Episode 069: We’re leaning into the double entendre for this milestone episode, exploring the number 69 in all its forms—from the historic reverberations of the year 1969 to the explicitly suggestive and the just plain cheeky. We kick things off with Bryan Adams’ nostalgia-soaked anthem before diving headfirst into the industrial, apocalyptic crunch of Ministry. We then take a turn for the sultry with the iconic Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin, pivot to the sharp, modern wit of Self Esteem, and drift into the haunting, electronic nostalgia of Boards of Canada. We close out the set by letting The Stooges raw-dog the airwaves with a track that reminds us exactly why 69 has always been a number worth getting dirty for. It’s a six-track exploration of history, desire, and pure sonic friction.
