2022/11/01

This month sees the ultimate embodiment of toast Foley, Project Studio 54, sneaking in the back door of The 27 Club on a technicality, thereby clearing the decks for a forthcoming cinematic release of Commercial Studio Banquet. It's a culinary bonanza, as Mike tastes the music while nursing a GM hangover, Jon tastes his own Olivier Award with Draco Malfoy, and Abel Selaocoe tastes gateway-drug salad from an everlasting queue. And in an emotional homecoming, Lydia Sherwood's backspaceless AI alerts

2022/10/02

In this month's individually hand-marbled episode, Mike welcomes Whon Jitten into his world of vocal-editing pain, tormenting him with James Blunt, a unionised bee in a Tupperware box, and a truly horrifying polar-pattern selection. Joining them is 2021's second biggest sell-out, Bob Dylan, eschewing mayonnaise for overpriced one-of-one-so-far space-vinyl. So if you're not showering on a busy road under a helicopter while mowing the lawn, do join us in getting 80 percent of the way there with just

PSTB #52b: Episode? What episode?

2022/09/13

In a spectacular double facepalm, Jon and Mike were completely unable to coordinate a podcasting date last month (or even early this month), but -- never fear! -- we have a couple of juicy extras to tide you over until the next proper episode in October. As if EDM fans didn't already have enough reasons to hit the bourbon...Fancy more of our nonsense?

It seems like only yesterday that Mike was dancing on block-colour backgrounds with 905 songs in his pocket, but his extraodinarily slow-acting curse has finally been fulfilled as Darth Cassette revanquishes iPod Skywalker in the stirring finale of The Airpods Strike Back. Meanwhile, Jon has been getting the pseuds on board by hurling his angry, passionate talent at the microphone and rattling his big draw of nicknacks and marbles (one of his cheapest, dirtiest music-production whotsits). If you're

2022/07/04

By the power of the shiny-haired Hrímnir frá Hvammi, a shiny-headed Jon has been doing his Gollum-inspired Riverdance over a functional horse-keyboard, causing the word 'utilise' to vanish beautifully. Setting aside the JV1080 jubilee strings, however, he's been working hard at a Republican campsite to make his guitar sound as awful as The Dukes Of Haphazard. But could anything be as awful as Diana Ross's headline lip-sync ballet at the Platinum Party At The Palace? Mike, the segue king, struggles

Project Studio Tea Break ·

2022/06/03

Inspired by Vidal Sasson, this month's episode is full of sparkletubes, slideyfarts, bashable barcodes, exploding headpumps, and many other unskeptical noisies. MIT are back to their old tricks, playing keepy-uppy in zero G with their dodecahedral space shaker. But they're no match for Jon, singing Kylie Minogue on a War Horse to the accompaniment of chimes that go 'thunk', or Mike dancing with his shoelace amidst a barrage of MIDI boiled eggs. Also, there's a bunch of grumbling Dads riding their

2022/05/05

Recorded from tea-cup perspective for maximum authenticity, this episode explains how to get from Douglas Adams to Terry Pratchet (via Brian Wilson) in a sleepy country voice. Jon, as befits a member of his multi-award-winning community, has been filling numerous creative roles: convicted pirate; amateur organ salesman; inadvertently fraudulent (but unfireable) accountant; and inverse Lazarus, smiting the unworthy asunder. So how come his SM58 died of shame? Mike, on the other hand has been

2022/04/01

This month, a densely-woven Jon's been struggling to keep his mind out of the gutter by smearing a microphone thinly over the top of a modest vape rig and pushin a pre-1994 Barbie doll into a red cabbage, while serving borscht to a red-headed widow. Mike, though, has officially been busier than him, scribbling a 10-year callback on manuscript at 3am and shouting 'Number!' at other podcasters in a hell of his own making. Nevertheless, he's found time to brush aside Will Smith's slap (despite living

Project Studio Tea Break ·

2022/03/02

Jon, the King Of Kittenz, is back in the Land Of Hope And Corbyn, and working surprisingly hard on an Ode To Sinusitis with his electrotango sitar and 50 guitars in unison. Kelly Clarkson's lending a hand with her virtuoso banjo, and Bready Mercury is managing the toothbrush orchestration. (It's no Kind Of Bloop, though -- for that you'd need a screamo ceilidh caller in a Hert locker.) Mike, Ninja Of Kilobits, is helping out too, setting aside his political ambitions to wield Chekhov's gun against

Project Studio Tea Break ·

2022/02/01

It's another star-studded Grammy Awards extravaganza, with DJs of all stripes, a suavely bearded Jon spreading his rebar wings, a grizzled Mike slapping himself in the face with American cheese, and a surreptitious Nirvana catfish. Hosier surmounts Olivia Rodrigo's parapet with Disney attitude to resist the rise of The Abbanator. Anderson Paak's been feeding salt-and-vinegar crisps to Bruno Mars from Lady Gaga's poisoned chalice, although Jon Batiste decided to stick with his gourmet salad. Alicia

2022/01/01

Jump into the PSTB DeLorean, plug in 1kW of guitar pedals, and let's go for a star-studded ride! See Tina Turner, Mick Hucknall, and the drummer from Eastenders clamouring to jump into Puff Daddy's EDM sausage machine. Hear Hawkeye's Imagine Dragons impression, Captain Marvel's Magic Of Pegasus, and Shatner Claus's Gilbert & Sullivan chillout. There's plenty of action fodder too, with Bruce Willis, Mr T, and Vin Diesel all throwing digeridoo shade. Not to be outdone, Jon's been soft-shoe tap-dancing

2021/12/19

Welcome to the Rebeccaverse! Yes, you read that correctly, because we're joined by the smack-talking Angel of Christmas herself for our end-of-year spectacular. As you can imagine, the excitement has caused Mike to drop his monocle in his gin and tonic, and Jon to spill his cup of beautiful Balinese angel-cat tea into the hummingbird feeder. It's a musical extravaganza too, as we sing along to 'It's Only A Pumpkin-Spice Subwoofer Moon', 'Twangles The Christmas Squid', and other meditation-metal

PSTB #43c: Jon‘s first single has landed! Yay!

Project Studio Tea Break ·

2021/11/18

The day of Truth has arrived. The day of Justice. The day of Friday. But, even more importantly, it's launch day for Jon Whitten's first ever single under his own name! Yay! The song's called 'How To Make A Mirror', and features, as you'd hope, a herd of harmonising Whittens and the kind of dulcimer playing that only our very own Jon could have shaken a stick at. So what are you waiting for?! Tarry no longer, but head over without delay to the following link and treat your grateful ears to a

We told you all about Jon Whitten's single release tomorrow, but did you actually go to https://bit.ly/whittenand and immediately follow all his socials in feverish anticipation of the song's arrival? Deary, deary me. Well, don't say I didn't warn you...

Project Studio Tea Break ·

2021/11/17

Casting the veil of anonymity boldly aside, our very own Jon Whitten will be releasing his first ever music under his own name on November 19th -- ie. in just a couple of days' time! It would help him enormously if you could immediately check out and (whisper it!) even follow his social media accounts to stay up to date with the launch. There's steak and potatoes (a capella) to be had. And some Flamenco wrestling too, as you'd expect... You can find all the links here! https://bit.ly/whittenand

Project Studio Tea Break ·

2021/11/01

It's another episode stuffed with carefully curated nothing, beneath a comforting veneer of adventure, polished with insanity. Creativity meets the laws of physics with a bump, as Jon trains himself to fall over convincingly in thigh-high leather heels. But that's nothing to Mike's suspicious heatsink-related injuries, which have left him dreaming of magic gofers and a self-emptying plastic volcano. (Serves him right for bringing a rifle mic to an karmic blunderbuss party.) In the wings, The Empress

Project Studio Tea Break ·

2021/10/01

Despite claiming this whole episode against tax, your intrepid hosts search once more for the answer to life, the universe, and everything. Jon has been chuntering joyously through all the most important notes, despite abuse from his non-bandleader. Even with ravaged thumb joints, though, he's still been chasing headphone-clad cows with his Super Soaker and creating the most offensive video he's seen all year. Meanwhile, Mike has been finger-tutting in the original Javanese, and having the time of

PSTB #41: Hula mics, spy pencils, and 2W of pure power

Project Studio Tea Break ·

2021/09/01

We're back again with a full two watts of pure podcasting power and a shirt full of double-necked electric guitars! Our indoor cat Jon has been busy scaling 30-metre mountains, painting an SM58 like a spy pencil, and making a mic out of a hula hoop. Meanwhile, Mike parts the kimono to reveal the single organ he's been relying on for employment, but (to give discredit where's discredit's due) you have to admire his kitten-perspective cooking blog's Spidey Sense. There's plenty to learn this episode

Project Studio Tea Break ·

2021/08/05

As our podcast slips on its Gucci (or is it Prada?) loafers and slides into sloppy middle age, it's time to brew some hot water, suck on a teabag, and ask 'What is a wall?' in a Swedish accent. Jon's been suffering the effects of jitter and bitcrushing, while learning to fail inconspicuously at impromptu outreach. Mike valiantly resists innuendo to report on chocolate acrobatics, whole-body shivers, and a floppy screw, as well as bringing us another banger from Presto Public Relations. (It's about

PSTB #40-ish: Mind the stop-gap!

2021/08/01

The Mike & Jon Of Yestermonth valiantly tread water while present-day Mike & Jon pull their finger out and finally find a time they can both record a full episode.
