Tracks #137 - Touching The HamAt the beginning of march, Harry informed us that he was too scared to touch the ham. He'd have sleepless nights for a week if he did. Have things changed now?

Tracks #136 - Better Call SeinfeldRemember the 90s? When Seinfeld was lighting up our screens, Michael Jordan was the biggest star on the planet and we all watched on as Big Brother contestants were locked in a house and slowly went mad? Well, with The Last Dance trending on Netflix and Jerry, George and Elaine lighting up British TV screens again, it kind of feels like we're back there. The only difference this time around is that it's *we're* the ones locked inside losing our minds, and only our frankly appalled family members are watching. There's a thought for you. U...

You've got this. Until our freedom is finally secured, let's all have a nice hour and a bit chatting away.

Tracks #134 - Keeping Up With Italia 90As we slide further and further into lockdown life, the prospect of a family pub quiz and a Friday night mass Zoom gathering becomes increasingly unappealing. Why is laying on the sofa for 23 hours a day really so bad, after all? Well, because catching up with your mates is actually really nice. And it helps your head. So, this week, we decided to catch up with a couple of ours. The magnificent, resplendent, unforgettable Les Miserable and J Dangerous from Italia 90 are here once again. Catch Les on his Singles Club on Boogaloo Radio from 8...

Tracks #124 - Summer In The WinterWe'll let you into a little secret, listeners: we are not very brave. We're easily scared. Lord, we didn't sleep for a month after watching Stephen King's 'It', and Harry has form for sitting on his stairs in his pants, baseball bat in hand, prompted by nothing more than a creak downstairs. But this month, something even scarier happened. One day we woke up, in the depth of the English winter, down on the usually-blustery coast, and it was warm. Unseasonably warm. Global warmingly warm. 'Summer in the winter', some might call it. Terrifying. We've broken the w...

And somehow, against all odds, this is our first get-together of the year. It's sad, but absence makes the heart grow fonder, right? In this episode the reasons behind our long absence are revealed, the best songs of the year so far are reviewed and, most importantly, details of our new release schedule are given (spoiler: for the duration of 2019 we're going to be monthly rather than weekly 😬). Please don't hate us. We have good rea...

Maybe it's because we've been recording every day for what feels like a million years, or maybe those dastardly Tories have somehow managed to squeeze a few more working days in pre-Christmas. Who knows, but we're finally at the finishing line. Thank you so much for putting up with us so relentlessly for an entire month. For that, we all deserve a present, don't we?

Tracks Advent 2018 - Day 17 - UtopiaNot content with conquering the podcasting world, this year Tim took live music this year like some kind of depraved media mogul.

Tracks Advent 2018 - Day 15 - The Film & TV Round-UpThere comes a certain point in every day when being alive gets tiring. Being upright is a little much. You're ready to slump. Gloriously horizontal, remote in hand, eyes fixed on a screen.

You'd save up your pocket money and wait for the weekend and for your dad to finally get up off the sofa. You'd jump in the car down to *insert name of now-defunct chain store here*, barely being able to contain your excitement.

This week, ever the optimists, we've decided to focus on exactly what made it so bad. The broken promises. The gigs missed. The albums that never landed. The bands we wish blew up but didn't. And the hangovers. Oh god. The hangovers. It's all in here. It's all re-lived and, against all odds, it's not actually depressing to listen to.

Last week the fella some call Champagne Papi threw a 32nd birthday party in LA and, with the intention of making everyone feel excruciatingly old, decided to dive right into the history books for a theme. He wanted retro. He wanted classic. He went for the 00's and, in the process, proved once and for all that our youths were a long, long time ago. Luckily for us, however, we have a podcast.

It's there because it's information you, our lovely listeners, simply must have, and because it explains a mysterious absence from this week's episode. Yes, this week Tim is flying solo. Without his right-hand man he's running free, playing exactly what he wants, when he wants and attempting to stitch it all together in his own unique style. Will it be better? Will it be worse?

It also gave us Trump and Brexit and a load of gobshites with guns but, for the sake of this little description, we'll forget about all of that for now. Democracy is good, and it works. It works so well, in fact, that this year an online petition got Weezer to cover 'Africa' by Toto.

This week, however, for the first time ever, that's all going to change (apart from the great songs bit. That's staying). In a self-administered experiment, we're applying a radio-style 5-minute chat, song, 5-minute chat, song format. We're going to be strict with it, and we're going to prove that we can abide by the rules. Where all of this will take us only the big man upstairs knows, but it...

Just a bit of land in the heart of the English countryside. A cow farm, really. But every now and then a miracle occurs and the entire world descends on it and memories that will last a lifetime are made. The name the locals like to give to this magical, mysterious event? It's Glastonbury Festival, of course, and Mystic forecasters predict it will happen again next year. Today we received confirmation that we'll be joining...

But how often have you stopped, had a little sit-down, and considered just how good (or bad) they actually are? Not very often, we reckon. So this week, to save you the bother, we're doing exactly that. For well over an hour we ponder whether some of modern life's most common phenomenon are, in our humble opinions, overrated or underrated, and deliver our arguments in a manner £10,000 per hour lawyers could only dream of. There's some music in there along the way too, just f...

This week we're in the studio to tell the sales of our summer, reminisce and play some big tunes that will always take us back to the glorious, halcyon days that made 2018's edition everything it was.

So spend an hour with us as we allocate each position in our band to a big (or small) name musician, and marvel at our vision. Imagine the album our assembled stars would create.

Tracks #109 - Bang Bang Anglo-Saxon - A Tribute To Jamie TOn January 8th 1986, one Jamie Alexander Treays was born in Wimbledon, South London and, in the 32 years since, that young man has cemented his place in the hearts and minds of a generation of young music fans in his home country of England. In this episode, we explain exactly why. It's a celebration of the genius that is Jamie T and a tale of our youths. He has been our peer, our hero and our soundtrack, and he hasn't received anywhere near the amount of thanks he deserves for being exactly that. This is our little way...

Tracks #108 - Get Ur FrissonWe've got chills, they're multiplying, and it's not because of John Travolta and his glorious quiff and his tight t-shirt. It's because of science. This week we're diving into the mysterious, wondrous world of frisson - that feeling you get when a piece of music inexplicably makes your hairs stand on end and a spark flies down your spine. It feels indescribable, yet there is, apparently, a lot of research behind what elicits such a response from us. Now we're not the world's smartest people. The behavioural sciences aren't our bag, so we're not going...

Tracks #107 - A Work Of ArtWhen you think about your favourite albums of all time, what first pops into your head? Is it the chorus that set you alight the first time you heard it? Is it the bonus track your mates didn't even know about but you did? Or is it, in fact, the artwork? We think it may well be the latter. For us it often is, anyway. Sleeve art can make or break a release, and a mistep in this area can lead to immediate rejection, no matter what glories lay within. Well for a while we've...

First up, we headed to Wiltshire. It was wet. It was windy. It was WOMAD 2018. We had the most amazing time at 'The World's Festival' in Malmesbury thanks to the lovely, lovely people at Borkowski, and this week we're delivering you our tales from the front line. Next, a return to sun-soaked Brighton was very much in order as one of our favourite events of the year took place. It was...

Anyway, now that the formalities are out of the way, we should probably address the fact that we've been away for a little while. Well, a long while actually. An unplanned Tracks hiatus has been in place and, while we feel dreadful for depriving you all of our dulcet tones for so long, we're not going to waste anyone's time with endless apologies. Instead, we're back this week to 1) explain what the hell was going on and 2) get...

Deep down we all love ITV2's runaway phenomenon. Even if we don't think we do, the fact is that every evening come 9pm we'll be tuning in. And when we see a podcast suggestively named to relate to the biggest hit on UK television at the moment, we're all going to want...

Or at least it's off to Russia for a month-long bonanza, and we are beside ourselves with excitement. Yes, this week it seems like everyone is talking about the World Cup, but we just had to join in. Our brave English boys have touched down ahead of a tournament that offers much hope, and we needed to give them a soundtrack to carry them through. If you're not a football fan, don't worry.

Without them, we wouldn't have anything to talk about in this week's episode, as we're taking the opportunity to look back on the first half of the year and pick out some musical gems that may have passed you by.

We don't know the answer to that question listeners but, in the case of The Great Escape Festival 2018, we're at least going to make sure it finishes with a bang. Today is our final episode of an amazing run, and we're lucky enough to be joined on the show by the simply brilliant Skinny Pelembe. He blew our socks off when we saw him for the first time here at TGE, and it turns out he's a bloody lovely guy too. Be...

To help us do that, we invited two (yes, two!) amazing guests on to the show. First up, Her's. The spectacular dream-pop two-piece that have stolen the hearts of everyone who attended last night's Horatio's gig, and we were so delighted that they were able to find a little time in a jam-packed schedule to stop by and say hello.

In today's episode, we're reminiscing about TGE's gone by before getting ourselves geared up for a huge, huge, huge opening day of action.

That sounds fun, doesn't it? Fear not, we're not getting all dark on you just yet. Instead, we're guiding you through the little pet peeves that make us the odd little men we truly are, picking songs that represent them and then condemning them to eternity in room 101 (or the bin, as we prefer to say).

We've done some brilliant things and met the best people since we started this podcast but, really, one guest stands out to us above all others.

Yes, of course, we're talking about Arctic Monkeys and their upcoming release 'Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino'. That teaser video. That artwork. Those song titles. Those haircuts.

Well and truly putting the FUN in FUNeral, we spun some massive tunes from the likes of The Libertines, Happy Mondays, Klaxons and Just Jack and reminisced about our memories of this staple of our musical upbringing.

As is always the case when we have a Tracks Show debutant, we dusted off our 'old, new, borrowed, blue' format and requested four songs from our esteemed guests.

Well, this week we're indulging in this huge passion of his by diving into the world of the commuter and picking some classic to help get you through.

We are, of course, talking about the John Lewis Christmas advert. Sickly sweet and acoustically soundtracked by Elbow, it's traditional fare that has become a staple of this time of year, but it wasn't always like this.
