In this bonus episode, our friend Tom Cox tells his side of the story of (possibly) our closest possible brush with indie-music-level fame.

Interestingly, Tom's is a completely different tale, featuring Steve Lamacq and the scourge of all bespectacled musical brothers everywhere.

• The Delgados look for us

Giles and Steve are once again taking time out from their busy adult lives to talk about three songs that very few people have ever heard.

The prize? A coveted place on an imaginary compilation tape.

The point? We'll get back to you on that one.

Including:

• Unconscious stealing
• Derby underground legends and a bakery
• A problem with monkeys?
• The end of the podcast
• Accidental songwriting and farting around
• Lo-fi philosophy
• Government schemes
• Walking the dog
• The early 90s indie record-o-sphere

Giles and Steve weigh up the merits (or otherwise) of three more songs from the extensive Johnny Domino archive of obscure musical memories.

Will they remember the songs or any facts about their composition? And will any of them be worthy enough to appear on a theoretical best-of compilation tape?

Including:

• Experimenting with how to sing
• Proper early 90s
• Auditory plasters
• Hot sauce and first-degree burns
• The Indiepop underground
• Hoping for jazz
• Piracy
• Cultural appropriation and found sounds

If you hanker for the early 90s and the halcyon days of lo-fi alternative music, recorded on crappy equipment in a home environment, you should listen to This Are Johnny Domino.

Giles and Steve Woodward began recording songs under the name Johnny Domino in the summer of 1993. Over the next 3-4 years they recorded over 100 songs on a 4-track tape recorder, drafting in other players on an ad-hoc basis.

In this new podcast, the now middle-aged men reminisce about songs they recorded up to 30 years ago. Songs that only a small handful of people have heard. In some cases, songs that they can't remember writing or recording!

If you're the kind of person who will watch a documentary about a band or a musician that you are indifferent to, or who enjoys arguing about music as if it's the most important thing in the world (because, deep down, you believe that it is), listen to This Are Johnny Domino.
