The second album from American singer Phoebe Bridgers was Billy's lockdown album, listened to while on long dog walks while coping with the enforced lack of a social life. And it's a thread we followed from last week's episode on Elliot Smith as Phoebe Bridgers is a self confessed fan and his work inspires hers.

Bill and Martin discuss whether music about depression needs to be sad and the difference between a recording and a song.

In at attempt to recapture lightning in a bottle we seek out another American singer songwriter with a great reputation and a tragic death - although we didn't really know about the death bit when we made the choice. Elliot Smith came to prominence when his songs were used in the soundtrack for Good Will Hunting, resulting in an Oscar nomination. This album is widely regarded as his finest accomplishment - we're saying approach with caution or find yourself a college dorm to cry in for the full Elliot Smith experience.

RETRO AAP!

Billy is away so we're taking a short break from new episodes, but here's one from way back in 2022 that you may have missed or forgotten. We'll be back soon!

In this special selection episode, its Miles's choice and he's gone for the 1979 disco classic from the king of pop. Off the Wall is Michael Jackson's first "proper" solo record having separated from Motown and The Jackson 5 franchise. Teaming up with Quincy Jones for the first time, this album is wall to wall hits and paved the way for a career that remains unsurpassed in commercial success.

We know Miles loves it - join the rest of the crew as Billy, Martin and special guest Sid O'Brien decide if this deserves it's place among the greatest albums of all time.
