tripping balls.299 I’ve got nothing against the disco biscuits

This week: new Midnight Oil, Methyl Ethel and a double-EP joker from Khruangbin + Leon Bridges. Also: tired and emotional, boomer drip twitter, TOFORSL, live on Goat Island, great legacy-act comeback albums, pod-night tweeting, who can we hold responsible for Sol Invictus, being loud wrong in real time, not for me Clive, misgendering your pets, 1991 Bristol areas, what’s a good billionaire, ideas that aren’t good enough for a full album, charcuterie, two and a half hours none of us can get back, and suddenly the stunt goes horribly wrong, this is your new universe, everybody in the house of love, starting fives, cheese, island amnesia, setting your priors correctly, feel the pain, paralysed by choice, internal assessment exercises, therapy?, deserted by choice, DJ Beeso on the wheels of steel, we’re gonna need a bigger island and packing a ski jacket for Rarotonga.

Next week: six years and 250 episodes later, it’s about time for Desert Island Discs Re-Revisited: This Time It’s Marginally More Professional. All our review albums, surprisingly enough, can be found 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 reviewed last year (2022 version coming once we listen to enough stuff to start a mixtape.) The full list of all the albums we've ever featured on the show (including our top 5s from previous years) 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
