  • S4E07 - Album of the Year 2023
    Feb 28 2024

    Late as ever (it's still February... just) following a technological catastrophe The Cacophony Sessions presents the season four finale, and the closing episode of the regular podcast.

    Join Dan Whitell and his regular band of bastards Alex, Martyn, Tom and Jim as we finally deliver our top ten albums of 2023!

    Featuring the biggest Does It Slap ever, a lovely story about corner shops and a heavy dose of swearing; the final regular episode is one of our strongest. We will continue the chaos on the YouTube channel, as old favourite episodes like The Cacophony Sessions Goes Pop will be shortened and sharpened to deliver more regular content.

    AOTY will be back for 2024 but in the mean time please follow us on social media, keep your eyes on www.cacophonysessions.com for the latest video drops and consider subscribing to the Patreon!

    Foreign Voices' merch store is here.

    Thank you for your support and as always, Stay Funky.

  • S4E06 - Shredder's Revenge, or: Just Axin' Questions
    Nov 12 2023

    #music #podcast #guitarsolo

    The Cacophony Sessions are back with their thoughts on greatest guitar solos of all time. Joining Dan Whitell on this episode are Alex, Tom and Martyn; each with two pics for a discussion on what makes a guitar solo work - and what doesn't. The playlist containing all of our picks (including Dan B's and Jim's in spite of their absence from this episode) can be found on Apple Music and Spotify:

    https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2Vg5tA1SbXXB6HWNImQL7L

    In this episode we spend a good thirty minutes or so going through some of the comments we've had on the subject as well, meaning that we cover a lot of different songs in this one. Also discover the two reasons Tom hates guitar solos (feat. science), Alex's latest band name, Baphomet's penchant for gran turismo, carnival metal and one of us channels our inner Dennis Reynolds.

    From this point on, all of our episodes will be available for free in full on both audio platforms and the YouTube channel. If you are interested in supporting our Patreon we will now be making monthly Q&A videos so sign up to have your questions answered by a member of the Cacophony Sessions team! As always, make sure you follow us on social media, and please like and subscribe to keep this Cac train rolling.

    Thanks for watching, see you in December for our overrated episode!

  • S4E05 - The Top 15 Songs of 2003
    Sep 10 2023

    We wind the clock back 20 years on this episode of The Cacophony Sessions as Dan Whitell runs down the Top 15 Songs of 2003 with contributions from Martyn, Jim, Alex and Tom. 15 picks each, scored out of ten - some using the IGN scoring system and others…not doing that. This episode ranks the top 15, although all 75 songs can be found in alphabetical order on our Apple Music playlist and our Spotify playlist.

    A couple of Undeniable Bangers and tangents ahoy - LET’S FIND OUT which band may have suffered with a head lice problem, which indie rock band was banned from the Fry household, which one of us got married recently and we introduce a banger of a new gameshow - What Has Martyn Been Up To? Answers on a postcard, please.
     
    As you may have seen, we have a new website - www.cacophonysessions.com. You can find all of our episodes, all our video content including Dan’s Slammin’ Seven series and our The Cacophony Sessions Meets… interview series. There will also be another episode of CAC News coming in the near future. The first half of this episode is available on YouTube. If you wish to see the whole thing, it is available by joining the Funkatier of our Patreon for £5 a month. All proceeds will be reflected in production values! Of course if money is tight, which we know it is, all of the audio will always be uploaded to all podcast platforms.

    Let us know your thoughts and make sure to leave us a like or comment where possible. We’ll see you in the next one, when we’ll be covering our favourite guitar solos in “Shredder’s Revenger, or: Just Axin’ Questions.”
