Spike and Mutlu my 16 year son introduced me to a new group called homestye dinner...”Read full review »

“I really enjoyed the latest podcast regarding Bush Sixteen Stone album.
I saw the band Twenty One Pilots live first at a free concert and was instantly hooked. After that concert they shortly released the album Blurryface and it is one of my favorite albums of all time. I would like to hear...”Read full review »

“I really enjoy a podcast where the hosts sound like they are long time friends who get along really well and also know their stuff. This is one of those podcasts. Like the Dig Me Out podcast they also have an awareness of Australian rock music. It’s not all about America. Having said that I would...”Read full review »

“I’ve found so much “new” (for me) music through CLRC … it’s a fabulous and unique pod. Just the right mix of opinion, observation, enthusiasm and humor. It’s also a go to antidote for dealing with the perils of being a Sixers fan ….. And I’ll throw in recommendation for Horrible Crowes’ Elsie...”Read full review »

“As a musician it’s great finally listening to some music analyzers who actually know what their talking about. I would love to hear your take on the 2000 album White Pony by Deftones. It’s just an incredible album that totally defined the alt/rock scene back when it came out. I’m biased because...”Read full review »

“I never thought I’d enjoy a podcast about music. But Spike and Mutlu have a way of talking abou nusic, that is really enjoyable even if you don’t like every album they talk about. My suggestion is Muse’s second album Origin of Symetry
Or
Tash Sultana’s first EP Notion”
