He’s not wrong though. I can’t see Hegseth’s brain…

Libero 025: Bearded Dragons Being Driven By Trained Pigs Episodio de podcast · Libero · 11/06/2025 · 56 min

This podcast is worth it for the anecdote from @jonawils.bsky.social alone; involves running 100 m backwards and dragons riding quad bikes.

As was Bowie, of course.

What a great film Merry Xmas Mr Lawrence was! Sakamoto was in it, wasn’t he?

A pond of Ecstasy.

Though that doesn’t sound very doomy, to be fair.

What a great history lesson! Thank you!

I’m happy with just the cover too; I rarely watch the video. I appreciate what you do, as it stirs memories and causes me either to re-listen to something I’ve not heard for a long time or to listen to something new.

I recommend listening to The Legendary Wolfgang Press…, which collates three EPs that came before Standing Up Straight, and Bird Wood Cage that came after it. Queer is also good, but is a lot funkier and lighter than the others.

Great! They were one of my favourite bands in the 80s.

It’s a great album; I hope you’re enjoying it!

You’re all assuming that the principal subject was the woman. Perhaps the hen refused to lose its support human…?

Haha!

Congratulations! Also, I’ve enjoyed the hookup with the Naked Week. Which is?

Her pronunciation of ‘twat’ as ‘twot‘ is a particular favourite!

I’m listening to it now. It’s hilarious, like eavesdropping at a pub table where two people are chatting. A great episode. And I didn’t know Mike Joyce applied to be the drummer in the early days. (Well, that’s not the only thing I didn’t know, to be fair…)

He’s a wrong’un alright. I heard he trod on a lawn that had a ‘Keep off the Grass’ sign.

Finally. Someone fulfilling the niche demand for lit-up bike racks.

Oh, you’re spoiling us now!

May I remind the Right Honourable Gentleman that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

A brutal, blistering track. Live it’s a wee bit quicker than the album version. A great choice!

They were, though do you remember all of the name changes? Spizz Oil, Atletico Spizz 80…? (I’m sure there were others.)

BBC Radio 4 Extra - Spellbound: Siouxsie and the Banshees Miranda Sawyer looks at one of music's most distinctive artists Siouxsie and the Banshees.

There’s a great programme on BBC Sounds by Miranda Sawyer that you might find interesting. It covers the first five albums.

Likewise! I saw them at Lewisham Odeon that tour, with Smith playing for the Banshees. Spizz Energi (of “Where’s Captain Kirk” fame) was second support.

Brilliant.

“Starmer Chameleon” and accompanying image. Very good; one of your best podcast covers!

This is utterly dispiriting. Also, approximately 2 women a week are killed by their partner. But then there is a third, unquantified, group of potential homicides, chalked up as accidental deaths despite strong circumstantial evidence. See this podcast series: tortoisemedia.com/hiddenhomici....

That is undeniably cute.

Nice! ‘Empty Eyes’ is a great track. I saw Marc do a solo set (maybe with ‘the Mambas’) in support of Siouxsie and the Banshees. The first song was only him on stage and he was utterly mesmerizing as he threw himself around the stage. I can’t remember what song it was, sadly.

A great interview by @mrjamesob.bsky.social with @matt-forde.bsky.social. I had a lump in the throat listening to the Nottingham Forest part of the interview towards the end.
