PUNKY! - 03-09-2024
And now, live from the heart of Sherwood Forest, here's a couple of right old bandits.
It's Punky.
This is Punky.
Gooper, Gooper.
Hectolo.
Well done, you found Punky Radio. My name's Paulie Edwards.
My name's Tony Hearn.
And this is Rats, Rats, Rats.
No!
And I probably won't be back.
And I'm sorry, Adrian, but I do not love you!
I'm sorry, Adrian!
I'm making a list of popular things.
And number 56 is making a list of popular things.
It's number 56.
Life is not like a box of anything.
I don't want to have what she's having.
There's no father beans in her mouth, Chianti.
I really do not need to be shown the money.
He made me an offer, but I refused it.
No, I'm not an excellent driver.
I will not say hello to your little friend.
If you build it, nothing will happen.
I don't think I can just keep swimming.
Where are we going?
We're definitely going to need roads!
Where are we going?
We're definitely going to need roads!
I'm making a list of popular things.
And number 56 is making a list of popular things.
It's number 56.
Here's Paul.
You're listening to Guanabass underneath us right now.
Thanks for doing such a great job on the bed this week, Tony.
That's okay.
That was Rats, Rats, Rats.
They are a gospel.
Gospork.
Not Gospork.
Gosport Punk Duo.
You don't want to go to Gospork, mate.
You try it by Portsmouth, it's full of pigs.
Gosport Punk Duo.
And I'm very, very pleased to receive that brilliant song to start the show.
Which is kind of, it's a bit of a jokey number, really, in that all of the lines in it are lines.
Well, no lines from films, but nevertheless, absolutely brilliant.
And I thought a great way to start the show.
You can find out more about Rats, Rats, Rats by going to...
I can't stop shouting.
They write it like that.
I'm going to shout it like that.
By going to their Facebook page, which is...
Facebook.com forward slash Rats, Rats, Rats.
No.
Facebook.com forward slash P forward slash Rats hyphen Rats hyphen Rats hyphen 1-0-0-0-8-5-2-8-7-4-8-1-1-8-7.
Why is that, Tony?
I don't know.
But anyway, I know the internet sometimes struggles to get to Gospork.
So maybe that's why.
Well done anyway, Rats.
Rats, Rats, Rats.
What a great song.
Find out a lot more about them.
They got a lot more stuff going on.
And I think we might have played them before.
Oh.
I can't remember when.
I'm not about to do research.
It's not going to work.
So fuck that.
I do, however, have a joke for you.
Excellent.
If you have a joke or poem for me, please do interview.
Oh, right.
So it's probably going to be the internet one, Tony Neal, by the way.
Okay.
If you have a joke or poem for me,
please do interview me.
Please do email PaulieBee at PunkyRadio.com.
Titling your email, Comedy Suburbs if it's a joke,
and Poetry Corner if it's a poem.
In recent weeks, we've made efforts to expand our joke universe.
So much so, we even got emails from people who are traditionally in other sections of the show.
True.
And this week, back to normal.
Absolutely fuck all except Jeff.
Thank the Lord for Jeff.
Let's hear his thing.
Extremely proud of that.
Excellent.
It might not be my finest work, but it's up there.
It's one of the best.
It is, yeah.
Jeff says,
When I was performing last weekend, we had a Polish sound man and a Czech one too.
Jeff, P.S.
My girlfriend calls me love machine,
but only because I'm bad at tennis.
Jeff, you could have done a lot better with that joke.
Yeah.
You could have done extra things with it, but nevertheless,
valid, but the Czech one too wins it for this week.
What do you reckon?
Like it?
Yeah.
That's because it's a band joke and you're going bands.
I understand that reference.
You do understand that reference.
And you said that with real excitement.
I understand that reference.
Anyway, let's hear his thing again.
The noise for Jeff.
So proud of that.
Excellent.
I should reason there.
So proud of that.
Damn it.
Because the next two tracks are coming from Dammit Records.
You know how it works, don't you?
Can you just explain it now?
We'll get this out of the way early.
You pay a subscription fee, which is either monthly or weekly.
I think it's monthly and you receive music every month.
It works out about 50 beer songs, doesn't it?
I think you get, I think there's 10 or eight or something.
And what is that?
What's Dammit's thing?
It's dammitrecords.bandcamp.com.
And it's D-A-M-M-I-T.
Yeah.
It is.
I'll say all that now because we're playing two tracks in a row,
staging for the Monokids.
But first, a band I don't believe I've ever heard of before with one of the
greatest band names I've seen recently.
We've heard from Rass, Rass, Rass.
Now it's time for Polar Bears in Purgatory.
Absolutely brilliant.
They are Scottish melodic punk.
Of course they are, Tony.
Come via Dammit.
What is Polar Bears in Purgatory's bandcamp?
Campage.
Polar Bears in Purgatory.bandcamp.com.
Boringly, yes.
Polar Bears in Purgatory.bandcamp.com.
Tony Wong, Polar Bears in Purgatory.bandcamp.com.
Stay tuned for the Monokids.
This is Burning Bridges.
One million chances to be sat.
From waiting up standing benches, no way to be burned.
One million chances to be a decent guy.
Maybe that's beyond you.
I might be burning bridges
But I don't want to go where the bridges go
Perhaps we've got different priorities
Perhaps this comes from my unperceived inferiorities
Or maybe you and I should be the best of us
Maybe that's beyond you
I might be burning bridges
But I don't want to go where the bridges go
I might be burning bridges
But I don't want to go where the bridges go
I might be burning bridges
But I don't want to go where the bridges go
guitar solo
I don't wanna go
Smacktard.
You're listening to The Roots Underneath
us right now. Thanks for doing such a great job
on the beds this week, Tony. That's okay.
That was The Mono Kids, and the track called
I Don't Care. They are two-headed
garish punk from the low
countries. I say that, not actually two-headed.
They were two-piece,
but I made myself laugh when I wrote it.
They are two-piece,
but I put two-headed garish punk, man.
That's what I want to see. I want to see more
two-headed garish punks. Anyway,
and I put from the low countries,
because I'm not entirely sure specifically
which bit of Holland
they're from.
But it might get
a little bit Belgian.
I don't think so. I think they are Dutch, but
I'm not absolutely sure. There's only two of them. Well, there's two-headed.
They're from
outer space, aren't they, really?
What is The Mono Kids
Bandcamp page?
monokids.bandcamp.com
It is. T-H-E-M-O-N-O-K-I-D-S
themonokids.bandcamp.com
making it Tony 2, probably
being the same one. And that concludes
our latest edition of
Dammit!
Caused Podcast on our own.
Well done, us.
Have you got any Facebook comments for us?
No. Oh, well, that means
it's not time for anything. No.
So shall we just have a
pregnant pause and reflection?
That's a yes, isn't it?
That certainly is a yes. I was expecting you
to go for that. That was brilliant. I really
enjoyed that. I love a pregnant pause.
You really do, don't you? But as you found out
when we were on Pantsfield 1-0-Cog,
more than a second or two, and it becomes
very uncomfortable.
Well, when podcasting
is better than live radio. It is, yeah.
Get away with it. It is so much better.
Oh, it is.
Yeah, if you're on Facebook. Yeah, as much as anything
else, because you can edit it out, cunt.
Yeah, that's true. Yeah.
Or you can try and do it live
if Sting's singing, and I don't know.
Yeah.
Did we do that right? Who knows?
I did. I did nail that, in fact.
I did nail it. Yeah.
I did nail it, in fact.
What was that? Do you remember that song?
I know it was early police, but what was it?
Well, there's a very early one
called Dead End Job,
which is a real fast
punk number that he says
that he drops the C-bomb in.
But there's also Rehumanise
Yourself on Ghost
in the Machine,
where he sings, cunt,
a couple of times.
It was definitely the punky one then, wasn't it?
I do remember it being really fast.
Yeah, I do.
I do also know that it was
a bare-knuckle
local commercial
radio ride.
But we got
away with it. We did.
But yeah, so Facebook, if you're on it,
leave us a comment. Can't be bothered, but
it's been coming for a while. We've been scraping
through the comments. So let us know.
Or get in touch another way.
Email us. Whatever you want.
Just get in touch.
Yeah, I don't think it'll happen.
No, I don't.
I think most people listen to this when they're walking the dog,
they're in transit, or they're not
at liberty to send anything at all, and that's why
they don't. I don't think many people sit
at a laptop while they're listening
thinking, you know, I know what I'll do.
Waiting for the next song.
I'll send them messages.
It's not
something you really think you're doing, is it? And then afterwards
it's gone. You're onto something else.
Some people can have long-term relationships on the basis of a Facebook
message. It can happen. You know, you've thought,
come on, send us a message.
I don't want to.
Who are these people, Tony? I don't know, the weirdos.
Well, you're not really
encouraging them there, are you?
Dear weirdos,
please get in touch with us
with your weird spindly
writing and your nonsense.
Yeah. Get that phone. Everyone's got a phone
in their pocket. I wonder how many people listen
to podcasts. Who's got it on their phone?
Surely. They're walking the dog.
It's probably won't
happen, but if it does, we're grateful.
There you go.
Right.
Most of the bands this week have got absolutely brilliant
names, right? They've got fantastic names.
Rats, Rats, Rats, Polar Bears in
Purgatory, The Monokids, and now
Liz Borden. Although she
was formerly known as Lizzie Borden
and The Axes, she's now on her own.
Liz Borden. Now,
I forgot to put that away. Oh, I put
down Coast to Coast
Indie Rock because
she started off in Boston,
New York. I think her second ever gig
was at CBGB's with the band.
But then she settled on the West
Coast. I think she's in LA now.
What is Liz
Borden's website?
LizBordenBand.com
LizBorden.com
It's really, after everything
else we've got this week, all the weird stuff,
I think it's great. Easily
findable, Tony.
Locatable. Liz Borden, L-I-Z
and that's a Z. Even though
I heard a kid at the football yesterday say
Z. Oh, I nearly punched
him.
His dad was massive, so I did it, but
I was appalled. We'll maybe
talk about that in a bit. Liz Borden, L-I-Z
B-O-R-D-E-N dot
com. Tony, three points
on the internet, one. This is a shake.
You're the fire
You're someone to

Did you do anything last week?
There's the usual work
Nothing going on music-wise
But on Friday, I ventured to Lincolnshire
Lincolnshire
And yeah, it's further than I thought
It's a big old place, Lincolnshire
Really is
It doesn't look like
And because it's flat
And the roads are straight
You think you'll get anywhere quickly
But you just don't
You really don't
I don't really understand why not
You seem to disappear into fog
And come out 15 minutes later
200 yards down the road
It's nuts
But yeah, so two houses
One in, I don't know
Lissington, Glentham
These places are real
They really exist
Yeah, yeah, I know
It's mythical
Yeah, but it's like
The only people
It's like people exist there
People travel through
And it's normally not discussed
And there's that brilliant film
I say brilliant film
There's a film I've never seen
That I haven't mentioned before
That was Patrick Stewart's
First film after Star Trek
Right
And it's about a
It's about a Lincolnshire
Farmer
And I think he's a sheep wrangler
Or something
And he does line dancing
And he's completely the opposite character
But I've never seen it
What is it?
It's called Papa something or whatever
But I've never seen it
And I'd really like to
But it's never been streamed or anything
It was just a small budget thing
That he wanted to make after Star Trek
Wow
Yeah
You don't see many films about Lincolnshire
Lincolnshire
It's mythical
It is mythical
And the way you say it
Just makes it
It's so evocative, Tony
It gives you that air of wonder, doesn't it?
That air of mystery
People are coming from all around the world
To visit the
Look at the thing
They'll be thinking
Lord of the Rings
The Shire
Lincolnshire
I think you should say
Lincolnshire
With no music behind you at all
Just so people can hear it
Exactly as it should be
After three
One, two, three
Lincolnshire
Amazing
So that was Friday
That was Friday
Weekend working
I've been
I've been clearing
I've been clearing my back garden
Not a euphemism
I've been
Getting ready to
Yes it is, Tony
It is and it isn't
I can multitask
Doing the house up still
We're trying to get it done
At the end of the week
But the garden's in a state
And so is my arsehole
Don't do it
No, but it's
Yeah, so doing that
Is a usual story
It's a usual story of work
Houses
Garden
And mythical places around the UK
Probably in the flat parts
But that line is the only bit
People are going to remember
From this show, Tony
And so is my arsehole
How was your week?
Well
I spent most of the week
Completing
All the seasons of Chuck
Right, right
And I did
And then I thought
You know, I liked it
Except I watched it from season three
Because I'd watched the first two before
And then I thought
Oh, you know what?
I enjoyed it so much
I go back to the start
I started watching the first one
That was brilliant
I absolutely love it
And then
On Saturday
I went to see
Nottingham Thigh to be wolves
And it was an alright match
It wasn't a great match
It was a great match
It was alright
It did finish 1-1
I had a good time there
But as discussed
There was a kid there
Who was sat near me
And I heard him say
And I'm
I sit in
Right, it's
Seat 58
In row ZE
And this kid
And his dad
Came and stood
Right next to me
And the kid said
It's this row
And his dad said
No, it's not
It's the row behind us
And the kid said
No, no, it's Z
Still
After the game
I hot-footed him
To Bunkers Hill
Because I was going to
Rock in the Boneyard 4
And I'd been to
I'd been to 2 and 3
I didn't get the first
But 2 and 3
That were at Rough Trade
Didn't really like it
At Rough Trade
Good bands
But I don't really like
Rough Trade
Anyway, it's moved to
Bunkers Hill
And as you know
Absolutely brilliant venue
For a gig like that
The bands are upstairs
The bar's downstairs
There's seating out front
It isn't interfered by
Wankers walking past
Because of where it is
Or anything like that
Yeah
And I think
I saw some bands
I saw the Gruffs
Who I've seen before
Who I really like actually
I think they're really, really good
And the first band I saw
When I got there
Were the Wyndham Earls
They haven't spent
Spelled Wyndham
Like in Twin Peaks
Wyndham Earls
More than carries in Twin Peaks
But
I think it should be spelled
W-Y-N-D-H-A-M
But they spell it
W-Y-N-D-O-M
Because a lot of bands
Spell things wrong
Don't they Tony
And the Bunkers Babies
Wow
Good at music
Not as good at spelling
Absolutely brilliant
Garage Bunker band
I've got to say
They were
Absolutely terrific
I also
Saw
Who else did I see
I saw
Surfing Wombats
Who were established
In 1987
And had been on
On bill
Psychobilly stuff
Going back
As far as the club foot
And I've managed
Over the last
What
37 years
To completely avoid them
It's just
One of those things
We've never been
They've never been on the bill
When I was in the room
Sort of thing
Saw them the first time
Absolutely great
Loved them
Right
And the last band
Were the Zip Heads
Cool
And the Zip Heads
As we know were great
I apologise to Ray
The lead singer of the band
For giving me bad advice
Ten years ago
When I said
Pick a genre Ray
Otherwise you'd be
All over the place
He very sensibly
Didn't listen to me
And they gave us
Yet another
Tremendous gig
The highlight of the gig
Was not the music though
After
Rocking the Boneyard
Finished
There was apparently
Some goth night on
I don't know when
It was going to start
Because I didn't leave
Until about midnight
And there weren't many goths there
But a couple of goths
Had ventured upstairs
Including this goth lady
Who had decided
That the music was great
And she'd have a dance
Only problem is
There's some old fuckers there
Wanting to have a wreck
Right
So these old boys
Down there
Having a bit of a wreck
Down the front
And they accidentally
Barged into her
She was
She was onto the band
Tony
She looked around at them
And stared
So completely
Brilliantly
That they literally
Withered away
They just vanished
They just moved away
Stopped dancing
Moved to the back of the room
And she
Just carried on
Keep on keeping on
And I thought
Fair play to you
Goth bird
Honestly
She looked around at them
So it was such a
I was standing nearer
So I saw the stare
It was amazing
It was really impressive
And these
These big old fellas
Just fucked off
It was incredible
Anyway
After that
I decided
I'd walk to the bus
Got to the bus
Missed the bus
Waited for ages
There wasn't one coming
So I walked
Up Mansfield Road
And then I walked
Along Forest Road
West
Which as you know
Is one of the
Prostitute roads
In town
And I'm a single man
A bit drunk
Walking along
Late at night
Only saw one Tom
She was having a row
With
I imagine
Her pimp
Right
So
I didn't stop
And ask them for directions
Or anything
I just kept walking
Got up to the tram stop
Just as the tram went by
Missed that
Walked down the forest tram stop
Missed that tram
Ended up walking
All the way home
Left the venue
At about twelve
It's about a forty five minute walk
Got in just for two
Wow
What a night
And that was my last week
So now for something
Completely different
I'd been threatened
To play Zodiac Mindwalk
And the love reactions
High pieces of love
For quite some time
I believe we did play it
Once before
A few years ago
There was a reason
For me to play it again
They never got
Around to it
But then I
Couldn't find a decent version
I've only got it on record
I've only got it on vinyl
So there was no way
To get it to you
So
I eventually
Found the official video
I didn't even know
There was an official video
But the official video
Is five minutes long
The song's not five minutes long
There's about a minute
And a half chat
On the start
But it's so good
Because it's Zodiac Mindwalk
Being a high piece of love
And it's fantastic
So we're going to play
The whole lot
Alright
Okay
So
As far as I know
Zodiac Mindwalk
And the love reaction
Are not disbanded
They're just not gigging
At the moment
Right
I've actually written
Something down about them
That I found
Where's this here?
I've got to read it
Oh no
I've shut the
I've shut the thing
It's alright
I'm going to gas about
While I find the thing
Because I want to find the thing
Alright
Because this thing
Is worth finding
And the thing that I closed
I didn't need to close
And now I need to open it again
I know where it is
I'm getting there
And it should be
Here
And it is
So the least thing
In Zodiac Mindwalk
Is real name
Is Mark Manning
Right
And there's this little line
I found about him
That says
Mark Manning
Is the celebrated
Co-author
Of the Bad Wisdom Trilogy
With his friend
Bill Drummond
And has had several
Other titles published
Including the infamous novella
Get Your Cock Out
Absolutely terrific
I love this band
I can't
I got this song
This song originally
I got a demo version
That was out on
I think Melody Maker
When they used to have
EPs on the front
In about 80 something
Love this song
We're going to play it now
What is Zodiac Mindwalk
And the love reaction
And I must say
I put and A and D
When actually they use
The whatever it's called
Ampersand
You love saying that
Don't you
Do

Spill it in his house
In his bathroom
In his mother's house
In your house

Why would he be doing it
Every day and every night
He would be there bashing away
And mauling and self abusing himself

Free-stopper

Free-stopper
Yeah
You're listening to Gnarly Wave underneath us right now.
Thanks for doing such a great job with beds this week, Tony.
That's okay.
That was Zodiac Mind Warp and the Love Reaction
and the classic High Priest of Love
from their first album.
Which is a Motorhead-y sounding album
but their second album
which I also have
which I think is called
Tattooed Beat Messiah
is much, much more American rock
it's more polished
and it's the one that Prime Movie came from.
There you go.
Also, my apologies for the previous 10-minute link.
Let's see if we can do this one a bit quicker.
Have you got a gig for us?
I do.
That means it must be time for
Tony's International Gig Guide
The Inconscientious
Yes, thanks for your gigs.
If you have a gig for me, don't forget
you can email me
tony at punkyrager.com
I want to know who's playing
where are they playing
how much is it to watch them play

so I have found an inappropriate gig
in the desired timeline.
I thought you said then
I found an inappropriate gig.
No.
I thought terrific.
Maybe that's my one for the future.
Yeah.
So this Saturday
which is Saturday, isn't it?
It is Saturday.
It's the Brum Punk's Picnic
in Birmingham, of course.
Oh, right.
Which Luke's band, The Nurks,
were involved in that, weren't they?
One point?
Yeah, probably.
I've definitely heard it.
That would make sense, though, wouldn't it?
So yeah, so there's the Castle and Falcon.
It's 20 quid
but it's got CJ Wildheart headlining
but you've got Spunkfuck
Cain and Eruptions,
Liability, Sucker Punch,
Heads and Horrors are playing.
Looks to be at least 10 bands.
Brilliant.
So...
That's one hell of a picnic.
It is.
I wonder...
I don't know if you can bring your own, like, blanket.
I don't know.
Safety pin sandwiches.
Yeah.
Well, fuck it.
But yeah.
So yeah, isn't it?
Tartan flask with a couple of Bondi straps on it.
Beautiful.
It's early as well.
2pm start.
Yeah.
Of course it is.
It's a picnic.
So, yeah.
If you are in Birmingham,
it's on Saturday, 2pm.
It's going to be an all-day.
I think it finishes about midnight.
10 bands, 20 quid.
£2 a band.
It's perfect.
It's a great thing.
I like the Birmingham Punks picnic.
Yeah.
Maybe next year.
Yeah, but that's the gig.
So that concludes
Tony's International Gig Guide.
It's not in Lincolnshire,
but it should be.
It should be, isn't it?
Yeah.
Right, then.
Well,
how about some punk rock
from Liège, Belgium?
Ooh.
Sound good to you?
Yeah.
It comes in the shape,
I should say melodic punk, really,
but it comes in the shape
of a band called Fervents.
F-E-R-V-E-N-T-S.
Any time I hear the word Fervents,
I think of Fovents.
F-O-V-E-N-T.
And they're placed in, I think, Wiltshire,
where they have Fervent badges.
But that's another story
for another day.
This is Fervents, Tony.

Let go, let go, let it go while you can
And I've never noticed it was over
And all the doors were shut
It all died in the fire
Enough is never enough
Love letters on paper planes
Paper planes turning to dust
Forever grounded in the rain
At the airport in my jacket
And I was busy giving up
Busy leaving you
I was busy giving up
Busy leaving you
Let go, let go
Let it go while you can
Let go, let go
Let it go while you can
Let go, let go
Let it go while you can
Let go, let go
You're listening to 50 Foot Combo underneath us right now.
Thanks for being such a great guy on the bed this week, Tony.
That's okay.
That was Fervent's track called Let Go.
Find out more at ferventstopbandcamp.com.
Are you doing anything this week?
It will be the same thing.
It'll be house and work.
Got to get this house done.
Got to find somewhere to live.
So that's that.
And then weekend, nothing.
There was going to be a band practice, but that's been moved.
We haven't practiced in a while, so there's nothing going on.
So it's probably good.
So we can concentrate on getting the house polished.
What are you up to?
I'm sorting out a tour.
I'm doing some planning.
And I'm doing some of my own damage,
which we will now cover in reverse order.
That's quite smart.
So when I got back from the gig in the early hours of this morning,
I checked my messages and there was a text from NatWest Bank
saying that I had had some unusual transactions.
And there were two Facebook payments that had been declined
that I didn't recognize and a withdrawal of £100 cash.
Fuck.
Then I remembered I had earlier on in the day
withdrawn £100 cash, so I could cover that one, right?
And they give you the option then.
They send them through one text after the other
and you put Y or N as to whether you actually did it or not, right?
So I said Y, yes, to my £100 cash thing.
And the two Facebook ones, I put N, no.
And then about 20 minutes later, I thought, oh, fuck.
That's the fee for the ad for my tour at the end of the month.
And I'd completely forgotten about it
because basically, I paid for an ad.
Completely forgot about it.
They obviously tried to do it.
It didn't work.
They tried it again.
It didn't work.
And now I've declined it and made out that Facebook are trying to hack me.
Right.
So I'm going to spend the next few days.
They said they stopped the card, even though they obviously didn't need to.
So I'm going to get a new card sent to me.
But I don't use that account that much, so it's fine.
Anyway, so that I've sorted out.
I'm also starting to plan.
The mad trips I'm going to have next year.
This year, I've covered all of the Canary Islands.
I don't know whether I mentioned last week, did I, what I've got planned for next year?
I don't think so, no.
If I say it starts off on Tuesday, January the 28th with Up Helly Art in Shetland.
Absolutely.
You have not mentioned that to me at all.
You'll know I'm in for some fun, but I will talk more as it becomes finalised.
But I am coming to a mad event near you in 2025, basically.
That's my plan.
And this Saturday, September 7th, I've already got about 15 people booked on my tour, finally.
So I'll be having people out on my tour and probably having a drink with some of them afterwards.
And that's it.
And now for the kind of musical juxtaposition that does not occur on any other music show, Tony.
Starting off with Berlin Rockers with a new album out called Horny Tears From Hell.
I talk, of course, about wax legs, female-fronted hard rock tone.
Excellent.
What is Wax Legs Bandcamp page?
Waxlegs.bandcamp.com
It is waxlegs.bandcamp.com, W-A-X-L-E-G-S.bandcamp.com
Tony Five for the internet too.
Stay tuned for the sensational country blues wonders.
But first, Acid Maniac.
Acid Maniac.
Oh, the journey is gone
Let's make it
Oh, you wanna let us survive
But the sharpness is just a one fall
She'll talk to us for you
When the tears fall
She'll tell us
Let's make it
Oh, the journey is gone
Oh, let's make it
Oh
You wanna get to the rest
Just knock and knock
It's the fight for
When the tears fall
She'll talk to us for you
But the tear
She'll tell us
Let's make it
Oh, the journey is gone
Let's make it
Oh, the journey is gone

Things would be in disarray.
Without the force of gravity,
everything would float away.

united states and it is absolutely brilliant i love it um all the way from jersey city which

another track from this album i have download he sent me a lovely email saying hi there
um you played something by me a couple of years ago on your really cool podcast

Thanks, every time I wanted to.
Gate to action, please.
Thank you very much.
Steve's been in touch.
Heg-tollo Steve.
He says heg-tollo Tony.
An 18-month-old toddler was travelling with her grandparents
from Guiyang to Shanghai on Juniao Airlines on August 24th.
You loved saying all of that, didn't you?
I did.
And cried throughout the close to three-hour flight.
Oh, I'd have thrown you out the window.
Two passengers took the child into the bathroom to educate her.
I thought I was going to say to flush it.
Educate her about proper behaviour with her grandmother's consent,
according to CNN.
The woman went into the bathroom with the child and locked the door,
with one telling her,
we won't let you out unless you stop crying.
Whilst it seems to me like the woman had a good idea,
my nomination is for Issa Twat is for the grandmother from Guiyang, China,
who could not stop the baby from crying
and then let a couple of strangers take her to educate her.
Steve.
I don't know.
I mean, look, obviously Grandma's a twat.
She's taking a baby on a plane.
There you go.
Fair enough.
I'm fine with this.
Oh, yeah, of course, yeah.
But then we're childless.
We are.
We're not joyless.
Well.
I am yet to see a single person
who genuinely has more joy brought into their life
with the addition of a child.
Yep.
They make out, they have.
They pretend.
They say you don't understand.
They give it all that.
But you see that.
Deadness behind their eyes
as they change another nappy
to yet another school run.
Once again, have their own fun.
Utterly destroyed by the needs of a child.
And you just go, oh, why you fucking bother?
And we can see when that child leaves home,
the big pit of emptiness that engulfs their lives
that we've had to deal with 16 years ago.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, who's laughing now?
And their little skint.
Yeah.
Fuck off.
They got nothing.
When they say having a kid is the worst thing you can do to the planet,
they might as well just say
having a kid is the worst thing you can do for yourself.
Fuck the planet.
Yeah.
Yourself, your wallet, and the planet.
Yeah.
Yes, of course, I'm all for this.
Okay.
So, the grandmother from Guiyang, China
who took her child on a plane
is a twat.
Yeah.
And any of you who are thinking of having children,
or have children,
yeah, I mean it.
I mean it.
Right, last track this week.
Here's a band I don't know how to say.
You can help out with this.
It's spelt texture freck.
I suspect they're texture freak,
as in texture frequency.
Do you think so?
I do, yeah.
Is it something, is it a modern phrase?
Not that I've heard of, no.
I'm not so daft then.
Hardcore punk from Minneapolis, Tony.
What a great way to end this musically curious show.
What I want to know is what is texture freck's bandcamp page?
texturefreck.bandcamp.com?
It is t-e-x-t-u-r-e-f-r-e-q.
texturefreck.bandcamp.com.
Tony, six Bully Beans next week.
Yeah.
A fabulous win.
I thought the UN, I'm lost.
I'll be back tomorrow.
See you guys tomorrow.
Bye.
Don't let you break all my heart
Take me home and lock me up
Put me far in my heart
Tell me, what did you do to me?
Expulsion
How do I expulsion?
Exposable
Don't expose me
Exposable
Expulsion
How do I expulsion?
Exposable
Don't expose me
Expulsion
How do I expulsion?
Exposable
Don't expose me
Exposable
That's about the size of it for this week.
That was Texture Freak.
I fought the UN and lost.
This show, Tony, I think,
has been a little bit like a 3D image of my naked body
in that it's rather curious at top and bottom
with a rather expanding and burgeoning midriff.
Right.
Maybe you could mention one or two.
There are a few ways people can listen to this show
that they haven't done before.
Yep, don't forget.
Visit our website, punkyradio.com.
Later shows on the front page.
Various things on there.
All the shows.
Check them out.
You can find us also on the Spotify.
Spotify.
If they ever move the headquarters of Spotify
to Lincolnshire,
it's going to be amazing.
It's going to take me ages to say it.
Yeah.
Yeah, we're in the podcast section.
Also Amazon, Amazon Music,
in their podcast bit.
And don't forget,
if you get yourself one of the Alexas,
why not pollute her with the Punky Radio skill?
Go to the skill store,
search Punky Radio.
That's what I want to do,
Alexa pollution.
Pollution by Poco.
Mmm.
I want to spoil her.
What a stench.
And yeah, so yeah, do that, do this.
Give her a tickle.
It's all good.
Yeah.
I might see one or two of you
on my tour this weekend, yeah?
Never know.
Other than that, say goodbye, Tony.
Goodbye, Tony.
Apougue, apougue.
Apougue.
Apougue, apougue.
Gee, that was good.
