2021/08/10

Hey friends welcome to our narcissistic collection of best bits from season 2. We take you right back to conspiracies: is Paul dead? Is Tom DeLonge IN the stars? Unsolved. Then we're bringing you good critesen bois, the blinkisode continues and we're bringing you into an 80's/90's nostalgia aural hellscape in TV themes. See y'all back here for part 2. J & N

2021/07/19

Hey friends! Welcome to the free flowing (literally) impromptu finale of season 2 from the great outdoors. Listen to the calming ebb and flow of scummy polluted water alongside the erratic flow of our conversation as we regale you with some life updates and plans for the future. Listen out for the random swimmers blowing on a conch shell for some reason and some angry crows too. Take care guys and we'll see you in season 3. Thanks for your continued support and kindness. J & N xoxoKeep in touch

Unexpected Gig Experiences feat. Owen Pallett and...

Music Sounds Better With Two ·

2021/07/10

Hey friends! This week we discuss artists/gig experiences that touched our souls in ways no one else could. Julie discusses her deep, biased unapologetic love of the super talented Owen Pallett. Why play a violin with a bow when you can blow through it? And I talk about a beautiful spiritual experience I had at a Bruce Springsteen gig that healed me in places I hadn't even realised I needed healed. Unexpected emotional connections are very adorable and wholesome and we'd love to hear yours too. Take

Free Britney and respect Mark.

2021/07/04

Hey friends! We're back refreshed after a lil' break and while we were gone some things happened in the world. Things that we felt we'd like to and should talk about. Firstly, we discuss the latest developments in the Britney Spears conservatorship honestly and openly and sensitively as always. Which then leads us into the horrible mucky, innards of the pop machine once more. Why are we obsessed with making narratives out of people we don't know's lives? Turns out we're all in a massive

Hamilton: Part 2

Music Sounds Better With Two ·

2021/06/20

Hi guys! Welcome back to part 2 and it's time skip time! J and I are joined by J's good friend Sarah Templeton, a hard-core Hamilfan and defender of the second act being supreme. J sheds tears over the emotional second act while Sarah and I remain dry eyed. Sarah starts a defend 'Dear Theodosia' movement almost instantly and from there we delve into the complexities of the second act. We get in deep with the characters and go track by track to create a running time longer than the show itself. (Nice

Hamilton: Part 1

Music Sounds Better With Two ·

2021/06/14

Al-ex-an-d-er we are meant to be....Welcome Hamilfans and those who have watched it once (me) or never! We're all big musical fans here and there's no better way to start than by discussing the cultural phenomenon of Hamilton. We are joined by a beautiful Hamilfan, my gorgeous friend, Courtney as we delve into the first half of Hamilton. We discuss why we are all helpless to fall in love with Hamilton like Eliza herself. We then move onto the plethora of characters and the complexity of the raps

Nonsense Song Lyrics

Music Sounds Better With Two ·

2021/05/31

Hey friends! This week we discuss those song lyrics that make you pause for a second and go "...wait...what?" Welcome to nonsense lyrics. We take a deep dive into: Carly Simon singing about broken kitchen appliances. Bruno Mars winching folk with their eyes open WHY are they open? J getting frustrated with pop culture listing of things that are only relevant for 2 minutes (looking at you LFO and O-Town) but then gives a free pass to the wonderful Barenaked Ladies and The Bloodhound Gang. Come join

Underappreciated albums feat. Good Charlotte and Midlake

Music Sounds Better With Two ·

2021/05/23

Hey friends! This week we take you on a little trip to underappreciated album city. We are going to give some love to albums that got did dirty at the time of release by fans and critics alike but now, with the passage of time, are viewed in a more positive light. First stop I take you on a chaotic spin around Good Charlotte's 'Good Morning Revival'. After their earlier pop-punk efforts this weird dance pop album wasn't received well by many. It was, however, received very well by me. Moving on to

TV Theme Tune Nostalgia

Music Sounds Better With Two ·

2021/05/16

All aboard the nostalgia train friends! Next stop is iconic TV theme tunes from J and I's (and probably most of yours too) pasts. We kick things off with a little TV show quiz (play along if you dare). then J steers us into the often unsuccessful territory of long-running tv show theme tune revamps/reimaginings. Let me take you on a tour of 90's/00's UK after school classics for those only blessed with cbbc/citv and no access to cable. I am left with only despair at not owning a helicopter or

blink-182 - the story continues

Music Sounds Better With Two ·

2021/05/09

Hey friends! That's right people I'm dragging you into blink hell again for 2 hours. This time we cover the Take Off Your Pants and Jacket era (2000-2002). Things descend into drunken chaos (blink would be proud) as J and I raise our gins (audible ice clinking) to the blink boys once again. Join us as we discuss how adorable, authentic and chaotic the band are on numerous early 00's MTV documentaries/interviews. On the 'Road Home' J gets impregnated by Tom and I fall deeper into a 'flat abyss' of

Keith Green's Legacy: Spiritual seekers and Christian...

Music Sounds Better With Two ·

2021/05/02

Hey friends, (Christians and non-christians alike) welcome to this week's service where J and I discuss our experiences with Christian (crietsen) music. J shares the beautiful story of Keith And Melody Green. Two wonderful people who opened their hearts and homes to those in need and Jesus himself in the 1970's. Even for me (an ex-catholic and current atheist) their story is one of endless inspiration on navigating the human experience. We then take you on a journey through some Christian rock

Conspiracy Theories

Music Sounds Better With Two ·

2021/04/25

We're back! (Even though we barely left) Did you miss us? We don't care because we missed you and each other so we're back to infect the airwaves again. This week, The truth is out there and J and I make a (failed) attempt to find it. From the macabre to the ridiculous we discuss music personality conspiracy theories. We try to be non exploitative and respectful but the shift in tones are handled with all the subtlety of a sledge hammer (on my part). J gives us a run down of music conspiracies from

The Kerrang Sessions - The Final Part

Music Sounds Better With Two ·

2021/04/18

It's the end of the K! Sessions. You may all heave a collective sigh of relief but we're sad to say goodbye. An absolute plethora of tech issues (on my part) plague this cursed episode and I can only apologise for the audio quality but I don't want to cause I like to sound like a D.I.Y punk band recording in the basement. We read an article on Foo Fighter's 'Wasting Light' which J has a personal affinity with. This album was probably written while Dave was "taking the bins oot" or "cleaning his

The Kerrang Sessions - Part 4

Music Sounds Better With Two ·

2021/04/17

Back again for more torture I see? Welcome to the K! Sessions part 4 in this episode I hop onto Kerrang's radio site and read an article about metal covers of ABBA songs. J and I both love a bit of ABBA and are luke warm at best with regards to metal in general (sorry not sorry). Will this article change our minds? In short, not really, but boy do we have fun along the way. Step inside to hear my pitiful attempt at "screamo" vocals, repetitive guitar tones I dislike after 0.5 seconds and why oh why

The Kerrang Sessions - Part 3

Music Sounds Better With Two ·

2021/04/16

Here we go again...Kerrang! Files part 3. This episode we explore facts about Dave Grohl...some of which cause me to have a minor existential crisis. Then I discuss the 'war on emo',an insane moment in time where The Daily Mail basically told the parents of any kids that listened to MCR that they should be very worried...*eye roll intensifies*. The latter article discusses the death of Sophie Lancaster and there are some heavier issues raised throughout. J and I hopefully navigate these issues with

The Kerrang Sessions - Part 2

Music Sounds Better With Two ·

2021/04/15

Back again for the chaotic and largely plotless Kerrang! Session sequel. As most sequels go (bar a few shining examples) this one falls into the abyss rather quickly and we wouldn't have it any other way. We start by addressing the strange music choices on Clyde 1 for the passing of Prince Phillip and from this point it quickly slides down a slippery McPhilly Cheese Steak lined slope. In this session I read an article on underrated 90's albums and we then move onto 90's movie cameos made by bands

The Kerrang Sessions Part 1

Music Sounds Better With Two ·

2021/04/14

Do you have the time? To listen to us whine? No? Good. Anyway here's a mini-series no one probably wanted: the K-Files 8f you will. Join us in the insanity as I read out Kerrang! articles for J while she paints her bedroom and reacts to said article from up a 7ft ladder. In part 1 we discuss the most iconic pop punk songs of all time (apparently) according to Kerrang. Also J gives us a horrifyingly hilarious insight into her Spam mail. Yikes. J & N xoxo

2021/04/10

Sequels are usually weaker? Not the case here! Welcome to the best of season 1 part deux. We relive the best bits of episodes 8-10 and give you brand new content too! Come peek behind the curtain into our bigger, longer and uncut lives. Prepare the romantic scented candles and holy water as we read some erotic blink-182 slash fiction. You thought our relationship with blink-182 and each other was intimate before huh? Wrong again. To calm yourself down after steamy ToMark goodness we listen to some

Best of Series 1 - Part 1

2021/04/03

Finally, we hit on the perfect episode for everyone (it only took us 11 weeks...) if you are a newcomer to our pod (may God have mercy on your soul, first and foremost) this is a good taster to the topics we cover and our shared stupid sense of humour. And if you’re a loyal listener (please reach out and we will have a well deserved drink together in a post COVID world) it’s a fun way to reminisce with us over the course of our journey so far. It’s an all killer, no filler girl band/boy

Series Finale - Queer Culture: A Conversation Between...

Music Sounds Better With Two ·

2021/03/28

Hey friends! This week we are honoured to be joined by our friend Lewis Creechan as we celebrate queer culture and the end of season 1. Lewis talks so openly and beautifully about the amazing strong female artists that defined his own queer experiences. His journey includes: an adorable awakening via Shania Twain's 'Man I Feel Like A Woman', becoming a 'Lil monster' through the iconic Lady Gaga, not being able to get Kylie out of his head and finally falling in love with the tumblr poster girls
