Tasting Notes - With Bryn and Jaff

This week Bryn and Jaff continue their Spanish escapades....but have only managed to stagger down the road to the neighbouring vineyard, will it live up to the high standard set by last weeks entry? They hope so, especially with a bold claim such as "The cathedral of Rioja"... Jaff's mind explodes when he discovers Norway rhymes with Doorway, Bryn shares things he couldn't give a f**k about, they...

This week Bryn and Jaff begin their month long journey to the vineyards of Spain....metaphorically speaking. They're back on their trusty Rioja, and with a bit of Ziggy Stardust magic it turns out to be quite an exceptional one!! Hear them discuss Download festival (from afar), the elusive nature of wine connoisseurs and this week they even review two albums against the clock!! Oh, as well as forg...

Bryn and Jaff delve into the world of New Zealand wine for the first time with a rather refined looking bottle of Syrah....but was it any good?! Bryn gets excited about some comfortable looking socks, Jaff coins the term 'Swedecore' as a new genre and they both forget that they're recording and begin planning their Christmas episodes....also, Jaff takes a mid-episode trip to the bathroom. It's a c...

The duo are back together!!! After Bryn's continental escapades and Jaff's festival adventures in Scarborough, there's a lot to catch up on. Jaff has a fight with an uncooperative cork, Bryn shows off his lacklustre Italian language skills....and that's all before they even get to the music! There are some stellar releases again this week ranging from blackened death to funeral doom and you have t...

For the first time, Bryn and Jaff are coming to you from different locations! Bryn has been selfishly swanning around Northern Italy, but he's been learning all sorts of interesting facts about the fantastic drink known as Lambrusco!! Jaff is back in merry old Cheltenham and holding the fort with four monstrously good music choices.... There's goats, flying dragons, sputum.....and a clear drop in...

Italian Pinot Grigio is the order of the week for Bryn and Jaff, and they once again prove that their palates seem to be improving! There's tales of Marilyn Monroe, wigs made of half-digested noodles and some slightly predictable views on 'that' song by President.... Bryn brings three incredibly melancholic albums (one that even made him cry), but luckily Jaff finds himself raising the mood (and l...

Bryn and Jaff are back on the white wine this week, courtesy of a peachy Chenin Blanc from South Africa. The usual hilarity ensues (despite the rather serious musical choices) with their ramblings taking them from Victorian urinals to their favourite brand of tractor.....even leaving room for a glass-raising toast to the one and only, Lemmy Kilmister. There are some seriously dark and thought-prov...

This week Bryn and Jaff discover that Gary Barlow is quite the wine connoisseur and he's pulled an absolute blinder with his 'deliciously rich' South African Malbec.....shame about his lack of condom merchandise though!! The conversation drifts from Blood Incantation teaching strangers how to use a record player, Federico Albanese being an absolute legend and there's also a completely unexpected D...

This week, Bryn and Jaff throw the whole rulebook out the window and talk about eight albums (albeit only briefly for two of them), finish their wine halfway through the episode (luckily there is a always a bottle of back-up plonk on standby) and turn their (hugely under-qualified) hands to talking about Jazz...they'll definitely keep you on your toes this week. From waiting for cheeseburgers that...

Bryn and Jaff are off to France again this week, and they find a white wine that may be a chart-topper!! On their journey they come across Gene Simmons (who talks about himself for far too long), Ozzy Osbourne (who is powering through his endurance training....hopefully) and get their pronunciation corrected by a husky sounding Polish gentleman. It's also one of the most eclectic episodes for musi...

Bryn and Jaff share a completely unremarkable Spanish Rioja....but enjoy it a lot!! They avoided eating fungus in Bristol, chatted about Timitus McJohn, clearly don't appreciate songs about baked beans and are baffled by the fact that Gary Numan and Gary Oldman are dangerously close to being the same age...whatever you do, don't mention The Boning Hall.... The soundtrack to the ramblings this week...

This week Bryn and Jaff go fishing off the coast of Western Australia with a wonderful bottle of merlot (shame about the crack). There's shiny noggins, a potential invitation to Saturday Kitchen and a dirty Pink (not Keith) Floyd....GO SLEEP!! There's been a very eclectic bunch of albums out this week, from punk to blackened-doom and everything in between....and if that's not enough there's even a...

This week Bryn and Jaff use their new-found wine knowledge to analyse a Chilean Pinot Noir....but have they actually learnt anything? Jaff tries to go to Belgium looking for electro-cicadas but repeatedly ends up in Scandinavia, Bryn has a revelation about simple maths and gets an unusually depressing Danish lesson, and for the first time they rate an album out of ten....for no discernible reason...

In this episode Bryn and Jaff pick up a wayward traveller in the form of Mr Jake Doherty, a man who just so happens to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of wine and a hearty interest in alternative music.....he even happened to bring two bottles with him......how convenient. The usual chaos ensues, including discussions of Oregon cadavers, Bryn's lack of underpants, French vineyards being invaded by...

On this weeks episode Jaff threatens to expose himself, Bryn gets himself completely lost somewhere between Spain and Italy, Anna Kournikova makes an unscheduled appearance and they have a very honest conversation about Sleep Token....ten episodes in and there's still a good dose of nonsense to be had!! Musically, the soundtrack of this week's releases was phenomenal and includes what may be one o...

This week Bryn and Jaff go organic!! Fighting back hordes of small partridges and avoiding the torrential rice pudding downpours, they get stuck in to another healthy meal of music releases from the past week while they dissect all the important important topics such as Mulberry handbags, Glastonbury, and how to artificially inseminate a flower.... This Weeks Releases The Wildhearts - Satanic Rite...

This week Bryn and Jaff are back in France to test the fruity waters of Chardonnay.....and their opinions are split for the first time!! Once again, there's been another slew of great albums for us to get stuck into this week....if we can find time in between our riveting discussions about international gigolo's, Bryn's tropical plums, salt-baked beets and the occasional dragon. Grab a glass and j...

In this week's episode, Bryn and Jaff tackle the "racy" world of white wine....suspenders and all! Jaff's swede gets a bit "nonky" , Bryn pops to the shops to buy some cabbage whilst whistling Pissgrave, and they actually get rather serious when they start talking about the "stonkingly" good selection of music releases from the past week. This Weeks Releases Abduction - Existentialismus https://ab...

In this weeks episode, Bryn and Jaff share their musings on topic such as inappropriate names for firemen, Krist Novoselic's adoring gaze.....and an unhealthy dose of bodily fluids. All the while sipping Blossom Hill like two middle aged ladies in a park... Manic Street Preachers - Critical Thinking https://open.spotify.com/album/0uQf3c9vjUn2HDfgc5gbPR?si=h-T_gjn-RS26KoxCBUCdZA Rectal Smegma - To...

Returning to the sunny Vineyards of France, Bryn and Jaff talk through a whole host of incredible releases from the last seven days, and there's an unexpectedly Celtic theme to this weeks' choices. And if that isn't enough for you, they also discuss Ozzy Osbourne's distinctive aroma, whippets wearing clothes.....and brake fluid. This Weeks Releases Saor - Amidst The Ruins https://saor.bandcamp.com...

Saddle up your horses, pack your lassoes and join Bryn and Jaff as they find themselves donning the boots of Chilean cowboys.....albeit, with suspiciously American accents. In musical terms, it's been an exceptionally heavy week, with releases from Grief Ritual, Naked Whipper and Zero Absolu!! This weeks releases - Revenge - Violation. Strife. Abominate https://revengeofficial.bandcamp.com/album/v...

This week Bryn and Jaff take you on a sonic journey to destinations that include France, Belgium and Scandinavia.... Ready your corkscrews, and listen as they discuss actual facts about traditional French wine....and some stuff about bears... This weeks Albums Harakiri For The Sky - Scorched Earth - https://artofpropaganda.bandcamp.com/album/scorched-earth The Great Old Ones - Kadath - https://the...

In this episode, Bryn and Jaff create the world's most complex scoring system, discuss releases from Amenra and Putrid Defecation...and assess the depth of a dimple in the a bottle of Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this first episode, Bryn and Jaff share an Italian red whilst talking about personal highlights from last year's music releases. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
