At The Punk Rock Factory


"Punk is not really a style of music. It was more a state of mind" - Mike Watt

Steve and Giles, (two actual brothers) unearth a song from their extremely angsty college band and then marvel at the understated wonder that is Frankie Machine. There's also a fabulous song about loving a body part and a musical joke that seemed to get lost.

If that's not enough for you, we've got…
  • Poetry!
  • Beauty!
  • Enmity!
  • Drollery!

I Lick You


Oh blimey.

In this episode, brothers Steve and Giles tumble recklessly into a retro-void.

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.

Including a candidate for "The Eternal Halls Of The Four Track Gods" and a brand new "Childhood Themed" recording.

It's really fantastic. You know it is, it really is.

Featuring:
  • "Howay man, it's Lou Reed!"
  • Tommytwentytoes gets paid in full
  • DJ Steve’s advert disco
  • More revisionist history and problematic lyrics

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.
