Tuna Boot

Another Week, Another episode by your favourite three guys on Tuna Boot. This week we again look back before the podcast and discuss the tunes that started our adventure into thinking we are semi-adequate music analysists! The tunes this week are: Round 1 Night Beats - Her Cold Cold Heart Dr. Dog - The Rabbit, the Bat and the Reindeer Pip Blom - Babies Are a Lie Round 2 Hooverphonic - Mad About Yo...

Hey Everybody!!! We've got another episode of Talk Aboot for ya! Liam and Jim cover a wide range of subjects. From being a much better fighter in your imagination than you are in reality, to Dreamworks animations and what we do with our gravy. Jim also claims to have a strange and mostly useless ability. So join us for some laughs and a shallow degree of insight into the human condition in this ep...

This is an exciting one this week. In this episode Liam interviews Dougal about the music that has meant the most to him and helped shape his life as a music lover and musician. It is a great insight and some amazing music is discussed. No need for sarcasm or strange humour here. It's just a lovely interview with a few laughs along the way. So please enjoy. Stay safe; be good. Scoosh Scoosh Bellus...

Liam and Jim sat down to give Talk Aboot another try as Dougal unfortunately couldn't make the record. So, we gave it a go. Is that all we need to say? We certainly solved nothing. We agreed on some things and the end result is, unquestionably, a podcast episode. We only hope you enjoy yourselves.

"This is your life; and it's ending one minute at a time." Jim has pitched his idea for a cinematic sequel to Fight Club. He calls it, "Fight Club: 2029" Liam and Dougal were tasked with helping him curate the soundtrack. Jim pitches the film and the troubled trio discuss the songs they chose. Nothing was solved; but nothing mattered. We all felt saved. Links to Podcast: Acast: https://shows.acast...

And we're back! Arguably we never left. This week we're doing Boot Week, a week where we each boot at least (and at most) one song each. We all picked songs that we thought the others would hate and let them have it. Who wins? Who loses? Are we good at picking songs the others will hate? All will be made clear... The songs we picked for this week are: ROUND 1 What is Light? Where is Laughter (Skri...

The most third First Episode we've done yet! Season 3 kicks off with a slow burn as we wade through the weariness of yet another bout of isolation. It's all good though because Liam is doing bits in this episode and actually wrote some notes, Dougal crafted some stellar (and some absolutely abhorrent) track-puns and Jim only went to the toilet twice this recording. This time were doing BACKTRACKS,...

So Season 3 is now on the go... kind of. We didn't have a chance to record the second episode of Season 3 this week as fan favourite member of the crew Dougal had to take a week off, so we've decided to push back Episode 1 until next week. But Don't fret, instead two of your three favourite boys got together (online) and took it upon themselves to record a special bonus episode for you guys. Jim a...

Season 2 Episode 15. One of the last conclusions of a two-parter we made before we had to think about another lockdown. Although I have to say I think we've sorted season 3! Until then, we are back with the conclusion of a good old tuna boot with us pretending to talk about music while talking about nearly anything else. This week we get emotional as bars close and we talk about songs we love. The...

Season 2 Episode 13. This is part 2 of 2 of the Very Concisified Episode(s)! We Discuss: I Never Said I Was Deep - Jarvis Cocker Hi everyone! This is Jim just letting you know that this week's episode is not quite as polished as the others. Believe it or not but we spend a lot of time editing out imperfections. Mostly strange speech patterns and I quite often sound brain-damaged and forget to spea...

Season 2 Episode 12. We stripped the whole show down and got it streamlined and it was going great. Until we discussed track 9. So here is our thoughts on tracks 1 - 8 of the playlist in yet another two part episode (What are you actually going to do about it? What? Go on then! I dare you...Nah, you won't do it.) The tracks we discuss this week are: ROUND 1: Just The Way I'm Feeling - Feeder Buckf...

Season 2 Episode 11. Part 2 of yet another two-parter as Liam is currently trying to juggle two jobs, a podcast and a hefty amount of self pity. This week we go back to basics as we race towards the end of season 2. No birds, no Australians, just good ol' fashion tuna boot. The music is awesome, we are basically fine. Enjoy the show!(links to podcast below). All tracks are available on the Tuna Bo...

Welcome to Tuna Boot Season 2 Episode 5!!! This episode has a few sound issues like last week as they were both recorded on the same day. So apologies again for the varying quality and clarity of the sound. These issues will be worked out for the next recording. | This episode includes the first ever entry in the Boot A Tune playlist. Which will be updated next week. It was emotional. | The tracks...

Welcome to Tuna Boot Season 2 Episode 4! This is our second Alternative Tuna Episode! Apologies for the inconsistent sound. We recorded two episodes in one day, this being the second of those. So we were besotted to all hell. We were also recording in the same room so used a different set up which created issues in the editing so Liam will sound clearer than Dougal and Jim. Apologies again for tha...
