EARLY ACCESS: BYAMPOD Ep 81 - Marillion's Least-Played!
🕑 Added 2022-05-20 14:17:24 +0000 UTCThis week we begin our look at every single song Marillion has ever played live, and nominate our choices for the ones they should play more... and the ones they should never play again ever! Also: you'll learn what Sanja calls me when she forgets she's on mic!
We've got a bonus ep recorded for you which will put up on Monday.
Have a lovely weekend, everyone.

Number of times the word "travesty" is used in this episode: Lots - i kinda lost count!

Thank you both for getting me through the second half of the Manchester Half marathon this fair morn. Very entertaining as always. Shane xxx

Is a pocket rocket a penis?? I thought it was a small vibrator. and haha, I had wondered why my letter hadn't been read out for Marbles, but it's totally fair enough. It was a bit miserable, and it was also sent last September! Also re: blacking up, being as h blacked up for the You Dinosaur Thing video and in a TCD ages ago h mentioned having to remove a photo from his Instagram because it had one of them blacked up and Lucy told him to take it down - wouldn't shock me if Pete WAS blacked up at some point. The Haunting of Gill House is on YouTube! Extremely...early Marillion. Literally nothing else to say about it. Snow Angel is on YouTube too :) they've definitely done Let's Twist Again more than once! I've heard multiple different recorded versions of it. I've just listened to Icon for the first time and...holy shit. Such Brave vibes IMO! The lyrical links to An Accidental Man, also a criminally underrated Marillion song! Wish I'd heard this before, thrilled to know it now, banging it on my Marillion playlist. Their Toxic cover needs more outings! I know I'll probably never see them live cuz strobes, but I'd kill to see their Toxic and Money Money Money covers live. Bubs is so cute 🥺🥺I call my partner 'Bibbop' as a devolution of his name 'Bishop' - this in turn devolves into basically any word beginning with B. I could shout 'BONGOES' across the house and he'd know I was calling for him. Also honestly...the more I listen to it, the more I'm finding myself kinda loving Most Toys. I feel like it could be a banger live. The fact it's the same number of times as Giz a Bun is absolutely, objectively hilarious though. Omg NO, An Accidental Man needs more plays purely because I desperately want to hear it live!! Again, I know I probably never will, but a man can DREAM. Sanja: Can I just ask- Paul: No. Sanja: [continues, ignoring Paul's nonsense] That moment sparked a LOT of joy. Also, sorry for the ridiculously long comment lmao, the autism is hyperfixating on Marillion again so Annoyingly Present Chai is back for a little while. Expect my unpleasant presence for a further 3-30 weeks until my brain stops squeezing serotonin out of the band and moves on to a different topic.

How the hell have they played the shocking Asylum Satellite No 1 as many times, pretty much, as Beyond You - insane. More than A Few Words For the Dead which is a live belter! Happiness is the Road disc 2 needs destroying - overall it does more harm than good.

Not in this ep...! But we will get to it. And agreed: it's INSANE to me that Lady Nina never got played. I saw Fish do it once, though.

I haven't listened yet but if y'all don't discuss Lady Nina as a CRIMINALLY underplayed song (i.e. never live by Marillion) I will R I O T! (Will listen tomorrow)
