Published: Sept. 2, 2021, 7 p.m.

b'The icing on the cake, the cherry on top, the jewel in the crown - final flourishes have long been held to be the very best things that humanity can experience. This week we ask the question \\u201care albums finished in the same way as cakes or crowns, with the best ingredient reserved until the finishing touch?\\u201d The short answer is no - anyone who argues that the best track on Revolver is \\u201cTomorrow Never Knows\\u201d is clearly selling something and is to be distrusted. However, if we relied on the short answer here at No Stairway, you, Dear Listener, would be denied the glorious waffle of three supposedly adult middle-aged men prattling on for what seems like hours about the final track on the eponymous album by supposedly Korea\\u2019s finest post-rock folk-metal band. \\n\\nAlso in this epic episode Tim adds to his ever-growing list of songwriters he hates because of head and/or hair shape, Carl fetishises Patrick Swayze\\u2019s pubic hair (yet again) and Bill calls Carl \\u201cghetto\\u201d for the first and perhaps only time in his life.\\n\\nThis Week\\u2019s Playlists:\\n\\nBill: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3naQuxxF3YszKByMzU1Lpo?si=6a04823a32434beb\\n\\nCarl: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3XMShGEvTaiV15o6b5MHBs?si=4a3a2abd7d674381\\n\\nTim: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5Z3eTwRGa9WKjCJZ54BFor?si=74173fb5194f4566\\n\\nThe Golden Shuffle: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/41uQWC10T9PaKi7YPjMlVB?si=998da1a6b8bb4065'
