Music Is None Of Our Business

We are Dave and Jake, two 60 year old music fans, and we take on a different theme per episode and pick five relevant songs each. We cover music from the 60"s to now, and more or less any genre you can think of. From Punk to Pop, Reggae to Northern Soul, Drum N Bass to Ambient, if it"s out there, we"ll listen to it. Our best review ever said: "I love this podcast. My new favourite. Never heard Throbbing Gristle and Taylor Swift discussed in any depth in the same decade - let alone in the same

Episode Twenty - When We Were Young

Music Is None Of Our Business ·

2025/12/24

We discuss being young with a selection of old 70's pop hits we would have heard on the radio and Top Of The Pops when we were aged 5 - 11. Obviously it goes without saying that we stray off topic numerous times and Jake says "Oh dear" a lot.

Episode Seventeen - Totally Random Man

Music Is None Of Our Business ·

2025/11/25

We each pick 5 songs that we really, really like. That's a nice simple one. We also cover Jive Bunny, band names with swear words in them and whether it's appropriate to use said swear words, while obviously using them, rubbish remixes and lots more pointless old rubbish.

Episode Fifteen - Duck & Cover

Music Is None Of Our Business ·

2025/11/07

We compile some of our favourite cover versions. There are also obscure Kids TV references, saving the world from alien invasion via the medium of bad karaoke, plus the usual going off on tangents, bad jokes, amnesia and general lack of professionalism.

Music Is None Of Our Business ·

2025/10/30

We reminisce about 1997. Dave almost finishes a sentence, Jake is as erudite as ever. There are Marianne Faithfull cards making a racket, forgotten gigs, at least one reasonably funny joke, an astounding amount of Instagram views and all the usual mishaps.

Episode Thirteen - Not Superstitious

Music Is None Of Our Business ·

2025/10/17

We compile some of our favourite female fronted bands. Jake reveals he can speak Icelandic, Dave get's the title of one of his favourite LPs wrong. Twice! And doesn't even notice. Amateur! There's chortling, chuckling and at least one guffaw.

Episode Ten - Singles Club

Music Is None Of Our Business ·

2025/09/10

After the 2 hour compilation marathon, an hour long sprint through a few brilliant singles. Allegedly. We still managed to go over an hour, even with only five picks each.

Episode Nine - The Compilation Marathon

Music Is None Of Our Business ·

2025/09/02

Yikes, a 2 hour + episode. Sorry about that. I had a list of this episodes highlights, but I appear to have mislaid it. However we do discuss the joys of a good compilation LP. A collection of songs you love all in one place, or a chance to broaden your musical horizons or a combination of both. Answers on a postcard to.......

Episode Eight - We Are The Punks! Part Two

Music Is None Of Our Business ·

2025/08/25

More punky goodness. Dave gets distracted and forgets stuff, Jake ruins everything by picking loads of bands that Dave had picked as well, then Dave gets distracted and forgets stuff again. All in all, the usual amateurish fabulousness you've all come to know and love.

Episode Seven - We Are The Punks! Part One

Music Is None Of Our Business ·

2025/08/19

Part one of our punk rock special, covering our favourite bands from 1976 - 82. Dave is predictable, Jake is not quite so predictable. Expect the usual childish humour, lots of "you know" from Dave, and worrying examples of goldfish memory syndrome.

Episode Six - It's All About Parameters

Music Is None Of Our Business ·

2025/08/06

Girls! Girls! Girls! Our favourite contemporary female musicians are revealed. Plus the usual waffling on, umming and aahing, half finished sentences, going off on tangents, and that's just Dave's contribution.

Episode Five - Thanks For The Memories

Music Is None Of Our Business ·

2025/07/30

Another massive one. We revel in nostalgia, snogging, skin peeling off, paper rounds, dangerous driving and Dave manages the greatest music joke ever.

Episode Four - Not Guilty Your Honour

Music Is None Of Our Business ·

2025/07/12

It's a marathon! Dave babbles, Jake uses proper sentences as we discuss our parents music taste (or lack of), livers flying out of orifices, misogynist social media scum and disco.

01:20:44

Episode 3 - It's Totally Rad, Dude!

Music Is None Of Our Business ·

2025/07/07

As always Jake has taken the time to prepare a script whilst Dave chooses the ADHD waffling technique, as we both reveal our top 10 LPs of the year so far.

Music Is None Of Our Business ·
