Gold Soundz Podcast

Gold Soundz is back and talking about comebacks! Gareth and James discuss two important bands in their life -Weezer and Blur - that have staged returns. But were these returns welcome? And is ours for that matter?

This week, James and Gareth attempt to navigate the murky waters of internet outrage. There are a lot of musicians out there making stupid decisions (intentionally and unintentionally) and there isn't any getting away with it thanks to the ever-watching gaze of social media. Whether you're Jack White, Morrissey, Madonna or some intern over at NPR, as soon as you slip up, someone will be there to take you down. Join us, as we try to make sense of it all and throw in our 2 cents for good measure. Playlist: Ibeyi - Ghosts The Devinyls - Boys In Town Jack White - High Ball Stepper Madonna - Express Yourself Surfer Blood - Floating Vibes Morrissey - Bengali In Platforms Big Star - O My Soul @peace - Kill The Prime Minister Chet Faker - Talk Is Cheap Elvis Costello - Riot Act

Remember James' flippant comment from last episode about whether or not we'd still be listening to those albums in 10 years? No? Well we based this whole episode on it anyway! Joined as always by Gareth, the duo head back in time to relive their early 20's and the music that soundtracked that wonderful time. Turns out there is a lot of music from that time that is ripe for rediscovery. So jump aboard the Gold Soundz time machine and relive the days of indie rock and incessant hype. Playlist: Party Favor - Bap You Junior Senior - Can I Get Get Get The Futureheads - Carnival Kids Maximo Park - Apply Some Pressure Kings of Leon - King of the Rodeo Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Get Ready For Love MIA - Galang Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - The Skin of my Yellow Country Teeth
