19 - Blur (w/ Lizzy from Hits 21)

APPLES AND PEARS AND VARIOUS OTHER FRUIT.

Podcast veteran and Hits 21 co-host Lizzy & I celebrate the turn of a new year (and the release of a new album) by recounting the ballad of "Seymour" from Barrett-echoing bargain bin baggy, through “Middle Class” Britpop and eclectic proto-Hail to the Thief noise pop to a broken speaker on Mars.

What album proved so controversial it made one of the hosts watch a racist episode of Star Trek? And that one with the horny virus (only if you’re a woman – the men just sweat a bit).

How many new ways can be found to say The Great Escape is underwhelming?

How would Lizzy deal with the possibility of alien contact?

Did that pigtail woman from Moonraker have braces or not?

At least 75% of these inquiries will be answered with approx. 60% certainty in this Westwastic edition of In Five.
