The Big Mates discuss Avril Lavigne, Stewie Griffin, Duran Duran, and Favourite Worst Nightmare by Arctic Monkeys. Adam, Steve, and Lucas begin their dissection of the band's follow up to the hugely successful debut by talking about awards ceremonies, the mounting pressure they must have felt, and the attitude going into the creation of the record. They discuss the writing, rehearsal, and recording of the album, explore the overall themes and sound, and begin their track-by-track analysis, exploring the composition, tone, lyrics, meaning, and context for each song in turn - all from three differing perspectives, from being deeply into music and analysis, to not caring for art or critique, and everything in between!How did the band expand their sound? How do you eat a creme egg? Will Arctic Monkeys take our advice on what to do after their first album? Find out on this episode of What Is Music?Our next episode is out next week, Monday July 21st, and will continue the deep-dive into Favourite Worst Nightmare!Join the conversation on:Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/whatismusicpod.bsky.socialThreads: https://www.threads.net/@whatismusicpodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatismusicpodE-mail: whatismusicpod@gmail.comGet access to more shows, exclusive bonus content, ad-free episodes of this show, and more music discussion by subscribing to our Patreon!Head to patreon.com/whatismusicpod and receive up to two new episodes of our various shows every week (including our album club and monthly themed playlists!), ad-free archives of What Is Music?, and access to our Patron-only Discord server for even more music (and non-music) discussion!Support our show when starting your own podcast!By signing up to Buzzsprout with this link: https://www.buzzsprout.com/?referrer_id=780379Check out our merch!https://whatismusicpod.redbubble.comDonate to our podcast!https://ko-fi.com/whatismusichttp://whatismusic.buzzsprout.com/Support the show

Nicole Kobie joins to discuss The Long History of the Future, so the third hour of this week's AM takes a bit of a retro-futurist detour. Outside of that you have a tribute to the late Lalo Schifrin, and your usual AM mix of jangle-pop, ambient, jazz, post-rock, and experimental sounds, somehow cohering into a hopefully pleasant soundtrack to your Monday morning.Playlist: Shrunken Elvis - An Old OutletBlue Lake - Cut Paperoono yuuki band - Michi No YureiJoseph Shabason, Nicholas Krgovich, Tenniscoats - Our DetourJeremiah Chiu, Marta Sofia Honer - Speaking in ParallelMari Kvien Brunvoll, Stein Urheim, Moskus - AgadedaMog - CanonTim Hecker - IcesynthRival Consoles - Drum SongVarious Artists, featuring Verticalpark - ArrivalGhost Cartridge, Mantrakid - Narshe Cliffsgreat area - Here's Something For Your Morning CommuteThe Reds Pinks and Purples - Slow Torture of an Hourly WageBibi Club - Le feu IIPopulation II - Le thé est prêtModern Nature - SourceLalo Schifrin - The Blues for Johann SebastianLalo Schifrin - Old LacesTrio Cajueiro - Lua RosaEmpanadas Ilegales - Bailecito de MORDMarco Benevento - These DaysOrange Crate Art - The Umbrella ManPocket Pavilions - Expo Transit SystemMonroeville Music Center - Preparatifs dans la Salle de RedactionThe Organizing Committee - We Have Never Been ModernMandrake Handshake - Time Goes UpHong Kong in the 60s - DiarylandBiche - Le CodeTOPS - Falling On My Swordwasmarkhere - Stay Right HereTortoise - Oganesson - Broken Social Scene RemixMansur Brown - Faded

Every album is important to every band, but some have greater impact than others. Look no further than the Sweet Lizzy Project (www.sweetlizzyproject.com). The now Nashville-based band's first album Heaven, was released 10 years ago this year and literally changed their lives. Recorded in a humble studio in Havana, Cuba, Heaven ended up in the hands of Raul Malo, lead singer/songwriter for the Miami-based Americana band the Mavericks as he was scouting bands and locations to film the 2017 PBS special Havana Time Machine. One listen and Raul not only included the band in the special, but also brought them to the US. In this episode, Sweet Lizzy Project lead singer Lisset Diaz makes a return appearance to discuss Heaven, which the band is rereleasing to celebrate its 10-year anniversary. Join me as Lisset recounts how a part-time hobby turned into an album that uprooted and changed their lives. It can be cliché to say that music changes lives, but Lisset and her band are living proof. Dig in!

Making a Scene Presents Gerry Casey's Interview with Scarlet GoodbyeThe Scarlet Goodbye is what happens when two seasoned Minnesota musicians—Dan Murphy and Jeff Arundel—cross creative paths and spark something unexpected. Dan, known for his work with alt-rock legends Soul Asylum and Golden Smog, met Jeff, a smooth-voiced singer-songwriter and producer, by chance. That meeting led them to an attic studio in St. Paul, where they started writing and recording together. The result was Hopes Eternal, a record that blends gritty rock and thoughtful Americana—think somewhere between the Rolling Stones and Townes Van Zandt. The album dropped in 2023 on The Label Group/Universal and quickly became one of the most talked-about releases of the year, earning rave reviews and fueling a run of standout shows across the Midwest. http://www.makingascene.org

Steven and Ian open with a conversation about the precarious state of drummers in 2025, with a rash of retirements and firings (1:28). Then they pivot to a conversation about the return of Oasis, and how Steven hopes to see them in London in a few weeks (9:10). They move on to the new album announcement from Geese, the jammy psych-rock band poised to have a big year (16:26). They also touch on the Fantasy Album Draft, which this week features the latest record from Wet Leg (26:30). Then they discuss the LA band Lord Huron, who is secretly one of the most popular indie-rock acts around, with one song that's been streamed more than 3 billion times (34:19).In Recommendation Corner, Ian talks about the emo band My Point Of You and Steven stumps for the Detroit outfit Neu Blume.New episodes of Indiecast drop every Friday.

Then they dive into the outcry from Lorde fans about the faulty "transparent" CD edition of her latest album, Virgin (3:36).

They also talk about the recent Glastonbury Festival and speculate on why European music festivals look so much more fun than American ones (22:11). Finally, they do the Q3 Fantasy Albums Draft, and talk about some of the most anticipated releases of the next three months (33:50).New episodes of Indiecast drop every Friday.
