Oh i'm sorry, is this podcast about animal husbandry now? Because it seems like we're about to talk about some GOATS! They're gargantuan. They're monolithic. They're iconic. They're songs whose names you couldn't possibly mistake. They're the ones you know and love. They are... THE BIG TEN ...well, the first half of them anyway. SONGS COVERED: 10.

With our top ten episode still on the way- and kicking off with Jebediah- Adam has a chat with Jebediah's Kevin Mitchell (aka. Bob Evans). Exhibiting equal parts passion, humour and humility, Kevin generously discusses how he came to songwriting, what it was like to be in Jebediah, how Leaving Home came to be, how he was both encouraged and discouraged by some of the bands he toured with, what allowed him to stick with music for so long, what playing music is like now as well as sharing some mus...

This is the remix and we're remixing harder than ever before, baby- we're changing genres entirely. You'll still get our personal picks for the songs we'd have loved to hear in to the '97 countdown AND your feedback, but (proving this is the only podcast you could ever need) you'll also get to witness the birth of one legendary dwarf and friends. Roll up. We hope you enjoy the journey, but just in case you want to get straight to the usual stuff... Andrew's Pick: 14:11 Adam's Pick: 36:38 DJY's P...

Our beloved voting public; for a long time this podcast has been built on the solid foundations of nostalgia and brash opinions. But as we move into uncertain times, on the doorstep of 1997's top ten, we know that bold new leadership is needed- the kind of leadership that embraces self hatred, stands on basses, tells hung-over nannas to kiss our ass and lobs slice after slice of white bread towards those who stand against us. We don't want your respect. We just want your vote. SONGS COVERED: 1...

I kinda love the idea that someone is going to find this episode after searching for their favourite ancient Greek philosopher- and look, he does get a run, but this is mainly four guys talking about songs that teenagers loved twenty years ago.

When a single episode features a tie-in to one of the 90s' most iconic animated features, sharing a drink (or 5) with the Whitlams, a 10/10 horny song and not one but TWO EVERCLEAR TRACKS, it's pretty obvious that DJY is going to think it's a 'deadset clappy'- but are our other three hosts with him?
