Description

We are Dave and Jake, two 60 year old music fans, and we take on a different theme per episode and pick five relevant songs each. We cover music from the 60's to now, and more or less any genre you can think of. From Punk to Pop, Reggae to Northern Soul, Drum N Bass to Ambient, if it's out there, we'll listen to it. Our best review ever said: "I love this podcast. My new favourite. Never heard Throbbing Gristle and Taylor Swift discussed in any depth in the same decade - let alone in the same conversation."

Episode Forty Six - Doot Do Do Do Doot

2026/10/14

Our favourites from 1978. Also school reunions, holiday karaoke, dads and more nonsensical ranting.

Episode Forty Five - The Object Of Power Is Power

2026/10/01

Yes, that's right, in this episode, we cover 1984 without a single reference to Orwell. Apart from in the title. Lots of other cool stuff though, so don't fret.

Episode Forty Four - At First I Was Afraid

2026/09/21

This week, we look back on 1983. The first ever professional sounding introduction we've ever done, ghosts, black masses, bagpipes and some other old rubbish.

Episode Forty Three - What Did We Do In '82?

2026/09/11

It just gets harder and harder to think of decent titles. Our favourite LPs from 1982, when we were still young whippersnappers.

Episode Forty Two - 2010 A Spaced Oddity

2026/08/28

We went off on a tangent and did 2010 rather than 1982. I'm sure we had a good reason but I've no idea what it was. Turns out 2010 was a pretty good year for music! Who knew?

Episode Forty One - We Had Fun In '81

2026/08/17

This week 1981, when we were 15 and didn't have bad backs.

Episode Forty - 46 Years Later

2026/08/03

We travel back to 1980, when we were 15, young and stupid. There were only 3 TV channels, the telephone had a dial, and we'd never seen a vol-au-vent. And Thatcher had just started ruining the UK.

Episode Thirty Nine - Not A Day Goes By

2026/07/24

Songs relating to time. Jake is incredibly lazy, and other than one song with weeks in the title, just picks songs that mention time. Dave is a lot more imaginative. This one takes a while to get going according to Jake, but it does get funnier. Well, a bit.

Episode Thirty Eight - I Travel

2026/07/12

Songs with very loose connections to travel. I'm trying to remember what else we talked about, but it's about a million degrees and I'm melting, but you can guarantee we laughed, guffawed and most likely chortled a lot.

Episode Thirty Seven - Lovers Of Covers

2026/06/30

This episode is a sequel to the previous covers episode. With more covers, obvs. Plus existential angst, stabbings, Dolly Parton sounding like Johnny Cash, and more bad jokes.

Episode Thirty Six - Weathering Heights

2026/06/19

Songs with weather related titles this time, along with missing cats, hideously expensive records, ebay flipper scum, the usual existential crises and jokes. Lots of jokes.

Episode Thirty Five - W.O.R.K. (N.O. Nah No! No! My Daddy Don't)

2026/06/08

Songs with occupations in the title, plus Dr Who trivia, a history of Top Of The Pops dancers, Bob Marley's donuts, more tuneless singing and lots of waffle.

Episode Thirty Four - The Female Of The Species

2026/05/28

This episode has songs about girls names, we discuss Jakes technical knowledge of music, and my lack of it, accidental metal, droney shit pumps, and lots of other stuff.

Episode Thirty Three - I Know What Boys Want

2026/05/18

We pick a load of songs with boys names in the titles. Jake shames me for getting the episode no. wrong again, by leaving the whole conversation intact. Lots of waffle, some history, brain farts. The usual.

Episode Thirty Two - That's Our Name, Don't Wear It Out

2026/05/08

Lots of cool eponymous LPs, plus taglines, more ambient aromas, what's the point of collecting, and street cred, or lack of it.
