269: TOP 5 BEST/WORST BOY BAND SONGS / BROCKHAMPTON REVIEW

Dave Hanratty and Craig Fitzpatrick apply liberal amounts of Brylcreem, don shimmering white suits and get ready for their big 'step off the stool' moment as a boy band-focused episode takes hold. Before it gets too intense, we have the new Brockhampton album, the news week in review and a passionate tribute to DMX from the man known as Mango.

ACT ONE (3:25): The news round-up takes in the passing of DMX, the horrific union of Mick Jagger and Dave Grohl, Spotify's bid to jazz up the vaccine experience, Moby's attempt at 4D chess, and an important, in-depth Kanye update.

ACT TWO (23:48): Mango of Mango x MathMan fame pays his respects to DMX.

ACT THREE (41:00): Exciting hip-hop collective Brockhampton – who are not a boy band anymore, okay? – are back with their sixth studio album and potentially their most coherent narrative yet. Is it any good though?

ACT FOUR (54:00): Top 5 Best & Worst Boy Band Songs featuring Dave's latest and perhaps ultimate shout for the worst thing anyone has ever heard ever.
