Some absolute gold in this episode. And I've stuffed dollar down Al's G-string to have my name on it too.
I've been in St Winifreds. Probably the only primary school in the country to have a gold disc displayed in reception, though I got the impression that the staff were a little embarrassed about it.

Great episode. I'm always sceptical about the ones from before I was born (1984 in case anyone wondered) purely because I can't possibly know what life was like then, but in all honesty, I can listen to Neil Kulkarni and Simon Price ramble on and on without ever getting bored.
Finding this podcast in June has genuinely made my year - it's fantastic. The only problem I have now is that I've listened to all the back episodes so am having to wait for the next one.

I actually remember this episode, and it was indeed 'mint'. 14 year old, try-hard, closet ska-boy. Fred Perry, Harrington (hand me down) and scuffed DM's. I'm embarrassed to think about it. The show, too.
There's a podcast thread on The Guardian, and this gets a well-earned mention.

Re: Elton John. I've never liked him because he's a cunt.
"Queen Mother" of pop? Fuck off. Temperamental queen who got lucky with shit poetry, and a decent music writer.Last edited by Gerontophile; 27-12-2018, 20:39.

The second one in a month to joke about Lennon's assassination, in its unique, excellently taboo breaking style.
Peebles still dines out on that piss-poor interview that all Beatles historians ignore because it was done on fucking autopilot by someone with no ability to ask penetrating questions.Last edited by Satchmo Distel; 24-01-2019, 22:15.

Just listening to the latest one. For reasons of self-consciousness, I very much prefer the ones I'm not in; this one is truly glorious. Looking at a 2000 episode, it's prefaced by a brilliant, coruscating account from those who were there - Neil Kulkarni, Sarah Bee (I'd jumped ship by this point) of the last, awful days of Melody Maker and the imminent bankruptcy of market research-led music journalism, the internet notwithstanding.

There's got to come a point where you do a live podcast. I know you have to be thinking it. "Is there a likely conglomeration of people who will a) pay to see/hear us do this live, and b) buy Bummerdog memorabilia?"
a) dunno, might be iffy, but
b) personally,no. Already have my own designs ready to go. Just need the word from a chart music lawyer. Although with an unfavourable outcome,
b) absolutely, but only with a 'grandad collar', and in washed-out gray.
