It’s another barely-controlled episode as we tackle Ash’s 1977: part Britpop nostalgia, part forensic Wikipedia investigation. We discuss what melisma is (with a Beyoncé impression you won’t soon forget), why half the world has never heard of The Wildhearts, and the challenges of figuring out exactly what’s on an album when even the band can’t be bothered to send a proper tracklist.
There’s music theory, sort of. There’s podcast admin, if you’re into that. And there’s a group laugh breakdown that lasts longer than some Ash singles.
Come for the facts, stay for the confused riffing, and enjoy the kind of musical insight you can only get when two people openly admit they’re winging it.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
