Kids today have endless cartoons on demand. Back in *our* day? Three channels, one hour of kids’ TV, and you *liked* it. Were the shows actually worse, or do we just tell ourselves that?

Songwriting hack: Write birthday songs with *every* name in the dictionary. Instant royalties. Also, Roger Waters solo albums—just Pink Floyd without anyone to tell him no. Fair review?

Pre-order an album, wait a year, and instead of the record, you get… a mystery CD with a photo of a random orange tabby cat on the cover. Thanks, Victory Records. Ever had a band pull something this weird on their fans?

Cap Down: a band so hyped in the UK punk scene that just *mentioning* them made people weak at the knees. Saw them at Reading—couldn’t get within 100 yards of the tent. Against Me! played the same stage right after… to an empty tent. Festival justice is weird.

Lineup changes can wreck a band—or push them somewhere new. Against Me! lost two key members, and Andrew Seward wanted back in, but COVID had other plans. Ever seen a band survive a major shake-up and come out stronger?

Shouted out *The Killerest Expression* on the podcast, and now I’m getting emails from the band—which is way nicer than just being called a t**t online (though I enjoy that too, keep it coming). Ever had a band randomly get in touch after you mentioned them?

"Make England Great Again"—a small bunch of f**kwits turn up, and an even bigger crowd turns up just to tell them to p**s off. Classic. Also, someone called Corbyn “that crazy guy” to me the other day. Big mistake. Ever had to school someone on election facts?

Jeremy Corbyn lost *millions* of votes from 2017 to 2019—yet still pulled more than Keir Starmer. What does that say about UK politics? Maybe a strong left actually keeps the centre in check? Discuss.

Living with mates = endless pranks. My finest? Dumping red food colouring in the toilet cistern so my half-asleep housemate thought he was dying every morning. What’s the best (or worst) prank you’ve ever pulled?

Kids love sweets that turn their tongues weird colours. But why grow out of that? Frankly, adulthood could use more unnecessary blue tongues. What’s the best (or worst) colour-changing snack?

Last album? 12 years ago. Still touring, but no new music—why? Victory Records. A label so notorious for legal battles, it’s almost impressive. Ever had a favorite band held hostage by their record deal?

Some albums take *forever* to make—looking at you, *Chinese Democracy.* Thought about picking *Abbey Road* or *Let It Be,* but The Beatles legally haunt anyone who dares use their music. Also, trying not to make *Stone Roses* my entire personality. What’s the most ridiculously long-awaited album *actually* worth the wait?

Being in a ska band is like being a teacher—you age, but the kids stay the same. Also, Streetlight Manifesto: perfect band name, killer horns, but why can’t I fully get into them? Ever had a band you *should* love but just… don’t?

Some albums just **needed an editor.** This week’s theme: *Should Have Been an EP, Not an Album.* Also, we dodged roasting our own old bands… this time. What album dragged on way longer than it should?

Each time we hear Orville Peck, he sounds **less country than before**—especially now with Kylie Minogue in the mix. Not a bad thing, just… unexpected. What’s an artist who completely drifted from their original sound?

“Sam, wake up—you’ve wet yourself.” Strong start to a podcast. Also, discussing Sun O))) and whether *Big Church* actually **goes anywhere interesting** (spoiler: maybe not). What’s a band that’s amazing live but dull on record?
