EARLY ACCESS: BYAMPOD 50th EPISODE SPECTACULAR!

...Although, frankly, it's much the same as any other episode. With one exception: we're talking about Genesis, and those pesky comparisons. It's finally time to see whether Sanja thinks there's any merit in it, and put the issue to bed once and for all...

THE DROPBOX LINK

The Dropbox link is struggling with so many of you trying to access the files. Leave it with me. A couple of kindly volunteers are already working on solutions. It just might take a little while to get everything uploaded again. Should be fixed by Monday.

404 ERROR ON THE DROPBOX LINK

If you're getting a 404 error on the Dropbox link to the special features, it's most likely because a lot of people are attempting to access it at once. If it's not working for you, leave it for a bit and try again:

TOP TIER EXCLUSIVE: THREE HOURS OF UNSEEN DIGITISER THE SHOW

Don't tell anyone... but as you're my most excellent Top Tier besties... I'm letting you have the special features for Digitiser The Show Series 1. It comprises almost three hours of clips for you to explore, including the very first time the original Digitiser The Show hosting team got together (none of us have changed a bit...).

Plus there's behind the scenes video (including of the discarded first attempt at an episode 1 intro), unused title sequence tests, deleted and extended scene...

Hello, you lot. Does what it says on the tin. The new Kickstarter launches next week. If you want some stuff... here are the details on that stuff. And other things.

Hello Top Tier gang. Here's just a quick update from the wife and I for you.

EARLY ACCESS: BYAMPOD EP 49 - Fugazi Deluxe & More!

This week, we give our review of the Fugazi deluxe edition set... plus pick through some brand new Marillion drama over their Brave album cover art... and address the complaint that BYAMPOD has become too negative!

EARLY ACCESS: DIGI LIVE DEBRIEF!

Morning, all. Here's this week's Digi video. I had hoped to put this up for everyone over the weekend, but somehow Sanja and I have barely had five minutes to catch our breath since Digi Live. It has been relentless, and we're both hugely behind on things.

We'll get back to proper videos soon - we just need five minutes to gather ourselves!

EARLY ACCESS: BYAMPOD Episode 48 - TITLE FIGHT!

At last! We come to the end of the Marillion.com era, but before we can slam down a full stop, we need to discuss an apostrophe. For some reason, the perfectly decent title of Marillion's forthcoming album, An Hour Before It's Dark has attracted complainers and complainers complaining about complainers. Paul and Sanja dig into that.

TOP TIER EXCLUSIVE: BIFFO AND SANJA RAMBLE ON

Hello, you lot. We've not done one of these in a while for you. Apologies for the verrrrrry low-energy start. We're still recovering!

TOP TIER EXCLUSIVE: MR BIFFO'S LIVE FOOTAGE

So, if you were at Digi Live last weekend, you'll have seen a sort of... Secret Cinema version of Mr Biffo's Found Footage, to celebrate its 5th anniversary. 

Basically, we had what amounted to an entirely new mini-ep of Found Footage... except with live performers on stage who were... 'enhancing' the footage'. In the cast of the finale it was a full-on dystopian sci-fi horror. I've no idea how it went down, given that Found Footage is a) Weird, b) Creepy, and c) Not to everyone's ...

WAKEY-WAKEY!

Hey, fellow kids! I wrote a big, long, blog post about Digi Live for you... but I think I'm going to park it and we'll make it a video instead. Sorry we haven't gotten that to you yet - we were going to film yesterday, along with a couple of Patreon exclusives, and then Sanja and I got hit with a wave of tiredness (basically, we're still catching up from not really sleeping on Saturday night).

DIGI LIVE EXCLUSIVE: Cheddar Man

Here's one of the video interludes from Saturday's Digi Live. I had originally planned to do this on stage, but - having never attempted any stand-up comedy - I bottled it. 

It only works if you get the rhythms and jokes of that sort of hack observational stand-up right, and I wasn't confident enough that I could do that live. Plus, I thought it might sail over a lot of people's heads, and I didn't want to bomb!

So anyway, this may end up on the DVD, but either way... here it...

TOP TIER EXCLUSIVE: DIGITISER LIVE DELETED SCENE

Hello, gang. Digi Live write-up incoming... but first here's something very special. You may be aware that we had to cut a huge chunk of the Digi Live finale on Saturday, because we overran hugely. Aaaaand... it's a real shame, because this is what went. In short, prior to the ending song about getting Tony home, Tony Harris and Sanja would've had a moment where a very sad Tony was feeling that nobody cared about his plight, and if only there was a way to get some A List celebrities aboard hi...

EXCLUSIVE: YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED!

Hello gang. Let's face it... we're not going to get a video out for everyone this week. Just too much happening with Digi Live (and the Digi The Show Series 2 preparations). BUT! We do have this Q&A just for you lot. So, that's good. That's something.

I'm tempted to give the top tier Patrons some sort of Digi Live sneak peek... but at the same time, I don't want to spoil any of the surprises. So maybe I won't. I dunno. But I'll get some of the stuff up for them afterwards for defini...

BYAMPOD - HERE NOW!

We're going to try to get you a Patreon exclusive bonus ep later this week. But can't promise due to insane levels of mania. Things should be back to normal after this weekend, though.

BYAMPOD... DELAYED!

Hello, BYAMPOD Patrons. Sorry you've not had next week's ep yet. It's recorded, I've just not had any time to edit. But! It'll be out at some point tomorrow morning, and we'll get you a bonus episode in the week to make up for not getting you it early.

Sorry! We've got a live show we're organising for next weekend, and it's all hands to the pumps.

EARLY(ISH) ACCESS: DIGITISER Q&A

Sorry I wasn't able to get this to you earlier, but to make up for it we recorded a couple of exclusive videos as well for both the regular tier and the Top Tier.

With a big live show imminent, and a new Digitiser The Show Kickstarter campaign launching soon, we thought it was time we took a moment to update you on our plans. So, we opened the floor to you... for any questions you may have about our upcoming projects. Why now? Why at all? What are we most NOT looking forward to?

TOP TIER EXCLUSIVE: ESCHATOLOGY BONUS DISC...

...Well, sort of. When my album came out a few months back, some people badgered me to do a physical release. I'm not sure there was really enough to demand to warrant it, but if I had done it... it would've come with a bonus disc of tracks that either didn't fit with the vibe of the album, or simply weren't as good as I'd have liked.

Anyway... this was probably going to be the bonus disc, and you can have it:

QUESTIONS REQUIRED

This is all a bit last minute, but as I don't have time to edit a full Digi video this week due to Digi Live preparations... if you've got any questions for Sanja and I for a simple Q&A, post them below in the next couple of hours. Could be about Digi Live, Digi The Show S2... that sort of shizz. Heck, even BYAMPOD/Marillion. 

Sorry you've not had more exclusive stuff and early videos in the last couple of weeks. I'll do my best to make it up to you soon. Hopefully, if the foot...

EARLY ACCESS: BYAMPOD Episode 36 - .com POSTBAG Pt 1

In the latest BYAMPOD, we start reading your letters about Marillion.com... but before we get there, Sanja has a genuinely shocking confession to make about which era of Marillion she prefers. I did not see this one coming...!

BLOG: IS IT WORTH IT?

I was pretty vocal early on about the wave of Covid badness heading our way, yelling at people to take the warning signs seriously. Friends and family who were still carrying on as normal in February and March last year all ended up on the receiving bulb of my ire. 

We visited my daughter's in-laws the weekend before the first lockdown, and we were shocked by how oblivious they seemed to what was looming. All the while we were trying to engage in the small talk, when down in London...

TOP TIER EXCLUSIVE: TONY'S TOMY CHALLENGE DELETED FOOTAGE

Hello top tier loves. Here's a chunk of the best deleted nonsense from the latest Digi ep with Tony Harris. There was more, but it wasn't worth sharing. The unedited ep ran to over an hour for pity's sake!

In this bonus ep, Sanja and I take a look at the social media reaction to Marillion's recent appearance on a repeat showing of Top of the Pops.

EARLY ACCESS: BYAMPOD Ep 45 - Marillion.com Pt 2

In the final part of  mine and Sanja's look at the decidedly mixed Marillion.com, we argue about whether Marillion have lost their edge, and cringe so hard they we both suffer a hernia, Suffice to say, things can only go up from here.

We've also got a bonus ep in the 'can', which we'll get to you next week.
