S1 E10 • Trainspotting (1996)
“Yes! You fuckin’ DANCER!”
For the final episode of Season 1, Dave and Tom dive headlong into the toilet bowl, to discuss the sonic chaos of Trainspotting.
It's a collection of tracks where Britpop, techno, and existential dread collide in a haze of ‘90s brilliance. Highlights include tunes that made Iggy Pop cool (again), Blur the kings of ennui, and Underworld the sound of your worst/best night out.
Expect the usual Witty Banter™ and a deep dive into why ‘Lust for Life’ feels like a caffeinated sprint through bad decisions.
Among the very high-brow discussion, find out why Children in Need (R.I.P Sir Terry Wogan) and Heather Small of M-People played such a massive part in bringing the songs into Dave and Tom's lives. Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love a surprise!?
