Looks Unfamiliar

123 - Mitch Benn - A Perfect Storm Of Goth


Listen Later

Looks Unfamiliar is a podcast in which writer and occasional broadcaster Tim Worthington talks to a guest about some of the things that they remember that nobody else ever seems to.

Joining Tim this time is musician, comedian and writer Mitch Benn, who's hoping to prove that he doesn't have no memory of No Memory by Scarlet Fantastic, The Flipside Of Dominick Hide, The Deceivers, Eureka!, Lady Sovereign and Jentina's feud and Mego Pocket Heroes. Along the way we'll be revisiting the genre of Do We Have To Goth, recounting a slightly wrong version of the invention of crisps, trying to make out an individual audible guitar on any given eighties synth duo hit and assessing whether the overall quality of Jor-El action figures is dependent on how straight their legs are.
