It is staggering how many songs on streaming services do not have even one listen.

Yep. No one has ever listened to them, even the person uploading them apparently!

Ade and Leon visit Forgotify.com, a site that serves up tracks on Spotify that have never been listened to.

The challenge was to listen to the first ten songs that were presented and report back.

What do you imagine the tracks were like?

Basement singer songwriters?

Bedroom EDM?

Bizarre metal?

The truth will surprise you.

Enjoy fascinating chat on the state of streaming services, technology and the music industry in general.

There is nothing quite like seeing live music. Right around the same time Leon and Adrian saw two shows in different Australian cities that may have been almost the polar opposite.

One was in the Sydney Opera House, the other was in a Brisbane pub venue. One was a stand alone band, the other was 4 bands touring under the name, "Cellophane Honeymoon". One experience was of a tightly controlled musical curation, the other was a menagerie of noisy guitar.

*please note that due to the name of a band discussed, there are several expletive words used

Some of the greatest bands never actually existed.

Sometimes bands exist to service something fictional, be it in a film, book or tv show.

This episode features what we think are the greatest fictitious bands to ever exist. Four from Adrian, four from Leon with a special bonus....

... As a special treat, the final two bands come from the following challenge:

**Invent a fictitious band each and present them for your listening pleasure**

Can you think of any bands we missed that should have been on the list? Crucial Taunt or The Jolly Green Giants? Maybe the Be Sharps?

Adrian and Leon share an album with each other. Adrian loves the album he shared with Leon and the same goes for the album Leon shared with Adrian.

However, the person sharing the album has carefully chosen an album that the other will hate. The exercise is to choose an album that will cause extreme irritation and displeasure by listening to it.

The joy of this chat is hearing the different ways that each person hears the same album.

Adrian has recommended Aja by Steely Dan and Leon recommended Chance Meeting on a Dissecting Table of a Sewing Machine and an Umbrella by Nurse with Wound.

In 1977 NASA launched two Voyager spacecraft.

Each craft contained a special Golden Record.

Each record was a time capsule, containing sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth, and were intended for any intelligent extraterrestrial life form who may find them.

They also include 90 minutes of music.

Our challenge in this episode?

Imagine being tasked with selecting 10 tracks to include on the next NASA space probe. Specifically, rock music. What tracks would you choose?

Let us know what you thought of our selections:

There is a great joy in sharing a band or artist with a good friend. Particularly when that friend is new to the sounds on offer.

Adrian shares Parliament's funkadelic masterpiece, Mothership Connection and Leon shares the dirty, experimental Independent Worm Saloon by Butthole Surfers.

The chat combines years of listening with fresh ears and the results are excellent.

Welcome to Season 5 of Super Sonic Chat!

We're back for more musings and meanderings across music fandom.

We kick off with an episode about the art of the parody song.

As kids we loved parody songs.

As teenagers we loved parody songs.

As middle aged men we still love parody songs!

I think we all know who the King of parody songs is right? So let's chat about him! The one and only Weird Al Yankovic.

What makes a great parody song?

Who are the contenders for Weird Al's title?

Leon shares the genesis of his, and probably many peoples, first love for the parody song.

Ade thinks he's found the next wave of parody artists and the challenge is to work out if they themselves know?!

One of the things that started this whole podcast is the sheer joy of sharing musical discoveries.

Adrian and Leon share 10 songs each that they have discovered over the last 6 months.

That's 20 songs (and some cheeky honourable mentions) that have brought joy to the ears and may bring you joy too.
