You're Wondering Now? Podcast

Are Friends Electric? I can't be sure, but I do know that some Cars are. Either way, welcome to Will's Displeasure Principle. This is an episode of firsts and seconds for the You're Wondering Now? Podcast. It's my (Will's) first time flying solo, and it's our second season. I am back without a bang talking about the enigma that is Gary Numan. I was fortunate enough to see the penultimate show of h...

SEASON 1 FINALE In the ninth installment of the pod (AND THE BLOODY SEASON FINALE), Will and D'rel turned the clocks back from the 2020s to the 1960s with The Beatles' final single, Now And Then & The Rolling Stones' newest album, Hackney Diamonds. But rest assured, we're back at our best and STRONGLY disagree with each other on these releases. I guess the viewers are gonna have to pick a side...

This is the second and final part of the last part of our four-part 'special'. Having taken a well needed break of roughly a day-two months and a half, we finally get to hear the rest of the music that literally stops D'rel in his tracks. We have the Beach Boys, we have The Boss (though others simply call him Bruce), we have Nirvana, we have the Kinks and even The Who! Sadly, there is no the What,...

This is the second and final part of the last part of our four-part 'special'. Having taken a well needed break of roughly a day and a bit (that is a liberal estimation), we finally get to hear the rest of the music that literally stops D'rel in his tracks. We have the Beach Boys, we have The Boss (though others call him Bruce), we have Nirvana, there's The Kinks, there's Radiohead...dare I say it...

Welcome to the second instalment of our 4-part special, where this time we dive into the songs that stop co-host D'rel Gayle in his tracks. Now, these tunes are not necessarily his favourites of all time, even though it's perfectly fine if some of them are. These are the songs that evoke formidable feelings, throughout their duration. Dare we say it, but this might be the most effort we have ever...

In the second part of the first part of this episode, we round off the list of tunes that stop Will in his tracks. Some powerhouses of music history like Paul McCartney and Elvis Presley kick off this ep of the pod. And I do my best to figure out the througline in the songs Will likes. (It might be songs that feel like sitting on a cloud, just guessing) And can anybody slow dance with Will to sad...

In the first 2 parts of the milestone 4-part special of The You're Wondering Now? Podcast, we'll be diving into the songs that stop co-host Will Spilsbury in his tracks. Not necessarily his all time favourite tunes, although there is overlap. But specifically the songs that provoke strong feelings from beginning to end. And its effort off the charts by our standards (about 80%, at least from me si...

This week, the boys are talking about the band that is Elbow. They are charming as well as consistent, plus they've got that one big hit, designed to test the acoustics of any arena. Will we spot lead singer, Guy Garvey, drinking with the seldom seen kid? Will D'rel sneak diss Green Day again just for fun? Will we stay on topic for more than five minutes? You won't find out unless you listen! (The...

Two shiny happy, unemployed, people meet this week to discuss the one we love, that is R.E.M. Yes, the masterful rapid eye movers, the inimitable band that were formed in Athens, but not the Athens you think. We attempt to get to the bottom of finding out the frequency from Kenneth...seriously mate what is it? Just tell us! Despite our intense love for Rapid Eye Movements, this episode struggled t...

In the sophomore episode of the pod, Will & D'rel this time tackle the age old debate of who won the Battle of Britpop: Blur or Oasis? The answer, much to no-one's surprise, was almost immediately agreed upon. (Though if it were truly up to me, the answer would be Pulp). The podcast gets significantly cheesier, all to be washed down with a tasty Britpop beverage that is no less palatable. We g...

In this inaugural episode of the You're Wondering Now? Podcast, Will and D'rel take on Paul Simon (not literally, because he'd beat us). We discuss Mrs. Robinson's cupcakes and how they should be properly stored, Paul Simon's two first names and why you're only occasionally allowed to call him Al. Crucially, we talk about Mr Simon's conflicting love triangle between Mrs. Robinson, Betty and himsel...
