Episode 7: Things we hate that everyone else likes

Jono here. What I like about living in a free society is the ability for citizens to hate things, so long as they don’t offend anyone else. Well, we’re about to go on the offensive with our new podcast – things we hate that everyone else likes. Let us take you through a journey where Brad reveals his anti-Australianness, Dan shows his disdain for a variety of people in our society, and Jono announces his contempt for certain food groups and new technologies. If we haven’t been kicked out of the country by the time you read this, stay tuned for another special next week to coincide with Mardi Gras. Hell yeah. podcast@favouritefive.com

Episode Six: Musicians that should’ve died and when.

Hiya, Brad here and I’d like to talk to you about Elvis.
Elvis was king. Elvis inspired idol worship and quite deservedly so…but then he transformed into an obese, bedazzled jumpsuit wearing, drug addled, Vegas crooning, parody of his former self…let’s face it he should’ve died 10 years earlier to save himself and his fans the pain and humiliation. And he’s not alone, many musicians would’ve benefitted artistically from a bit of death.
So, here’s our selection of people who (with a time machine) we believe we could save from Elvis-itis. Enjoy.Episode 6: Musicians that should have died and when.

Episode Five: Valentines Day Special

Hey there.

Brad, Dan and I are all about two things: love and mixtapes. So for our Valentines Day special we’ve put together a Favourite Five compliation of songs to make love to, followed by Favourite Five breakup songs. In case you’re not familiar with any of these songs we’ve put together a Youtubetastic set of links:

Episode Four: Ultimate Festival Lineup

Jono here – we are putting on a festival! It’s our Favourite Five festival bands in one line up. Don’t spend your monies on Big Day Out or Roskilde or whatever – give it to us. For details on how to give us money email podcast@favouritefive.com (include bank details, a recent photo, and your mum’s maiden name).

We recorded this during Melbourne’s recent heatwave. Any insanity can be blamed on heatstroke (there’s a prize for how many people can hear birds in the background since we kept the door open to the studio). Keep hydrated, kids.

In the mean time, make sure you subscribe on iTunes and download our Valentine’s Day special on the 14th.

Episode Three: Movies That Jump The Shark

Hey, Jono here presenting our third episode! Whilst we’ve given this quite a G title I must mention two things:

1. The subtitle to this episode is  “fuck off points in movies”

2. The reason why Gary Sinese’s face was used for one of our initial logos is revealed. Curious? Curious again? If you’re bi-curious check this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01XgfNqLv78 , about 2:41 in

We all liked recording this episode because we got to rag on some of our pet-hate films. Although, we did get to mention some films we actually like that pissed us off at a point. And as always, our friend Topher Grace saves all. Maybe he should have been in Passenger 57? Oh, and if you want to know about Nuking the Fridge:

We’ll be back next week with another episode. Until then please don’t forget to shower us with praise, suggestions, comments, and offers for time share seminars by emailing us: podcast@favouritefive.com. Or just subscribe on itunes – those who have are my real favourite five (even though there are four of you).
