will of the people

The Big Mates discuss queues to nowhere, calamari, tickets prices, and go to see Muse live at the O2.

Adam, Steve, and Lucas travel to London in order to experience a live show by Muse at the O2 arena. They discuss their expectations, Muse's live prowess, and both their initial and considered reactions to the performance. 

What do they play? Can Lucas put up with standing? Can Adam put up with Muse? Find out on this episode of What Is Music?

Our next episode is out next Monday October 30th, and will see us providing a round up of Billie Eilish songs we've missed over the last few months!

The Big Mates discuss the great reset, dynamic edits, languages, and Will of the People by Muse.

The Big Mates discuss the human centipede of seeing things, NFTs, colour grading, and Will of the People by Muse.

Adam, Steve, and Lucas return to their Season 2 subject, Muse, in order to dissect and explore the band's ninth and most recent album, Will of the People. They talk about the writing and recording process, the context surrounding the songs, and offer up analysis, opinions, and thoughts from three differing perspectives on music, from being deeply into analysis and music, to not caring for art or critique, and everything in between.

They touch on the recording process, the impetus of recreating a "Best Of" compilation, the thorny political themes of the album, and the ever-quotable Matt Bellamy. Pandemics, wildfires, conspiracy theories, shadow governments - it must be a Muse album!

Is Plug in Baby on this album? What's the difference between trivia and facts? Do you know why the moon and the sun look the same size? Find out on this episode of What Is Music?

Join us next week for the conclusion of our deep-dive into Will of the People!

Hell Bent For Metal joins forces for the second time with Riot Act, the alternative music podcast, as their host Steve Hill joins Tom and the returning Matt Rushton to present you with the LGBTQ+ metalhead guide to the Eurovision Song Contest. The annual celebration of kitsch, camp, and occasionally, a good song or two, has long had a huge queer following, and it's even flirted with metal from time to time.

The hosts (the ones who like Eurovision, anyway) present their favourite ever performances, and also pick out some of their most hated. And there's obviously chat about the biggest metal moment in the competition's history, a huge queer pioneer winner, some "interesting" UK entries, and the biggest act ever to come out of the contest – themselves a massive gay icon.

There's also a round up of a couple of news items from Riot Act's world, plus the Hate Crew Gaybar is open once again, with albums from Muse (at Riot Act's suggestion), Ether Coven and Soilwork going in.

It's an epic show, but for a 66-year-old competition that's iconic for the queer communities of entire continent, it's comparatively restrained.

El Banco Central Europeo ha subido los tipos de interés hasta el 0,50%. Responde así a la necesidad de frenar la inflación en la zona euro, tal y como ha explicado Christine Lagarde. Además, el BCE ha aprobado un instrumento para que no suban las primas de riesgo de determinados países de la zona euro.

En España, exactamente en Castilla y León, hay buenas perspectivas de estabilizar los incendios, mientras el de Zamora se ha dado ya por estabilizado. Esta sucesión de incendios ha llevado al líder popular, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, ha pedido la activación de unidades del Ejército cuando los incendios puedan arrasar poblaciones. Además, ha abogado por un “cierre de filas” en este asunto.

Repasamos también los últimos cambios en la cúpula del PSOE, que pasan por María Jesús Montero ocupando el puesto de Adriana Lastra. Además, también afectan a Pilar Alegría, Patxi López y Miquel Iceta. Estos cambios han sido anunciados por el presidente del Gobierno, Pedro Sánchez, quien también hoy ha acudido a la inauguración del AVE entre Madrid y Burgos. Hasta allí también se ha desplazado el presidente de la Junta de Castilla y León, Alfonso Fernández Mañueco, quien ha dicho que es una “magnífica noticia” esta nueva línea de alta velocidad.

Por lo demás, Álvaro García Ortiz será el Fiscal General del Estado, mientras Rusia ha reanudado el flujo de gas a Europa. Jornada también intensa en Italia, con Mario Draghi presentando su dimisión. Terminamos con el nuevo sencillo de Muse: “Kill or be Killed”.

Realización: Gustavo Luna
Producción: Jorge Quiroga
Locución: Carmen Desmonts
