Down With Boring signs off for 2025 with Fred from Spector and a heaving sack

Of presents. A heaving sack of presents.

Another Monday, another Down With Boring — and the last one of 2025, no less.

This week, Fred from Spector drops by to chat about the shows wrapping up the year, the 10th anniversary of ‘Moth Boys’, and what Christmas presents he’d buy for Nelson Mandela and CMAT. Naturally. We also get into our favourite — and least favourite — Christmas classics, talk about ‘Lullaby’ by Together For Palestine, and attempt to unpack the mystery of Elton John’s oven.

Another Monday, another Down With Boring — and the last one of 2025, no less.

It’s been a year of chaos, tunes and questionable opinions, and we’re signing off for 2025 exactly as we started: entirely unprepared but having a great time. We’ll be back in January with a special live episode recorded on stage at Rockaway on 2nd January.
