Listen Like Thieves - Side A

Season 9, Ep. 1
•

AND WE'RE OFF! We fought through tech issues, a plague of locusts, two deaths, and a partial drowning to bring you this week's episode so you'd damn well better appreciate it! (Only one of those things is true...)


Corey makes Kev listen to more warbling from the wablecunt in chief, Joe Elliott and Kev's game for the season is right up Corey's alley. But will the goliath be outfoxed by the David? Will Michael and the boys start off Season Nine on the front foot? And will the person who left the black Toyota 4Runner blocking the door to the kitchen please move it?


The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and listen like thieves.


Songs covered in this episode; "What You Need", "Listen Like Thieves", "Kiss the Dirt (Falling Down the Mountain)", "Shine Like It Does", "Good + Bad Times"

  • 6. X - Side A

    01:39:39||Season 9, Ep. 6
    The follow up to the gigantic Kick. INXS set themselves an almost impossible job to follow up such a behemoth, but they sat down, jammed out a few chords, wrote down a few words, then wandered into a brand new studio to sing and play them into microphones and mixing desk to see what happened. But will they be able to match their smash hit? Will Kev be on board with a ballad closing out Side A? And why in the green shit is Corey covered in vodka with swiffered feet?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and disappear.Songs covered in this episode: "Suicide Blonde", "Disappear", "The Stairs", "Faith in Each Other", "By My Side"

  • 5. Night Ranger - Midnight Madness

    01:51:10||Season 9, Ep. 5
    You can still beatbox in Paraguay. You can still cut a rug in Côte d'Ivoire, you can still shake your money maker in Vanuatu, and apparently, you can still rock in America. Even though I'm pretty sure that no-one was stopping anyone doing that! We're joined by our good pal Tom Armbruster as we break down his kofi pick; Night Ranger's 1983 sophomore effort, Midnight Madness. But will Tom regret giving Kev another 80s rock band? Will Corey explain his weird hobbies, and what in the name of god will Kev make of all that hoodala?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and let him run.

  • 4. Kick - Side B

    01:54:59||Season 9, Ep. 4
    Pudding, chips, and peas is a staple meal of any young lad growing up in Wigan in the 70s and 80s. Vegemite as an abomination until Nuggan and should be outlawed. These are not completely random musings but do have something to do with this week's episode. But will Corey and Kev enjoy a song about a sex party (apparently), will the Weyburn Godzilla be reigned back in during this week's game, and will the boys head off on the biggest tangent to date?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and mystify me.Songs covered in this episode: "Wild Life", "Never Tear Us Apart", "Mystify", "Kick", "Calling All Nations", "Tiny Daggers"

  • 3. Kick - Side A

    01:38:25||Season 9, Ep. 3
    Corey's tired from grad, Kev's tired from work, and the episode drops in thirty minutes. Will Michael and the boys be able to pep up two middle aged fucks up enough to actually get this thing out? Will anyone know who The Loved Ones are? And will someone play that goddamn trumpet!!!The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and recreate or detonate...Songs covered in this episode: "Guns in the Sky", "New Sensation", "Devil Inside", "Need You Tonight", "Mediate", "The Loved One"If you want to hear the 1981 recording of The Love One - check it out here : https://youtu.be/72BKwvVGXDk

  • 2. Listen Like Thieves - Side B

    01:19:14||Season 9, Ep. 2
    Today we spin up Side B of Plastic Lett.... wait, that's not right... [checks notes...] Side B of Listen Like Thieves. It's Corey's second recording of the night with Kev, so will the friendship last? Will sausages finally be put back on the Weyburn International House of Waffle (that's singular not plural and it refers to the practice of jabbering on endlessly), will George Lucas stop fucking around with edits to Episode IV, and will Corey enjoy an INXS instrumental?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and never let it go.Songs covered in this episode: "Biting Bullets", "This Time", "Three Sisters", "Same Direction", "One x One", "Red Red Sun"

  • Welcome to INXS

    01:04:56||Season 9, Ep. 0
    We're heading down under folks, where the beer is cold, the sun is hotter and the front men are even hotter! There's another freewheeling conversation between Corey and Kev; Corey is a good way through the INXS biography and Kev accidentally downloaded a TV biopic that he thought was a documentary - so he's even less informed than usual! Corey hits Kev with a mini-game and we spin the Kofi wheel to find out what the next user submission will be. But will any of the albums this season be a contender for a top ten spot? Will there be any Def Leppard news? And just how do they get those little ships in the bottles?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and mystify me.

  • 12. Ozzy Osbourne - Under Cover

    01:56:38||Season 8, Ep. 12
    We're heading back to the Prince of Darkness courtesy of our pal Ruddy Rutherford. This one's an eclectic mix of Clapton, Lennon, and Arthur Brown? What?! You've never heard of Arthur Brown??? For shame! We end up listening to Green Day and there's altogether too much Def Leppard for Kev's liking. But will Corey be entertained by 21st Century Schizoid Man and will Kev be on board with a cover of one of his very favourite Lennon compositions?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and have some sympathy (and some taste)Also, go check out Ruddy's amazing photography at his website: Fit Light PhotographySongs covered in this episode; "Rocky Mountain Way", "In My Life", "Mississippi Queen", "Woman", "21st Century Schizoid Man", "All the Young Dudes", "For What It's Worth", "Good Times", "Sunshine of Your Love", "Fire", "Working Class Hero", "Sympathy for the Devil"

  • 11. Blondie (with Scott Haskin)

    01:50:49||Season 8, Ep. 11
    One last episode talking about Blondie. We also talk about Monty Python more than you expect. We find out about Scott Haskin's role in on the Airwolf TV show and Corey and Kev go head to head in the trivia round in a slightly different format. It all takes rather too long and Corey is very tired by the end of it, but, we do discover which artist we'll be covering in Season 9! But who will it be? Will it be Peter Gabriel era Genesis? Will it be Lars Ulrich's unreleased solo jazz work? Will it even rock and/or roll?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and disappear...
