This week: Adamhfoto joins Doc to spin a couple of Other People’s Classic Albums (as-yet unheard by your correspondents) from Living Colour and Amy Winehouse. Also, terrible intros, getting high, episode 250 pitches, burning jacarandas, deliberately forgetting the ending, new-old beats, Adele’s Berlin heroin period, washed millennials, monetised pain, family rehab, songs not to perform on X Factor, rail safety, the 27 Club exists for a reason, the Bob Rock of grunge, 1991 had a lot going on, as did 1988, the Vai-Satriani nexus, the Reverse Elvis, Love Rears 2: Electric Boogaloo, end of the evolutionary line, Mick Jagger’s LinkedIn, Sunshine covers, Guitar Hero on hard, and when seven inches is all you need. Thanks to Adam for guesting on the music pod this week - check out his Saturday nite request sessions live on FB and be sure to request the Soul Power remix of Love Rears Its Ugly Head, if only to drown out Beeso drunkenly demanding random album cuts from Little Simz or the Bobby Lees.

Next week: Beeso’s back with new albums from Troy Kingi, The Atomic Bitchwax and the iso gospel according to Vika & Linda. Current and recent review albums are in our album review playlist on Spotify, along with our full archive of earlier review albums from 2020 and our long-awaited mixtape of our favourite tracks from therein. Our full list of all the new and classic albums we've reviewed on the pod and Beeso's kids playlist 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.
