S01 E108
This week, Andrew and Jago dive into the chaotic world of musical rivalries, from playground-level spats to outright murderous feuds. Highlights include:
- Jago’s dangerous addiction to seaside 2p machines, proving the only real winner is the arcade owner.
- The eternal bitterness of Dave Mustaine (35 million albums sold but still salty).
- Blur vs. Oasis—teen idols or commercial gladiators?
- Charles Manson: misunderstood artist or murderous twit? (Spoiler: Jago’s hero worship is… complicated).
- Brian Harvey of E17’s many adventures—from parking tickets to jacket potato chaos.
With riffs of the week by Will Haven and Jesu, a dash of Blur’s weirdness, and some surprisingly heartfelt moments (looking at you, Softplay), this episode is chaos wrapped in catchy melodies. Will Andrew and Jago choose sides in these rivalries? Spoiler: expect zero objectivity.
Like, subscribe, or just send Brian Harvey your best wishes—he might need them more.
