S01 E113
In this week’s episode, Andrew is joined by the enigmatic Dr. Sam to dissect the sticky, smelly world of B-sides. From Suede’s majestic castaways to Korn’s half-baked remixes, they wade knee-deep into what makes a B-side a banger or just a bad idea. Along the way, Andrew reminisces about the peculiar 80s phenomenon of white dog poo, the trauma of squishy sandals, and why Ipswich is (mercifully) less turd-laden these days.
Dr. Sam brings his sharp ear and an unsettling amount of love for freaky remixes, while Andrew stirs the pot with a few eyebrow-raising picks (Iron Maiden, we’re looking at you). Together, they traverse the highs and lows of music’s forgotten gems, with enough tangents to make a GPS give up.
Expect tales of childhood horrors, rants about CD singles, and a surprisingly deep discussion about Supergrass and the Manic Street Preachers. Oh, and a mission to prove that Nigel Farage is unfit to lead anything, let alone reform.
Grab a drink, settle in, and prepare for musical musings with a side of irreverent nonsense.
