Music Sounds Better With Two – Details, episodes & analysis

Hey guys! Well here we are with the 4th instalment of the blink story. The first of 2 instalments on life post blink. We're taking you back to 2006 where a freshly divorced blink-182 both find themselves in new relationships, +44 and Angels and Airwaves respectively. We dive into the debut, and to this day only, album by +44 "When Your Heart Stops Beating." We explore the dark, lyrical content of No, it isn't including an annotated spoken word performance from J and I as we slowly lose "our brains". We then compare and contrast it to the AvA debut "We Don't Need To Whisper". So come along and enjoy some blink chat as well as life updates, drinking alcohol and sex dream analysis apparently. This isn't just goodbye. This is we can't stand you. (Jokes jokes. We love you all).

Hey guys! We've got some X-tra Factor for you. We're back with Cristina for some extra content. Our reality pop music chat got so deep and off piste that we created an X-Factor chaser. In this episode we voice our opinions freely on how these music shows affected all of our lives and changed the music industry forever. It gave the public a power they had never had before that we unfortunately, more often than not, abused. We catapulted these ordinary people into the spotlight without the appropriate support and we abandoned them when we were all done. This has then caused a hangover into the new Gen Z generation on the platforms of tik tok influencers. We discuss cancel culture, what we thought of as "normal", mental health, the death of the paparazzi and the birth of us becoming the press. These are all our opinions and we appreciate all your input too so please join the conversation with respectful love or hate please.

Hello there, the angels from our nightmares. This week we are continuing the blink journey into their most creative and swoopy haired era, the Untitled album (2003). We watch the MTV Launch documentary following the creative process of the album and do some deep dives on the artistic nuances on this masterpiece. Did 'I Miss You' cause an entire generation to dye their hair black, swoop their fringe and pierce their lip? Most likely. Come on in and relive the trauma with us as we head towards the first dissolution of the band in 2005.

Hey friends! This week we took a Podcast trip to York and experienced opera for the first time. J got emotional. I remained emotionless. Standard. So pop on your opera glasses (are they still a thing? We never had any. That's sad) and join us for an evening of classical music and operatic vocals which comprise of one line being sang 15 different ways in the space of 20 minutes apparently. J provides beautiful in depth analysis and is proper committed to becoming a full time opera fan now so hit her up if you want to join her operatic society. J & N xoxo.

Hey friends! We're back for season 3. This week we interview someone from inside the local band scene in Glasgow (and Dumbarton) for the past 20 years, a real 'Rock 'n' Roll Star', who also happens to be my brother. He shares stories about the music that inspired him to pick up a guitar (now bass), stories from life on the road in his bands The Haze and Holy Pistol Club, and what it was like being part of a local band scene in the 00's. Listen to find out what happened to Noel Gallagher's towel, antics on a Mötley Crüe tour bus and a failed attempt at returning a tambourine and many more ridiculous stories from inside the music industry. Holy Pistol Club are hopefully going to be returning to a gig venue near you soon. And until then they're available on Spotify just like us. Stay tuned. Big thanks to J who somehow managed to edit my bro and I's ramblings.

Hey friends! Join us as we wave goodbye to season 2 and prepare to find all new nostalgia madness to torture you with next season. Let's rewind back to nonsense lyrics, double dose of Hamilfanning, getting raging at Britney's conservatorship x2 and our loveletter from the great outdoors and at being allowed to be with each other across more than a zoom screen. Long may it continue in season 3. See you soon for S3. J & N xoxo

Hey friends welcome to our narcissistic collection of best bits from season 2. We take you right back to conspiracies: is Paul dead? Is Tom DeLonge IN the stars? Unsolved. Then we're bringing you good critesen bois, the blinkisode continues and we're bringing you into an 80's/90's nostalgia aural hellscape in TV themes. See y'all back here for part 2. J & N

Hey friends! Welcome to the free flowing (literally) impromptu finale of season 2 from the great outdoors. Listen to the calming ebb and flow of scummy polluted water alongside the erratic flow of our conversation as we regale you with some life updates and plans for the future. Listen out for the random swimmers blowing on a conch shell for some reason and some angry crows too. Take care guys and we'll see you in season 3. Thanks for your continued support and kindness.

Hey friends! This week we discuss artists/gig experiences that touched our souls in ways no one else could. Julie discusses her deep, biased unapologetic love of the super talented Owen Pallett. Why play a violin with a bow when you can blow through it? And I talk about a beautiful spiritual experience I had at a Bruce Springsteen gig that healed me in places I hadn't even realised I needed healed. Unexpected emotional connections are very adorable and wholesome and we'd love to hear yours too. Take care guys.

Hey friends! We're back refreshed after a lil' break and while we were gone some things happened in the world. Things that we felt we'd like to and should talk about. Firstly, we discuss the latest developments in the Britney Spears conservatorship honestly and openly and sensitively as always. Which then leads us into the horrible mucky, innards of the pop machine once more. Why are we obsessed with making narratives out of people we don't know's lives? Turns out we're all in a massive conservatorship with the pop machine and J and I unapologetically will not stop coming for it. Celebrities that open their lives up to us, willingly or unwillingly, all pay a price. Which leads us on to a recent development close to my, and now J's heart, Mark Hoppus' recent public announcement of his cancer diagnosis/treatment. We talk about the uncomfortable questions some of his twitch stream fans asked on his latest stream regarding this and we get a bit angry and protective over Mark and we won't apologise for it. Just let him do his NY times crossword in peace please. Lastly, we both went slightly mad and watched old clips from the Masked Magician. So as some light comic relief after all that enjoy our commentary on the sexual innuendo laden, hidden wires riddled Masked Magician 20 years on.
