  • INTRODUCING: Welcome to Twin Peaks
    2026/04/08

    Welcome to Welcome to Twin Peaks: A Twin Peaks Podcast for Beginners.

    Join Adam and Steve as they put on their investigation trenchcoats, pour a hot steaming cup of coffee, and dive into the world of Twin Peaks.

    In this first episode they introduce the podcast, the season to come, and their relationship with Twin Peaks and David Lynch. They discuss their knowledge of the show, including its place in culture at the time it was released and now, the vibe of the show, and whether or not the coffee is “damn good” or “damn fine.”

    They look at the episodes to come, which Adam has seen many times before and Steve has never seen in his life!

    The second episode of this brand new podcast venture is out right now! We discuss the Pilot of Twin Peaks and begin digging into the mystery.

    Head to https://welcometotwinpeaks.buzzsprout.com and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts!

  • Arctic Monkeys B-Sides (Pt. 2)
    2026/04/06

    The Big Mates mixed bags, S Club Juniors, tracklistings, and A Selection of B-Sides by Arctic Monkeys.

    Adam, Steve, and Lucas continue their dissection of the career of Arctic Monkeys by looking at a variety of b-sides from across their career.

    They discuss the writing, rehearsal, and recording of these songs from numerous eras, exploring the composition, tone, lyrics, meaning, and context for each song in turn - all from three differing perspectives, from being deeply into music and analysis, to not caring for art or critique, and everything in between!

    Should any of these have been on albums? Should goths wear hi-vis? Don Cheadle? Find out on this episode of What Is Music?

    Our next episode is out next week, Monday April 13th!

  • The Car (Pt. 2)
    2026/03/16

    The Big Mates discuss Arrested Development, cowboys, J.W. Pepper, and The Car by Arctic Monkeys.

    Adam, Steve, and Lucas continue their exploration of the career of Arctic Monkeys and conclude their track-by-track analysis of their seventh studio album.

    They explore the composition, tone, lyrics, meaning, and context for each song in turn - all from three differing perspectives, from being deeply into music and analysis, to not caring for art or critique, and everything in between!

    They also look at the legacy of the album, where the band could possibly go from here, and how they wrapped up their most recent tour.

    What do we make of the album? Is it the end of Arctic Monkeys? What is the Benidorm lasagne vending machine? Find out on this episode of What Is Music?
