OneFourOne Presents: Old Mansion

In their first festive show, Teddy and Conor discuss contemporary Christmas offerings from Arcade Fire and Sufjan Stevens. A special Christmas-themed playlist celebrates the best of festive music, including deep cuts from Prince, Snoop Dogg, Run DMC and John Mayer.

In the fourth episode of Old Mansion, Teddy's barely alive. He talks us through his experience at Meredith Music Festival and the acts he caught, waxing some on the importance of live performance in shaping his musical tastes. Conor considers Jaden Smith's debut album, SYRE, whilst Teddy discusses the viral debut from Australian newcomers The Teskey Brothers.

In the third episode of Old Mansion, strange things are afoot in the music world. The Vans Warped Tour is finally coming to an end - Conor and Ted discuss the legacy it leaves behind in acts such as Paramore, My Chemical Romance and Green Day. Eminem followed up on his BET cypher with a percussionless single, which only stokes speculation about his place in modern hip hop. Finally, Neil Young's new online archive sounds interesting.

In the second episode of Old Mansion, Teddy and Conor talk a little about the OneFourOne collective, discuss music personalities Weird Al and Willie Nelson and try to guess songs based off split-second fragments. Teddy's album of the week is Willie Nelson's Red Headed Stranger (1975) whilst Conor's is King Geedorah's Take Me To Your Leader (2003). The weekly playlist includes Tears for Fears, Nina Simone, Chromeo and Sufjan Stevens.

In the first episode of Old Mansion, Teddy and Conor discuss political discourse in music – specifically Eminem’s Trump diss at the BET Awards – as well as the infamous “wardrobe malfunction” that prematurely killed Janet Jackson’s career. Albums of the week are Syd’s Always Never Home (2017) and Vulfpeck’s Thrill Of The Arts (2015), and the episode’s ten-track playlist includes acts like Charles Bradley, Alex Lahey and Kevin Abstract.
