tripping balls.285 ¿Por qué no los dos?

This week: new albums from Alabama 3, Twelve Foot Ninja and Dazy. Also: grime hat-tips, cletuses on acid, clearing out for iso, 90s TV one-hit wonders, BSB updates, Patton recognition, alternative timeline greatest hits, magazine freebies, sharing a brain, narcolepsy, Xzibit memes, long-list entry requirements and gin-neric drinking practices.

Next week: no man is an island but Beeso's off on one for the weekend so Parquet Courts, RÜFÜS DO SOL and the Sore Losers will have to wait for his return. Instead: regular third wheel on the TBP tricycle, the Godfather of Grime and our Official Metallica Correspondent Adamhfoto joins the Doc to establish whether the thirtieth anniversary remaster of the Black album has absolutely ruined it (or whether releasing a 15 hour super duper deluxe version did that automatically) and whether any of the covers on the Blacklist are worth a spin. Also: new Polish Club. 

Recent review albums are in our current album review playlist on Spotify, with earlier stuff in our 2021 review archive, along with our 2021 tripping balls mixtape featuring our favourite tracks from new albums we’ve reviewed this year. The full list of all the albums we've ever featured on the show and Beeso's playlist for his boys 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 we welcome your reckons via Twitter, Facebook and email.
