To celebrate the extended 30th anniversary release of Suede’s misunderstood masterpiece Dog Man Star, we present a suitably extended release of YBSK. We learn how Rob’s life has been inextricably entwined with the unlikely Britpop darlings, and why he probably should have pitched a simpler Suede album to his melody-hugging brother. Meanwhile Dave realises he can in fact be talked into liking a band, as just maybe what he thought was a dog, is really a star…

Is This It? It sure is – in episode 5, the brothers discuss this millennium’s most influential guitar album, two days after Rob caught The Strokes in concert. Was Dave converted by the ridiculously over-hyped record, and how do the band measure up live today?
