Winky And The Stain

If you've listened to the show before, you've probably heard Winky positing the idea of us standing up to do a podcast. I mean, that's all. That's his whole idea. That's what he brings to the enterprise. So anyway we're doing it. If anything it's to stop him having ideas.

It’s Winky and the Stain, pounding the beat and upholding the law. Actually, the Stain gets quite drunk, confesses to a crime, gets quite belligerent, and regrets it all now. Even to the point of being unsure whether to put this episode out. But here it is, our Crime against broadcasting and good sense.

Winky and the Stain are fighting over the future of the world, in an unlikely face off of unlistenable music and weak jokes. Or maybe not weak jokes..? In this episode, you get to decide! Join us in the trenches for what may be the end of it all.

We recorded this weeks ago and have been too busy to upload it. Because we have no respect for you, the listener. We think you’re a JOKE! Winky and the Stain herewith present a show about comedy, featuring no decent jokes and at a song which The Stain slightly regrets playing. He’s become a parody of himself.

Featuring Winky’s live conjuring! The ball is under the middle cup. No! We tricked you! We tricked you with magic!

All the Stain’s Christmases have come at once, in this triple anniversary special. And he’s celebrating in typical middle-aged loner style – with Winky. Happy Christmas everyone!

Been around the world and ay ay ay… I can’t find my Winky. Hello listeners, here’s a special exotic episode of Winky and the Stain, featuring all manner of tunes and artists that the Stain really likes but couldn’t cram into any themed shows because he doesn’t understand the language they’re in. Hopefully this will demonstrate our sensitive, multicultural side. Despite the uniformly poor pronunciation. Senyawa – Pada Siang Hari Alex Konadu’s One Man Thousand – Mena Mepe Pablo Lubadika – Y’a Plus Confiance Les Vampyrettes – Biomutanten Stara Rzeka – Tej Nocy/Bron nas od Zlego Animal Chuki – Luto Calypso Performers of Puerto Limon – Primer Ritmo de Comparsa Drummers of the Societe Absolument Guinin – Zepol Cuareim – Vamo Arriba Gentleman Mike Ejeagha – Onye Ori Utaba Islam Chipsy – Mouled El Ghoul Five Old Kavet Men, Sitting Playing Five Gongs – (unknown) Hailu Mergia & His Classical Instrument – Sewnetuwa

What’s the colour of money? There’s loads of good tunes about colours, aren’t there? Here’s a few of them. Also, your foul-mouthed feedback, and Winky and The Stain reverse the roles.

Mysterious, enigmatic, innovative genius… It’s Winky and the Stain! And this episode we’re indulging in a bit of hero worship as we linger over the music of Richard D James, a.k.a. Aphex Twin, a.k.a. whatever. Join us as we struggle to think of any famous twins, Winky tells lies, and the Stain is outed as a terrible sexist.

This morning Facebook told me that it was the start of summer. Outside it was pissing with rain. This seems as good a day as any to post Winky and the Stain musing on that very British preoccupation – the weather. Featuring Winky listing all the different types of weather, as a handy ready reference guide. Apologies a) this was recorded outside, so expect a bit of background noise. Apologies b) the artists who made the last track are Catherine Hershey & Gilles Poizat. Psychedelic Weather – M.E.D. & Otakhee Only Love Can Break Your Heart (Andrew Weatherhall Mix) – Saint Etienne Niigata Snow – Derek Bailey Snowstorm – Galaxie 500 Last Snowstorm of the Year – Low Arrow and Rain – Huntsville Vatnajokull – Chris Watson Hurricane – Faust Snowy in F# Minor – Tindersticks Ashen Snow – Dirty Three Broken Clouds – Lakker Warm August Wind – Catherine Hershey & Gilles Poizat

Careful! Oh, do be careful, Listener. Winky and the Stain are leading you into Danger. There’s risky (risqué?) opinions, assorted weapons and a precariously balanced glass bottle. And the Stain places his reputation in jeopardy by playing a couple of (whisper it) slightly mainstream tunes. Includes marginally complimentary listener feedback. Minor Threat – Minor Threat General Strike – Danger In Paradise Dominique Guiot – Alerte en Mer Prince – Tick, Tick, Bang Neil Richardson – Approaching Menace Kid606 – Periled Emu God Extreme Noise Terror – No Threat The Locust – Perils of Believing in Round Squares The Bug – Warning South Rakkas Crew – Red Alert Nidia Minaj – Afro Empress Of – Threat Kath Bloom – Dangerous Days Billy Ocean – Red Light Spells Danger

Oh crikey, listener. We get in deep with our special guest, Lngdstncdrmmr on the thorny issue of politics. In fact, thank you particularly to our special guest for holding things together as Winky proved ignorant and the Stain became increasingly drunken and incomprehensible. Also, Winky reads us a poem he wrote. And we hardly played any music. A shambles, all-in-all. Much like our democracy. Stereolab – Ping Pong Braintax – Syriana Style Immortal Technique – Freedom of Speech DJ Sprinkles & Mark Fell – Say It Slowly Killer Mike – Reagan Cornelius Cardew – The Great Learning: Paragraph 7 Lacksley Castell – Government Man Checkpoint 303 & Jawaher Shofani – Come Back Home, All Refugees

A very tired Winky and the Stain stare blearily into the lights of oncoming cars. Actually, Producer Will did once stare straight into the sun and permanently damaged his eyesight. We don’t discuss that on the show. Perhaps we should have? Contact us on Facebook to complain. This is our show about Light.

Don’t be afraid, listener. It’s only the dark. And Winky and the Stain will be here to hold your hand and stroke your hair. Join us as we blindly grope our way through the midnight blackness. Winky does science, the Stain mocks him from a position of questionable authority. The usual really.

Breathe it in, listener; the pure, clean air of the countryside. Horny handed son of the soil, Winky gets back to nature in this special Rural edition, where he happens across a kindly old farmer. We listen to a few discs on the farmer’s gramophone and share in his unspoiled country wisdom. Leon Gardner – Farm Song Arthur Russell – Oh Fernanda Why Arthur Russell – Corn #3 David Bowie – Nature Boy Bonnie “Prince” Billy – All the Trees of the Field Will Clap Their Hands Africa System Orchestra – Fine Country Laura Cannell – All the Land Ablaze Pelt – Up the North Fork John Fahey – Old Country Rock Shuggie Otis – One Room Country Shack Robbie Basho – Blue Crystal Fire

Muuuuu! Muuuuu! We’d like to take you to Planet Mu. It’s their 20th Anniversary year, so we thought we’d better play loads of their tunes. You could call it an homage, except we’re too amateur for flattery to be meaningful. You could call it a celebration, except Winky has a bit of a moan in the middle of it. So let’s just call it a “Thank you, Planet Mu” from The Stain, which Winky joins in with. **Apologies for Winky’s awful mic technique throughout** Joseph Nothing – A Shine on Your Head µ ziq – Hasty Boom Alert µ ziq – XT Slag Boom Van Loon – Poppy Seed (Boards of Canada Remix) Venetian Snares – Epidermis Jega – Manic Minor Milanese (feat.

Alright chaps, we’re back again. And we’ve got JayetAl in the studio (their studio) again. They Chose the music and everything! Discussing their new EP, politics and pissing in bottles. Also, complaints from you, the listener! Please feel free to send in your complaints about this and any other podcasts.

What? Has it been this long? How time flies! Oh, Listener! We’re sorry to leave you alone so long. There’s life trauma and upheaval and all manner of to-do. But Winky and The Stain are back with you. And this time you know it’s for real. Come in and help us examine the nature of this thing we experience as time, with Special Expert Jez and a host of knotty theoretical problems. Plus The Stain plays the wrong tunes. Plus Winky can’t grasp the difference between space-time and gravity. It’s like you’ve never been away. The Last Poets – Time Interplanetary Prophets – Running Out of Time Stereotyp & Alley Cat – Modern Times Flying Saucer Attack – In The Light of Time Ride – Time of Her Time Helen – Dying All the Time Husker Du – Indecision Time Yabby You – Judgement Time The Timelords – Doctorin’ the Tardis Winky – Winky’s Game Mr Fox – All The Good Times Tim Buckley – Happy Time Global Communication – 14:31 Little Anthony & the Imperials – I Don’t Have Time To Worry

It was always going to come, as it comes to us all. Is it a Death special, or is it a celebration of life? Winky and the Stain hold hands and wade together into the eternal river, to be nipped at by the crabs of doom. Be warned: there are actual serious discussions about mortality and stuff here, along with some quite frightening music. Plus all the usual jokes about willies and farting.
