Let's just make one thing clear, this is NOT a Christmas episode of the "This Are Johnny Domino" podcast! Even so, the boys do seem a little giddy with the joys of the season at times… and it does feature a Christmas song.
The episode also includes:
- The usual 90s lo-fi wonderment
- Jesus on a yacht
- Steve’s school-day memories
- A very messy ending

Nostalgia in Fashion
00:00:00
Speaker
What's the matter with the clothes I'm wearing? Can't you tell that your tie is too wide? Maybe I should buy some old tab colours. Welcome back to the age of jive. Where have you been hiding out lately, honey? You can't dress trashy until you spend a lot of money. Everybody's talking about the new sound. Funny, but it's still, this our Johnny Domino. Idiot.
Introduction to the Music Podcast
00:00:46
Speaker
Hello and welcome back to This Are Johnny Domino. A very niche and a very cheerful podcast, I hope, about music that we used to make. I do love me some Billy Joel, by the way. Yeah, you remember Billy Joel. Billy Joel is great. We used to listen to him a lot in the car, didn't we, when we were going on holiday.
00:01:10
Speaker
in the first car that we had with the tape player that worked. We had about three tapes in the car. Yeah. I remember Dad's music was basically Billy Joel. Cat Stevens. Cat Stevens. And maybe a bit of Paul Simon, if you were lucky. Possibly, yeah.
00:01:28
Speaker
That was it. Formative stuff. That's a nice choice. Yes, as my brother Giles says, this podcast is quite niche, but hopefully it's entertaining for people to listen to. My name is Steve. And every episode...
00:01:44
Speaker
We normally listen to around three songs that we recorded back in the old days and try and choose one that we can put onto a best of compilation tape.
00:02:00
Speaker
I mean that's it basically. That's basically it. Shall we crack on? Tell us about the first song Steve.
Recording 'Got It Easy' in 1994
00:02:09
Speaker
The first song we're listening to today is by Johnny Domino and it is called Got It Easy.
00:02:16
Speaker
I think we recorded the music at the tail end of 1994. And then when I went back to university, I must have left the microphone up because there are a lot of songs that we recorded where you did the vocals on your own. And I think this is one of them. And also, you actually dared to play some lead guitar on this song. And I was not around for the recording of that.
00:02:39
Speaker
You weren't supervising me. No, no, but as we've mentioned before, I was very, very protective of my role as the guitarist in Johnny Domino. Who else has played on this song? It was me on acoustic guitar, you playing drums and our old mate Albert on bass. And we've got photographic evidence of this whole session.
00:03:02
Speaker
Nice. I'll send them over to you because it'd be worth people seeing. You know, you've asked me about my mic placement and the use of the microphone. It's quite telling the shot of me playing the acoustic guitar because we've got a camera tripod with a cheap black microphone taped to it. And that was the mic stand. And I think the mic was the one that came with the four track.
00:03:27
Speaker
Nice. Lo-fi heaven. And then you are playing the drums, and you've got your old plaid shirt over the snare drum. Oh, yeah. At the end of this song, there is an interesting little aside, which is a reminder of a time when I lived a nocturnal and slightly hazy existence in East London. And I was living with my friend Pete, and we were two footloose and fancy free cartoonists against the world.
00:03:56
Speaker
And one day I managed to convince Pete to leave the house during daylight and put on a little bit of music to psych ourselves
Nocturnal Music Creation in East London
00:04:06
Speaker
up. And this is evidence of it at the end. So listen out for that.
00:05:36
Speaker
But why did you ever play? That's the golden ticket You know you'll never pick it I'm not an optimist But I think that maybe you should be
00:06:37
Speaker
She can't
00:06:51
Speaker
Yeah, he's not putting that on, that is his actual singing voice. He really could not hold a tune, could he? No, no. That's weird, you're saying it was like a daytime recording because I always assumed that was a nighttime recording. No, that was like we were going out in the afternoon. In the daylight? Yeah, in the daylight. Like the Vampiric cartoonists of London. We were, yeah. I think that song could have done with being a bit longer. What I remember is I
00:07:16
Speaker
I think I wrote the chord progression and I had a completely different idea of which bit was the chorus. And I was quite surprised when I came back and you'd recorded the vocals. But now I can't imagine which bit I thought was the chorus. I've got no idea what I was thinking. But that subterranean bass line that Albert's playing, he's tuned it down. But oh man, I love that bass line.
00:07:43
Speaker
It is good, yeah. It's really nice. Good work, Albert. Yeah, good work, Albert. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I just think it's a bit short. Yeah. I think it could have done with another verse or I don't know what you could have added to it, I suppose. But I just wanted a bit more. Just play it again. I suppose you could play it again. I mean, sometimes some songs just go on too long. True. True. You know, it's better to leave you wanting more.
00:08:12
Speaker
Yeah, definitely. I like the fact that you let me get away with that guitar bit. Yeah. Again, I can't imagine it without it now. Yeah. It's great. It's sloppy. Yeah, definitely. It's good and sloppy. It's nice. Do you remember a few episodes ago when I was talking about the song Drunken Master? Yeah. And my sort of slight
00:08:37
Speaker
period of interest in kung fu movies. Yeah. Well, this is further evidence of that, because the actual line in that song, which is something like, you call it kung fu, but it looks more like dancing to me. That actually is a line from Drunken Master. That's great. Yeah. So that is actually from that. And at that point, I don't think I'd ever even eaten tofu. I actually quite like tofu now. Well, there you go. A bit of silken tofu. Yeah, it's all right, isn't it, actually?
00:09:07
Speaker
The line about straying from your campus dressed like someone from another age. Yeah. I don't know. I just I've got an image of a student dressed in sort of Tudor costume.
00:09:21
Speaker
walking through the Hare Hills estate in Leeds. This isn't something you saw, though, was it? No, just imagining it, really. That would be a baller look to try and get away with at university. Yeah, it would. Dressing up like a Tudor. Dressing up like a Tudor walking. I mean, that sixth entry, we talked about the last mod, you know, in his parker and stuff. Yeah.
00:09:43
Speaker
You can kind of imagine that someone going, right. I'm going Tudor. Yeah. I prefer, I prefer the early stuff. Yeah. Yeah. It's setting yourself a challenge there. Where'd you buy a cod piece these days? Or a Merkin. I'm not sure what else to say about that. No. We could always, always get on eBay. Probably. Cod piece as ours. I am not searching for that. I'm not having that coming up in my search history.
00:10:13
Speaker
Let's leave that to the listener. Okay. If you've got an interest in buying cod pieces, maybe you could let us know.
00:10:19
Speaker
Now, the next song we're going to talk about is by Johnny Domino and it is I Saw Three Ships.
Christmas Song 'I Saw Three Ships'
00:10:26
Speaker
As we record this, it is the start of December. It has snowed everywhere on our street and on your street as well, Johnny. It's a beautiful winter wonderland out there. Yeah. And this is obviously a Christmas song.
00:10:43
Speaker
It's a song that we recorded for an Artist Against Success compilation called Kung Fu Santa with a Christmas Punchback. Kung Fu again. Kung Fu Santa with a Christmas Punchback. Yeah and it's really good and it's literally just been put on Spotify by Rob. Yeah. And I'm really glad of it actually because I think it's a really
00:11:08
Speaker
I find it quite an enjoyable listen, particularly this time of year. I think there's some really interesting and quite weird songs on there. So I would recommend it to people if you've not heard it. And if you're looking for something to add to your Christmas playlist, there are some good songs on it. There's some crackers. I mean, just forget the Christmas playlist and just put the album on really. Yeah. A particular favorite of mine is June in December.
00:11:36
Speaker
by the frightened prisoners of the Kraken. That is a cracker, actually. It's a really good song. Yeah. I quite like I'm Going to Kill Myself for Christmas by the wonderful Frankie Machine. I think that is a really good one. And Shilton's Fingertips, actually. They're both good tracks. Yeah. And I made Frankie, aka Rob, re-record Shilton's Fingertips.
00:12:00
Speaker
with me playing keyboards on it because it's one of my favourite Frankie Machine songs ever. And I am one of Frankie's machines. I play a lot of keyboards on a wide variety of Frankie Machine songs. And I played live with them. Yeah, you did. It's got a good cover on it as well, the album.
00:12:19
Speaker
Yeah, I think it's a drawing that Jimmy drew. Yeah, it's a nice one. It's a really good cover. I mean, it's literally Kung Fu Santa with a Christmas punch bag. Literally that. And he's saying the words, give me mince pie. Which is a good line. The whole thing's odd in a good way. And we're on it. Yeah. We've got a couple of tracks. And the one we're going to listen to today is Three Ships.
00:12:49
Speaker
I saw three ships. Yeah, which is, I believe, our interpretation of a traditional song. Are you going to tell me otherwise? No, I think it's a traditional Christmas song. I don't know what the words mean at all. I mean, I might have a look at genius while we're listening to it. I think the words mean happy birthday, Jesus. As you'll hear, he's on a boat. He's on a boat with his lady. Yeah, well, maybe you went on a bit of a journey.
00:13:18
Speaker
Now I'm picturing Jesus in the video for Rio, you know, Duran Duran. Well, that's it. There you go. Jesus on a yacht. So when we're listening to this, imagine Jesus standing up front of a yacht dressed in a similar way to Simon Le Bon. Yeah. The wind's blowing back his quaffed hair. And it's his birthday. Wowzers. Apologies to any people of a religious persuasion that are listening. I don't think they'll mind.
00:13:55
Speaker
I saw three ships come sailing in On Christmas day, on Christmas day I saw three ships come sailing in On Christmas day in the morning And what was in those ships all three On Christmas day, on Christmas day And what was in those ships all three On Christmas day in the morning
00:14:24
Speaker
you
00:14:30
Speaker
Our Savior Christ and His Lady On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day Our Savior Christ and His Lady On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
00:15:05
Speaker
Oh, they sail to Bethlehem on Christmas Day, on Christmas Day. Oh, they sail to Bethlehem on Christmas Day in the morning. And all the bells on earth shall ring on Christmas Day, on Christmas Day. And all the bells on earth shall ring on Christmas Day in the morning.
00:15:46
Speaker
And all the angels in heaven shall sing On Christmas day, on Christmas day And all the angels in heaven shall sing On Christmas day in the morning And all the souls on earth shall sing On Christmas day, on Christmas day And all the souls on earth shall sing On Christmas day in the morning
00:16:14
Speaker
Then let us all rejoice a-ming On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day Then let us all rejoice a-ming On Christmas Day in the morning That is a genuinely peculiar song
00:16:44
Speaker
It's a bit of an interesting record, isn't
Historical Exploration of 'I Saw Three Ships'
00:16:46
Speaker
it? Yeah. It does make me think of a very dark and icy night in December. Yeah. And it'd be in very quiet. Obviously, I've been on Wiki while we were listening to that. I Saw Three Ships Come Sailing In is an English Christmas carol listed as number 700 in the round folk song index. The earliest printed version of I Saw Three Ships is from the 17th century.
00:17:14
Speaker
from possibly Derbyshire. Oh, nice. The lyrics mention the ships sailing into Bethlehem, but the nearest body of water into Dead Sea about 20 miles away. So he's not getting to Bethlehem. Three ships is thought to originate in the three ships that bore the purported relics of the biblical Magi to Cologne Cathedral in the 12th century. Wow.
00:17:39
Speaker
So it's a right hodgepodge of different bits and buzz. I think that's kind of what makes it interesting, isn't it? Yeah. It's a hodgepodge in the way that we recorded it as well, which I like. I think one thing that I would mention that I really like is Mark, I think Mark plays a blinder on that one. On his vocals. I really like the, his folky kind of backing vocals.
00:18:05
Speaker
You can hear his Northumbrian roots there. Yeah, I like that. I think as far as the music's concerned, if you can call it music, I think Mark just gave me the keys to his keyboard toy box and I think I did it all. I think, again, he played a blinder by providing the keyboards.
00:18:26
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, definitely. It's like, you know, I just had a bit of a play with them and then sort of like the magical rippling keyboard bit is a little Casio keyboard and I'm just playing the black keys again. Yeah. Just rubbing my hands up and down on the black keys. It's a good trick though, isn't it? I might have got a blister.
00:18:48
Speaker
from doing that. I'm suffering from my art. We're big fans of the swelling drone synth sound, weren't we? For a while. I'm sure Mark will be able to tell us what we were using as far as cables were concerned. What were we using?
00:19:09
Speaker
Jim finds a very good voice, I think, on that one. Yeah. It's very precise, lyrically precise. Yeah. Yeah. It's not his usual persona. No. But I quite like it. We all try on a different personality slightly at Christmas time, don't we? Wow. Yeah.
00:19:34
Speaker
And obviously you're singing on it as well. Yeah, there's a bit of high, high Giles action. High Giles action. High Giles. Yeah. It transports me, Steve. It transported me. And it's like one that I kind of like to, I'm quite proud of that song. Can I just say for this recording, I've had to close the blinds in the room.
00:19:56
Speaker
where I am because I was getting too distracted by watching odd bods on our street walking up and down. I think the final straw was seeing somebody walking to clear their car in a t-shirt and wearing fluffy sliders on their feet. And I think at that point I really had to go close the blinds because otherwise I'm going to be too distracted watching people being mental.
00:20:24
Speaker
keep those blinds closed. I too am having some... We're having a bit of a battle this episode because I'm having, again, a recurring theme in the podcast. I'm having a few dog issues here. The dog's stomach is making some very strange noises. Has she been out? Well, she doesn't want to go out because it's like there's snow on the ground.
00:20:46
Speaker
So she's kind of like sort of looking at me and her stomach's googling. I don't like the sound of this. I know. I feel that there may be an explosion coming. It could be a disaster. Oh my God. So I hope it doesn't happen while we're recording.
Feature: Entering the 'Eternal Halls of the Four-Track Gods'
00:21:01
Speaker
Right. Next. Next up. Next up. Right. The next song is a bit of a bone of contention because we have a recurring feature amongst the many features of the podcast is you have to say it.
00:21:17
Speaker
The eternal halls of the four-track God. Regular listeners will remember that this is a result of me sharing a few episodes ago, one of the first songs we recorded in one of the first musical outfits that we had, that being Hot Sex Momma by The Dirty Shades, which featured a vocal from a prepubescent Steve.
00:21:43
Speaker
singing about a hot sexy mama with her bottom on fire. You've not got over that.
00:21:48
Speaker
I expose myself and through that we have started requesting other artists, musical performers and people who have fiddled around doing music in their youth to send us their tapes. And if they are deemed good enough, they will gain entrance into the halls of the four track Gods. Gods, Gods, Gods, Gods, Gods. And as I was effectively the first person to submit a song, I assumed that I would get a t-shirt, but oh no. I'm shaking my head.
00:22:18
Speaker
Mm. Apparently doesn't count. Doesn't count. So in order to gain entrance into the eternal halls, blah, blah, blah, and get a t-shirt, which is the main thing I want, I am going to expose myself further by presenting a piece of music that I recorded
00:22:37
Speaker
as part of my GCSE coursework. Yeah. You're going to, you're sending in an entry into the eternal halls. And, uh, if it's deemed worthy for entry, you're prostating yourself in front of the halls. Yeah. Aren't you? I'm telling you now, if it doesn't gain entry, then it's going to be an awkward Christmas. That's all I'm saying. And you're hoping to gain entry, but we'll see. We'll see what happens. That t-shirt could be yours. Fingers crossed.
00:23:08
Speaker
What colour do you want? Well, I don't know if I've got one yet, do I? Because I've got to play this piece of music. Now, when I was doing my GCSE music, all I've got to say is I was talking to our teacher, Barbara Plant, and I had to do some composing, but I didn't really have the chops to write a manuscript or something like that.
00:23:29
Speaker
And she said, well, we've got some equipment in the music department that she might want to play around with. And she opened this cupboard and inside there was a drum machine, a BOSS DR220. There was a sampling keyboard, a little Casio SK1 or something like that. She's got about two seconds of sampling time.
00:23:52
Speaker
and a four track tape recorder. And it was all just in this cupboard that no one knew was there effectively. And she, God bless her. She basically gave them to me for the duration of my GCSE coursework. Good old Barbara. Good old Barbara. So this is a song that I recorded like that. I've got some stuff to say about some other pieces of music I remember from my class.
00:24:20
Speaker
Let's have a listen. Let's do a bit of it. This is Hi Dad. This is Hi Dad. Hi. Bye. It's by me. Bye, Steve. I have led this one. I have led this one. OK, Scott. I have led this one. OK. I have led this one. OK, Scott. I have led this one. OK, Scott. I have led this one. OK, Scott. I have led. I have led.
00:25:03
Speaker
I'm going over there now, you hold us until I call. I'm going over there now, you hold us until I call. I'm going over there now, you hold us until I call. I'm going over there now.
00:25:28
Speaker
Okay! Okay! Okay! Okay! Okay! Okay! Okay! Okay! Okay! Okay! Okay! Okay! Okay! Okay!
00:26:05
Speaker
Thank you. Yeah.
00:26:11
Speaker
What's that bit from? I'm going over there now. Hold off till I call. What's that from? Well, I think all I did was I turned the TV on in my room and just recorded some dialogue. So you don't know what it was from? Well, I think it might be from the Australian soap opera Sons and Daughters. Oh, nice, yeah.
00:26:31
Speaker
And people may be shouting, oh no, it's Elsa Stewart from Home and Away, because I think it's the actress, what was her name, Judy Nunn, who played Elsa in Home and Away, but she also played Irene in Sons and Daughters, and I think it might be from Sons and Daughters.
00:26:48
Speaker
I can hear a bit of a B-52s influence in the rhythm there. Yeah, yeah. We used to love the B-52s, didn't we? We've not really talked about them very much. They've got a comeback, I think. Man, I'm wearing, at the moment, I'm wearing my B-52s t-shirt. Nice. Which is just bizarre. But yeah, everything that we've ever done, a great deal of it certainly takes a lot from the B-52s. Yeah.
00:27:14
Speaker
Yeah, so the beat, there's a bit of the drum machine and then I've obviously sampled hitting a bin for the snare, and then I must have sampled a note from an acoustic guitar to play the bass. I like the bit at the end when I'm playing the bass line, I've obviously discovered there's a button that says delay. But I've orderedly gone, wonder what that button does, and just recorded it.
00:27:38
Speaker
And I was able to submit those as part of my coursework because one of the things you had to talk about was how you wrote it. And I said to Miss Plant, I just made it up as I went along and she gave me the two words that saved my book, which were through composed.
00:27:56
Speaker
through composed, which is just making up as you go along. OK, but it's a it's a better way of putting it through composed. I think I did three pieces of music very similar to that. Let us forever from now on.
00:28:11
Speaker
refer to it as through composed, whenever we do that sort of thing. It's a beautiful thing, isn't it? Through composed. That piece was through composed. Right, there you go. That's now going to be something that we use. Yeah. Thanks, Miss Plant. Thank you, Miss Pray. What grade did you get? I got to be. Well done. Thanks. Well done. Good job. Can I just mention there was the only other piece of music, I remember one of my classmates handing in
00:28:37
Speaker
I can't remember. I think the kid's name was Ian. And he had this little acoustic guitar song that he wrote. And the words were, do what you want to do, because baby, you're the one. Be what you want to be. I know we'll get along because you're the one. I think when he played it... That sounds like a Robbie Williams song. Well, the thing is, when we were at school, we all kind of...
00:29:07
Speaker
He didn't have the strongest voice and he was playing the melody on a single line of his acoustic guitar, like a single note melody on his acoustic guitar and singing it in quite a warbly kind of way. So obviously being very supportive children, we all kind of laughed at him. And I can't remember if we realized at the time or maybe after I'd left school, but there was a Children's Film Foundation film called Pop Pirates.
00:29:36
Speaker
And I'm not doing any research about the pop pirates, but I think in my memory it was kind of, it was about some plucky kids setting up their own pirate radio station so they can play their own songs.
00:29:50
Speaker
The Children's Film Foundation is a non-profit organisation which makes films and other media for children in the United Kingdom. Originally it made films to be shown as part of children's Saturday morning matinee cinema programming. Pop Pirates is a 1984 British adventure film from the Children's Film Foundation starring George Sweeney and, somewhat improbably, Roger Daltrey of The Who.
00:30:16
Speaker
The Pirates are a schoolboy pop group and they enter a major talent contest. Things are going well, but unbeknownst to the others, Lead Singapore is heavily involved with his uncle's video piracy scam. I know where you're going with this. Are you telling me that he completely ripped it off? He completely ripped it off. Oh dear.
00:30:43
Speaker
So, here they are again with their winning number. You're the one. Let's hear it for Pirates!
00:31:28
Speaker
Did he get discovered? I honestly can't remember. I think he certainly got discovered by the kids. But yeah, Miss Plant was good, but I do remember as part of our coursework, we had to study the works by Queen, the whole album was like the set text. And she talked about one song, it might have been Hammer to Fall, and talking about Brian May's guitar playing being influenced by
00:31:54
Speaker
Jimi Hendrix. Okay. And Miss Plant said to the whole class, unfortunately, Jimi Hendrix died. He got electrocuted whilst playing the guitar with his teeth. And I put my hand up and said, no, he didn't. Being a precocious little music nerd. I mean, I remember Miss Plant and I remember, I mean, she taught me music as well. And I can't imagine that she engaged into a discussion with you. No, that did not happen.
00:32:22
Speaker
No. But he did not. Yeah, misinformation. Don't believe anything that those teachers say, kids. She had a very interesting way of saying the word sellotape. Can you remember? She had lots of little... Sellotape. Sell-o-tape. She almost emphasized the O in sell-o-tape. Sell-o-tape. But I can't fault her because she gave me the four track, the sampling keyboard and the drum machine.
00:32:48
Speaker
on a very, very, very long loan. Maybe that's the beginning. That's the foundation stone on which all of this is built, you see? All of this faffing about that we're talking about. Yeah, absolutely. And it's all because she had those in her cupboard. But there you go.
Steve's Song 'Hi Dad' Earns a Place in the Hall
00:33:06
Speaker
That was HIDAD and it was part of my GCSE coursework and I got to be. Well, Steve, I've got good news for you. The verdict's in and I think
00:33:17
Speaker
We're going to allow Haidad to enter into the eternal hall of the four-track gods. Gods, gods, gods. I'm sorry. Your t-shirt's on its way. Thanks. And because of that, you will get a Christmas present from me. Thank you. Because if you hadn't, it just wouldn't happen. But thank you. I'm honored to gain admission into the hall. Well done.
00:33:48
Speaker
thank you very much for listening to the podcast just wait just just hold on a second just hold on a second because i just had an idea for another bit literally just had a bit just an idea right here's a thought for you yeah yeah if you had a music program that you were in charge of what would you call it
00:34:13
Speaker
What would the title of the program be? It might be a radio show, like Jarvis Cocker's Finest Hour, or it might be a TV program, if you like, depending on what you want. It might be something like a title like The Old Grey Whistle Test or The Tube. What would you call it? What would be a good title for your music program? Yet again, you're firing a question at me. I've got no ideas whatsoever.
00:34:43
Speaker
It will probably be something really naff. Yeah. I think it needs to be. Okay. It needs to be. I've considered a few definitely because I've been thinking about this. There's some quite terrible ones like the Saturday vibe. I quite like that one. I like a bit of a Saturday vibe or this is the day. I like that one. Okay. But I've settled on.
00:35:09
Speaker
Ready? Yeah. In capital letters. Of course. Let's go! Exclamation point. Exclamation mark, yeah. Yeah, it's positive. It's got a sense of movement. It's looking forward, but with a sense of learning from the past. And it also sounds a bit like an 80s magazine.
00:35:30
Speaker
Hang on, I've just got to... It's like, there's a... You're gonna piss on my chips, aren't you now? No, I'm not at all, but it's just... No, no, no, not at all. Oh man, what was the... Let's go! In the young ones, there was like a youth TV programme. Was it called Let's Go? No, no, but it had a really awful name, but it was absolutely spot on. Oh man, what's it called?
00:35:58
Speaker
It's like the Tony Wilson one, which had all the cool bands. It was called Something Else, wasn't it? Which is an absolutely dreadful name for a youth TV program. I feel like you're co-opting my end bit by just making it into the sound of you tapping on a keyboard now.
00:36:25
Speaker
Are we going to end this? I need to round it all, but are you going to add anything else to it? Look, when I find it out, I'll stick it in as a little edit because that's just really bugging me. I will find it out. Okay.
Brainstorming Music Program Names
00:36:44
Speaker
In order to save you, dear listener, from having to listen to genuinely two minutes of me scrabbling around on a keyboard trying to find out what the clip was, I will tell you that in the first episode of The Young Ones called Demolition, there was a small section where there was a youth TV programme called Nosing Around.
00:37:10
Speaker
Hi, my name's Bad, and me and my mates thought the TV just wasn't now, right? I expect, like us, you're not into all that stuff your old man's into, right? So, we just thought we'd have a programme for us, right? And this is it, nosin' around.
00:37:29
Speaker
Yeah, N-O-Z. Z for that. It's a programme for young adults, made by young adults, and concentrating on all the subjects that young adults are interested in, like unemployment. Maggie! Thank you very much for listening to that.
00:37:51
Speaker
So let's go. Let's go. Let's go. I've got the title. And then I thought, what's the nearest thing you can do to program in a music show these days? A playlist or a podcast? You can make a Spotify playlist. And guess what? I'm sharing it with the people. So it's yours.
00:38:19
Speaker
It's free. Let's go. Okay. Listen to it. Okay. You need to send me a link for that. Thank you very much for listening to the podcast. As always. Hold on a second. Oh, Jesus. What have I done now?
00:38:37
Speaker
Just want to flag up next episode. Next episode is an interesting one. We got to the end of the year. Next episode is going to be a bit different and we're going to do a looking back. We're going to go back and have a look at what songs are on the compilation tape so far.
00:39:03
Speaker
See if it works as a tape. See if it works as a tape. Just a bit of a review of what we've done so far. So it might be a bit of a longer episode, but it'll be kind of in that new year period. So you might have a bit of time to listen to it. Yeah. Okay. And that's what's happening. Beautiful.
00:39:22
Speaker
Anyway, now I think I will allow you to finish the podcast. God bless you. Thank you so much for listening to the podcast. Merry Christmas, by the way. No, you're dating it. This podcast is going to stay online forever.
00:39:36
Speaker
Thank you for listening to the podcast. Take four.

Adding 'Got It Easy' to the Compilation
00:40:10
Speaker
Oh, I've just realized something. What? We didn't decide which track was going on the tape. This is such a shambar again into the episode. Yeah. Should we start? Should we not do the ending again then? All right. Okay. We'll go back. We'll go back. All right. Okay. And I'll slip it in. No, no, let's, this is, this is still the, we're still going to keep it in this order. Yeah. So which song are we going to include on the tape?
00:40:35
Speaker
I think we have to decide this episode rather than leaving it to the general public to decide. So as we've got a submission to the eternal halls of the Fortran Cottacostacods, ordinarily that would not be going forward onto the tape. So let's discount that. It's a head-to-head between Got It Easy and I Saw Three Ships and my vote goes to Got It Easy.
00:40:58
Speaker
There you go. Okay. I'm going to go along with you on this one, even though every essence of my being at Christmas time wants it to be the other one because someone might be listening to this in August. So I'm going to go with got it easy as the song that goes onto the compilation tape, mainly because of the bass playing.
00:41:28
Speaker
I genuinely think it's a good song. Yeah. And the fact that you let me play a weird guitar bit. I let you. Yes, I let you. I let you. If you remember rightly, I wasn't in the room, so you helped yourself. You didn't erase it. No, God, no, it was great. Right. That's it.
