Satan Lied To Me

View on Zencastr

Gather closely round the fire, young'uns… the old Woodward brothers are about to start weaving their weird tales about the Before Times. Can those lemon drops they mention really be mighty?

As you strain to imagine the musical land of "nineties-derby", by equal parts bewitched and confused by their rambling words, you will wonder, open-mouthed, what is this "texanbar" they tell of?

Music this episode is from Selina Kyle, Mad Brando, and Johnny Domino!

The more studious souls amongst you may wish to avail yourselves of the notes and links we have thoughtfully compiled to accompany this episode way down yonder.

• Pale boys in a dark room
• Steve goes to an Emo gig
• When Giles left part of his brain in a field
