Pumpkins still smashing? A Sunhouse trip for autumn. From Me To You Two.

Episode 28

Friday, November 1, 2024 • Duration 26:20

In this week’s episode of the Plural Pod, it’s the latest instalment of ‘From Me To You’. The format is nice and straightforward: Joel picks an album for Gareth that he’s never heard before and Gareth picks an album for Joel that he’s never heard before. After some intensive listening, they reconvene to share their thoughts. That conversation is what you can hear in today’s podcast. Gareth’s been listening to The Smashing Pumpkins’ ‘Siamese Dream’, while Joel has wrapped his ears around Sunhouse’s ‘Crazy On The Weekend’. But how did they find them? Hit play to find out.

Episode 23

Friday, September 27, 2024 • Duration 12:01

It’s an abbreviated episode of the Plural Pod this week. As a result of what we’ll call ‘factors’, it wasn’t possible to review a full range of titles. So, you get a Blue Note Classic from Gareth and a belting bit of vintage British psych-folk from Joel. Thankfully, Tom from Cheap Indie Vinyl is on hand with bargains, reporting from a rain-soaked car park in the north. All your usual favourite features will return next week, with a new Hello From The Shop Floor, listener correspondence and a normal sized set of reviews.
