Returning to the sunny Vineyards of France, Bryn and Jaff talk through a whole host of incredible releases from the last seven days, and there's an unexpectedly Celtic theme to this weeks' choices. And if that isn't enough for you, they also discuss Ozzy Osbourne's distinctive aroma, whippets wearing clothes.....and brake fluid.

In this week's episode, Bryn and Jaff tackle the "racy" world of white wine....suspenders and all! Jaff's swede gets a bit "nonky" , Bryn pops to the shops to buy some cabbage whilst whistling Pissgrave, and they actually get rather serious when they start talking about the "stonkingly" good selection of music releases from the past week.

This week Bryn and Jaff are back in France to test the fruity waters of Chardonnay.....and their opinions are split for the first time!! Once again, there's been another slew of great albums for us to get stuck into this week....if we can find time in between our riveting discussions about international gigolo's, Bryn's tropical plums, salt-baked beets and the occasional dragon. Grab a glass and join us in the absurdity... Botty's up everyone!!

This week Bryn and Jaff go organic!! Fighting back hordes of small partridges and avoiding the torrential rice pudding downpours, they get stuck in to another healthy meal of music releases from the past week while they dissect all the important important topics such as Mulberry handbags, Glastonbury, and how to artificially inseminate a flower.... This Weeks Releases The Wildhearts - Satanic Rites Of The Wildhearts https://open.spotify.com/album/5DpCn2FhSv9PK9vcqQJP6v?si=v-zYH3gWQVWTbgmfRfmtRg This Gift Is A Curse - Heir https://thisgiftisacurse.bandcamp.com/album/heir Pyres - Yun https://open.spotify.com/album/5Q3sm0skYpP07nGLwIp9a7?si=pjf5HdfHRaOvozRGU5uLtg Bonejammer - Carcinogenesis https://bonejammer.bandcamp.com/album/carcinogenesis KLPS - K L P S https://open.spotify.com/artist/6XEcMSGuyKvUqt6UI3I7Ou?si=-JW_rsBeQWim8l-M0IVz5g Guiltless - Teeth To Sky https://guiltless.bandcamp.com/album/teeth-to-sky Hosted on Acast.

On this weeks episode Jaff threatens to expose himself, Bryn gets himself completely lost somewhere between Spain and Italy, Anna Kournikova makes an unscheduled appearance and they have a very honest conversation about Sleep Token....ten episodes in and there's still a good dose of nonsense to be had!! Musically, the soundtrack of this week's releases was phenomenal and includes what may be one of the greatest prog albums ever written.....

In this episode Bryn and Jaff pick up a wayward traveller in the form of Mr Jake Doherty, a man who just so happens to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of wine and a hearty interest in alternative music.....he even happened to bring two bottles with him......how convenient. The usual chaos ensues, including discussions of Oregon cadavers, Bryn's lack of underpants, French vineyards being invaded by alien life forms.....and some genuinely interesting facts about wine. More importantly though, what will Jake think of the unique scoring system? This Weeks Releases KAZEA - I. Ancestral https://suiciderecordsswe.bandcamp.com/album/i-ancestral KATLA - Scandinavian Pain https://katladk.bandcamp.com/album/scandinavian-pain Rancid Cadaver - Mortality Denied https://rancidcadaver.bandcamp.com/album/mortality-denied Drudkh - Shadow Play https://drudkh.bandcamp.com/album/shadow-play Hosted on Acast.

This week Bryn and Jaff use their new-found wine knowledge to analyse a Chilean Pinot Noir....but have they actually learnt anything? Jaff tries to go to Belgium looking for electro-cicadas but repeatedly ends up in Scandinavia, Bryn has a revelation about simple maths and gets an unusually depressing Danish lesson, and for the first time they rate an album out of ten....for no discernible reason whatsoever. The musical releases this week have been absolutely incredible. Covering genres from funeral-doom, shoe gaze, post-metal and many more....there's a lot to talk about so get yourself ready for a deep dive into these records!! This Weeks Releases Nortt - Dødssang (23:28) (Avantgarde Music) https://avantgardemusic.bandcamp.com/album/d-dssang Amenra - De Toorn / With Fang and Claw (EP's) (38:00) (Relapse Records) Telepathy - Transmissions (58:40) (Pelagic Records) https://telepathyband.bandcamp.com/album/transmissions Industrial Puke - Alive to No Avail (01:13:38) (Suicide Records) https://suiciderecordsswe.bandcamp.com/album/alive-to-no-avail Decrepisy - Deific Mourning (01:22:45) (Carbonized Records) https://decrepisy.bandcamp.com/album/deific-mourning Deafheaven - Lonely People With Power (01:34:10) (Roadrunner Records) https://deafheavens.bandcamp.com/album/lonely-people-with-power Hosted on Acast.

This week Bryn and Jaff go fishing off the coast of Western Australia with a wonderful bottle of merlot (shame about the crack). There's shiny noggins, a potential invitation to Saturday Kitchen and a dirty Pink (not Keith) Floyd....GO SLEEP!! There's been a very eclectic bunch of albums out this week, from punk to blackened-doom and everything in between....and if that's not enough there's even a brief interlude for some shipping forecast.....you're in for a wild ride!!
