Terror in Turtlenecks

Vince, Neil and Wayne continue their journey through the mosh pits and gritty urban streets of punk rock from San Francisco to London as punk mutates. Wayne was not wearing pants when this was recorded. Neil lost his audio on the Dead Kennedys section. Vince nibbled on croissants and sipped cupasoups. That's how goddamn hardcore punk we are.

Vince, Neil and Wayne gob at the Establishment, stick two fingers up at the future and instead decide to get pissed and destroy. In Part 1 we look at the birth of punk across the pond with the Ramones, then find punk in rude health in London with the Sex Pistols. Never mind the podcast, it's overrated.

Vince and Neil take a second tour of duty and head into the heart of darkness, populated by Bruce Springsteen, Paul Hardcastle, Ronald Reagan, Spitting Image, Sylvester Stallone and Wham!  Will they survive? And what sort of reception will they return to? 

Vince and Neil go deep in the shit and ponder all things Vietnam War in the first of two episodes looking at the conflict and its impact. This episode: Martha and the Vandellas and Jimmy Cliff, Action Man, an unwinnable war, TV news, shady government shenanigans, and drugs.

In the second and sexiest and most thrilling part of our mission to look at all things 007, Secret Agents Barrett (shaken) and Stadon (not stirred) fall out of aircraft without parachutes, flirt with MILF secretaries and fight insane criminal masterminds on remote volcanic islands as they discuss Bond toys, Warren Beaty, Paul McCartney's syntax, Adele, and the future of the Bond franchise.

With Jeremy on a secret mission for M, agents Barrett and Stadon don immaculately tailored tuxedos, wrestle with giant steel-toothed psychopathic henchmen, and then, with a raised eyebrow and a deadpan quip, they bed the world's sexiest women.

We quaff vodka martinis (shaken, not stirred) and discuss Roger Moore Bond's sartorial taste; Bond films on the telly when we were kids; why Bond villains construct their secret bases out of the world's most incendiary materials, and much, much (Roger) more!

This is Part 1 of 2.

Is I Feel Fine Overrated?

(No!)

As an offshoot of our main show, we discuss a Beatles track and Vince fills in the gaps, reading from Ian MacDonald's unsurpassed 'Revolution in The Head - The Beatles' Records and The Sixties'.

This time we take a look at the infectious and upbeat 'I Feel Fine',  the Fabs' eighth single, which was a hit in late November and into December 1964. It was the 5th highest selling single of the year!

Neil attempts to outfox Jeremy with a Beatles question (or two),  Jeremy reveals what The Fabs were up to back in the day, on the day of recording our show, and Vince postulates that Derek Taylor talked bollocks.
