Episode 32 – #19 – All Anthemic Bangers

Welcome to Fifty by Two, a podcast about music where two friends with very different tastes count down their top fifty albums.

The Match Klaxon gets a deceptive outing in this episode, and – thanks to some recording problems – one of us gets the opportunity to have a short unimpeded rant.

Episode 31 – #20 – A Consequence of Something that Big

Welcome to Fifty by Two, a podcast about music where two friends with very different tastes count down their top fifty albums.

Most people probably don’t have a favourite canal, but one of us talks about ours in this episode. We also break into the Top 20, and revisit an old friend. There’s a new theme as well.

Episode 30.5 – Cover Versions Special – The Greatest Writer in the World

Welcome to Fifty by Two, a podcast about music where two friends with very different tastes count down their top fifty albums.

A break from the countdown for another special: we pick three cover versions each and make each other listen to them, for your entertainment. Sometimes we do things just to wind each other up, for your entertainment. We also talk a surprising amount about Strictly Come Dancing, and the 2024 Ballon D’Or nominees. There is literally something for everybody.

Episode 30 – #21 – The Biggest Criminal

Welcome to Fifty by Two, a podcast about music where two friends with very different tastes count down their top fifty albums.

We’re back after a short summer break to delve into our next two albums: one that dabbles with occult practices, and one that very much doesn’t. If your favourite band was a pizza, what toppings would it have?

Glen paid a visit to a podcast landmark this weekend, and was disappointed to find that it's now just a Burger King.

We discussed Sheffield's Coles' Corner back in Episode 16, 'A Girl Named Keith.' https://50by2.net/2024/01/26/episode-16-35-a-girl-named-keith/

**NO EPISODE THIS WEEK**

With holidays and such, we've not been able to turn the latest episode around for the scheduled release date of Friday August 23rd, so we're having a short summer break. We'll resume with episodes every two weeks from Friday September 6th!

Episode 29 – #22 – We’ve Got a Code Two

Welcome to Fifty by Two, a podcast about music where two friends with very different tastes count down their top fifty albums.

We talk a little about wrestling, and a lot about two very different bands, both fronted by strong personalities.

**NOTICE FOR NEXT EPISODE**

Due to some holidays and difficulties scheduling our last recording, the next episode won't be released on Friday August 9th as planned: it's nearly ready (is exporting as this is typed!), but the rest of the work to get it to you won't happen in time. Look out for it late on Friday or during the day on Saturday instead.

Episode 28 – #23 – Unless Michael Jackson Comes back from the Dead

Welcome to Fifty by Two, a podcast about music where two friends with very different tastes count down their top fifty albums.

We accidentally put together something genre-specific. Glen makes a bold claim about his technical ability, as James comes to his niche late in life.

Episode 27 – #24 – Make it Look Like the Moon

Welcome to Fifty by Two, a podcast about music where two friends with very different tastes count down their top fifty albums.

James makes a recovery from illness, and we talk about this year’s disappointing Glastonbury line-up, the election exit poll, and our 24th favourite albums.

Note: we had some problems with James’ recording and also our call connection for this one, so some of the discussion is slightly disjointed.

Episode 26 – #25 – Crude Oil Stock Prices

Welcome to Fifty by Two, a podcast about music where two friends with very different tastes count down their top fifty albums.

Sometimes we quite like each others albums. Sometimes one likes the other’s, but not the other way. And sometimes we absolutely hate what we’ve made each other listen to. Which one do you think we have this time? Also features some excellent roundabout chat, and some inaccurate memories of the 1990 World Cup.
