Sean and Neale discuss misunderstood songs with Aaron and Rich. We carry out some lyrical investigations into the likes of The Stranglers, The Pixies, Boomtown Rats and Tom Jones' 'Delilah'. We also get into what it was like experiencing a Coldplay gig on morphine, Iron Maiden's Boeing 747 and The Beatles' long lost Lord of the Rings film.

Join us for a special DOC WATCH episode where we all watch a music documentary and discuss it. Sean and Neale are joined by day-one MAOT-er Richard to unpack Coldplay's 'A Head Full Of Dreams' documentary by Mat Whitecross.

We get into the love and hate for the band, 90s era uni students, band dynamics and try to work out the oblique strategy cards Chris Martin was dealt while working with Brian Eno.

Watch the documentary over on Amazon Prime: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Coldplay-Head-Dreams-Guy-Berryman/dp/B08CS5HQBQ

We're thrilled to be joined by artist Gareth Halliday to discuss his work with Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds on 'Who Built The Moon?'. Part 2 of our mini DIY series!

We get into how he enjoyed success once he returned to the art world 10 years after studying at college, juggling an art career with his day job as a postman and why you're never too old to pursue your passion. 

Be sure to check out some of Gareth's mind-bending work here: https://garethhallidayart.com/
