Music Is None Of Our Business

We are Dave and Jake, two 60 year old music fans, and we take on a different theme per episode and pick five relevant songs each. We cover music from the 60's to now, and more or less any genre you can think of. From Punk to Pop, Reggae to Northern Soul, Drum N Bass to Ambient, if it's out there, we'll listen to it. Our best review ever said: "I love this podcast. My new favourite. Never heard Throbbing Gristle and Taylor Swift discussed in any depth in the same decade - let alone in the same conversation."

We go through our Top 10s of 2025, with detours into overpriced records and merch, a rambling explanation of Hauntology, rating Jake's jokes out of 10 and the usual old rubbish.
Dec 5
We discuss some amazing gigs we've been to as well as moaning about the distress of having to change trains at our age, falling over as opposed to having a fall, time travel via extreme volume and all of the usual shenanigans.
Nov 25
We each pick 5 songs that we really, really like. That's a nice simple one. We also cover Jive Bunny, band names with swear words in them and whether it's appropriate to use said swear words, while obviously using them, rubbish remixes and lots more pointless old rubbish.
Nov 17
We pick some of our favourite male voices. We also discuss singing with an accent, gravelly voices, the role of wankiness in Prog rock, along with the usual sophisticated humour and discourse you've come to expect.
Nov 7
We compile some of our favourite cover versions. There are also obscure Kids TV references, saving the world from alien invasion via the medium of bad karaoke, plus the usual going off on tangents, bad jokes, amnesia and general lack of professionalism.
Oct 30
We reminisce about 1997. Dave almost finishes a sentence, Jake is as erudite as ever. There are Marianne Faithfull cards making a racket, forgotten gigs, at least one reasonably funny joke, an astounding amount of Instagram views and all the usual mishaps.
Oct 17
We compile some of our favourite female fronted bands. Jake reveals he can speak Icelandic, Dave get's the title of one of his favourite LPs wrong. Twice! And doesn't even notice. Amateur! There's chortling, chuckling and at least one guffaw.
Oct 5
We investigate the musically fruitful year of 1989. Dave's memory proves as reliable as ever, Jake get's a new DJ moniker.
