Farters For Arse

View on Zencastr

If you're looking for a lighthearted and obscure music podcast, episode 45 has it all: music, poetry, movies, anagrams, and a special report from the Shiiine On Weekender in Skegness.

The brothers Woodward have lots to discuss as they review another tune from the '90s Derby Music scene and a new/old track by Simon G. Richardson.

It’s a jam-packed episode of the This Are Johnny Domino podcast that features just one Johnny Domino song. What's going on??

Featuring in no particular order:

• 24-hour middle-aged people
• Hi Ho Silverheels
• Bez's pool party
• Too many references to Ned's Atomic Dustbin

Giles and Steve scratch their heads and wonder aloud about the future of the podcast. Have they reached the bottom of the barrel? What lies ahead for their self-referential and (hopefully) entertaining musical odyssey?

Warning: contains health issues talk and potentially offensive material (especially if you were in a Derby band called Scribble during the 1990s).

Also includes:

• PSAs: a PSA
• Bleeps
• Predictable music
• Unity through chips.
• Was Enos Boss Hogg’s son?
