Look elsewhere, my friend. 

Here at the This Are Johnny Domino podcast we pride ourselves on delivering the finest brotherly ramblings and lo-fi arsing about.

They roll around with joyful abandon in a garden of lo-fi delights... and gorge themselves silly on the ripe fruits of nostalgia and creativity.

Giles’ Lyrics:

I was at Wollaton Park
On a Saturday
I was surrounded by meatheads of all kinds.
Very few people
Were dancing to the
90s house music at 4.30.
The sort of people that I tolerated
But didn’t get on with
Were abound.
I still felt the same way
About them at five decades as at two.

So I had to do something to relax

I went to the toilet

And as I circulated back
Via a small marquee
Full of despicable people.
I was ambushed by
Two short middle-aged women
Who I vaguely recognised
But could not place.

So I had to do something to relax

They recognised me
And were pleased to see me
After a finitude of seconds
I recognised them as neighbours.
We talked of children
And life on our street
And they guessed my job
After one or two guesses.
It was a friendly exchange
With a tinge of sexual tension
I bid them goodbye
And danced away.

But then I met them later
And it went less well.

Obsolete Sunday

Oo la la! Je voudrais une glace! Ou est la piscine?
