This week, Matt and Maria take a strange and splendid Friday detour through Patti Smith, Judas Priest, Propagandhi, Twisted Sister, Frank Zappa, Yes, David Bowie remixed by Nine Inch Nails, and Aotearoa’s own Head Like a Hole. There’s punk bite, metal swagger, prog grandeur with Yes’ “Roundabout” as the long song, and a firm reminder from Zappa to avoid suspicious snow. The Evil Robot Overlord approves.

From the electronic lift of Jam & Spoon to the steel edge of Judas Priest, the strange swagger of Barbarians of California, the curveball charm of Dr Hook, a live hit of Puscifer, and a fresh blast from Muse, this episode moves between styles without losing its grip. Big riffs, left turns, atmosphere, and attitude — the kind of Friday soundtrack th...
