S00E23 ALBUMS ONLY CLUB Signed Sealed Delivered by Stevie Wonder

Descripción

SIGNED, SEALED & DELIVERED BY STEVIE WONDER: Reviewed! Well well well. Season 6 ended. And six regular episodes passed us by. But we’re finally back baby. It’s Album Club *the sound of energy gel being sucked on*. That’s right, Albums ONLY Club. No things that are not albums! And this is episode 2. How many episodes of albums only club will there be? Well not as many as how many months in a year there are! Another free of charge episode! Patreon just not paying up the big bucks quite yet. But stay tuned, maybe they (AS IN: YOU!) will. When you realise the value we provide. Each episode so chock full of both LOLS and INSIGHT. Give us money for the lols and the insight, that’s all we’re saying. Project we’ll continue to provide plenty of both for at least another season and compensate us now.Tie us down to a really unfair contract. We’ll sign away control of our Masters. Whatever it takes. Gary Lineker/Neville, where are youse?! Anyway. Albums Only Club will be a new ad-hoc series in which we review an ALBUM whenever we feel we have absorbed the album properly (20 listens minimum gang, anyone?) whether that be a week, one month or several months between. Christopher’s pitch started us off with The Parlour by Picture Parlour and this week Jeffrey’s first pitch for episode 2 is Signed, Sealed and Delivered by Stevie Wonder. Stevie Wonder is a pretty famous singer. One of the best-selling music artists of all time and currently 75 years old. This album we are discussing today is (depending on where you start with his discography) either his 11th or 12th studio album, though it is still often thought of as one of his best early albums. In terms of scores in this bonus series, we’re doing out of ten and averages. Stevie. I know your career has been an absolutely glittering showcase of achievements and triumph so far but this out of 10 rating bestowed upon you by the AAACH, via the good people at the CCCAH is truly what you have been waiting for. I hope it’s everything you have been waiting for and more.

S07E12 It’s a balancing act between surviving and being nice

POWER PLAYS EPISODES 4 AND 5 BY KARIM ZIDAN AND ELIE BLEIER: Reviewed! Week 2 of the world cup! And we’ve got another heat wave to endure. But nothing hotter than a fresh episode of the Cultural Content Consumption Appraisal Hour! We end (perhaps?) our two-week long series on FOOTBALL (hahahahah sorry) by taking the ball up the pitch and … metaphor metaphor, something something, last week we did the Nike ads and this week we’re doing two episodes from a five-episode podcast series, what more do you want from me!? All the magical metaphors as per? Lads. Lasses. There is a heatwave on, okay? It’s not a joke. It’s funny but it’s not a joke. Christopher, you were sick of the weather as an object of smalltalk? Well here you go mate, it’s not small anymore, it’s the number 1 item on the NEWS! But hey, the morning newspapers are old by the time you’re commuting home from work. Could never be us. We mix the contemporary (how did that not fit into the title!?) with the timeless, the rough with the smooth, the maximalist with the minimalist, the … Christopher with the Jeffrey, you could say. And so this week a serious discussion had to be had, truth be told. Can you ever separate the art from the artist? Well if it’s as tricky as it is to separate the Christopher from the Jeffrey then good luck with that! Episode 4 of Power Plays is entitled “The Story of Qatar's World Cup Whistleblower”: https://www.sportspolitika.news/p/qatar-world-cup-abdullah-ibhais-sports-politics-football-migrants Episode 5 of Power Plays is entitled “The Power of Football”: https://www.sportspolitika.news/p/fifa-world-cup-sports-politics-power-saudi-morocco-trump-infantino Here is Maher Mezahi talking to Tim Vickery and Dotun Adebayo of the Brazilian Shirt Name Podcast (formerly the world football phone in on the BBC) about Egypt’s playing identity.

Allow me to do so again here, in full: “There’s always a healthy flow of migrant workers that will come to the US that will work for pennies on the fucking dollar to make ends meat to work in slave-like conditions because they’re desperate. Why are they desperate? Because we’ve destroyed their countries. We’ve manipulated their finances, destroyed their economy, extracted their natural resources. We’ve kept them down and underdeveloped by design to create this chaos and then they’re desperate enough to come here and we don’t allow them to get the proper paperwork so our capital owners can justify paying them nothing” SPOILERS BELOW FOR NEXT WEEK: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9z6yq4 ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
