Music Is None Of Our Business

To compliment our romp through a selection of sad songs last time, in this episode we're happy, happy, happy chatting about the songs that make us feel happy! So have a listen, and feel happy and gay!!

It's our saddest songs. No tears, but plenty of bumbling around, forgetting what we were talking about, disagreements about whether disco songs can be sad. You know, the usual.

We revisit 1985, well someone had to. Shenanigans galore, some goth, some feedback, some panpipes. Huh? Panpipes? Bloody panpipes? Are we mad? Quite possibly.

The hosts dive into nostalgic 70's pop hits from their childhoods, reminiscing about memorable radio moments and Top of the Pops. They explore the backstory of Terry Jacks’ 'Seasons in the Sun' and the cinematic escapism in Bowie's 'Life on Mars.' The conversation takes fun detours to discuss David Essex's unique sound, Sparks' theatrical flair, and Thin Lizzy’s emotional depth. They reflect on the evolution of music discovery, the charm of vinyl singles, and the eclectic vibe of the 70s music scene. A delightful trip down memory lane!

We go through our Top 10s of 2025, with detours into overpriced records and merch, a rambling explanation of Hauntology, rating Jake's jokes out of 10 and the usual old rubbish.

We discuss some amazing gigs we've been to as well as moaning about the distress of having to change trains at our age, falling over as opposed to having a fall, time travel via extreme volume and all of the usual shenanigans.

We each pick 5 songs that we really, really like. That's a nice simple one. We also cover Jive Bunny, band names with swear words in them and whether it's appropriate to use said swear words, while obviously using them, rubbish remixes and lots more pointless old rubbish.

We pick some of our favourite male voices. We also discuss singing with an accent, gravelly voices, the role of wankiness in Prog rock, along with the usual sophisticated humour and discourse you've come to expect.

We compile some of our favourite cover versions. There are also obscure Kids TV references, saving the world from alien invasion via the medium of bad karaoke, plus the usual going off on tangents, bad jokes, amnesia and general lack of professionalism.

We reminisce about 1997. Dave almost finishes a sentence, Jake is as erudite as ever. There are Marianne Faithfull cards making a racket, forgotten gigs, at least one reasonably funny joke, an astounding amount of Instagram views and all the usual mishaps.
