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. Drole d’histoire d’amour – Kelly Super LoooooL!!!!! – DJ Laugh Mary Had a Little Lamb – Daphne Oram Ha Ha Ha – Conrad Schnitzler PUN – Mouse on Mars I Made a Funny – Space Dimension Controller Joking Apart – The Nightingales Eikenholt – Der Joker Laughing – Pere Ubu Laughing Quarter – Autechre I Started a Joke – Low Opel Hair – The Laughing Windows

It’s magic. By special request (at www.facebook.com/winkyandthestain) and by sleight of hand, Winky and the Stain weave a musical spell to send you into a hypnotic trance/sleep. 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! Kano – New Banger Golden Teacher – After Party People The Watersons – Earlsdon Sword Dance Song Harry Taussig – Children’s Dance Bodenstandig 2000 – Party Ganze Nacht Nana Love – We Gonna Stay For the Party Barry Bryson – Going to the Party Kool Rock Steady – I’ll Make You Dance Sun Ra and His Myth Science Arkestra – Moon Dance Joseph Washington Jr – Jesus’ Birthday Andrew Pekler – Bacterial Dance Suicide – Dance Laraaji – The Dance #1 Aleksandr Sergeyevich Zatsepin – The Shaman’s Dance

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. Kerridge – FLA 6 Diamond D – Red Light, Green Light Betty Davis – Shut Off the Light Fennesz – City of Light White Hills – Pads of Light Winkie – My Eyes Are Closed When the Sun Comes Up The Fall – Light, Fireworks Pan Sonic – Light-Transformer Jane Weaver – The Amber Light Matmos - …And Silver Light Popped in His Eyes Laurel Halo – Light + Space

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. RP Boo – Total Darkness Alexander Tucker – Dark Rift, Black Road Six Organs of Admittance – Dark Noontide Squarepusher – Dark Steering Sun Ra – The Sky is a Sea of Darkness When There is No Sun Aphrohead – In the Dark (Dave Clarke Mix) Rikki Ililonga & Musi-O-Tunya – Dark Sunrise Barn Owl – The Darkest Night Since 1683 Dark Duke – Kill Jackson

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. Virus Syndicate) – Dead Man Walking John Wizards – Iyongwe Bizzy B – Bad Boy Sound Vex’d – Killing Floor Hrvatski – Insect Digestion Melancholy Electronic Music Composer – Suggested Surgery Rude Ass Tinker – U Can’t Touch This Kid Spatula – Come On Board Traxman – Let There Be Rockkkkk Ital – Doesn’t Matter (If You Love Him) Konx-Om-Pax – Let’s Go Swimming

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. If you want to check out JayetAl, their website is: http://www.jayetal.co.uk/ And the video we talk about is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gq6Bg6C6EW8 JayetAl – Typewriter James Yorkston – Midnight Feast Plaid – New Family Capitol K – Pillow The Chemical Brothers – The Sunshine Underground JayetAl – Emancipator Aphex Twin – Alberto Balsam Orbital – Belfast The Clash – Complete Control (Live) Gyorgy Ligeti – Lux Aeterna JayetAl – Voyager

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. Opambuo International Band of Ghana – I Go Die Roots Radics Band – The Death of Mr Spock Pierre Henry – After Death 2 Paula Temple – Deathvox John Fahey – I Am The Resurrection Sufjan Stevens – Death With Dignity King Midas Sound – Earth a Killya Vladislav Delay Quartet – Killing the Waterbed Sonic Youth – Death Valley ’69 (live) Eleh – Death Is Eternal Bliss Death – Politicians In My Eyes

Special bonus fan-supplied content alert! Winky and the Stain come out the wrong way, as Ambient Dad remixes our last episode. Check our more of his action on Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/ambient-dad. We should have a new episode for you next week. 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. Venetian Snares & Speedranch – Unborn Baby Blue Ducks – Some Girls Are Just Born With Glitter in Their Veins Harmonia & Eno – When Shade Was Born Tangerine Dream – Birth of Liquid Plejades Cannibal Corpse – Born In A Casket Cancerous Womb – Born of a Cancerous Womb Sizzla – Born A King Whore’s Skeleton – Birthing Ritual Loren Mazzacane Connors & Kath Bloom – The Breeze, My Baby Cries Frank Sidebottom – Born In Timperley Ultramagnetic MCs – Mechanism Nice (Born Twice) Caribou – Paul’s Birthday U-Roy – True Born African

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. Funkadelic – I Wanna Know if it’s Good to You Palace Music – The Mountain Choir FKA Twigs – Two Weeks Actress – Supreme Cunnilingus Chicks On Speed – Sex in der Stadt Kunt and the Gang – Wanking Over a Pornographic Polaroid of an Ex-girlfriend Who Died Wisby & Jonny Trunk – I Want To Hold Your Hand Tortoise – Sexual For Elizabeth Acid Mothers Temple & the Melting Paraiso UFO – Electric Love Machine Cylob – Sex Machine Serge Gainsbourg – Sea Sex and Sun Prince – Darling Nikki Cornell Campbell – Bumming in the Ghetto Lee “Scratch” Perry – Land of Sex Bjork – Cocoon Ivor Cutler – Dad’s Lapse Dante Ferrara – My Lady’s Coachman John Matmos – Public Sex for Boyd McDonald U.S. Aries – Are You Ready To Come?

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. Libra – The Shock Dat Politics – Ghost Town Sir Victor Uwaifo – Mother Witch (Shuhusuhu) Winky – Ghost Encounter 1 Scientist – Blood on His Lips Vincent Price – To Become a Werewolf Roll Deep – Poltergeist (Remix) Jim O’Rourke – Ghost Ship in a Storm Winky – Ghost Encounter 2 Fela Kuti & the Africa ’70 – Zombie John Carpenter – Michael Kills Judith Krzysztof Komeda – Rosemary’s Baby Main Theme Vocal Ben Frost – Híbakúsja Scott Walker & Sunn O))) – Lullaby Bernd Witthuser - Dracula

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... Mastodon – Deep Sea Creature Natural Snow Buildings – A Burial At Sea Bonnie “Prince” Billy & Matt Sweeney – Death in the Sea The Sea and Cake – Jacking the Ball Yuji Kondo – Radiate the Ocean From My Back Drexciya – Seaquake Shabazz Palaces – New Black Wave John Fahey – On the Sunny Side of the Ocean Low – Over the Ocean Richard Youngs – The Sea of Providence Silver Apples – Seagreen Serenades Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark – Sealand Eiko Ishibashi – Long Scan of the Test Tube Sea Vashti Bunyan – Jellyfish Oh, Yoko – Seashore (Sprinkles Ambient Ballroom)

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 (Bass Clef remix) Part Chimp – FFFFF Flamingods – Ancient Rhythms Alasdair Roberts – The Book of Doves Laura Cannell – We Shall Meet Again on St. Swithun’s Day (Hacker Farm remix) The Grubby Mitts – Standard Anji Cheung – Argument of Periastron Bridget Hayden – Sage Breeze Lutine – Sallow Tree Kemper Norton – SWW Anthem Frank Fairfield – Texas Farewell

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. Here's the links to the videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHJOz_y9rZE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2dbNvDrrFA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOE3qRJxV94

We're back now! It's OK everyone, we're back now! It's been a few weeks, we've been caught up in intense self-analysis. Here's a bonus episode of Spotify spin-the-wheel to 'reward' your patience. Winky dons the blindfold and jabs wildly in the dark, while the Stain masterfully parries his thrusts. www.facebook.com/winkyandthestain

Winky and the Stain went to the pub with Big Brother Ibrahim, aka Bill, aka Jealous Oberon. After the pub we recorded this podcast set in the year 1984. A lot of lessons have now been learnt. Thanks to Bill for guesting, thanks particularly to Producer Will for making something listenable out of our boozy chunterings. www.facebook.com/winkyandthestain

To celebrate the latest irruption of the south's premier electronica, post-rock, hiphop and sundries night, The Nob Out Room, Winky and the Stain welcome Nob Out found Ian 'KILLblinton' Roberts to the show to relive their youth and play tunes by people who have graced the show over the years. Also featuring our second ever live phone-in. Go here for the nob: https://www.facebook.com/events/474078626003540/

The letters of the alphabet go in this order: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ You know this. Winky and the Stain know this. I don't know what we're trying to prove.

It's a winky wonky rave! The thoroughly elusive Boards of Canada have put out a new record, Tomorrow's Harvest, which The Stain thinks is brilliant and which Winky hasn't really listened to yet. To commemorate all these facts, here's a Winky and the Stain Warp Records special. Not exactly a best of, not exactly a retrospective, just us playing some of our favourites from the label. The Stain has a dream; Winky has a drink; Producer Will has a honking guff.

It's a lovely afternoon, why don't we sit outside? Winky and the Stain grab some delicious treats and a glass of wine, step into the garden and soak up the spring sunshine. And for some reason they start smiling and playing happy music. Can this be connected? Winky and the Stain - the sound of mackerel pâté.

Winky and the Stain are back again, and this time with the very wonderful JayetAl as guests! We talk about their new album and play some of the tunes off it, and James and Al play music by people they love. Visit JayetAl's website here: http://www.jayetal.co.uk/ See the promised live vid of ODT here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKFnFUOUum0 Check out Greg "STANLEYMATE" Ashby here: https://soundcloud.com/stanleymate We're sorry it all went terribly wrong at the end. Most embarrassing that it should happen when we had guests. But there's plenty to enjoy before the sticky end.

Winky and the Stain get pretty far out. Well, Winky does, he goes into space. The Stain stays at home and tries to keep everything morally anchored. Listen and learn

Winky and the Stain demonstrate the breadth of a state education with this show about numbers and counting.

A special Winky and the Stain look at the animal kingdom. The animal kingdom remains unmoved. Featuring our first guest star!

Bonus podcast! Winky and the Stain play some of the tunes that saw them through the dark times in the year just gone. We got a bit tipsy in this one and talked about air conditioning for ages. Enjoy!
