Unplug those guitars, grab your synthesizers and head into the avante garde world of dark electro pop. There's a manequin head involved in this week's episode that's really upset Corey and his family. We talk about virtuosos we've covered on this show to this point and if there are any coming up this season. We also discover the new game format that Kev has dreamed up. Unfortunately, he REALLY hasn't thought it through so thank gods Corey is around to sort it all out! Will Corey be on board with Dave Stewart's electro-noodling? Will Kev quit touching himself, despite numerous requests for cessation from Corey? And what will the boys make of the most different album side they've covered to date?

The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and stumble in the debris.

Songs covered in this episode: "Love Is a Stranger", "I've Got an Angel". "Wrap It Up", "I Could Give You (A Mirror)", "The Walk"

We're going back in time. 41 years to be precise. And we're damn well staying there!!! It's not a single-artist catalogue this season, but the brilliant inception of this daring and radical format twist from Corey sees us covering 10 records from 1983.

For your delectation this season we have...

Sweet Dreams: Eurythmics

Pyromania: Def Leppard

Metal Health: Quiet Riot

Sports: Huey Lewis and the News

Lick It Up: Kiss

Shout At The Devil: Motley Crüe

Colour By Numbers: Culture Club

She’s So Unusual: Cyndi Lauper

Rebel Yell: Billy Idol

The Great Kamikaze Syndrome: Slade

What will Corey make of the synth-led pop stylings of Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox? Will Kev get over himself and just enjoy a bit of mindless hair metal? What is hair metal anyway? And are any of the bands in our list part of it?

The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and cry "More! More! More!"

Look, we just need a last little bit of Knopfling before we close the book on Dire Straits and move onto Corey's mad idea to cover TEN (yes that's T.E.N.) albums by different artists in Season Five. Kev's pretty sure this is just Corey wanting to hang onto the season for as long as humanly possible but hey, it should be damn good fun!

Before then, we decided to bring in the Quizmaster from last week, Michael J Smith to talk Live Dire Straits. We couldn't decide between the two major live releases before the band split, so we're covering all the official live releases! That's right, both Alchemy and On The Night are up for discussion, as well as the 1978-1992 boxset, and we're gonna be building our perfect Dire Straits live set! Will Corey include Twisting By The Pool? Will Kev stray a long way from his ten song selection from last week? And will Michael last a full episode having to put up with these two Canidiots?

The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and Knopfle a while!
