Speaker
The drink you spilt all over me. Lover's spit, left on repeat. My mum and dad let me stay home. It drives you crazy getting old.

Music
00:00:35
Speaker
hello Hello, come one, come all, and enjoy the wonder that is the This Art Johnny Domino podcast. My name is Steve.
00:00:46
Speaker
Hi, Steve. Hi, Giles. And I'm, yes, that's it. I'm Giles. Hi. Spoiler alert with the the names right there. ah On this podcast, which is hopefully amusing and moving and thought-provoking,
00:01:01
Speaker
We basically listen to music mostly that we have recorded ourselves in the past over many, many decades. But increasingly, we are talking about music that people are sending to us as well.
00:01:15
Speaker
We just talk about music and... do. We're brothers. We're brothers. Yeah, you can probably tell that. That's a key point there. I think if you didn't know that before, all the kind of... snipey badinage
Evolution and Milestones
00:01:26
Speaker
that just happened I think you know you'd probably figure it out that's it here we are again the next one it's gonna be good isn't it big 50 half century yeah at that point we we will need to raise our bats and salute the crowd yeah we're gonna have to 50 not out we're gonna have to I don't know what we're gonna do we'll do something something this special we're gonna have to have a meeting about that yes
00:01:55
Speaker
I've got no idea what those lyrics were that you were quoting at the start. And you did say it was too obscure for me to get. So you're right. It's not really obscure. It's by the artist Lorde.
00:02:06
Speaker
Oh. I was impressed by on the Glastonbury Festival coverage on the BBC. Excellent. At the weekend, you see. Good. I know this we're going to do this a lot in this podcast.
00:02:19
Speaker
We tend to talk about things that have happened culturally little bit late because that's just the way we do it. Yeah. So you will have this will be like two weeks, three weeks in the past when you listen to this, but there go.
00:02:30
Speaker
Anyway, yeah, I watched Lorde and yeah, I really liked the set. And that was the lyrics of a song called Rib from their first album. Okay.
Music and Lyrics Discussion
00:02:41
Speaker
2013. New Zealand singer-songwriter. Yes. Known for her introspective lyrics and unconventional pop styles.
00:02:48
Speaker
Yes. And I believe when she first appeared, David Bowie said that she was the future of music. Yes. And that song mentions a song. It's a song that mentions a song. It mentions a song called Lovers Spit, which I have researched into, and it's by the Broken Social Scene, which is a band that I don't really know.
00:03:07
Speaker
But it did make me think of another involvement possibility. Is that what we call it? No, we call them engagement opportunities. Oh, But, you know. You do you.
00:03:19
Speaker
Yeah. And we could we could do songs that mention another song. I do like that. What do you reckon? What do you reckon? like songs that mention other songs. Yeah, we but you could get people to write songs that mention other songs. There is a caveat to my liking songs that mention other songs.
00:03:35
Speaker
there was There's a Nick Cave album, something about pushing away the sky or something, right? And there's a song on it called Jubilee Street, right? And in the next song on the album, he says, oh, I remember when I wrote Jubilee Street or something like that. And it just really pisses me off.
00:03:53
Speaker
Oh dear. That kind of thing. That's self-referential. I like it when people mention other songs, like A Tip of the Hat, Not to Yourself. I'm sure the listeners can think of ah some good examples. Yeah.
00:04:05
Speaker
So what did you think of Glastonbury? Did you watch some of it? I watched a lot of it, actually. Let's be honest, neither of us have been there ever, have we? no, no. I don't think I'm um think i'm ever going to go there, especially was like blisteringly hot.
00:04:19
Speaker
I mean, you either get sort of it's completely rained and turned to mud or it's insanely hot. And this past year was insanely hot. You don't think you would have liked I don't know. I mean, i think you had to look quite a way down the lineups to find the interesting stuff. I don't think the headliners were particularly great, although I really like Charlie XCX.
00:04:43
Speaker
I thought she was boring. There you go. The OCs.
Nostalgia and Early Recording Experiences
00:04:46
Speaker
Did you see the OCs? Oh, yeah. Yeah, but they're very untypical, weren't they? No, but they were. They're the only band of that sort that even got covered on the BBC. But Goats, they were on as well, and they're kind of similar in a kind of freak-out, psychedelia sort of way.
00:05:01
Speaker
But the thing about the OCs, you know, I watched it with ah my wife. And we just had it on. And I thought to myself, this ain't going to stay on for long because I don't think their albums are particularly interesting. And we did not turn it off. We just thought this is fantastic.
00:05:17
Speaker
Two drummers. Two drummers is greedy. Was that your favourite thing that you saw? I think so. I liked i thought Weezer were great. Greatest hit set. Black Country, New Road.
00:05:27
Speaker
I love them. So that that set was fantastic, I thought. Did you like Neil Young? I didn't get to see much of it, but what I saw was a little bit dull. was a bit, wasn't it?
00:05:38
Speaker
Yeah. What I saw was not great. Well, I enjoyed quite a bit of Glastonbury, but I kind of got a bit bored of it. Mm-hmm. the coverage I was kind of like set up for watching it all weekend but i got kind of bored halfway through Saturday but I did I was very excited on Friday night and I watched lots of it and I wrote a poem about watching Glastonbury Friday night from the sofa
00:06:06
Speaker
Lore techno Patti Smith wet leg you are sad for liking us loyal corner lovely dad rap Who the fuck are Biffy Clyro?
00:06:18
Speaker
English teacher goes on a bit. Very nice goes on a bit. Like Alanis, your weird boring auntie. Put your flag down, twat. can't see Alanis.
00:06:30
Speaker
Is what I'd be thinking if I was there. Lola Young was authentically attacked by an authentic wasp. Authentically. Lewis Capaldi, hands off my heartstrings.
00:06:43
Speaker
Seriously though, well done to all the acts. You all did really well, but... ah need therapy to deal with self-esteem. Why 1975?
00:06:56
Speaker
That was wonderful. hope I didn't put you off because he I got to fit the giggles during that, but that was that was great. that was really You turned your mic off. That was good.
00:07:08
Speaker
That was really good. glad you enjoyed that. I'm glad you enjoy enjoyed that. But yes, why 1975? What happened in 1975 for them that made them you know choose that year? I don't know. They way too young to have been birthed in that year yeah we're not going waste any more time talking about we are those chances no let's talk about some real music that means something to us yeah because it's all about us isn't it well the podcast is called this are johnny domino and of the many songs that we have recorded over the years this are one of them it is a song that we featured in the early days of the podcast and
00:07:48
Speaker
We're starting to repeat things, aren't we, Steve? No, no, no, no, no. What I want to do is I'm just going to bear with me a second. I'm going to find out when we talked about it before. Can you remember?
00:08:00
Speaker
It was a while ago. it was early days, early days. I would say to people listening to the podcast, you know, or perhaps starting to listen to the podcast, don't worry about the early episodes. We only get good about, about halfway through. if We talked about it in the fifth episode.
00:08:17
Speaker
It's a bit different recording to the one that we played last played before, yeah. but Yeah, this is a better recording, it? Yeah, but what I want to say is the point of the podcast when we set it up was we wanted to create a compilation of the best of Johnny Domino.
00:08:32
Speaker
ah We have since released um in digital format two compilations of the best of This Are Johnny Domino. This song, even though it was very popular at the time, we did not include in either of the first two volumes, but we did record it in a more professional manner than we did on our usual four track home recordings.
00:08:53
Speaker
And yeah I played it to you and you thought, oh, let's talk about that. It is good. I mean, yes, the premise of the podcast is that basically we're just going through all the mountains of tapes that we've got from our youth.
00:09:05
Speaker
And a lot of it is sort of like a bit primitive kind of four track recordings and stuff. Mm-hmm. But this one, as like you say, is a bit more professional. prosound Pro sounds. Pro sounds is the phrase we used all the time to talk about recordings that we didn't like.
00:09:18
Speaker
but I've changed my mind about that now. I'm not so blinkered in my outlook. This
Audience Engagement and Listener Stories
00:09:24
Speaker
is a song called Monkey Nuts.
00:09:46
Speaker
Staring at the lights We knew it would be boring Somehow it feels alright We could fall for a pizza Or get a last push home, yeah right Your style is classy but cheaply You're in taste, you're deep Sausage you're making me win Sausage you're making me win Come and get your pain on
00:10:40
Speaker
When you're at the disco, it's going down the tree You're like a boiler with a six-pack stomach, sex frustration and a hip hop Come and get your peanuts, I bet it's stupid Come and get your peanuts, they're just a bunch of monkeys
00:12:02
Speaker
We could start a pump back. I wouldn't go like that for a minute. You're bad, classy, but cheaper. You're tank, you're deep.
00:12:13
Speaker
So should you make it me with? So should you make it me with? Come against your venos.
00:12:24
Speaker
I bet it's cheapest. Come and get your... Ow! Come and get your... Ow!
00:13:01
Speaker
Who doesn't want to hear that on a Tuesday night? Come on. Come on. yeah Bit of 90s post-punk shite. Post-post-punk.
00:13:14
Speaker
Yeah, post-post-punk. Yeah. On the 90s, Derby scene. When we talked about it before, the reason i was a bit down on it is because it sounds a lot like Song 2 by Blur.
00:13:27
Speaker
you know And I think there's got structural similarities to Song 2 by Blur. you know, this is what it is. That is a lot better recording than, well, A, than I remember it being and B, than the one that we actually included on an album on our bandcamp page called the best of the shithouse masters.
00:13:44
Speaker
and And also that actually got released on a record label in America. Yeah, so weirdly, typical Johnny Domino, we we didn't release the best sounding version of a song. No.
00:13:57
Speaker
But luckily, we have a podcast now that we're in our 50s. Yes. So we can play it. Yeah. Do you remember anything about recording it? I do a bit. i know we went to a studio. it was a Stoke-on-Trent
Media Reviews and Personal Reflections
00:14:07
Speaker
one. No, it wasn't.
00:14:08
Speaker
Burton-on-Trent. No, Burton-on-Trent. got my Trents mixed You can't, you know, there'll be ructions. But we were there because Jim used to work in a record shop.
00:14:19
Speaker
It was called Way Ahead, I think, at that point. The manager in the shop was a guy called Nick, Nick Whiteman. I went to college with his older brother, Chris. Hi to either of them if they're listening.
00:14:30
Speaker
And, yeah, Nick, he wanted to start a record label and he wanted to release something by Johnny Dominant. And he paid for us to go into the track station, which is a recording studio in Burton-on-Trent, which was actually, it was like what do you call it, the bit underneath the train track? Yeah.
00:14:47
Speaker
It was in the arches. It was in the arches. It was kind of cool. It was kind of cool. It was in the art under the arches of a train bridge, basically. Yeah. It was very nice nice little studio.
00:14:58
Speaker
We were there. It was me, you, Jim, and Mark, and we took our mate, Albert. He went there to kind of give us, I don't know why, I think he was just bored.
00:15:09
Speaker
He was our hype man. He was our hype man, but i can't remember him hyping us up that much, but he was just... It's like the opposite of a hype man, really. He was bringing it down slightly. Who was the engineer? His name Ken. His name was Ken. And, you know, he was he was a nice-ish bloke.
00:15:22
Speaker
And I think we recorded all the music in the morning and then... it wasnt I want to talk a bit more about don't We're going to get to Ken. Don't worry. i can't remember his hair um situation. Oh, yes, you can. I remember it quite vividly because Albert, as well as being a hype man, he was um he had a video camera. I think Mark had got video camera and Albert was filming various things.
00:15:45
Speaker
And there was a point when we were either mixing it or something else was happening. And ah remember Albert just zooming in and out. at the burgeoning bald patch. Bored positive, Steve. Absolutely. I'm not saying anything bad about it, but that's what Albert was focusing on.
00:16:02
Speaker
So he he was going a bit bald. But he was funny, wasn't he? And he was a nice guy. and he Was he was a was you a good engineer? He got a good sound, didn't he? He got a pretty good sound.
00:16:14
Speaker
The thing is, right, i we've got to talk about the lunch that we had. Did we have lunch that day? Well, what we did was we went to a pub around the corner, which was, it was you know, it was a nice-ish look. I mean, don't know. was a pub.
00:16:29
Speaker
It was all right. But i do write I've got a vivid memory, and I know you remember this, that we were having our lunch and a lady of a certain age came in and very loudly tried to sell everyone in the pub some bedsheets.
00:16:45
Speaker
She had some bed sheets and they were they were a cotton. And she said something along the lines of, and you can boil them and they won't shrink neither. Right? That's the sort of thing that does happen in certain pubs, Steve. Yeah.
00:17:00
Speaker
It was pretty wild. Especially somewhere like Burton-on-Trent. Yeah, but we're these sort of like five pasty boys we're but trying to have a like a burger and chips probably. didn't buy them at sheets, did No, we didn't. No, I seem remember we just kind of looked at our plates intently and ate as quickly as we could and then got out I mean, on the if you listen to the music, it does sound like we're full of attitude and stuff, but really we were pussies.
00:17:26
Speaker
Absolutely. yeah So anyway, yeah but when we got back we got back to the studio yeah from our lovely dinner... Yes. If you remember rightly, Ken was having a hard time. Oh, he was upset.
00:17:40
Speaker
ah He was upset because he had erased the drum track from that song we just listened to. Yeah. That would have been more of a problem if we had an actual drummer.
00:17:51
Speaker
Absolutely. He was just trying to clean things up. And he decided that what he wanted to do was clean up the drum tracks. And he thought, I don't know what's all what's all this bit that um I'm wiping out?
00:18:04
Speaker
And he got rid of the drum track. But luckily... because as you say, we had a drum machine, the drum machine was able to pick up the slack and somehow fill it in.
00:18:15
Speaker
I can't even remember how it was done, but it all worked out all beautifully. It worked in the end, but there was a few tense moments there. Just a few tense moments, yes. A little bit swearing at Can behind his back. little bit behind his back. But we it all worked out.
00:18:29
Speaker
And we ended up with that lovely recording, and we recorded two other songs as well, didn't we, which we may play ah gay you know at some point in... the future yeah i mean spoiler alert they're not as good as that one probably not i think that one sounds good steve i agree agree energy to it i think we should make that the lead single for the next very best of this our johnny domino volume three it's it's it's a good song
Creative Projects and Tribute Series
00:18:56
Speaker
it's a good song one thing i want to one thing i want to say is we we had been in recording studios in the past and we were a bit burned by them and we decided when we went in there we were quite into having a very very dry sound i seem to remember having a conversation with ken saying i don't want any compression and don't want it mastering effectively so albinia What a bunch of dicks.
00:19:19
Speaker
So, you know, when I play it on the podcast, I've got the recording and I've mastered it since then because, you know, eventually you grow up and it sounds all right now. But I think the original recording was a bit shit. Anyway, it never got released. That's good. That's good now. I like it. I think it's one of our best things that we did, I think.
00:19:38
Speaker
personally i'm going to go out there and say that and yeah and we and we did say and the last time we talked about it way back in episode blah de blah that it was it was a pretty popular song it was one that we played live a lot and people tended to like it it worked live i like the um the funny noise competition on the uh drum break that you yeah you program the funny noises in there always like a bit of that i think you did I think you did that again recently, that little trick.
00:20:11
Speaker
Did I? You did, yeah, yeah, in it's in a song that we're going to listen to in a little bit. Oh, is that's called foreshadowing, believe. think professional podcasters do that. We are. are professional podcasters, Steve, in all but money.

00:21:39
Speaker
Hi, I'm Giles and Stephen's mum. And I don't listen to their podcasts. I think they're very silly boys. You got a message the other day. Well, I got a message probably around about the time but that we started doing the podcast. And it was ah when we announced it, somebody popped on the Facebook page where we were talking about it and said, oh I'm really excited about that.
00:22:00
Speaker
And it was a person called Antonio Vecchi. Now, it's kind of rang a bell. And I looked back into my emails and I found an email from February 2012. And it was an email, the title of which was Music Rights.
00:22:14
Speaker
And Antonio wrote, Hi, guys. I'm an Italian fan of Johnny Domino. I own a copy of Rabbit Themes from the early two thousand I was wondering who I would have to contact to ask for permission to use one of your songs for a video we're making for a small brand.
00:22:29
Speaker
It would fit very nicely. And then he popped up again fairly recently on the Facebook group, and I asked him loads of questions. He's recorded some of his answers. Yeah.
00:22:40
Speaker
But one of the things he did talk about was the fact that he formed a band called Catalogue. And as we've mentioned many times before on the podcast, we really like hearing songs that people have recorded.
00:22:53
Speaker
And we really quite like it, don't we? They're pretty cool band, actually. I've been listening to them quite a lot. They've got a one album and I think an EP out on the satanic Spotify.
00:23:06
Speaker
And you should listen to it. It's pretty good. But we're going to play a song. So this is the first track on the 2020 album, Easy Numbers, and it's called Grounded Kids.
00:23:20
Speaker
You are a strange kid
00:23:37
Speaker
You're a strange

Speaker
Come with you as follower We are coming to you
00:25:32
Speaker
You're a strong kid. You're never ever. Kids are better. You're never ever. Kids are better. We are bound with kids. We are bound with kids.
00:25:44
Speaker
I knew we were. Kids are better.
00:26:02
Speaker
We won't cry.
00:28:08
Speaker
Hello, Johnny Domino. I'm very happy to be here. Been listening to you since 24 years, I think. and About catalog, we played until basically COVID was the moment we stopped playing.
00:28:25
Speaker
for obvious reasons, but also because I moved to Switzerland from Italy. The band is from the north of Italy, a city called Reggio Emilia. We are three people, one guitar player, that's me, and I sing also.
00:28:38
Speaker
Emma, she was playing synthesizers and s singing as well. And then a drummer, that's Pisto. We played for five years and it was very, very good time. We recorded an EP and a record for a small label in modernized called but La Barberia Records.
00:28:56
Speaker
I've always been into more like lo-fi, post-punk stuff. Like my favorite band is Pavement. I really enjoyed that song, actually. um And I'm really, I'm actually loving, I'm really loving Catalog, actually.
00:29:13
Speaker
They've got a very interesting sound. Obviously, you can sort of hear the influences in there, but, you know, it's of its own, really. And and it's kind of mad that Antonio ended up knowing about us, really. he found He found our record in a shop.
00:29:32
Speaker
in Italy, which, how the hell did that get there? I don't remember exactly the the story. I asked my friend that was with me and basically was listening to Johnny Domino with me at the same time.
00:29:44
Speaker
But ah basically we found Rabbit Themes, the CD of Rabbit Themes, in a record store in our hometown. when we were like 18, 19.
00:29:55
Speaker
eighteen nineteen I don't remember which one of us found it. We bought it and then we made a copy. So we had two copies. I remember i had the copy for most of the time, but we loved the record. We loved the themes and we loved everything about it. Of course, we couldn't listen to other Johnny Lomian songs at the time.
00:30:13
Speaker
And we had no idea how you guys were. I mean, ah honestly, in my mind at the time, I thought you were a famous band, you know? Because, I mean, the music was so awesome and the way the the record starts got me immediately.
00:30:28
Speaker
I remember I was listening to it on my own, on my car and it was in my car for years. So yeah, I was listening to this awesome music and I always thought you were like this very cool indie English band and everything. And you were, of course, but...
00:30:44
Speaker
Let's say ah I thought you were much more famous than you were. I don't know how that your CD arrived in Italy in this record store called Tosi Dischi, but it was actually very cool.
00:30:56
Speaker
And it's very cool to talk to you now on your podcast because it's like coming back in time. and And thank you for that as well. It's mad, isn't it? I genuinely don't know how it got there.
00:31:10
Speaker
It's a bit like an alternate universe where Italian indie kids were actually into our band. That's just, yeah. and And actually, he thought we were a proper band. Yeah, you and me both, Antonio.
00:31:22
Speaker
you know what? You know if enough people think you're a proper band, then you become a proper band. You think that's all it is? we're aim We're aiming for it still, aren't we, really? Wow. Oh, that's so nice to hear from Antonio.
00:31:35
Speaker
Yeah, it's lovely. One thing, he he did say that when he moved away to college, he used to go to like an open mic night. He used to do a cover version of Wake Up and Smell the Cat Food.
00:31:47
Speaker
He very nicely sent us a rough recording of it, which is very nice to hear. And it's literally one of the best things I've heard in ages. It really made me smile when I heard it today.
00:32:02
Speaker
The dreams are still thick in my head When my legs are moving on The morning eyes are blurring As they wander in the sun It seems so small for my head So I shave around my face Coffee has this done on me I woke up that shit
00:32:48
Speaker
Put up all the contents
00:33:38
Speaker
Like you, I've got to be honest, I was kind of blown away that somebody would think enough of one of our songs to actually do it. you know i mean? That's just mental.
00:33:49
Speaker
It's kind of mad and a really nice feeling. So, yeah, hooray. Hooray for that. Hooray for CDs and record shops and weird imports ending up in little record shops somewhere in Italy.
00:34:06
Speaker
I mean, he did say in one of the messages he sent to me is he just really liked the cover. So he picked it up and listened to the first track and he thought, right, okay, I'm having that. Yeah, well, i you know, I think Antonio is a bit of a kindred spirit, really.
00:34:20
Speaker
To be honest, a couple of things that he said really chimed with me because, yeah, I often buy things because of the cover, or I certainly used to, yeah maybe not so much anymore. And also he sort of said that his favourite song changes, like probably was it be completely different ah in ah you know in a day or and even an hour.
00:34:41
Speaker
So, yeah, I completely agree with that. Absolutely. That's exactly how I feel about music. So yeah. Hooray. Blind Freddy would think that was brilliant.
00:34:53
Speaker
ah Come on now. Blind Freddy could see how much time you two have been spending together lately. I'm just, you know, I'm just kind of slightly embarrassed by how mental that is. And it's so lovely.
00:35:06
Speaker
Can we just finish this section by just saying thank you so much to Antonio? Thank you, Antonio. Yeah. and And people, remember, just send us some stuff. You don't have to send us stuff saying how much, you know, like Antonio did, saying how much you liked our music.
00:35:21
Speaker
Though that is nice. It's lovely. But you could send us some stuff saying that you think our music's terrible, and that would be fine too. Yeah. But especially if you send us some alternate music that we could play on the podcast.
00:35:35
Speaker
And if you don't like our music, please record ah voice message. and Tell us why you don't like yeah Exactly, yeah. that would be That'd be fine as well. That'd be amazing, actually. Yeah. How about a Johnny Domino diss track? Oh, that'd be Right.
00:35:51
Speaker
If we get behind ourselves a little bit. Jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle. Steve, have you seen anything interesting recently? jing chingoo chingoo ching guing steve um seen i an interest in recently It's funny you should ask me that, Giles.
00:36:13
Speaker
I went see the film The Ballad of Wallace Island. As you said at the start of the podcast, we tend to talk about things that people have already seen experienced or aren't going to see, or it's usually a ah few weeks after everyone else has...
00:36:28
Speaker
decided if they want to experience the thing or not experience the thing. there you go And me and Emma, we went to see The Ballad of Wallis Island starring Tim Key, which was described at Broadway Cinema in Nottingham as melancholy silliness.
00:36:42
Speaker
And I think that's absolutely spot on because... Tim Key plays a guy who won the lottery. Actually, it turns out he won the lottery twice. And what he does ah with his second lottery winnings, he gets his favorite folk duo, who are called Maguire-Mortimer,
00:37:01
Speaker
to come and perform on the little Welsh island where he lives, a gig effectively just for him. And hilariousness ah hilarity ensues.
00:37:12
Speaker
there's There's a lot of funniness in it. I mean, a lot of it is when it starts off, tim Key does a lot of staring, with his big wet eyes. Oh, he's good at that. He's really good at it. And he puns a lot.
00:37:25
Speaker
It starts off being, oh, this is really funny. And then it goes a little bit, oh, maybe that's going to get irritating. Then it becomes really weirdly moving. And by the end of it, i mean, there was a point when me and Emma, we were just in bits. Yeah.
00:37:40
Speaker
Yeah? Did you find it quite affecting? Absolutely, yeah. and But it's one of those great little British films where it's just, it starts here, it stops there. It's a nice self-contained movie. Completely self-contained movie.
00:37:54
Speaker
And I really, really enjoyed it, despite the fact I didn't really like the music in it. Oh, well, it's a music it's ah music is a big part of it. And it's it's got the performances by Tom Basden, who's like Tim Key's main guy. Yeah, yeah. And he wrote the songs.
00:38:12
Speaker
It's pretty hard to have a ah movie about fictional musicians and have... like good songs you know it can be quite tricky I mean it's been done yeah you know i thought the songs were okay yeah it was more like Tim Key's watery eyes reacting to them that affected me more than the music definitely big watery eyes But i lot I loved it too. I went to see it as well.
00:38:37
Speaker
Not with you. And I enjoyed it as well. I'd give it a pretty high score, actually. Out five, I'd probably give it a four. Easy. I I would give it four. Easy, a four. I thought it was lovely.
00:38:49
Speaker
Did it make you cry? oh yeah, definitely. Yeah, I was gone. yeah it didn't be kind of made me cry at one point. No, it got me completely. And, you know, it's just a really, really well-made, very cool film.
00:39:03
Speaker
And I'm glad it's getting very good write-ups. And I think it's doing, as they say in the biz, quite good business. What's your favourite film about ah fictitious musicians?
00:39:16
Speaker
That isn't This Is Spinal Tap. well you can include that that can be a number one if you like I'm going to write that one down as number one if you like well it probably is but you know if you want to go a little bit off the beaten track I mentioned it before Hedwig and the Angry Inch I think it's fantastic Leningrad Cowboys Go America oh I've not seen that for a long time that's good film okay I'm going to say a few go School of Rock classic it's got some good songs in it that is a rare film where you don't want it to end when I watch it I don't want it to end
00:39:49
Speaker
Next one, I would say Scott Pilgrim versus the world. know did it It's got some good music bits in it. Yeah, I didn't like that as much as I wanted to.
00:40:00
Speaker
I thought I was bolted on to be target market for that, but it didn't really do it. Anyway, what else no, I think you were a bit old to be target market for that, Steve, to be honest. Yeah, but I'm young at heart.
00:40:14
Speaker
I've got a new feature. What makes you cry? There you go. New feature, new feature. What makes you cry? This is an uplifting thing for the podcast. Okay. what you But I cry at really daft things.
00:40:28
Speaker
There was one time I went to see a film with my wife and daughter. ah Towards the end of the film, my daughter was elbowing my wife saying, look at him. He's gone. And that film, the film that made me sob, not just cry, sob, was Ralph Breaks the Internet. Okay. Okay.
00:40:46
Speaker
I'm going to say listening to Nina and Nastasia in the car on my own. Oof, number one. And then films about dogs trying to get back to their owners.
00:40:59
Speaker
Yes. Any film about dogs trying to get back to their owners, basically. Yeah, yeah. There you go. We might do that feature again. oh yeah, let's bring it back. See how popular it gets. Bring back the lols. What makes you cry? Maybe we get jingle for that.
00:41:13
Speaker
It's time for the This Are Johnny.
00:41:29
Speaker
Health update. Oh, yes, please. Health update. So I've been fairly open about the fact that I am undergoing treatment for prostate cancer.
00:41:40
Speaker
Get your PSA checked, guys. Make sure you do. yep And I have had just completed a course of radiotherapy. And, it you know, it was a thing, definitely. I'm thankfully feeling like I'm kind of getting over the side effects of the radiotherapy now, which is good.
00:41:59
Speaker
going to be a long wait to find out whether it's actually done anything. But, you know, at the moment, I'm kind of just enjoying the fact that starting to feel bit more normal.
00:42:11
Speaker
It's been making me think about things a lot. And um as well as the radiotherapy, I'm also on something called hormone therapy, which is a rather depressing thing in some respects, as it lowers your testosterone, which is a thing that you need to if you've got prostate cancer because ah the cancer feeds on the testosterone.
00:42:32
Speaker
So um you need to know this because I've written a poem, which I'm going to read now, and it's called Tony Soprano Food. um So you need to know about hormone therapy, which I've just explained, and you also need to know who Tony Soprano is.
00:42:49
Speaker
Steve, tell tell people who's Tony Soprano. Tony Soprano was the titular character and the patriarch of the Soprano family in the classic television program, I would say the greatest television program ever made, ah The Sopranos.
00:43:05
Speaker
And what was Tony Soprano like? What's his character? What was he like? He was a mafiosi head of the family who was undergoing therapy because he kept having panic attacks. Now, that's the setup of the program, which you when I heard I thought, well, that just sounds stupid.
00:43:22
Speaker
And then ah watched it. I thought, well, this is still stupid. Third episode I was in. That's an episode called College. If you haven't seen it before, I won't spoil it, but I would recommend watching it.
00:43:34
Speaker
But Tony Soprano is like this very hyper-masculine guy, basically, who does some pretty despicable things. Though you still have sympathy for him throughout the thing. That's kind of like the beauty of the program, I suppose. Classic anti-hero. So, yeah. So you know who Tony Soprano is, you know what a homotherapy is.
00:43:51
Speaker
Here is my poem, Tony Soprano Food.
00:43:56
Speaker
Lately, I've been going to the gym. I was thinking and came up with a thought. Following your father only gets you so far. You've got to follow your mother, young man.
00:44:08
Speaker
I believe the hormone therapy makes me more of a man, not less. No longer pretending I don't follow my dick. I feel the rain on my face and consider other people.
00:44:23
Speaker
Tony Soprano food don't agree with me no more. So what is non-Tony Soprano food that you're eating? Well, you know, Tony Soprano food is like pasta meat and pizza and meat.
00:44:37
Speaker
Everything with meat. Yes. They don't agree with me anymore. But I'm talking about food in a wider metaphorical sense, obviously. I get that. Just going back to your statement about the PSA test.
00:44:52
Speaker
After we spoke about the PSA test before, we did get a listener complaint. I will not say who sent it. Oh, I will. It was MJ Hibbert. It's one of the funniest things I've ever read.
00:45:03
Speaker
And he said, the complaint is re your recent advice to get a PSA test. It's one of those things that i can't get through. With the guarantee that it's just a blood test, they don't put a finger up your bum.
00:45:18
Speaker
yeah having taken your advice i regret to inform you that in my location at least they pretty much insist on putting a finger up your bum
00:45:34
Speaker
no matter no matter how many times you say
00:45:40
Speaker
No matter. But the Johnny Domino's said it was just a blood test. I think you're going to have to say this again when you're not hysterical. God. They pretty much insist on putting a finger up your bum no matter how many times you say, but the Johnny Domino's said it was just a blood test.
00:46:00
Speaker
Yes. so I know. I mean, maybe I was so maybe i was kind of underselling the finger up the bomb. I certainly had a finger up my bomb. Probably a few worse things than that, to be honest. Let's not go there.
00:46:12
Speaker
Yeah. But yeah, it's worth it though, isn't it? You've got to get checked out. Absolutely. Yeah. So we're not just a self-referential music podcast. Although we are that. We have health content too. We have health content too. Yeah.
00:46:25
Speaker
For the middle-aged men out there. It's the Johnny Domino podcast. Give it a chance. Recently, we've been talking a lot about a Facebook community called the PRF Monthly Tribute Series, in which each month a band is picked and musicians have a full month to record versions of their songs, songs ah about the artist, or songs that were possibly some kind of tangentially connected to the month's artist.
00:46:58
Speaker
And is called the PRF Tribute Series. The PRF Monthly Tribute Series. Now, in the month just gone, June, today, as we're recording this, is the 1st of July, the artist chosen by one Francis Machine was Billy Idol.
00:47:18
Speaker
Good choice, strong choice. We done recorded a song. we We recorded one for the PRF Tribute Series. Yes. We recorded a Billy Idol song and we chose the Billy Idol song that no one else would dare to do.
00:47:33
Speaker
But, you know, i think we've found a way out of it. It's a song called, horribly, Sweet 16, which is fairly horrific. But, you know, we found a way around it, didn't we?
00:47:46
Speaker
Well, is it horrific? Well, he was in his It's rock and roll, man. It's like, you know, teenager in love. You know, happy birthday, Sweet 16. Yeah, okay.
00:47:56
Speaker
It's not good. It's rock and roll, as Billy Idol would say. am quite fond of the original version of Sweet 16 by Billy Idol. And I think it's got some of his weirdest lyrics in it.
00:48:08
Speaker
It really does. So I wanted to choose to do that one. And we did something with it, didn't we? Yes. At time of recording, Mr Billy Idol is 69 years old.
00:48:18
Speaker
We felt it appropriate to reset the following song as if it were about the same individual, but over four decades on. Thank you.
00:48:33
Speaker
Oh, I'll do anything sweet 16
00:48:49
Speaker
She took everything, everything I gave her My sweet 16 Built a room for rocking chair Never guessed it would rock her far from here Oh, oh, oh Someone built a candy castle for my sweet 16 Someone built a candy brain to fill in
00:49:30
Speaker
Memories will burn you Memories grow colder as people can They just get colder Like Sweet Sixteen Oh I can see it's clear Maybe that you are all three here Oh, oh, oh, oh Someone built a candy castle for my Sweet Sixteen someone built a candy house to house someone built a candy castle for my sweet 16. someone built a candy brain and filled it in
00:50:28
Speaker
Billy stands outside the co-op. He watches the empty hers go by. He realises he's been served by a robot. Not a robot like C-3PO, reflective and golden, cheerfully passing the time of day, but a box that made him do all the work.
00:50:46
Speaker
Thinking in the face of all this AI shit, What is the actual point? But maybe the point is other people. And finally this other person.
00:50:57
Speaker
Because art is a thing made by humans. For humans.
00:51:13
Speaker
Gave my heart an engagement ring. She left everything. Everything I gave her. My sweet 60.
00:51:25
Speaker
Built moon full of rocking chair. Never guessed it would rock her far from here.
00:51:37
Speaker
Someone built a candy castle for my sweet 60.
00:51:43
Speaker
Someone built a candy brain filled.
00:51:49
Speaker
Someone built a candy castle for my sweet sixteen Someone built a candy brain to fill it in
00:52:25
Speaker
Oh, I'll do anything Oh, I'll do anything
00:52:42
Speaker
So are you sober now? I'm not sober. I mean, I don't, I have to sort of say to myself, you know, you can do everything, man, but I'm not doing it. You know, it's sort of a bit of a... So how does that work for you? I don't know, really. It shouldn't work, really. But it's just, if I say to myself, I'm never doing anything again, I'll immediately go and do it. That's what I'm like. So I have to sort of say to myself, no, man, you can do whatever you want.
00:53:08
Speaker
But there's a side of me saying, but we're not going to. Wise words. Thank you, Billy. So that was our contribution to the PRF Tribute Series, June 2025.
00:53:20
Speaker
A international collective of musicians and bands yeah putting together an album every month, really. yeah And that was June.
00:53:31
Speaker
You go out and go and listen to it. The whole album's there available on Bandcamp. Yeah. And it's ah it's kind of cool. It was good fun. Yeah, it's a good thing to do. And I'm looking forward to finding out what next month's going to be.
00:53:45
Speaker
Ooh. What could it be? could be exciting. It might be something that we want to do. Who knows? It could not be. It's a very peculiar song, that. It's ah based on a story of a man called Edward Leedskalnin.
00:54:00
Speaker
It is. Who was 26 years old when he was suddenly rejected by his 16-year-old fiancé, Agnes Skvist, in Latvia, just days before the wedding.
00:54:11
Speaker
Even for the United States, he came down with allegedly terminal tuberculosis, but spontaneously healed. And then he spent more than 28 years building Coral Castle. um Yeah, which is in Florida, which I've been looking at on the internet.
00:54:24
Speaker
And it's just this weird collection of like carved shapes, really. i mean, they are sculptures, I guess. But there's like a collection of them. And it's very bizarre.
00:54:35
Speaker
I wonder if it impressed her. What a weird thing to do to impress someone who spurned you in Latvia to carve them a bunch of weird sculptures in Florida. Yeah, but would she have even seen them? It's a bizarre thing to do.
00:54:48
Speaker
Completely bizarre. Yeah, it's not as if he could send her like a tag for Google Maps. That's it. And Billy Idol wrote a song about it after he um saw an episode of a Leonard Nimoy program where Leonard Nimoy was sort of going on about this Coral Castle.
00:55:05
Speaker
we adjusted the soul to make it sweet 60 to make it more more age appropriate for Billy Idol and ourselves to be honest just a little bit yeah and you know I think Billy Idol having arrived at the age that he's always wanted to be 69 sixty nine Right, so um yeah so that was our our contribution to the Billy Idol album.
00:55:30
Speaker
One thing that's happened this month, let's just say it's been the season for different versions of Eyes Without a Face. It has. I mean, there there are quite a lot of Billy Idol songs.
00:55:41
Speaker
Yeah. i'm And actually, i am kind of sick of Billy Idol now. yeah. As we get towards the end of June, I don't want to hear any more Billy Idol. Right. ah But particularly this song, Eyes Without a Face, which I don't know why so many people chose to do this one.
00:55:59
Speaker
What is it? I think musically it's the most interesting of his songs. I think it's a little bit more interesting. It's not like a flat out rock and roll song. It's a slightly wonky 80s weird pop song. You know, the kind of pop songs you could only get away with in the 80s.
00:56:16
Speaker
I mean, I don't know what the, I'm not really sure about what is the demographic makeup of the PRF tribute series contributors. But Eyes Without Face was Billy Idol's first hit in the US.
00:56:30
Speaker
And it reached number four on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1983. So maybe it's in people's minds it's you know because it's there as a big song.
00:56:41
Speaker
But yeah, it's ah it's a weird song. Les Yeux Sans Visage. Based on a French horror film. It's about a plastic surgeon whose daughter, and and I'm trying to remember this now, I read it earlier, but she's injured in some sort of, I think it might be a car crash, but then he ends up killing people and taking their faces so that he can sew the faces onto his daughter's face, but...
00:57:10
Speaker
she ends up becoming like some unrecognizable eyes without a face kind of thing I've never seen it but it sounds interesting yeah but Billy Idol says that the film made him think of ah the meaninglessness of sort of having sexual encounters shall we say as a rock star when you're in a relationship with somebody but you're still getting involved in dalliances which is a bit weird isn't it really Poor old Billy.
00:57:41
Speaker
Maybe you should have called it Ass Without a Face. Thanks. um I've just had a look. There are 29 songs in the Bandcamp compilation of the PRF Multi-Tribute Series ah June 2025 edition Billy Idol.
00:57:57
Speaker
And of those 29 songs, seven of them seven are versions of Eyes Without a Face. We are. And we're going to have, Steve, something which I've chosen to call an Eyes Without a Face Off.
00:58:13
Speaker
Let's do it. Right. Okay. So number one Eyes Without a Face is by Hermosa.
00:58:21
Speaker
And it's, I think, a rather nice shoegazy version, isn't it? I like this one quite a lot,
00:58:32
Speaker
It's got great sound. Really good. say it's home recording. Yeah. And I also like the male and female vocals in unison. I really like that a lot.
00:58:49
Speaker
Next up, we've got Eyes Without a Face by Motorcade One.
00:58:59
Speaker
Motorcade One being friend of the podcast, Ian, ex of the Almanacs, Derby legends of the indie scene. Yeah. It's a very nice version. He's got his partner to do the female singy bit, which is great.
00:59:16
Speaker
Yeah, it's a bit more kind of like low-key, bit more melancholy. Nice, acoustic-y version. Okay. Next up we have... How did you pronounce this band?
00:59:30
Speaker
Ménard's. Ménard's. Eyes Without Face.
00:59:45
Speaker
Oh, I like the drums on that one. Yeah. That's a pretty faithful cover. But yeah, like it. You it is a good song.
01:00:00
Speaker
Mode. Oh, yeah. Track 13. Oh, yeah.
01:00:18
Speaker
Oh yeah, that one's that that was just like saxophone and guitar, isn't It is, yeah. And it's Taron, who we played one of his songs, his version of the Led Zeppelin track, which mixed Cabaret and Gary Garne, the aforementioned saxophone colossus of the PRF tribute series group.
01:00:38
Speaker
Oh yeah. He's a sax maniac. He is a sax maniac. He's a sex addict.
01:00:45
Speaker
You nearly got it wrong there. Yeah, I nearly got it wrong. He's a sax addict. Yeah, well, he's saxophone for hire on the PRF tribute series. Here we go. Next up, we've got... Hench, track 17, Eyes Face.
01:01:02
Speaker
Eyes, face, one without the other is so terrible Eyes, face, pondering their terror is unbearable It's got a bit of a groovy ghoulies kind of thing going on Do remember the groovy ghoulies? Do I remember the groovy ghoulies? Yes, I certainly do It's good.
01:01:24
Speaker
I like this. I like what they've done there. Did you ever wake up? Yeah, I did. decided that you wanted a new toy, so you go to the grocery store, and you walk through the aisles. You poke the meat, you squeeze the lemons, you glare at the bag boy, and he glares at you, and you get to the front, and you look at the shiny red toy machines, and you put your corner in the slot, and you crack the handle. That was good. like it when people don't just do a straight cover. I think that is good. You didn't want that. Nobody wants that. You wanted a temporary tattoo, or Next up we've got Willie Idol, Eyes Without a Face.
01:02:11
Speaker
I like about this one is I like the fact that Willie's kind of getting into some pretty heavy synth work on this one. He's known for his guitar, but this one's got some pretty heavy synths which I quite enjoy. And he also got his sister in to do the female vocal, which is always nice. You know, fraternal bonds. Get the family involved. Absolutely.
01:02:36
Speaker
All right, and is that it? No, we've got track 25, which is iron-like nylon. Let's have quick listen to that. I spend so much time Believing all lies To keep the tree alive
01:02:56
Speaker
Now it makes me sad. It makes me mad. like the weird breathing? Now it is you. This is so easy.
01:03:10
Speaker
Ah!
01:03:15
Speaker
find that one fairly alarming, but I do like it. and I like being alarmed sometimes. yeah I like the breathing. Yeah, one thing I've noticed, with particularly with this album in the PRF group, mostly on the versions of Eyes Without Face, some of the female vocals really remind me of one of my favourite old 4AD bands, who were called His Name Is Alive. Yes!
01:03:35
Speaker
They were not a popular band, but you know what i mean? It does have that posh girl singing kind of vibe. Yeah, yeah. So there you go. I'm glad it's not just me. yeah It's not just you. I get i've got that as well, but i couldn't I didn't put two and two together. I did not get the name of the band, but you're absolutely right.
01:03:51
Speaker
His Name Is Live. I'm going to go away and listen to some His Name Is Live after we've finished recording. What should I listen to? Oh, Home Is In Your Head is the second album.
01:04:03
Speaker
It's about 26 or more very, very short songs, like incredibly short songs. But I think it's the most weirdly coherent. And if you can find it, more than anything else, there's an EP called The Dirt Eaters. Oh. That was my favourite release of the four AD years. It's like a four five track EP and it is pretty much all great.
01:04:27
Speaker
There you go. you know But do not listen to the first album, Livonia, which is probably not their first album. They've released loads of stuff. I need to reel us back in there a minute. So in terms of the Eyes Without a Face Off...
01:04:41
Speaker
Which one would you vote for as being the ultimate champion? Ultimate warrior? Ultimate warrior. Ultimate warrior. I think my favorite, ah I like Eyes Face.
01:04:53
Speaker
I like Eyes Face. I like that a lot. And I really like Hamosa. I think Hermosa wins it for me. Yeah. Shall we say that then? We're going to say that as an inclusive, definite... Scientific.
01:05:06
Speaker
Winner of the of it of the Eyes Without a Face-Off. The inaugural, this are Johnny Domino, Eyes Without a Face-Off. Maybe we'll bring it back next year. Annual. We can make an annual thing. Cool.
01:05:17
Speaker
But yes, get into it, listen to the Billy Idol album and start digging around in the whole of the band camp pages of this because there's some interesting stuff on there.
01:05:29
Speaker
And it's all good, you know, people making their own entertainment. We're making a podcast in the face of certain dude. It's time for this on Johnny Domino.
01:05:41
Speaker
Oh, something like that. Anyway. We're nearly the end, Steve. Yes, we Nearly the end of the podcast, Steve. Cool. been Very nice. I've enjoyed talking. Thanks again to the people in the PRF tribute series for letting us play their clips without us asking them.
01:05:59
Speaker
ah You know, cease and desist notices will be obviously ignored. And thank you to Antonio for letting us play his stuff as well.
01:06:09
Speaker
But before we go to the ending, last episode, we did talk a little bit about Barish Mancho. Yes, we did. i began into some Turkish music and my good friend Turkey Paul got very upset that we picked a really bad, bearish Mancho song. So I'm just going to point out there are much better songs than the one that we chose, which was a ridiculous song, yeah something called Nick the Chopper.
01:06:35
Speaker
Yeah, there are much better songs. But I was happy to meet up with Turkey Paul the other day and we had plenty of good chats and i got him to record a little jingle for the podcast.
01:06:47
Speaker
Hello, this is Turkey Paul and I love listening to the Johnny Donomo podcast. the wrong I said, didn you know didn't Try again. i won't pause it. Do again.

Is it really obvious? I'm sure it is incredibly obvious. ah but I've got a question for you, Steve. If you could only listen to artists from one section, i.e. one letter,
01:10:08
Speaker
Yeah. For the rest of your life. Oh. Right. Which letter would you pick?
01:10:17
Speaker
There's a question. Should we have a bit of tumbleweed while you're thinking about it? No, I'm thinking, I'm playing the numbers, right? My first thought, but go for the numbers, the letter S, because it's quite a chunky section of my record collection.
01:10:32
Speaker
Yeah. But my first thought was Yeah. Because that way, D, because then I've got of got Bob Dylan, I've got D'Angelo, I've got Miles Davis.
01:10:44
Speaker
you know, got Dandelion Adventure. You know, I've got some really, and Della Soul. You know, it's probably a slightly more varied slot than the letter S, which is Sonic Youth and Slint. Yeah, yeah. And Stereolab. Yeah. and It's an interesting thing think about, isn't it, Steve? Interesting one. Interesting one.
01:11:02
Speaker
Obviously, the correct answer is P. Which P artists do you like? you know well you've got Which P artists do you not like? Pixies, Pavement, Portishead, Palace Brothers, Pastels?
