We’re back, we’ve reached the big 3-0, and just in time for Kev to keep his first 2022 bean!
This time out Ian asks us to sum up our jobs as a style of music which, as ever, leads to a meandering conversation covering, amongst many things…
- Kraftwerk
- Jazz
- Latin
- Shaggy

This is really just a formality, but I would like to point out that I haven’t listened to this yet.
I have literally just listened to this and it’s very uplifting, like a breeze made of lemon juice.
My favourite bit is the revelation that you will be the next Shaggy when the current Shaggy retires. I didn’t realise that being Shaggy is like being the Pope.
Of course he is. In this modern twenty first century of Wordles, Kindles, Bumbles and fumbles anyone can be Shaggy. When you flash the beacon into the sky you know someone will come to save the day.
And in future… it’ll be you?
I’m glad, at least, that you’ll be returning Shaggy to his dog-owning, ghost-hunting roots, and letting the mediocre rap take a back seat for a while.
I have the ego large enough to straddle both signs of the coin.
I’ll be solving dem crimes by running away and eating sandwiches and then rapping about dem girls when the police are leading the crims away.
Yes, coins have signs as well as sides.
That sounds fairly hectic. Surely you can see why previous Shaggies have stuck to doing one or the other. You don’t want to spread yourself too thin.
Perhaps Ian’s shaggy incarnation could also be a delicious sandwich spread? THen you could spread him thinly.
On second thoughts, I’m not sure I want a ‘shaggy sandwich’ that could start rapping and run off to solve a crime at any moment.
What if he was just a nice shaggy dog?
That would be even worse. I hate dogs.
My son is a sandwich so it’s only fair that his father also assume the position of a sandwich.
I’m a chicken, ham and salted pickle sandwich, possibly with a sprinkle of cheese.
I’ve never said this to you before, mate, and I hope it’s not overstepping some sort of mate boundary, but… you sound delicious.
It’s about time somebody bloody said it.
Thank you.
It’s what I’m here for. #matesquared
