Having started talking about The Cool Greenhouse, Will and Nathan struggled so much to stop doing so that they recorded a bonus episode after the main episode. In this bonus episode, they talk about The Cool Greenhouse's latest single, Alexa!, as well as talking about how they got into post-punk in the first place!

No playlist for the bonus episode, alas, please see the playlist for S1E5!

Previous Episode

S1E5: The Cool Greenhouse

After having said they would cover The Cool Greenhouse's album more than once in previous episodes, Will and Nathan finally do and in a particularly rambling session. Will admits that he probably should have cut more out of this episode than he did (which was very little). Come listen to the hosts wax lyrical about how much they love The Cool Greenhouse and somehow managing to not fall into the trap of comparing them to The Fall.

Have you listened to The Cool Greenhouse's debut self-titled album? Because you absolutely should.

Here's the playlist for this episode. Spoiler: it's a lot of The Cool Greenhouse and one bonus track not by The Cool Greenhouse. Enjoy! https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0WjGvLKHq6lVbOp4DBpFsM?si=V_DRV3vCShug-hhSWoJOCQ

Next Episode

S1E6: The Halloween Special

In the spirit of the spookiest of seasons, Will and Nathan assemble a list of recent post-punk tracks that they particularly enjoy. They open with a brief piece of post-punk Hallowe'en history with a story about one of the finest soundtrack composers, Danny Elfman. Nathan took the editing reins this episode and started experimenting with intro/outro tracks and some seasonal sound effects. Do give us feedback on our Instagram page (@cabbageandshame) about it!

As mentioned in the episode, we've put the tracks we talked about and more post-punk tracks from throughout the ages into a special Hallowe'en post-punk playlist!
