Episode 79 - A Mother-In-Law at Christmas

Is it a Les Dawson joke? Probably, but we are nowhere near as funny as that (winks and points). This week we continue our trek through the sonic sludge of the pop charts, on a quest ever onwards towards the goal of a complete and beautiful pantheon. There's one song this week that is guaranteed to start an argument...

This is a bumper episode this week and all because we get our 718th track in this episode. And yes that is incredibly important. Plus Liam makes a shocking confession.

You will find moments where the quality (not the audio but rather the humans) in this podcast changes drastically. This episode was stitched together from a few records to make Craig seem like he was functional. Its not quite Weekend at Bernies but he's definitely close to death's door.

Listen! Listen to us talk about noise!... YEAH!
Now that we've careered past the halfway mark its getting harder and harder to write these things. But I promise you there's some legitimately decent tunes in this week's show.

Its all the things you hope for in an episode: some big famous tracks, some absolute dross, some forgotten gems, and some spicy opinions. Plus, we open our union jack parachute.

Ahhh... listen to that rasping, resonant sound as we scrape the barrel for nine more random number ones from UK history. Some absolute horrors on show this week, but will there be any gold in the mix?

Episode 85 - Will Work For Cocaine

An episode of arguments, disappointments, broken promises and strange reversals of opinions. We try not to kill each other and provide entertainment at the same time... its a real tightrope sometimes!

Please insert something fun or witty or downright shocking here yourself dear listener. We're over halfway through this project and not only am I out of ideas, but my eyes hurt from looking at our RSS feed for too long...
It quite a good episode tho. Just to keep it fresh Liam and Craig clash... again.

The title for this was originally so horrific we've just had to shorten it to 'melted' but I've changed my mind. You'll have to listen to the episode (I wrote spider then, dunno why) to find out the missing word. You'll also get to hear evidence that Matt is indeed living inside the matrix and that all reality is merely a simulation.

Imagine if we just typed up a lorem ipsum text here. Would anyone actually notice? Does anyone actually read these? Have I turned my fingers into mere bloody stumps writing this for it to be summarily ignored by all and sundry?

Welcome to Every Number One Ever!
A revisionist history of pop music and culture from 1952 to now.
Over the next three years, friends and DAA stalwarts Matthew Leonard, Craig Lowe, and Liam Maloney are pruning the UK pop charts from day dot to now. Randomly selected number ones fired at them and either banished to the bin for all eternity or raised to the hallowed pantheon of pop after discussion, argument and general nonsense.
The discarded songs will be expunged from history and in their stead shall be one randomly selected number two single. Will it be Penny Lane, God Only Knows, Jean Genie? Or the Dexys Midnight Runner's parody 'Come On England'? Only fate and a random spreadsheet function can know for sure!
So join us on our odyssey into pop as we try to correct some historical musical maladies and revitalise the once glittering UK pop chart.
