@chartlifepod.bsky.social this week's episode is as excellent as ever. The summing up of the Cast record reminded me that I went through a phase of collecting the Cast 7" singles including Flying, which was on white vinyl. It's not their best effort and funnily enough, it was the last one I bought.

That reminds me of last week's bait and switch where Korn were the obvious bagpipe band, yet it turned out to be blimmin Scootah!

STOP THIS

VIDEO OF THE DAY - In any other week, this would have been our Track of The Week. Still sounds IMMENSE youtu.be/2eBZqmL8ehg?...

Working on the basis that you enjoy hearing Juliet talk about the 90s… Do check out this week’s Parish Counsel wherever you get your podcasts!

@chartlifepod.bsky.social can I do my joke again about how "Sleep" by Marion and "Sleeper" by Audioweb imply the existence of a Britpop song called "Sleepest"?

EPISODE 61: An Overwhelming Surplus of Diggity now available whenever you find your podcasts! We do hope you’ll like we work it…

QUIZ TIME - who’s this? He gives his name to a new entry in the top ten of Episode 60…

Stretch n Vern vs Stretch and Fetch… Courtesy of Episode 60, which you’ll be relieved to hear is still available wherever you find your podcasts!!

Hot on the heels of the popularity of the Super Furries yesterday, the research for the ChartLife Tank has begun… this seems to be our vibe! (And if you’re wondering what we are on about, check out Episode 60 wherever you get your podcasts!)

Bumf from the Super Furries, officially Good People

I want to say he was good but I only had him for a year or two, circa 1994/6, around the time he was arrested for drug possession - I think they were over in America or something, and someone sprayed ‘Free Bunford’ on the outside of the swimming pool which was kind of near the art classes.

Tanks for the memories, Super Furries… To find out the full, bewildering story of the SFA’s tank, do tune in to Episode 60, wherever you get your podcasts!

Thanks Dave! You heard the man!

HAPPY NEW CHARTLIFE DAY! Episode 60: Tomorrow Never Noels available NOW wherever you get your podcasts. All together now, nrrrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhh etc

@chartlifepod.bsky.social A fan writes...

Happy New ChartLife Eve. What about this week’s number one eh… Will it hang on… Tune in tomorrow to find out!

As @chartlifepod.bsky.social fans will know, it was the second consecutive Number One to have climbed to the position. Totally unremarkable for most of chart history, but it only happened once more before 2006. (I'm excluding singles returning to the top)

HAPPY NEW CHARTLIFE DAY! Episode 59: Vaguebooking with Gabrielle available wherever you find your podcasts!

@superjules84.bsky.social You do know it's bad form to RT your own fessholes, right?

Excellent stuff about this AMAZING song and band from our pal @outonbluesix.bsky.social

How is Evan Dando like George Best? Find out on Episode 58: I Don’t Go To Garden Centres For The Music wherever you get your podcasts

If only… Episode 58: I Don’t Go To Garden Centre For The Music out now wherever you get your podcasts!

The most positive thing I can say is that this turned out to be awful in a slightly different way from how I expected it. I'm just glad Get On With Your Short Life didn't make the Top 40.

On this week’s pod, we talk about several terrific records. We also talk about this song by Brian Kennedy… To find out how exactly it triggers us, please be sure to listen in whenever you find your podcasts…

Photoshop has failed us (User Error) but you get our drift… Episode 57: No, More Alcohol! Available wherever you find your podcasts, together with the other 56 episodes! What a treat!

Hello from the Chart and Life, otherwise known as the Good Mixer! Juliet paying tribute to Suggs, Ed paying tribute to SAINT ETIENNE WHO WE ARE SEEING LATER, SCREAM

“Look Ed, there’s that Australian singer you like to argue with!” Episode 56 still available wherever you find your podcasts!

www.discogs.com/release/1343... Saved also reminds me we all love a 90s compilation, don't we? I don't think I have my own copy any more but I reconstructed it on Qobuz.

Happy New Podcast Eve! You can still catch Episode 54: To Not Speak To Madonna, Press 1 wherever you get your podcasts!

COME ON!!

In one of those moments, as this episode refers to Cory Doctorow I absently reach for a book. The book: *X-Files theme plays distantly somewhere*

SACRILEGE (but also, fair enough frankly)

Thank you Stu for your kindness! ❤️ and for running so Juliet doesn’t have to…

With apologies for slight lateness… EPISODE 53: GLORIA ESTEFAN’S HOUSE PARTY is out NOW! Do join Juliet and Ed to find out what on earth is going on here, wherever you get your podcasts!

#WinForTheBin !

Hello! ChartLife is not a political podcast - obviously we hope that people of all sorts enjoy our love of 90s tunes. BUT regular listeners will be aware of us “dancing with bins on our heads” - so here is a picture of somebody doing just that, on this BIN DA- we mean Thursday… (#MakeTodayBinDay)

What better way to celebrate that we have a NEW EPISODE OUT TODAY! Do join us as we continue to be at the CUTTING EDGE OF 1996, wherever you get your podcasts!
