Well, that return last year didn't turn out quite like we planned but we're back now baby! As we promised nearly 10 months ago we're aptly back talking the juggernaut that is AC/DC's 'Back in Black'. One of the top-selling albums of all time and the band's first album after the death of front-man Bon Scott, there's much to play for here.

Adam and Mike, sit down to unpick the album's deep penetrating metaphors. What could the band be saying? Something about death? Something Brian Johnson's Johnson? Penis pleasure? Tallywackers? Tallywackers played by guitars? What could they mean? Join us once more as we work it all out.

It's good to be back.

Welcome to Pop Tarts, Men of No Consequence's lovely bonus show, which comes at no extra cost to you dear listener.

Here's the scoop, Adam loves a good music biography, auto or otherwise. Pop Tarts offers us an insight into his opinions on these tomes.

For the first installment he has picked Talking Heads and Tom Tom Club drummer Chris Frantz's autobiography 'Remain in Love: Talking Heads, Tom Tom Club, Tina'. By the sounds of it, the man loves his wife, good for him.

We may have re-branded but there's the small matter of finishing off work started on The Listening Party. Welcome to part two of our dive into the James Bond themes, taking us from the mid-1980s to the present day. Come hear tales of drunk brummies getting boozed with John Barry, Pierce Brosnan's contractual tomfoolery, Scott Walker's chastisement of the Bond producers, and Mike's miscomprehension of how Christmas works. If you'd like to keep up with what we're talking about, here's the tracklist:

• Duran Duran - 'A View to a Kill'
• a-ha - 'The Living Daylights'
• Gladys Knight - 'Licence to Kill'
