Blondie (with Scott Haskin)

Today we spin up Side B of Plastic Lett.... wait, that's not right... [checks notes...] Side B of Listen Like Thieves. It's Corey's second recording of the night with Kev, so will the friendship last? Will sausages finally be put back on the Weyburn International House of Waffle (that's singular not plural and it refers to the practice of jabbering on endlessly), will George Lucas stop fucking around with edits to Episode IV, and will Corey enjoy an INXS instrumental?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and never let it go.Songs covered in this episode: "Biting Bullets", "This Time", "Three Sisters", "Same Direction", "One x One", "Red Red Sun"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theultimatecatalogueclashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclashSHOP OUR MERCH STORE!!!

AND WE'RE OFF! We fought through tech issues, a plague of locusts, two deaths, and a partial drowning to bring you this week's episode so you'd damn well better appreciate it! (Only one of those things is true...)Corey makes Kev listen to more warbling from the wablecunt in chief, Joe Elliott and Kev's game for the season is right up Corey's alley. But will the goliath be outfoxed by the David? Will Michael and the boys start off Season Nine on the front foot? And will the person who left the black Toyota 4Runner blocking the door to the kitchen please move it?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and listen like thieves.Songs covered in this episode; "What You Need", "Listen Like Thieves", "Kiss the Dirt (Falling Down the Mountain)", "Shine Like It Does", "Good + Bad Times"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theultimatecatalogueclashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclashSHOP OUR MERCH STORE!!!

We're heading down under folks, where the beer is cold, the sun is hotter and the front men are even hotter! There's another freewheeling conversation between Corey and Kev; Corey is a good way through the INXS biography and Kev accidentally downloaded a TV biopic that he thought was a documentary - so he's even less informed than usual! Corey hits Kev with a mini-game and we spin the Kofi wheel to find out what the next user submission will be. But will any of the albums this season be a contender for a top ten spot? Will there be any Def Leppard news? And just how do they get those little ships in the bottles?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and mystify me.Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theultimatecatalogueclashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclashSHOP OUR MERCH STORE!!!

We're heading back to the Prince of Darkness courtesy of our pal Ruddy Rutherford. This one's an eclectic mix of Clapton, Lennon, and Arthur Brown? What?! You've never heard of Arthur Brown??? For shame! We end up listening to Green Day and there's altogether too much Def Leppard for Kev's liking. But will Corey be entertained by 21st Century Schizoid Man and will Kev be on board with a cover of one of his very favourite Lennon compositions?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and have some sympathy (and some taste)Also, go check out Ruddy's amazing photography at his website: Fit Light PhotographySongs covered in this episode; "Rocky Mountain Way", "In My Life", "Mississippi Queen", "Woman", "21st Century Schizoid Man", "All the Young Dudes", "For What It's Worth", "Good Times", "Sunshine of Your Love", "Fire", "Working Class Hero", "Sympathy for the Devil"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theultimatecatalogueclashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclashSHOP OUR MERCH STORE!!!

One last episode talking about Blondie. We also talk about Monty Python more than you expect. We find out about Scott Haskin's role in on the Airwolf TV show and Corey and Kev go head to head in the trivia round in a slightly different format. It all takes rather too long and Corey is very tired by the end of it, but, we do discover which artist we'll be covering in Season 9! But who will it be? Will it be Peter Gabriel era Genesis? Will it be Lars Ulrich's unreleased solo jazz work? Will it even rock and/or roll?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and disappear...Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theultimatecatalogueclashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclashSHOP OUR MERCH STORE!!!

Would ya look at that! We've wrapped up the last album side of Season Eight and we're ready to bring the notable nudist back in to tell us where we go things wrong, what is latest sexual fantasies about Debbie Gibson involve (spoiler alert, if you're lactose intolerant, it's gonna get messy!) But, crucially, is Blondie's fourth album going to finish as strongly as Parallel Lines did? Is Kev gonna like a bunch of New York punks trying play Reggie, and is Corey's insomnia clouding his judgement vis-à-vis lullabies?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and stay pretty!Songs covered in this episode; "Die Young Stay Pretty", "Slow Motion", "Atomic", "Sound-A-Sleep", "Victor", "Living in the Real World"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theultimatecatalogueclashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclashSHOP OUR MERCH STORE!!!

Welcome to the first ever episode of our new podcast, "Eats and Beats"! where we break down the menu of one of our favourite restaurants every week, awarding 10 points for selection, 10 points for quality and 5 points for ambiance! Well, not really, but that's the bullshit I came up with for the intro and it's what you're getting for episode notes. We have the first skipper for Kev, a great conversation about a Canadian icon, and Corey goes off piste with his choices in this week's game. But, will it matter, given Corey has already won? Will Kev dig heavy metal funk and will Corey reveal the reasons behind his surreptitious Shakespeare deposits?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and deliver the big money deal!Songs covered in this episode; "Dreaming", "The Hardest Part", "Union City Blue", "Shayla", "Eat to the Beat", "Accidents Never Happen"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theultimatecatalogueclashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclashSHOP OUR MERCH STORE!!!

Ummmm, errrr...... what? Oh, it's you lot! What do you want from me? Do you know how many damn podcasts I have to write notes for? I gotta come up with something witty or insightful or, I dunno, accurate every time? We're wrapping up Parallel Lines today and last week we promised you that Side B is stronger than Side A, so will we be true to our word? Will Corey reveal his reasons for ironing his gitch? And will Kev's Hail Mary play get him back into this season's game?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and just go away!(And fuck Mõtlèy Cȓüê!)Songs covered in this episode; "11:59", "Will Anything Happen?", "Sunday Girl", "Heart of Glass", "I'm Gonna Love You Too (Buddy Holly cover)", "Just Go Away".Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theultimatecatalogueclashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclashSHOP OUR MERCH STORE!!!

One Way or Another, we're gonna git ya! We're heading back to New York after a brief excursion to Pasadena last week! We have a new producer, a new bass player, and a new sound overall. So will Blondie come out of the blocks all guns blazing? Will producer Mike Chapman be able to reign in the enigmatic Clem Burke, and will the album suffer from any rhythmic restraint? And will we ever find out what the fuck neo-nebular means?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and radiate...Songs covered in this episode; "Hanging on the Telephone"", "One Way or Another", "Picture This", "Fade Away and Radiate", "Pretty Baby", "I Know but I Don't Know"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theultimatecatalogueclashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclashSHOP OUR MERCH STORE!!!

Well, well, well! We're crossing the podcast streams here and talking about an album that Corey has covered extensively on one of his other podcasts, And The Podcast Will Rock! Kev started listening to Van Halen when Sammy took over and has a pseudo-legal history with Dave! We're also joined, for the first time, by our KoFi supporter, Michael Pastore, who gave us this album to talk about. But will Corey put aside his flagrant bias for Pasadena's party boys? Will Kev hold a grudge against the man he argued against in Rock Court, and what in gods' names is a rhythm pig?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and leave this house of pain!Songs covered in this episode: "1984", "Jump", "Panama", "Top Jimmy", "Drop Dead Legs", "Hot for Teacher", "I'll Wait", "Girl Gone Bad", "House of Pain"You can find Michael's book, The Mighty Van Halen: One Fan's Journey, here: https://www.amazon.com/Mighty-Van-Halen-Fans-Journey/dp/B0G1KYGKGGYou can check out Ivan Anderson's video on Jump, here: https://youtu.be/D139GAY_SdQ?si=4aICEIZ9rQA_9QFEDon't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theultimatecatalogueclashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclashSHOP OUR MERCH STORE!!!
