Ultimate Catalogue Clash

Welcome to the first ever episode of our new podcast, "Eats and Beats"! where we break down the menu of one of our favourite restaurants every week, awarding 10 points for selection, 10 points for quality and 5 points for ambiance! Well, not really, but that's the bullshit I came up with for the intro and it's what you're getting for episode notes. We have the first skipper for Kev, a great conversation about a Canadian icon, and Corey goes off piste with his choices in this week's game. But, will it matter, given Corey has already won? Will Kev dig heavy metal funk and will Corey reveal the reasons behind his surreptitious Shakespeare deposits?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and deliver the big money deal!Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclash

Ummmm, errrr...... what? Oh, it's you lot! What do you want from me? Do you know how many damn podcasts I have to write notes for? I gotta come up with something witty or insightful or, I dunno, accurate every time? We're wrapping up Parallel Lines today and last week we promised you that Side B is stronger than Side A, so will we be true to our word? Will Corey reveal his reasons for ironing his gitch? And will Kev's Hail Mary play get him back into this season's game?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and just go away!(And fuck Mõtlèy Cȓüê!)Songs covered in this episode; "11:59", "Will Anything Happen?", "Sunday Girl", "Heart of Glass", "I'm Gonna Love You Too (Buddy Holly cover)", "Just Go Away".Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclash

One Way or Another, we're gonna git ya! We're heading back to New York after a brief excursion to Pasadena last week! We have a new producer, a new bass player, and a new sound overall. So will Blondie come out of the blocks all guns blazing? Will producer Mike Chapman be able to reign in the enigmatic Clem Burke, and will the album suffer from any rhythmic restraint? And will we ever find out what the fuck neo-nebular means?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and radiate...Songs covered in this episode; "Hanging on the Telephone"", "One Way or Another", "Picture This", "Fade Away and Radiate", "Pretty Baby", "I Know but I Don't Know"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclash

Well, well, well! We're crossing the podcast streams here and talking about an album that Corey has covered extensively on one of his other podcasts, And The Podcast Will Rock! Kev started listening to Van Halen when Sammy took over and has a pseudo-legal history with Dave! We're also joined, for the first time, by our KoFi supporter, Michael Pastore, who gave us this album to talk about. But will Corey put aside his flagrant bias for Pasadena's party boys? Will Kev hold a grudge against the man he argued against in Rock Court, and what in gods' names is a rhythm pig?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and leave this house of pain!You can find Michael's book, The Mighty Van Halen: One Fan's Journey, here: https://www.amazon.com/Mighty-Van-Halen-Fans-Journey/dp/B0G1KYGKGGYou can check out Ivan Anderson's video on Jump, here: https://youtu.be/D139GAY_SdQ?si=4aICEIZ9rQA_9QFEDon't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclash

We're already at the half way stage in this season's catalogue? How can that be? "When are you pair of idiots going to do a full catalogue again" we hear you cry? To that we say "fuck off and mind your own business!" We talk about movies, Dan Akroyd makes an appearance, and Kev tries to reign Corey back in during this season's game. But will he bamboozle the Weyburn Oracle, will Plastic Letters beat the debut's score, and what exactly did Corey find under the ice up in Northern Saskatchewan....?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and have the nerve to say no!Songs covered in this episode; "I Didn't Have the Nerve to Say No", "Love at the Pier", "No Imagination", "Kidnapper", "Detroit 442","Cautious Lip"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclash

Seven songs? SEVEN SONGS???? What kind of madness is this? Also, it's seven songs on a Blondie album, only one of which is written by Debbie Harry! What the hell are these guys (and gal) tryna' pull here? There are a lot of ideas being thrown at us here! We're venturing to the Bermuda triangle, we're speaking in French, and we're worried about snipers. But will Kev and Corey get to the bottom of what the heck "I'm on E" means? Will the supernatural horseshit in the lyrics of Gary Valentine's final contribution to the band irritate Kev, and will Corey remember his daring squirrel rescue?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and don't regret your loan!Songs covered in this episode; "Fan Mail", "Denis", "Bermuda Triangle Blues (Flight 45)", "Youth Nabbed as Sniper", "Contact in Red Square","(I'm Always Touched by Your) Presence, Dear", "I'm on E"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclash

Kev and Corey discover their favourite song on the album is the same track, there's no Def Leppard news, which makes Kev very happy, and Corey pontificates on the value of percussive restraint. But, will our dynamic duo love a song about alient ants (free range, not farmed), will Corey take advantage of Kev's appalling performance in the season's game last week, and who the fuck is Ronnie Toast and what does he have to do with Blondie?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and rip her to shreds!Songs covered in this episode; "Man Overboard", "Rip Her to Shreds", "Rifle Range", "Kung Fu Girls", "The Attack of the Giant Ants"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclash

Six songs to kick off Side A from Blondie's debut. We discover that X Offender isn't about Trump and Epstein, but rather is a cautionary tale about falling in love (or lust) with your local copper! There's drum fills aplenty, a few mix issues, and we talk a fair bit about Debbie Harry's voice. But, will new wave surf rock tickle Corey's pickle? Will Kev had any damn clue what West Side Story is? And what in god's name does anti-dandruff shampoo have to do with this week's episode?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and wear your best suit.Songs covered in this episode; "X Offender", "Little Girl Lies", "In the Flesh", "Look Good in Blue", "In the Sun", "A Shark in Jets Clothing"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclash

Iggy Pop recalls inviting Blondie to tour with him at a time when David Bowie was playing keyboards in his backing band. "Debbie was an American ponytail girl as seen through the lens of Roger Vadim; Barbarella on speed, or something like that."With Barbella on speed and Chris Stein right behind her, Blondie had all the ingredients to take on the world. But would internal friction pull the band apart? Would anyone take a blonde bombshell seriously as a frontwoman in a rock n roll band, and would Mike Chapman be able to polish these rough diamonds enough to see them dazzle the world?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and call me.Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclash
