Middle-aged ranting from The Axis of Idle. Featured music: Elegy by Bruce Windwood.

The usual mix of jokey self-deprecation and ultra-serious introspection. Topics covered: Self-doubt, Education, Work (or lack of it,) Sleep (or lack of it,) Memory, Music, Script Writing, Financial Assistance for Artists and more and we have music from Australian songstress Lisa Fitzgibbon with her song 'The Maze.'

Today's episode has been thoroughly cleansed of rude words and has been certified Family Friendly.

Today's heavily-redacted episode (our lawyers made us do it) features the usual irreverent dissection of a life in the day of a down-at-heel artist and we have music from Welcome To Peepworld with their wonderful song 'Weight of the World.' 

".Entertaininger than a kick in the gusset!" Umberto Trousers, The Blackbird Leys Chronicle

"Too much swearing!" Stephen Coe, Guardian Of The Shire

"...the boozier, ruder, cool-er bastard brother of BBC Radio 4's 'Only Artists.' Tony Spotiswode, Toxteth International Tribune.

This weeks episode ends with a never-before-heard remix of Broken Out In Love created by Oxford musician Phill Honey who was the guitar player with Mark Crozer and The Rels at Wrestlemania 30.

Bruce and Mark talk cobblers and attempt to poke each other with the Sharpened Stick of Motivation.

Amongst the usual very swear-y ranting and raving you've come to love, Mark and Bruce swap spooky tales of paranormal activity in and around Oxford.

63 Minutes of Mostly Ranting.

Special musical guest: The spirit of Art Garfunkel.

Bruce and Mark discuss (aka whinge at length) the pros and cons of modern technology; the status of a variety of creative projects; peculiar dreams and Bruce swears his ruddy head off as always.

Offensive accents... LOTS of swearing... rambling about Christmas... what we've been up to in the last week... and generally poking the embers of hope that glow in the fire of despondency. Also... MArk's cover of John Lennon's 'Jealous Guy.'

Bruce and Mark talk about writing song lyrics, teaching, work, finding inspiration and swear A LOT!
