FIVE FROM SEVENS AND TWELVES
Our hosts, Dave and Mark, are two music obsessives who first met in 2008 at the community radio station RTRFM 92.1 in Perth, Western Australia. Bonding over a love of post punk and other alternative music genres, they soon began making music together and are still heavily involved in the city's fertile local music scene. They also like nothing more than a yarn about music, and their favourite (or not so favourite) bands. These conversations are often amusing, sometimes serious and occasionally, potentially libellous. Thus, the idea for this podcast was born. Each episode the lads choose a theme and each select five songs to explore the topic. The show is free flowing and so the facts are sometimes hazy and the chat can go in any direction. This is not your typical music show.
FIVE FROM SEVENS AND TWELVES
2016 - Was James Acaster right ?
In 2017 comedian James Acaster had a breakdown. This followed the end of his relationship with his long term partner and also his manager. He sort solace by immersing himself in the music of 2016, leading to him strongly believing that 2016 was the greatest year for music ever, amassing over 700 albums to prove it. We explore this claim and answer the question, was it really the best year for music ever?
