It's Shrek 2, it's Katie, Holly & Conk. Before Conk moves out and leaves the gals alone and lonely, it's time they discussed the music of the greatest sequal of all time. MORE HEAT, LESS FOAM!

It's them pesky ol' Blues Brothers. They're raising money for the orphanage they grew up in and singing songs to make it happen. The phenomenal Gabbi Bolt joins Conk to chat the album and how it informed their introduction to music (AND COMEDY). Love it.

Bok and Roll. Johnny Cash has been going through a bit of a quiet period.. But he's off the drugs and wanting the next big thing to kickstart his career again. Perhaps a prison performance? Lauren Bok is here to discuss the incredible At Folsom Prison, the live album that is as much about the banter and vibe as it is the songs.

P!nk is sick of tired of being a white R&B singer. She's been horribly M!ssundaztood. It's time for her to right that wrong. WITH HOLLY BOHMER along for the ride. What joy, what fun. Love you lots.

Hot Dreams - Timber Timbre

THE highest selling album in Australia's history. THE Rebel Star. A Conk.
7 gargantuan tracks that sit 5 floors above over-the-top. A classic that took a LOT of convincing to get recorded and released. 
This episode may feature a phone call from a grandmother, a whole lot of Meat Loaf and a full rendition of a 7 minute track by Rebel and Conk. It's a fun one.

It's time to Let Go. The always predictable Bel Anderson Hunt shares more than one story of a song from this album being sung at someone to spite them. It's a real doozy.

The ninth of MANY MORE albums by The Mountain Goats. The wonderful Olly Lawrence introduces Conk to this iconic and prolific body of work and it is great.

Daft Punk's final album. With the finest comedian.

Stories of small towns in New South Wales, firm boundaries for music listening with families and open top driving in Los Angeles, this truly is an episode of Long Play.

It's just Conk! He's in Perth with no way of editing the podcats he has with him! How has this happened??? 
Conk shares some of his PERSONAL 1 hit wonders (Artists where, for some reason, he only listens to one of their songs and nothing else by them)

She rose. She fell. She's from the midwest (the eastern section of the United States of America). She's a princess. But what does Jackson Eather think about it all??? Is it the best pop debut of the last 20 years???????? Is it alllll rise???

Conk has definitive answers for this. And now so will you. So strap in, get knee deep in the passenger seat, and enjoy.

Jett ushers in the Little Dark Age. A monument to the 2 weeks in 2018 that Jett got into music in a really big way. MGMT (formally The Management????) are spending too long looking at their phone, love their friend James and think their partner is working out too much! What an album! Listen to Conk and Jett yack it up only on the latest episode of Long Play with Conk (this podcast ehhe).

That stuffy old geezer, Gerald from 47B, doesn't know good music when it hits him across the chest, displacing his ribs forever. 
HARDSTYLE. Jeromaia Detto throws Conk in the deep end, changing their life forever. Tinnitus is a condition that affects many people. 
You will be muzzing out HARD to this one. Enjopy responsibly.
