A Disc-Horse On Contemporary Society

More musical memories of the 1990s record-o-sphere. Brothers Giles and Steve plough into the tape mountain once again and pull out three choice recordings from their past. This week the songs prompt a rambling conversation on a range of themes, including:

• Intense young men
• Digging The B-52s
• A flame-haired barbarian
• The robot invasion of a West Midlands market town
• Dissociation through video game addiction
• Learning about being in a band with the BBC

The Tape: Volume 1

In this very special episode of the podcast Steve and Giles take a look back on the tracks chosen in the past 17 episodes to create a purely theoretical (for the moment) "Best of…" compilation tape! 

Hear the JD creative process in action as they formulate the ultimate track sequence and consider some alternative takes. There's laughter and tears along the way as the brothers discuss musical near-misses and regrettable artistic choices as well as the odd thing that went quite well.

Warning: this episode may contain hubris.
