Episódios

    05/06/2017 Duração: 27min

    Join Darren and Robin on the couch as they pop in the Oils on the Water DVD and watch the famous Goat Island Concert... Darren for the first time (in it's entirety.) The couch-sitters offer up lots of fashion commentary in addition to reactions to the live performance of songs from the last couple albums they've been spinning for the podcast.

  • e07 Great Circle Tour Toronto Recap

    25/05/2017 Duração: 37min

    Join Darren and Robin on the couch as they reflect on seeing Midnight Oil play in Toronto, on May 20, 2017, as part of their Great Circle Tour 2017. The couch-sitters count their steps, visit with folks in line, enjoy listening to Boy Toy, and, oh, really enjoy their first Oils experience in over fifteen years.

  • e06 Red Sails In The Sunset

    17/05/2017 Duração: 01h52min

    Join Darren and Robin on the couch as they spin Midnight Oil's Red Sails in the Sunset from 1984. Things get a little silly this episode as the Couch-Sitters take their sweet time talking about the album in detail. Listen in as orchestra hits, disco beats and didgeridoos all get put under the audio-microscope while optimum glasses of Sake and the number of trumpets in Bakerman are counted.

  • e05 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

    03/05/2017 Duração: 01h31min

    Join Darren and Robin on the couch as they spin Midnight Oil's Ten, Nine, Eight from 1982. They talk about every plucked piano string, gated drum, soaring note and even Peter Garrett's absolutely beautiful voice on Scream in Blue. Robin picks a safe favourite track while Darren goes for something a bit more divisive, and they eventually get around to playing that awful, awful game where they snap a record in half (not really.)

  • e04 Place Without A Postcard

    20/04/2017 Duração: 57min

    Join Darren and Robin on the couch as they spin Midnight Oil's Place Without A Postcard from 1981. The Oils have arrived at an exciting new stage in their recording career that Darren dubs “80s Oils.” Robin extols the magnificence of bass chorus and Darren points out each track that employs their drum-assist technique. In addition the Couch-Sitters talk about the Oils time in England; recording with Glyn Johns, opening for The Who, and bailing hay.

  • Bonus: Place Without A Computer

    20/04/2017 Duração: 01h34min

    Join Robin and Darren on this special episode of UN-Comfortable Place on the Couch where they talk about Bedford Level Experiment's album Place Without A Computer.

  • e03 Bird Noises

    05/04/2017 Duração: 43min

    Join Darren and Robin on the couch as they spin Midnight Oil's Bird Noises from 1980. This EP wasn't originally intended to be released, but with plans for the next full length album a year away, and with the quality of musicianship and songwriting (if not recording) Bird Noises made it into our hands. The album has a number of firsts, including Peter Gifford and Wedding Cake Island, the Oils' first instrumental.

  • e02 Head Injuries

    29/03/2017 Duração: 55min

    Join Darren and Robin on the couch as they spin Midnight Oil's Head Injuries album from 1979. This album consistently ranks among the best loved Midnight Oil albums. So listen close as your hosts pay careful attention — leaving no bassline un-commented upon and no time change un-noted. They also take a look at Andrew “Bear” James' bass-work and lasting legacy in his last album with the Oils.

  • e01 The Blue Album

    14/03/2017 Duração: 56min

    Join Darren and Robin on the couch as they start their dissection of the Midnight Oil catalogue with the self-titled album, aka: “The Blue Meanie.” They talk about the band formation, what makes this album unique in the Oil's catalogue and Darren tries to deduce a theme the album takes. The album's drums and bass are discussed extensively, songs are broken down and some jokes are made. Also, Darren regrets criticizing Rob's kick work in Run by Night.

  • e00 Introducing the Couch

    06/03/2017 Duração: 05min

    Join Darren and Robin on the couch as they introduce their new Midnight Oil podcast: Comfortable Place on the Couch. They discuss the things that they're looking forward to as they listen through the entire Midnight Oil catalogue in preparation for Midnight Oil's 2017 Great Circle Tour.
