Monk Rock, man. Genius. Good Christ Phil “Ireland’s Call” Coulter has a lot to answer for. Maybe even a worse pop pestilence than Ure himself.

[Lang Spoon]

Barcelona nightclubs late 90s used to like projecting a bit of porn up. But on the main dancefloor, not like Nishlord’s chill out room. Disconcerting. Was always too Respectable Scottish for the Vice aesthetic.

"breaking off to discuss if you can actually enjoy wring any kind of enjoyment out of 70s grot films"

3 in the morning after a fuckload of bad gak, aye. Though possibly the windows loading screen would suffice in that condition.

[Gerontophile]

"Irrepressible 'song and dance' cunt" is a new high for me.

[Lang Spoon]

26! Things aged differently in ‘76.

[G-Man]

Up to a certain age, a moustache can make you look older just the way you want it to. Then comes a time when a 'tache ages you in unwelcome ways.

[Lang Spoon]

Oh the moustache definitely helps age him. But it’s the puffy face, those fucking tired broken eyes as well. This photo maybe shows the horror more clearly. The face of a man with a trail of failed marriages and businesses behind him. But 26. I’d still be getting asked for ID if I woke up in 76 by the looks of things.

[Gerontophile]

Well! (Blows fingernails): I still get asked for ID. And I have had a 'tache for 37 years. Admittedly, I have boyish good looks, and short hair... and you know, am fucking gorgeous generally.

So, there's that.

[Lang Spoon]

Heh, but did you get asked in Europe all the time or just in the States? (Last ID’d in Tesco aged 32. Wiz speechless). Sister is still getting ID’d for paracetamol at her local Morrison’s aged 30. I think they’re trolling her by this point. I think 16 is the age for mild pain killers.

[Gerontophile]

In Nevada, they ask everyone who buys certain products.

[Lang Spoon]

Say no more. <taps nose>

[ursus arctos]

I still get carded at baseball stadia and certain grocery stores.

I was born in the Eisenhower Administration

The lady on the right looks like the love-child of Farah Fawcett-Majors and Kate Garroway.

[Lang Spoon]

Her hair is just fantastically Fawcett.

[Gerontophile]

No, fuck that. Grass is legal. I was talking "botox".

[Walt Flanagans Dog]

I got ID'd at Madison Square Garden, and the guy wouldn't accept my UK driving licence, and asked me for my passport, which of course I didn't have. I was 43 at the time, and had my then 16 year old son with me. I just went to the next bar along and didn't get ID'd at all.

[Lang Spoon]

Are they not strict with the id checks in legal dispensaries, Gero? Selling to minors would seem a recipe for being closed down.

[The Awesome Berbaslug!!!]

The lady on the right looks like the love-child of Farah Fawcett-Majors and Kate Garroway.

She looks like her face is bursting out of a curtain of hair. like less murderous "Here's Johnny."

the lad with the tache looks like Tosh lyons in the bill.

[Satchmo Distel]

Very good as always.

The DLT clip at the end of the podcast is horrible.

I do wonder how the fuck he got away with that, even in 1976. It's even worse than Chalkie in that the character gets some casual violence inflicted on him. If I'd been in, say, Peel's shoes and heard that, I might be considering my future, or at least some kind of complaint.

But then it's worth recalling that Bernard Manning was entertaining senior police officers with that brand of shit 20 years later.

[Furtho]

New episode today.

[G-Man]

1970. Taylor isn't even on the cards yet!

[Furtho]

No, that's the old episode that they a bit confusingly link to on Facebook as part of the announcement that there's a new episode today.

[Satchmo Distel]

"they a bit confusingly link to on Facebook" - Haven't seen the Facebook page, but Needham explains on Twitter that it's the 48th anniversary of that TOTP episode today. It contained some gems - Instant Karma and I Want You Back are two of the greatest singles ever released - but much utter dross like Barry Ryan. The cameramen seemed to be inventing upskirt porn.

[Furtho]

The Facebook post reads:

"Chart Music #19 drops later today. In the meantime, this episode we ram our critical fist into here was broadcast 48 years ago tonight [link to Chart Music #10: February 5th 1970 – Tony Blackburn’s World-Famous Kneecap-Warmers]."

[Satchmo Distel]

Yeah, I think it would have better to split it into two posts. Although the grammar is correct, it doesn't suit the way we look for announcements in rapid fire media formats, where we need a "one glance; OK, I've got it" format.
