We hope you're still able to Enjoy A Podcast *** Twitter King and cinemaphile stand-up Chris Thorburn joins Liam Withnail and Christopher Macarthur-Boyd for this week’s episode of Enjoy An Album where they listened to I’M WIDE AWAKE, IT’S MORNING by BRIGHT EYES.

As a stop-gap measure - due to a technical mishap - this week’s public episode is from the ENJOY AN ALBUM For Ultras Only vault: “SING WHEN YOU’RE WINNING” by Stoke-on-Trent’s prodigal son ROBBIE WILLIAMS! Originally released on January 31st 2023, this episode is one of the bi-monthly Ultra exclusive episodes alongside episodes on albums like “The Black Parade” by My Chemical Romance, “-” by Ed Sheeran, “Permission To Land” by The Darkness, and many more. 

The composer of seventy-three U.S. (and fifty-two U.K.!) top 40 hits, Burt Bacharach is hailed by such commentators as William Farina and Noel Gallagher as one of the greatest songwriters of all time. The god of jazzy bossa nova-inflected “easy listening” wrote banger after banger for artists such as Tom Jones, Dionne Warwick, Perry Como, Dusty Springfield and, of course, Cilla Black. He also appeared in every instalment of Mike Myer’s comedic film franchise Austin Powers, including Goldmember and The Spy Who Shagged Me. 

Aberdonian stand-up comedian and record store clerk John Aggasild joins us for a classic ep, with every feature from Tattoo Woohoo/Tattoo Boohoo, Secret Posho, and even a return to Dreamsleeves, as well as a few features of his own. Enjoy!

Amelia Bayler (nu-rave snack food expert, stand-up comedian and pop-star in her own right) comes on the podcast to discuss the dance-rock opus MYTHS OF THE NEAR FUTURE by KLAXONS. Named after a collection of short stories by sci-fi futurist J.G. Ballard, this record won the Mercury Music Prize with its winning blend of rave music and time-travelling lyricism that blew Klaxons up, leading to such feats as being on the soundtrack to Gran Turismo 5 Prologue for the Playstation 3. 

This week Christopher Macarthur-Boyd, Liam Withnail and Amelia Bayler listened to it and now they’re going to talk about it. They shot on everything from Ministry of Sound to Skins parties and the evolution of indie’s relationship to dance music.

Christopher and Liam rope Marc Jennings of the Some Laugh podcast into coming on the show to discuss Marshall Mathers’ third full-length record, THE EMINEM SHOW. Regarded by many as the last in a triptych of near-perfect albums by the 8 Mile-starring rapper, we did a deep dive on an album that defined the childhoods for wee guys born in the 90s, and discuss the shock culture of the time.

The Enjoy An Album boys talk about everything from Mariah Carey’s voicemails to the soundtrack to the Sony Pictures film Venom (2018) as well as Tattoo Woohoo/Tattoo Boohoo, Dreamsleeves, Secret Posho, Unhinged YouTube Comment of the Week, and somehow, The Bette Midler Factor returns. Enjoy!

Christopher and Liam listened to the new record by LANA DEL REY, and now they’re going to talk about it. Initially dismissed by the hipster cognoscenti as an industry plant and weathered by controversy, Elizabeth Grant’s nine-album spree of immaculate all-American art-pop has defied expectation and served gunt for over a decade. DID YOU KNOW THAT THERE’S A TUNNEL UNDER OCEAN BLVD has guest appearances out the wazoo, but really shines when it dives deeper into the blur between Lana’s persona and Lana’s person. 

The Enjoy An Album boys talk about everything from Video Games to Lana’s time spent in Glasgow in 2013 when she bought some morning rolls from the Co-Op in Shawlands. Tattoo Woohoo/Tattoo Boohoo, Dreamsleeves, Secret Posho, Unhinged YouTube Comment of the Week, and so much more. Enjoy!
