Winky And The Stain

Special bonus fan-supplied content alert! Winky and the Stain come out the wrong way, as Ambient Dad remixes our last episode.

Meantime, enjoy this and please feel free to submit your own manglings, suggestions or contributions. x

After literally minutes of labour, Winky and the Stain are delivered of a fresh bundle of joy. Come and see The Stain kicking and screaming, while Winky views everything with the innocent eyes of a child. Our Birth special features more painfully honest confessions; also, pleading, petulance, confusion and regret.

Oh my, this is embarrassing. Winky and the Stain don’t know where to put their faces while discussing the mature, adult theme of sex. Sexy sex. Filthy sexy sex. Sorry mother. Carry on.

Hello listeners, sorry it’s been such a while. Winky and the Stain have been extraordinarily busy men for the last few weeks, but we promise to be back up to regular speed soon. In the meantime, here’s an episode we recorded back in the summer and held back for just such an idle moment. Special guest oracle Jim ‘Jimmy’ Fish is in the studio to know stuff about the Greek Myths. Why Winky is in the studio is anyone’s guess. Denny Crockett and Ike Egan – Ulysses 31 Theme The Walker Brothers – Orpheus Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazelwood – Some Velvet Morning Julia Holter – The Falling Age Wild Billy Childish & The Spartan Dreggs – Taliesin The Dregg Aphrodite – Ganja Man Bill Laswell – Cyclops Aaron Neville – Hercules U-Roy – Gorgon Wise Agrovators – The Mighty Gorgon Cornell Campbell – The Gorgon Buck 65 – The Centaur Alasdair Roberts – You Muses Assist X-103 – Temple of Poseidon Led Zeppelin – Achilles Last Stand Adonis – Do It Properly

One zero zero one one one zero one zero zero zero That's the language of computers. And it's a language The Stain hopes to learn as he's joined in the studio by advanced human emotion simulator, The WinkyBot 3000. Join us in the digital future!

The sky surrounds us. Winky and the Stain are surprised that nobody else has noticed. Help us raise awareness about this important social issue by listening to some ace tunes (and giving us a 5-star rating on iTunes).

Beware! Oh, beware! Enthustiastic paranormal skeptic Winky messes with forces he can't possibly understand, in the Winky and the Stain spooky, ghostly, ghastly Halloween special. Warning: contains terrifying real life audio footage of ghost and ghoulies, which some listeners may find intolerable.

Join the Stain and an increasingly delirious Winky in narrowly avoiding a watery grave, as we set sail on the good ship WATS. Learn how to cope when cast adrift on the ocean wave with Winky's useful survivor's manual. We play some lovely tunes too...

On one hand this could be the greatest piece of broadcasting ever. On the other hand it could be two men labouring what is, at best, a weak comedy premise. Winky and the Stain discuss Winky’s crippling cack-handedness and the Stain’s disturbing authoritarian leanings, in their Left/Right special! Melt Banana – Lefty Dog (Run, Caper, Run) Jimi Hendrix – Crosstown Traffic Black Sabbath – War Pigs Rhon Silva – Get It Right ESG – Hold Me Right Acid Mothers Temple & the Melting Paraiso UFO – Right About Rainbow 1 etc Can – Yoo Doo Right Half Man Half Biscuit – Asparagus Next Left The Meters – Yeah You’re Right rude_NHS – This is Good Left-Handed Technique Hyetal – Left Isan – Zip Left, Zip Right DMX Krew – Left Brain Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds – Red Right Hand Joseph Nothing – Last Rights

With Producer Will away, and The Stain feeling all lonely, we take a trudge up the grizzled hill to Winky's Laboratorium Electronicum*. Ground breaking science and discovery awaits the adventurous listener as we study biological enhancement, time travel and matter transference. *The emphasis is on 'cum' Marisa Anderson – Electricity Pavan – Holy Volts Daniel Avery – Need Electric Underground Resistance – Entering Quadrant Five Jimmy Murphy – Electricity Electric Masada – Kedem Ssekinomu – Wireless Raymond Scott – Cindy Electronium Bernard Cribbins – My Resistance Is Low Stereolab – Super-Electric Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band - Electricity Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark – Electricity Steve Reich – Electric Guitar Phase

We're out, on location this time. Producer Will has released us from his grimy hovel, out into the fields, to enjoy the quite beautiful festival of arts, noise and freedom that was Supernormal 2014. The Stain is on his rounds, being staggered by beauty, affronted by filth, and eroded by the elements. Occasionally he is joined by Winky. But really only very occasionally. Enormous thanks to Rich at Supernormal for letting us cover the event, Kemper Norton for toilet advice and disgusting wine, and Joseph Stannard for the jumping between bales game. Nighthammer – Neu X Ravioli Me Away – Hit By Love The Jelas – Love in the Time of Cantona Silver Stairs of Ketchikan – Wednesday Tapes Palehorse – Shit Columbo Pop-up Chat – Excerpt Phil Minton Choir - Rehearsal Laura Cannell – Hraefn Hroc Gnod – Big Chief Part 1 Kate Bush – Waking The Witch Bong – In the Shadow of the Towers Teeth of the Sea – All Human is Error Hacker Farm – The Death of the Real Henry Blacker – Pullin’ Like A Dray Laura Cannell – Black Earth

Stinky and the Wain. See what’s happened there? The words and letters have got all mixed up. Why? Because it’s the Winky and the Stain remix show! We play some of our favourite remixes, and Winky does a really annoying thing for AGES. Doormouse – Skelechairs (Venetian Snares Mix) King Tubby – Professional Dub King Tubby & Prince Jammy – Dub of Rights Anja McCloskey – Italian Song (rude_NHS Remix) Greg Ashby – Saul (TRUC remix) Bjork – All Is Full of Love (In Love With: Funkstorung Mix) Autechre – EP7/Envane Mix by Bogdan Raczynski Entitled Waiting For you Amidst The Mist Of Cars Signalling You DO Not Stop For Me Cookie Monster – C is For Cookies (Funky Version) Loose Joints – Is It All Over My Face?

Plants. Without them we'd die. And it's with a sober reckoning of this weight that Winky and the Stain slash and burn a path into the forest of wisdom. Soom T – Puff That Weed Can – Mushroom My Bloody Valentine – Thorn Golden Teacher – Dante and Pilgrim Beastie Boys – Pass The Mic Autechre – The Trees Ash – Cantina Band Alasdair Roberts – Down Where The Willow Wands Weep Bert Jansch – The Gardener Joanna Newsom – Peach, Plum, Pear Billy Cobham – Sorcery Owen Marshall – Electric Flower London Music Works – Bergerac Theme Robbie Basho – Chung Mei, The Chinese Orchid John Fahey – Bean Vine Blues Zapp & Roger – I Heard It Through The Grapevine Stevie Wonder – Venus Flytrap and the Bug Bee Mask – Fried Niteshades Weather Report – Elegant People Talk Talk – New Grass

We snagged him! We got somebody actually good on for once! It's the the lovely (yet eerie!) Kemper Norton, star of all you fashionable mags and that. We talk about working with the uncanny, The Outer Church, goths and Luke Vibert. All the touchstones, basically. Meanwhile Winky shows us how he sees the world and the Stain exorcises the spirit of music hall.

KICK OFF!! A fighting fit Winky meets a ring-rusty Stain in the new WATS Sports podcast. Cheer us on to victory. PEEP PEEP!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sOKuzo8nSY

Oh Listener, we're so sorry. We've stayed away so long... Poor old Producer Will took a nasty tumble and broke himself, but he's better now. And we've got a bonanza of guests, quiz, garage rock and 'other' for you, in our early morning, whiskey-fuelled show. The marvellous Winona Ryders are in The Stain's bedroom to promote they're brand new album, Evacuation Songs. And to talk about Danny Dyer. Buy the Winnies album here: http://thewinonaryders.bandcamp.com/album/evacuation-songs

Winky and the Stain podcasts; I question their blackness. Where do they come from, those funky samples wot all the successful artists sample? You're an educated listener, so you probably know. But that's not going to stop us telling you. And playing the songs. And the tunes that sample them. Basically it's a chance for us to indulge in some funk, some hiphop, some jungle... It's our 20th podcast, we'll indulge however we fancy. Featuring secret mystery guest star!

Popcorn and fizzy pop time. The magic of the silver screen. It's an audio-visual spectacular! No visuals though. It's an audio-visual spectacular without the visuals. Winky and the Stain are going to the pictures and they've got a date! They've both got the same date. I mean, they've got to pass him around. It's horrible really. Soundtracks anyway, that's the gist...

Body parts! We've all got them. An unashamed flaunting of bits, as Winky and the Stain sing and laugh and fling away their garments. You're NOT WELCOME!

Winky and the Stain undercover! Sometimes even the most talented entertainers run dry of ideas and are forced to fall back on repurposing the old, the hackneyed, the used-up. And so Winky and the Stain flounder about looking for new things to say about the art of the cover version. This kind of rubbish probably belongs in the pages of Mojo magazine. Still, Winky manages to surprise by sinking the show's credibility lower than the Stain had thought possible.
