For July's episode we discuss our favourite songs of 1983, so we've got lots of goth, synthpop, metal titans, electro, industrial, and beautiful ambient soundscapes. We've each chosen our 10 favourite songs of the year and sent them over to Colin's wife Helen, who put the playlists together and distributed them so we were each given a playlist of the 20 songs from the other two hosts, along with…
It's June (Ok, july, but the episode is slightly later than planned due to it being too bloody hot to edit last week) so it's time for another Now Playing episode! This month Colin has picked Bristolian Post-Metal/Blackgaze band Svalbard's 2020 album "When I Die, Will I Get Better?" ahead of the band's final ever show in August this year. Ian has picked Japanese post-rock legends Mono and their…
For May's episode we discuss our favourite songs of 2009, including epic drone soundscapes, haunted TV themes, Emo Chiptune, Indiepop songs about outdated heartthrobs, and deconstructed Arab Strap. We've each chosen our 10 favourite songs of the year and sent them over to Colin's wife Helen, who put the playlists together and distributed them so we were each given a playlist of the 20 songs from…
For April's episode we discuss our favourite songs of 1987, including a lot of goth, some sparkly pop, industrial, thrash metal, hip hop, indie, and even a bond theme.

This month Tracey has picked End Of The Middle by north eastern prog folk storyteller Richard Dawson, Ian has chosen And Now I'm Just Gnashing My Teeth by eclectic hardcore lunatics The Barbarians Of California, and Colin has opted for Manic Street Preachers' harrowing nihilistic post punk masterpiece The Holy Bible. You can find…
For our february episode we finally complete the 70s by discussing our favourite songs of 1974! You can expect lots of prog, much more krautrock than expected (particularly from Tracey), some funk classics, sparkly glam bangers, and most of the members of The Byrds. We've each chosen our 10 favourite songs of the year and sent them over to Colin's wife Helen, who put the playlists together and…
For our first episode of 2026 we're back in relatively recent times (although longer ago than you'd expect 2010 to be!), where we discuss our favourite songs of the year, including Electropop bangers, Blackened prog, & hour long noise jams, plus unexpected jazz appreciation, Beautiful baritone vocals, and the best mispronounciation of a member of Sigur Rós I've ever heard... We've each chosen our…
How the hell is it already the end of 2025? it seems to have only lasted a few weeks but somehow yet again there has been almost too much brilliant music to keep track of. Colin, Tracey, & Ian have somehow managed to narrow all of this down to 10 songs each and we present to you, dear listener, our longest episode yet as we discuss them at great length, taking in epic Russian drone, joyous indie…
This month we travel back to a banger of a year for our favourite songs of 1992, including proto-post rock, hiphop classics, industrial metal, and enough shoegaze to open a branch of Specsavers opposite a branch of Foot Locker. We've each chosen our 10 favourite songs of the year and sent them over to Colin's wife Helen, who put the playlists together and distributed them so we were each given a…
This month we're in the slightly more recent past as we tackle 2015 which was only 18 months before the podcast began. (although is allegedly a decade ago despite feeling like last week). There's ethereal pop, modern classical piano epics, unsettling hiphop and an interesting new conspiracy theory about the nation of Iceland. We've each chosen our 10 favourite songs of the year and sent them over…
