Noel's Chemical Effluence vs Black Roof !!!
Hit The North vs Taurig !!!
The Walker, The host, DB & Stu descend once more into the ruins...
T'neet the lads shovel through another mound of glorious nonsense as Noel's Chemical Effluence squares up against Black Roof, while Hit The North takes on Taurig in a battle that may or may not permanently alter the chemical balance of the North West.
Featuring the usual reckless diversions, dubious scholarship, and several opinions that should probably have remained indoors.
Winner stays on, loser gets covered in effluence.

T'neet! B, DB and Al take a deep dive into Captain Beefheart's The Spotlight Kid and Clear Spot—two albums that still split opinion among fans. Coming after the wild, angular chaos of Trout Mask Replica and Lick My Decals Off, Baby, Beefheart dialled back some of the avant-garde madness in favour of heavier grooves, tighter songs and a slightly more approachable sound. For some, that made these records a disappointment. For others, it was a beautiful left turn that produced some of the finest music he ever recorded.
The lads rank every song from both albums: I'm Gonna Booglarize You Baby, White Jam, Blabber 'n Smoke, When It Blows Its Stacks, Alice in Blunderland, The Spotlight Kid, Click Clack, Grow Fins, There Ain't No Santa Claus on the Evenin' Stage, Glider, Low Yo Yo Stuff, Nowadays a Woman's Gotta Hit a Man, Too Much Time, Circumstances, My Head Is My Only House Unless It Rains, Sun Zoom Spark, Clear Spot, Crazy Little Thing, Long Neck Bottles, Her Eyes Are a Blue Million Miles, Big Eyed Beans from Venus and Golden Birdies.
Expect strong opinions, a few surprises, plenty of praise for the Magic Band, and the usual disagreements as they try to put 22 great songs into some kind of order. 🎙️🐟

T'neet. The genius follow-up to Trout Mask Replica that is "Lick My Decals Off, Baby." Is it a mature Don, or a man all at sea?
All of its tracks are pored over, discussed, and ranked alongside those from the somewhat cash-in Mirror Man Sessions which, while technically a fifth LP, was a world away from where Don and the Magic Band were at the time.
Join DB, AL, and Brendan as they decide which tracks from Decals and Mirror Man deserve to make it into the final 32 head-to-head showdown, all in an effort to declare, once and for all:
What is the greatest Beefheart track of all time?
