We begin this episode by talking about the lost world of Robot Wars. Robot Wars was big when I was a kid. back in the days when Phillippa Forester was attractive and technology was exciting and new. As always you can listen to or download this episode
And Remember if it's way too loud. then YOU'RE WAY TOO OLD. Both Matt and I are way too old.
On with the anomalistically intoxicating
Track Listings.
'Who's Gonna Save My Soul' by Gnarls Barkley
This track was the follow up to,'Who's gonna do the washing up.' and the even earlier prequel, 'who's turn is it to cook dinner?' Neither of those tracks quite made it to the album.
'Night Cap' by The Coma Brides (Matt's mate Tim)
I haven't slept for days... I've been up all night thinking of famous people whose names could be made into phallic references. George Cockington. Dickalous Cage... David Tasslehoff. The list goes on.
Life is a gift, a brief flash of light in an eternity of darkness. I just thought of another one... Edward Woodward.
'Time to Pretend' by MGMT
When I was a teenager not only did I think that I was destined for greatness, I was pretty much convinced that all of my circle of friends were going to make it and make it big. The class clown would end up on Have I Got News for You. The school covers band (Footpath to Satan's Monkey Boner*) were going to play Wembley Stadium. The Girl next Door would attain her dream of becoming Hollywood Hooker, just like Julia Roberts.
I was going to write a novel and win the Nobel Prize for Literature because the Booker was too pop. I now realise the crushing statistical unlikeliness that stood in our way.
'Twenty Two' by Millencolin
Wheres the Catch! get it, get it. Oh come on guys, at least pretend it's funny.
'Little Lion Man' by Mumford and Sons
I've said it before and I'll say it again. I'm pretty short and I move pretty fast, if you don't stop and look down once in a while, you just might miss me.
I've never said this in my life.
I am not actually that short. If this were the middle ages, I'd be considered 'Strapping'

'A New England' by Jonah Matranga (from Far) (originally by Billy Bragg)
I know you 'Say' that you are not looking for a New England, but quite frankly I think you protest too much. Picture America as a goal... (a soccer goal) New England is pretty much exactly where you would want to put the ball if you were taking a penalty. It borders Canada.... So you know it's good.

'Road Runner' Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers
'State of the Union' by Rise Against
Midway through my nightly lovemaking routine, I like to stop and deliver a mid-congress speech on the state of our union. I will discuss, at length, how I feel I am doing. I will reflect on things I have already done. I will go on to make vague and conceptual promices about the future and what I intend to do next. Promises which I am often unable to keep.
Goodnight.
*I did not make that up. Matt was in the year below me and his covers band were called (the) Angst.
