Podcast Description
Like two old soaks chatting by the fire, Trick and Tom swap songs, talking with passion and insight about the music they love, both new and old. Uncovering music you may have missed is usually the order of the day, with "but I bet you've not heard this..." being an oft-muttered sentence. Anything from doo-wop to gospel, punk to dub is pulled out for consideration, with the sole hope of having you wanting to look up these artists when the show's over.

ExplicitShow #78 (Jan.’12) | This week we pay respects to Jimmy Castor, revisit the jazz fusion debate via some Miles Davis, drop some properly dirty dub courtesy of Bully alumni Carlo, drop large bass with Orange Hill & Hint and argue over whether Savoy Brown is "loose 70s rock" or just funk. Go get some. | 18 1 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitShow #77 (Jan.’12) | I was going to write a florid description for this show, but our listener @MarianneStephen said everything that needs to be said with this tweet: "Just turned up & it's all about zombie porn. That track sounded pretty groovy to me tho. Now some mum jazz (!) - nice one!" Indeed. | 11 1 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitShow #76 (Dec.’11) AKA The 2011 Christmas Special | So here it is people: our 2011 Christmas Special. Sporting a Trick in a festive mood and a Tom feeling positively curmudgeonly, we roll out another selection of Christmas-themed treats traversing the lesser-trodden paths that take in anything from the Rhythm & Blues classics of The Debonaires and post-punk of Steel Leg through to the outright creepiness of Pac-Man and straight-up funk of Binky Griptite. Take a listen by the fire with a cup of eggnog. | 19 12 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitShow #75 (Nov.’11) | Its a stellar selection this week (if we say so ourselves) as we drop old-style beats of the J Saul Kane variety in the shape of Red Ninja, get rootsy with The Band covering Marvin Gaye, check Beck channelling Prince's slowjams, deliver sun-splashed dancehall with Spice & Pinchers and... just a whole load more. Go get some - this one's a keeper. | 30 11 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitShow #74 (Nov.’11) | This week we kickstart with some '99 DnB courtesy of Ram Trilogy, then tour acoustic sounds courtesy of Violent Femmes, Infesticons and Hopi-influenced jazz, taking in some dark technoid breakbeats courtesy of Porter Ricks VS Techno Animal, 60's Cali-Valley vibes from Jack Nitzsche and the straight-up beauty of Sufjan Stevens. Go get some. | 23 11 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitShow #73 (Nov.’11) | Its a belter of a show this week as we tour old-style human beatbox tracks, celebrate Brandy's finest cut, deliver wub-wub bass classics from yesteryear and discuss just what imagery comes to mind when listening to Scrimshire. As if that isn't enough we also discuss those glorious lost nuggets of music and movies from the pre-web years and pay tribute to Heavy D. This one's a keeper, trust us. | 9 11 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitShow #72 (Nov.’11) | This week we trip through psychedelic oscillators and jazz-punk, the songwriting and production genius of Brian Wilson, The Rapture's sleigh bells Phil Spector moment, Juke-joint R&B, Moroder-esque arpeggio and the timeless brilliance of one of Trick's favourite bands: Slayer. 72 shows down and only now do we get Slayer.

ExplicitShow #71 (Oct.’11) | For a while now we've contemplated a special where we switched from music you may not have heard to music you have quite probably heard a hell of a lot via commercial radio, TV and more. Yes, this is our Pop Special, drawing on anything from 10cc to Fergie to deliver our personal favourites that have graced the charts in the last 50 years. From the glorious production Brian Wilson (laid bare via an instrumental version of "Wouldn't It Be Nice") to the intricacies of freestyle electro in Madonna's "Into The Groove", we tour all that is good in pop. Dirty word? Not here. Enjoy! | 27 10 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitShow #70 (Oct.’11) | You're no doubt well aware we like a bit of a chat here at Trick & Tom HQ, so when we're visited by equally chatty folk, we couldn't be happier. Or at least we thought we couldn't until we were joined by Queen Of The Rapping Scene and former Techno Twin, Bev Sage. Yes, add to the chat the accolade of being the 1st ever female UK MC on vinyl, having performed on the Monty Python song "Every Sperm Is Sacred" and an amazing back catalogue of new wave and synth pop, and we really couldn't be happier. Couple that with Trick delving into the worlds of power and dream-pop and a brief nod to the late great Ari Up and I think you'll agree this is a proper pearl of a show. | 19 10 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitShow #69 (Oct.’11) | This week we divide the show into two halves, just to keep things interesting. Tom helms part one with an overview of Cliff Martinez, the former Chili Pepper and Magic Band member turned film composer. Part Two sees Trick paying respects back to the Irish music and the Hard Working Class Heroes event in Dublin with a selection of tracks from there, covering the electronic pop of Tieranniesaur, the indie disco lushness of Little X's For Eyes, the hypercompression of Moths and the head-nodding grooves of Toby Kaar. Ireland, this one's for you! | 12 10 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Wunderbar!
Excellent podcast for anyone keen to educate their musical pallette - play everything from Mountain (oh yes!) to Eddie Murphy and cover the many musical points in between - download now!!!!
Lovely stuff x
Good work fellas. A fine mix of insightful/humorous muso chat and amazing music. I've discovered loads of old and new artists through this show... themed shows and guests keep the format fresh too. Surely it's about time Kid Creole got an airing though?
Mr trick and wrong cd?
Love the show guys. I am always waiting for errors in the track selection. Reminds me of the good old john peel days. Keep the broadcasts coming. Rather spiffing.
