  • 1: Flame Retardant Drug Hair

    In the first episode, we take a whistle stop tour through some of the horrendous results of 80s hardcore punk bands opting to move into more Rock N’Roll territory.

  • 3: Thank You Mr. Branca

    Nope, we’re not lampooning anyone (well, bar John Cage) in this episode. This time around we pay our respects to the late great Glenn Branca,and discuss both his own work and his place in the wider scheme of things. The original plan was a family tree but really, it’s more of a bird’s nest, taking in Theatre, Guitar Composition, Neutral Records, the Brian Eno/Mr Burns parallell, and Waterford’s top teenage Sonic Youth based dance routine.

    WE’RE BAAAAACK! After taking the summer off accidentally we return to school you on the life and times of the one and only “Sexy Saxman” Tim Capello wot dun did that song in The Lost Boys innit? We also manage to cover naughty chocolates, the thin line between Southpark and Dirty Dancing,wandering dogs, 80s Yuppie Crime drama, potentially breaking Carly Simon’s toes, how heroin affects the hips, and David Fucking Yow. Tim Capello is an absolute dude. We still believe. Do you?
