Music Is None Of Our Business
Dave High
We are Dave and Jake, two 60 year old music fans, and we take on a different theme per episode and pick five relevant songs each. We cover music from the 60's to now, and more or less any genre you can think of. From Punk to Pop, Reggae to Northern Soul, Drum N Bass to Ambient, if it's out there, we'll listen to it. Our best review ever said: "I love this podcast. My new favourite. Never heard Throbbing Gristle and Taylor Swift discussed in any depth in the same decade - let alone in the same conversation."

Episode Ten - Singles Club
After the 2 hour compilation marathon, an hour long sprint through a few brilliant singles. Allegedly. We still managed to go over an hour, even with only five picks each.

Episode Nine - The Compilation Marathon
Yikes, a 2 hour + episode. Sorry about that. I had a list of this episodes highlights, but I appear to have mislaid it. However we do discuss the joys of a good compilation LP. A collection of songs you love all in one place, or a chance to broaden your musical horizons or a combination of both. Answers on a postcard to.......

Episode Eight - We Are The Punks! Part Two
More punky goodness. Dave gets distracted and forgets stuff, Jake ruins everything by picking loads of bands that Dave had picked as well, then Dave gets distracted and forgets stuff again. All in all, the usual amateurish fabulousness you've all come to know and love.

Episode Seven - We Are The Punks! Part One
Part one of our punk rock special, covering our favourite bands from 1976 - 82. Dave is predictable, Jake is not quite so predictable. Expect the usual childish humour, lots of "you know" from Dave, and worrying examples of goldfish memory syndrome.

Episode Six - It's All About Parameters
Girls! Girls! Girls! Our favourite contemporary female musicians are revealed. Plus the usual waffling on, umming and aahing, half finished sentences, going off on tangents, and that's just Dave's contribution.

Episode Five - Thanks For The Memories
Another massive one. We revel in nostalgia, snogging, skin peeling off, paper rounds, dangerous driving and Dave manages the greatest music joke ever.

Supplement 1: Keith's Records
We get dewy eyed over the greatest record shop of all time - Keith's Records.

Episode Four - Not Guilty Your Honour
It's a marathon! Dave babbles, Jake uses proper sentences as we discuss our parents music taste (or lack of), livers flying out of orifices, misogynist social media scum and disco.

Episode 3 - It's Totally Rad, Dude!
As always Jake has taken the time to prepare a script whilst Dave chooses the ADHD waffling technique, as we both reveal our top 10 LPs of the year so far.
