IT'S A TOP SHOW from Neil Lomax 📻🎧 🎙️ at Teenage Kicks. Bloody marvellous to hear The Very Things GXL's 'Time Is Not On My Side' in the mix with The Clash's 'White Riot' and Ian Dury's 'Sex And Drugs And Rock And Roll'. THANKS NEIL. mixcloud.com/neillomax73/sh…

This is the 'Ghost Pool'. We shot photographs for the 'Mr. Arc-Eye...' cover here just before it was demolished in 2021. This fabulous photograph is from March 1972, when the pool opened. And big thanks PM Music café for spinning 'Ghost Pool' on the show. mixcloud.com/radiopluscoven…

We were just thinking about 'Hop On Pop' as the next The Very Things GXL single... and then PM Music café gives it a spin. Maybe it's a sign. It's another SPLENDID show from Freddie & Charlie. Thanks lads. mixcloud.com/radiopluscoven… #alternativerock #postpunk #indiemusic

"SCRAAP EYE-UNNE!" howls the scrap iron man, rolling past '76 Trombone Street'. The Very Things GXL now on PM Music café with the brilliant Freddie and Charlie. It's TOP ENTERTAINMENT. Thanks lads. mixcloud.com/radiopluscoven… #postpunk #alternativerock #indiemusic

A still from my photo animation video for The Very Things' 'The Hole'... youtu.be/jNpu0BTWrgY?si… And it's a rare and welcome outing for the track on The Spinning Man Radio Show radio show... podomatic.com/.../theshend/e… #alternativerock #postpunk #gothic

Highly unexpected hear DcL Locomotive's BLISTERING 'King Midas In Reverse' on The Spinning Man Radio Show . Thanks The Shend. I remain immodestly proud of this, particularly the vocals. There's even talk of a re-release... podomatic.com/.../2025-06-02… #punk #postpunk #psychobilly

It really is wonderful to hear Silverlake's 'Tower of Sunshine' at the top of John Cavanagh's 'Soundwave'. It feels like a badge of honour to be included on this brilliant show. Thanks John. John Cavanagh Silverlake mixcloud.com/Radio_Six_Inte…

Fed up with the news? Us too. We're listening to this brilliant antidote instead – Freddie and Charlie's chaotic banter and tunes on PM Music café . And this week's show includes our very own The Very Things GXL's 'Driver'. Thank you lads. mixcloud.com/radiopluscoven… #postpunk

1985 was a very, very busy year for us. Forty years ago this week, were were just back from three brilliant days in Newcastle, filming 'The Bushes Scream...' for Channel 4's 'The Tube'. youtube.com/playlist?list=… #postpunk #indiemusic #alternativerock

'The Bushes Scream While My Daddy Prunes' was originally shot on 16mm film and directed by the brilliant Gavin Taylor, who had recently directed the concert film 'U2 at Red Rocks'. No idea what happened to those lads though. #postpunk #indiemusic #alternativerock

Last nights Playlist! Embrace the culture……

BLIMEY! WHAT A FIND! Disney has found some photos of the making of ‘THE BUSHES SCREAM WHILE MY DADDY PRUNES’ film! Here’s a taster… Billy Benson, The Shend and me, admiring the vintage Ford van with its TVT livery, in a Newcastle street closed off for filming. #Postpunk

Top work by Disney Time, unearthing these pics. I think he took this one too. It really has a strange timeless quality. 1985, but it could be 1965, if it wasn't for (what looks like) a Cortina Mk4 hiding in the background. I bet that got moved before the shoot... #Postpunk

A great big 'thank you' to PM Music café for spinning The Very Things GXL's '76 Trombone Street' on the last show! Thanks lads! mixcloud.com/radiopluscoven…

MORE FROM DISNEY’S VAULTS! From 19th June 1985: The Shend, Billy Benson and Rob Dallaway on the set of The Very Things' ‘The Bushes Scream While My Daddy Prunes’ film in Newcastle. Billy brought a plastic carrier bag full of jam sandwiches to the audition. Photo by Disney Time.

The MONSTROUS ‘Ghost Pool’ from The Very Things GXL's ‘Mr. Arc-Eye (under a cellophane sky)’ album is NOW RUMBLING OUT from the latest PM Music café show (23.7.25), along with a brilliant selection of top tunes and chat. Excellent stuff, thanks lads. #postpunk #indiemusic
