We're back. It's only taken us a month to get our shit together but there you go! Joe & Dave start the new year by looking back at the old year. They chat about their top 3 gigs of 2024 and their top 3 albums of 2024. Even though it's already February and 2025 has been with us for 6 weeks it's always nice to be a little bit nostalgic. Give it a listen and hear two old codgers try and remember the names of things, places and people all wrapped up in the guise of a music review show.

Tis the season to be jolly and for Dave to try and shake off his Grinch-ness by bringing a festive album to the party. What will Joe's take be on Dave's offering to the Christmas table, will it be a gold, frankincense or myrrh kind of podcast. Tune in to find out.

After a lengthy hiatus we're back and it's Joe's choice of album and a band that both the boys love, Sparks! The album that is on the turntable is, technically, the brothers Mael's third album but their first big hitter, the first to be recorded in the UK, and the one with their first big hits on it. Yes, in this episode Joe & Dave discuss the legendary album, Kimono My House. This is a podcast that encourges you to pop the album on, listen to the whole thing and then come back and listen to a pair of gob shites discuss what they think of it.

In this episode Dave brings a hint of the Copacabana to the proceedings by plonking the first album by Bosa Nova (Portugese for New Wave) legend Astrud Gilberto on the turn table. Will Joe embrace the syncopated rhythm and lush instrumentation (AI's description) or will he drop his Pina Colada and run for the Cristo Redentor up in the hills. Tune in to find out.

Joe's turn to bring an LP for Dave to listen to and it's one they both know well, the classic Ritual de lo Habitual by Jane's Addiction. Give it a listen and then join the chaps as they discuss the album and see what they thought of it.

In this episode Dave bring's the album Sound on Sound by Bill Nelson's Red Noise for Joe to listen to. This new wave hidden gem by ex Be Bop Deluxe front man Bill Nelson give's the chaps something to chat about this week.

In this opening episode Joe brings the album Swirling Violets by Conchúr White for Dave to listen to.
