This week: new albums from Hollie Smith and ’68, and Electric Six unlock their inner RSL covers band. Also: two kinds of (other people’s) music, more brass than class, the Guardian’s lost-and-found section, Squires on the A-League, tears before bedtime, the Boss can’t count, un-Googleable bands, coherence of purpose, things we can do without, Doc’s favourite album of 2017, Ladyhorse, I’ve been to Goodna but I’ve never been to me, A Very Paul Kelly Christmas, Staffo’s Patreon yarn with Ash Naylor, lord of the flies, lawnmower fuel and shamlessly shilling for contra. 

Next week: Lisi, Warbly Jets and Even bring the new new. 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.
