CUTOUTS BY THE SMILE and THE IRON CLAW: Reviewed! 

Ding dong, the spoilercast is here! Featuring a special guest (our 1st house doorbell finally makes an appearance on the show!) today we will be cutting out all the bad bits and clawing out a victorious (we recorded it, hurrah!) podcast from the jaws of defeat (not finding the time to consume the content and then get together to record the pod!). I find it to be a good episode. I find it to be a good opening, even though it was the first (completists, can you confirm? Surely that's not right??) time the opening was interrupted. I thought it was a good (if not manic and exhausted) opening in general, even though a 2nd attempt at starting the podcast was suggested. It's just 2 Radiohead fans trying to talk about *how* to talk about a new Smile album that has just come out and then trying to talk about wrestling by talking about a wrestling movie. It's not rocket science. It's just that pitching stuff the other person wants to consume and enjoy will *also* annoy them. So get your Radiohead around that one! And enjoy (said the way Christopher says "and take care" haha)!

Matt Everitt interviewed the secret sauce of The Smile, drummer Tom Skinner, for BBC Radio 6. It seems to be the main (only?) audio interview the band have done for this new album. It’s a beautiful conversation, especially when Tom talks about bringing his more improvisatory musical foundations to the group. And really interesting thoughts about the songs Foreign Spies, Don’t Get Me Started, The Slip and Eyes and Mouth. When he mentions how his being influenced by Radiohead seemed to naturally evolve into being involved with them musically, try not to die of jealousy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPCcAPYNpxM

Jonny Greenwood did an e-mail interview with the NME. Confirming that a) Radiohead got together to play again and b) there are no other Radiohead-related plans at the minute: https://www.nme.com/news/music/jonny-greenwood-interview-the-smile-cutouts-radiohead-return-3801554

Don’t kid yourself with all the love for The Smile. We miss you Radiohead. Let’s watch the most recent interview with Colin Greenwood, who is touring with Nick Cave and putting out a new book. Hey, maybe we’ll see him at a book signing sometime soon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPCcAPYNpxM

We apologise for how many times we mixed up the names of the Von Erich brothers on the show. We apologise to Kevin, Kerry and David. As a token of our apology, please enjoy the work of the Kevin’s kids on All Elite Wrestling. If you decide to continue to watch professional wrestling after this, in what seems to be the post-Danielson era, then hey … enjoy.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxRwDl7eaz4
