tripping balls.291 Measure twice, cut once

This week: Birdz, gloo and the Darkness (plus bonus Wolfmother, if you’re into that sort of thing). Also: fake work getting in the way of actual work, domestic model Subarus, polished to a dull sheen, amateur carpentry, bars over beats, 80s Oils areas, garage to bedroom flow, jokes over everything, serious legitimate musical theatre, Japanese synthwave, concepts on concepts, Ronseal Stockdale, the successful negotiation of very low bars, horse partitioning, half hour delivery guarantees, make-or-miss algorithms, particularly zeitgeisty, Bootsy v Muggsy, the blues is the blues, never saying no, Brest screening, leaving the single off the album, Spotify Half-Wrapped, quarantining your kids’ terrible music off your account, talking over generic Casiotone, dad rap tags, throwing hands at Verzus, magnetic cheese, we talkin’ bout practice, insipid Canadian disses, ridiculous claymation violence, seasonal nut allergies and a snapback for the diss track. 

Next week: Buffalo Nichols, Bicurious and an evening with Silk Sonic. 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.
