a great joy in sharing a band or artist with a good friend. Particularly when that friend is new to the sounds on offer.
Adrian shares Parliament's funkadelic masterpiece, Mothership Connection and Leon shares the dirty, experimental Independent Worm Saloon by Butthole Surfers.
The chat combines years of listening with fresh ears and the results are excellent.

Welcome to Season 5 of Super Sonic Chat!
We're back for more musings and meanderings across music fandom.
We kick off with an episode about the art of the parody song.
As kids we loved parody songs.
As teenagers we loved parody songs.
As middle aged men we still love parody songs!
I think we all know who the King of parody songs is right? So let's chat about him! The one and only Weird Al Yankovic.
What makes a great parody song?
Who are the contenders for Weird Al's title?
Leon shares the genesis of his, and probably many peoples, first love for the parody song.
Ade thinks he's found the next wave of parody artists and the challenge is to work out if they themselves know?!

One of the things that started this whole podcast is the sheer joy of sharing musical discoveries.
Adrian and Leon share 10 songs each that they have discovered over the last 6 months.
That's 20 songs (and some cheeky honourable mentions) that have brought joy to the ears and may bring you joy too.
Tell us what music you have discovered this year on our socials:

Think of those places you visit that are cool.
Do you remember what music they were playing last time you were there?
We take on a physical challenge to see what the music gods will serve up to us.
The challenge: contact 5 cool places and find out what music they are playing at that moment.
The results were surprising, refreshing and a whole bunch of fun.
Listen to find out what new favourites we discovered and to see which places get to choose their own music and which ones are subjected to management's choice.

Today Adrian and Leon pay penance.
They admit that they have never listened to the albums, Last Splash by The Breeders and Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen in their entirety. Have they listened to songs from those albums? Of course, but to know an artist, you have to hear an album from start to finish.
What did they think? What was the verdict of these universally acclaimed albums? Listen to find out.

"Dear Adrian and Leon,
Help me.
My Father-in-law is a jazz nut.
I don't hate jazz but would describe myself as jazz ignorant.
I need some helpful insights and interesting talking points about jazz so I can relate to my father-in-law and not look like an ignorant jazz hater.
What have you got for me?"
Dear listener,
Don't worry, we've got you covered.
In this episode we've provided you with 10 interesting jazz talking points, all illustrated with key jazz songs and highlighting key jazz legends.
You've got this!
Good luck.

Do you ever look at someone and just know they are a fan of a certain band?
Have you ever met someone and just know they'd be into a certain artist?
This chat is about the weight of expectation.
Adrian kept having a certain band recommended to him by many people, including Leon.
'Oh you'd love them!' many people would say. 'I can't believe you've never listened to them before!'
Is Adrian the kind of person that looks like he'd love The National?
Is Leon the kind of person that looks like he'd love Yeah Yeah Yeahs?
The weight of expectation can change the way we experience music and this episode is a perfect example.

One of life's greatest pleasures is discussing music with a mate and that is what we do here on this show.
And whether we are recording or not, we ask each other, "What have you been listening to lately?"
We sum up the last 6 month's new discoveries; whether they are new to the world, or just new to us, we offer each other a 5 course meal on what we have been digesting, musically so far this year.
Dear listener, tell us what you have discovered lately here:

Where do you start with that classic or cult band that you seem to have avoided over the years?
It's a big ask to dive in to a full album or a lengthy playlist.
It's dangerous to ask a superfan to give you a simple overview.
In this episode we do the heavy lifting for you on an introduction to perhaps the most influential alternative rock band of the 90s: Faith No More.
Listen in real time as we curate the perfect 5 song set to whet your Faith No More whistle.
These are not our favourite Faith No More songs.
These are not be the best Faith No More songs.
These are the five songs that best represent all that Faith No More encompass to a new listener.
If we've done our job correctly, you'll have a Faith No More experience and be left with a curiosity to hear more.

How does a musician take unrestrained, red hot rage and contain it within a carefully composed set of sounds?
Adrian and Leon explore a range of musical styles and approaches that capture this feeling through a range of lyrical and sonic tactics.
Language warning: Lyrics of rage often contain expletives of a very colourful nature.

There’s a story about Ernsest Hemmingway, famous author, taking a bet that he couldnt write a story in 6 words.
Needless to say, when he read out six simple words, everyone paid up.
It got us thinking about the simple songs.
Not the songs loaded with lyrics.
Not those dense and lengthy songs.
But those songs that manage to say so much with so little.
If you will, what are some great ‘6 word’ type songs?
