This week: duelling early-00s jokers from Turbonegro (hat tip to Hank von Hell) and Peaches. Also: full jokerification, bands of bad takes, algorithmic recommendations, dream collabs, emergency psychiatric wards, XL-ence, Rammstein areas, horny Trent, feel the Berlin, troubling the builders, rating yourself, 2019 revisited, monkey business, Balearic munters, and their best album since their last good one.


Next week: box-fresh 2022-model-year albums from Blood Red Shoes, Yard Act and Eels, all of which you can find on our album review playlist on Spotify. Everything we listened to last year is 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 (including previous years' top 5 lists) 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
