This week: we review shiny new 2020-flavoured musical albums from Khruangbin, Beans and GUM. Also: Jazz Club (nice), kitchen salmonella, fake profoundity, Americans have bad taste in music, homer picks, 80s lifts, kicking into the wind, Life on Mars, never get enthusiastic about anything, Beck on deck, emotional instability, playlist bombing, making out, Doc Badly Remembers Bios, Doc Badly Reads Press Releases, Doc Badly Does Maths, ironic PBRs, forgotten* NIN classic album eps, revising Meat Loaf’s arithmetic, starting the lawnmower, the Batsmans’ Union, canned balls, twitter is occasionally good, the Washington Racial Slurs, cancelled candy, black lives continue to matter despite old angry white men arguing to the contrary, the old-timey quaintness of The Decision, following indecisive Frenchmen around with a camera and some ironic discussion of our audio quality (we’ll sort it next week, promise.) Next week: a recent classic from Tax The Heat plus new albums from Dream Wife and Pabst. Current and recent review albums are in our album review playlist on Spotify, along with our full archive of earlier review albums from 2020 and our long-awaited mixtape of our favourite tracks from therein. Our full list of all the new and classic albums we've reviewed on the pod and Beeso's kids playlist are also available elsewhere on the internet. BALLS and tripping balls are available on their own RSS feeds, as well as being found together on Omny Studio,Spotify and Apple Podcasts (feel free to subscribe, rate and review) - and your unvarnished reckons are always welcomed via Twitter, Facebook and email.
