    #024 Midnight Oil 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
    Feb 27 2021
    In this chilling adventure our heroes are faced with their most daunting task yet. The much talked about, much revered, and much fanboyed over Midnight Oil are stepping up to run A Sound Purchase’s gauntlet. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 by Midnight Oil was released in 1982 and saw the pub rock band from Australia turn a sonic corner as they began to incorporate English post-punk features into their unique Aussie sound. Stefan has made a huge deal out of the power of their live performance, but will Jake agree that 10-1 by Midnight Oil is a sound purchase? Of course throughout the episode, they bring their warped sense of humour and plenty of laughs.

    Feb 2 2021
    In this episode our heroes discuss the alt rock universe of Virginia based multi-instrumentalist Mark Linkous, who went by the stage name of Sparklehorse. His 1995 debut ‘Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot’ was well received and had echoes of Tom Waits, Flaming Lips and Pixies. Of course throughout the episode, they bring their warped sense of humour and end up in a laughing fit about a man obsessing over tape loops that sound like trains.

  • #021 Steely Dan Aja

    #021 Steely Dan Aja
    Jan 16 2021
    In this episode the guys recruit help from Jack, their newly minted Jazz Correspondent, to help them determine whether Aja by Steely Dan is a sound purchase or not. Along the way they discuss session musicians, the notorious James Brown PCP interview and of course… Jazz. Disclaimer: Stefan, being Stefan, neglected to read the instructions to his new recorder and well, you can probably guess the rest! The sound quality of this episode is not great, although we had so much fun recording this episode that we thought we needed to share it anyway.

    #020 2020 Wrap Up and Awards
    Dec 31 2020
    In this episode, our heroes babble, bicker and ballyhoo about their favourite records and tracks from the bizarre year that has been 2020. Tossing awards for album and track of the year (within albums studied for A Sound Purchase); and album and track from the year in general. Also on the episode, the guys discuss their favourite holiday hits so that you may attempt to avoid Mariah, Wham! and all of the other overused christmas hits. Due to the late arrival of this episode, you have missed the warning for this year’s festive season, although consider yourself warned early for next year!

  • #019 Top 10 Nu-Metal Albums

    #019 Top 10 Nu-Metal Albums
    Dec 19 2020
    In this episode the guys argue, fight and bicker about their beloved genre of nu-metal; all in hope of bringing you the definitive top 10 list of nu-metal albums. They discuss the genre that became so familiar to them, that it grew to be a pseudo parent, always there to celebrate the highs and embrace the lows. Following the predetermined format, the guys each chose their top 5 albums and then began to face off their choices, just like Travolta and Cage (with less headbanging in priest uniforms). Who takes this one out? Who is crowned champion? Can the guys even decide on a victor?!

    #018 Silverchair Neon Ballroom (with Daniel Hedger)
    Dec 12 2020
    In this episode the guys break down the 1999 album by Aussie rockers Silverchair. A band of high school buddies who found critical acclaim with their debut record, when they were only fifteen; sending a message to all of us that we could achieve our dreams also. Neon Ballroom was a reaction record that saw the band overcome; high school bullying; anxiety; anorexia; and worst of all the critics that wanted to hear 'tomorrow: part 2'. To help him win Jake over on the record, Stefan has enlisted the help of Daniel Hedger, the host of ‘too much is not enough: a Silverchair podcast’. Amongst the music and along the way they discuss the classic sibling rivalry between New Zealand and Australia; Toxic Masculinity; the importance of Mental Health; and the dubious origins of the flat white.

    Nov 28 2020
    In this episode Jake is trying to convince Stefan on the pure pop prowess of Justin Timberlake. To help him in this monumental task; Jake has enlisted the help of Pop Correspondent, Brendan. We’ve all heard the singles and pranced to the hits, but how deep have we gone deep diving on this record before? Have we heard the album tracks? Have we heard the stories of songs being offered to Michael Jackson and Kylie Minogue, who turned the monster hits down. As always you can show your support for the show by leaving a review, liking, subscribing and sharing with your friends. Word of mouth is still the strongest way to help us grow the podcast and explore even more iconic recordings.
