191 - Face Facts

This week, we're guestless, restless, and ultimately pointless, but we have a fast-paced discussion about the important things in life, such as For Dummies books, pipe-cleaners, and eating human teeth. Plus we play another exciting round of That Sounds Good, What's That About? in which we're visited by the famous Wolf of Wall Street from that movie (y'know, Wolf Creek).

MUSIC USED:
SSJ Theme 3000: Xavier Rubetzki Noonan
Teenager: Jeff Rosenstock
TSGWTA Theme: Xavier Rubetzki Noonan
FEATURE TRACK:
This week we're pleased as punch to be playing tunes by the legendary Jeff Rosenstock, who's been a central part of the SSJ narrative since Tom interviewed him about four years ago. This week, we're spotlighting Rosenstock's 2013 EP entitled 'Summer', and in particular, the track Eastern Coast. If you like what you hear, Rosenstock's back-catalogue is absolutely worth your time - you can find it on his Bandcamp page or for pay-what-you-want donation from Quote Unquote Records. Plus, just announced, Jeff Rosenstock will be touring Australia yet again in March - for tickets head to www.jackknife.com.au/

This week, we're joined by the very funny and fabulous Sam Kissajukian and Rosie Rivette! That's right, it's our first episode recorded with a real-life couple. You can feel their romance bloom while we discuss Rocky II, complaint letters, and eating possum poo! Plus, we commit mail fraud, have an impromptu singalong, and play a fantastic game of That Sounds Good, What's That About?

MUSIC USED:
SSJ Theme 3000: Xavier Rubetzki Noonan
Tiny Islands: Tangerine

FEATURE TRACK:
We are so stoked to be featuring music by Tangerine for the second time! Tangerine are a wonderful little band from Seattle, whose 2014 EP 'Behemoth!' is still on high rotation here at SSJ HQ (ever since we featured it in Episode 163). The band's new single, Tender, is two minutes in heaven, and will be featured on their new EP 'Sugar Teeth', coming from Swoon Records on February 19th. Keep it locked to the band's website for news, links to their social media, tour dates, & all the ways you can check out their excellent back-catalogue!

189 - GOTYE #5 / Bombshell

This week, it's time once again for our very special Game Of The Year Edition, in which we pick apart the year that was 2015. It's very trendy to have lists of your top favourite things too, so we look back at some of our favourite movies, games, music, podcasts, and more. Plus, we drop a very big announcement! No joke, it's a really big one. It's not that part where we admit to being Men's Frights Activists, it's after that, and it's a real thing that is real and big. Thanks for listening!

MUSIC USED:
SSJ Theme 3000: Xavier Rubetzki Noonan
Magi Fuel: Cull
FEATURE TRACK:
We are lucky enough to be playing tracks from Sydney band Cull's brand-new LP 'Aloft', which is an absolutely gorgeous mix of psych, shoegaze and dream-pop. Our feature track for this week is the super-groovy track The Quality of Being Lifelike. You can get the whole stunning album, plus Cull's impressive back-catalogue, on their Bandcamp page for very reasonable prices!
