Episode 97: Ladies’ Night!
A decade plus after #MeToo four men discuss fave females, just as we realise gender is an outdated concept. Isn't it ironic? Nah, it a riot (grrrl). Among others, Miss Sharon Jones brings the soul, Siouxsie Sioux the stranger things, and Martha Wainwright reminds us all to treat our daughters with some serious respect!

Episode 96: Bizarro World – Pavement
In an unusual turn of events, Lord Kev jauntily turns his gaze away from the pavement while the other Lords schlep along it instead. They can’t quite come to grips with the bent bottle cap that is Stephen Malkmus’ voice but goodness knows they try.

Summer school: Fall 103 - 50,000 amphibians can’t be wrong
Lord Kev's course concludes with his personal top tracks from the last 25 years and 250 albums by the esoteric post-punk band famously described as "always different, always the same".

It's the most wonderful time of the year, dear listeners! The Lords climb down your chimney, deliver their albums of the year and gift each other Secret Santa tracks.

Lord Ben drops another of his famed musical truth bombs claiming "There was only ever one punk band". The other lords grab their gas masks and take cover, scrambling for shreds of reason in a world gone mad.

Episode 93: Good Onya, Genre #2
The Lords are back to do a few more doughies in the Oz Music carpark. There are some heavyweights in this collection and the Lords ponder what makes an act truly Aussie: is it if you’re born here, move here, or just if you wear a pair of Stubbies now and then?

God bless little Billy and his Smashing Pumpkins. And his 'mellon collie' and his collie's infinite endless sadness. The lords break up this 90s classic into a leaner meaner version.
