Show Notes
Each month the miserable music podcast hosts review 4 recently released albums and a 'classic' that none of us know. We then close the episode with the 'Why I Love' section, where one of the hosts introduces a band or artist they adore.
This month, we have new releases from Still House Plants, Cadence Weapon, Blue Bendy, and A Certain Ratio and a 'classic' from Liz Phair. Listen to find out which of those albums Sam says is 'the worst thing you've ever made me listen to.' And then listen to Sam tell us why Florence and the Machine is the best thing he has ever made us listen to. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What's this? A Picky Bastards Podcast Mini not featuring Fran Slater? Are you sure?
Welcome to Episode 103 of the miserable music podcast: also known as the longest episode ever (maybe, I haven't checked), or the Episode we discuss the death of the Mercury Prize, or if you have different taste in music, the episode we discuss the best Mercury Prize shortlist of all time. Either way, it's our Mercury Prize special for 2026. Listening will tell you so many things that will improve your life, like: who we want to win, who we think will win, what did we discover, which winner would upset us the most, and whether or not orange exists.
Welcome to another Episode of Picky Bastards, in our new Sam free era. Another rotating guest joins us for this one in the form of Lisa Whiteman-Pearce.
