The second in a series of six episodes of my old radio show Fisting for Compliments , and indeed the second time we transmitted to a large part of the Glasgow area on a real-life FM frequency. Of note during this episode : more weird preamble from "Family Affair"'s odd competition feature; our improv cover of "Hey Joe"; a clean version of "Fuck the Border" by Propagandhi which, on reflection, kind of removes the point a little; the radio [...]
Since Valentine's Day and #VDay are still trending on Twitter – at least, in New York City, where i've set my trending topics – and since walking around Sainsbury's the other day yielded no overheard conversations but those of gigglers chatting about what various friends' lovers did or didn't buy as Valentine's presents, and since compiling it was vaguely emotionally draining and since i haven't posted it yet, i present the LJB extra-curricular Valentine's Day mix.

Why are the things you want always in the last place you think of looking? About three years ago I saw a programme on Channel 4 about Outsider Music and was introduced to a man named Bingo Gazingo . Since then, I've been trying to track down something, anything by the great man. Cue three years of hunting with not even a sniff of success. Sure, I found a few articles about him dotted about the interweb but not one sniff of audio. That is, until Friday when, while stumbling around the wondrous portal of [...]
