Take...
1 husband and wife
2 bottles of wine
7" singles (a crateful)
6 lucky dips apiece
Stir in 12 tunes including ABC, Mae West and Gina X - and in less than an hour, you'll have a his 'n' hers, pick 'n' mix podcast ready to serve.
The Joy of Six
Any guesses on the opening theme? Extra points for the tune's official title rather than the prog name.
If I sound a bit, well, muffled and muddy - it's due to raging toothache. Which, rapidly remedied itself after reading the Dentist's estimate to extract and make good.
PS - Piley and I should be recording a new Podrophenia this week

Ah great, I've had difficulty downloading from Divshare and Rapidshare in the past but this time I managed to get it going. Will listen to the rest later.
Your missus isn't the only one who dislikes SSS...not that Carbon / Silicon is much of an improvement but it's bearable.
:)
Tin Machine are another of those Marmite bands - they seemed to be unlistenable to female ears
Ah yes, great stuff;-)
delightful, just delightful
Thanks both - we may dig out the crate again at some random future point
Fantastic idea Mr & Mrs Mondo!
You’re a natural Mrs M...
(It was fun to listen to you two, hope you do another soon?)
Bless you Lil, we should do another really, this was rattled off last October (and why yuo'll hear Halloween and Synth Brittania references)
We used to do the random 45 thing when I was a teenager. It's a good way of rediscovering half forgotten gems (and it stopped us fighting over the record player). I'm tempted to do a similar podcast with my kids. Not for 'cute' factor but because my 9-year old in particular has quite a good insight.
On a similar theme, when I was house sharing in the early 80s with another large record collection owner we took it in turns to pick one of our own LPs and play a track we couldn't remember. You know how it is - some LPs get left aside. I was horrified when he pulled out a Status Quo LP but he played a song called Lonely Man which has been a guilty pleasure ever since.
What’s your take on Tin Machine, Mondo? Last year I considered reviewing all my CDs from 1989 in a “it was 20 years ago today” kind of way, so I played Tin Machine for the first time in years and even though my initial thought was “It ain’t so bad” still couldn’t really get into it. I’m not exactly the alpha male type so maybe I’ve got female ears.
We started lucky dipping round at my neighbours last year, and it's stuck since..
You've got to do the kids one Mick ~ that should be an absolute winner. They give a completely unbiased eye/ear to any tunes. Our two, on seeing legendary Who bassist John Entwistle described him as 'the stiff man' and thought his name was John Whistle.
Then labelled the classic theme from The Persuaders as 'funeral music' !!
Tin Machine, well I think I'd heard such bad reports at the time, and Bowie's 80s output was so poor, it was better than expected. There's a few great tunes on the first album. But *draws a breath* actually prefer the second one
My 9-year old liked the guitars on Anarchy in the UK but actually laughed when the singing started and said it sounded like a toddler shouting. Shades of Captain Sensible and his 'Norman Wisdom' remark.
I've only ever heard the 1st Tin Machine CD so can't comment on their other output.
A couple my two don't get are Kevin Ayers (Unfairground album) and Robert Plant and Alison Krauss..
'Why do keep I hearing this song' - or 'Not the old man singing' is the usual cry..
