This is a seminal album for me. A lot of my love of music stemmed from listening to #ManicStreetPreachers' Everything Must Go. It was an absolute pleasure to chat about it with @mattjlatham.bsky.social on the latest episode of @pickadisc.bsky.social!

I've been musing about creating a Discord for Ask Us About Loom, because the Internet needs another discord server. But inspired by the Save Your Game/Mutant Menace joint server I've just extended the @pickadisc.bsky.social one to have channels for the podcast!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

We've got two special festive episodes for you this month.

11th Dec - Our annual Shipwrecked Smeg Ups
18th Dec - Christmas Carol - The Movie

Every year in the days at the end of the year, I do five daily minisodes where I talk about my favourite albums of the year. I didn't do it last year, but I want to do it again this year. So from the 27th December to the 31st, you'll be getting daily amounts of short Pick A Disc episodes. You lucky people. But also, I'd love to hear from you. As always I'd love short contributions from people to break up me yapping. So if you have an album you could speak for 60-90 seconds of, please feel free to DM me or email me at pickadisc@gmail.com for more information! Deadline for submissions is: Friday 19th December 2025!

If you have an album you could speak for 60-90 seconds of, please feel free to DM me or email me at pickadisc@gmail.com for more information!

Plug for my "Hey wanna ramble briefly about an album? Subit something!" annual thingy.

Followers! If you’re interested in my podcasting or writing, please keep an eye on this handy link where everything will be regularly updated.

Also with Christmas approaching, do consider one of my books for your Dad (they’re very Dad books, let’s face it). Links within!

Next year: "One year since my one year redundancy post, two people argued in my commments - this is what I learnt about interaction with other people online..."

Safety inspector: I found two major issues with your Death Star. For one thing, there are no railings.

Grand Moff Tarkin: We believe railings would detract from the austerity of our bottomless chasms.

Safety inspector: That brings us to my second issue.

Coming in 2026!

Mark, Carl and Colin will (finally!) complete our coverage of the Smegazine by looking at Volume 2, Issues 6 - 9!

Another end of an era heading your way soon!

23.00 FILM: RAMBO NUMBER FIVE The war veteran returns to face early 2000's chart act Lou Bega who is threatening to detonate a series of bombs leaving a little bit of Monica, Erica, Rita, Tina, Sandra and Jessica scattered over a wide area.

Hello! I've guested on this podcast talking about one of my favourite albums of all time; The Good Life - Album of the Year.

This album is one of the biggest influences on my Non Canon project so a bit of new album chat* snuck its way in as well.

16.05 THE LITTLEST OBOE More adventures with the kind hearted stray double-reeded woodwind instrument.

Album of the Year: The Good Life with Barry Dolan

NEW EPISODE! @dolanthology.bsky.social is the guest, talking about Tim Rasher's "The Good Life" project!

Favourite Albums of 2025 We're near the end of 2025! Every year in the days at the end of the year, I do five daily minisodes where I talk about my favourite albums of the year. I didn't do it last year, but I want to do it again this year. So from the 27th December to the 31st, you'll be getting daily amounts of short Pick A Disc episodes. You lucky people. But also, I'd love to hear from you. As always I'd love short contributions from people to break up me yapping. So if you have an album you could speak for 60-90 seconds of, please feel free to DM me or email me at pickadisc@gmail.com for more information! I'd end on some sort of tacky catchphrase, but I've used them all before and I'm embarrassed.

Every year, I do 5 daily minisodes about my fave albums of the year. From 27 Dec to the 31st, you'll be getting daily Pick A Disc episodes.

I'd love to hear from you. So if you have an album you could speak for 60-90 seconds of, please feel free to email me at pickadisc(a)gmail.com for more info!

I resolve to try and use Bluesky more. Because why not. I used to like using The Old Microblogging place to ramble.

Anyway NEW EPISODES ARE COMING IN 2026! I'm have recordings booked. People interested in being guests. Gonna batch record as many eps I can before releasing more.
