Winky And The Stain

We're back now! It's OK everyone, we're back now! It's been a few weeks, we've been caught up in intense self-analysis. Here's a bonus episode of Spotify spin-the-wheel to 'reward' your patience. Winky dons the blindfold and jabs wildly in the dark, while the Stain masterfully parries his thrusts. www.facebook.com/winkyandthestain

Winky and the Stain went to the pub with Big Brother Ibrahim, aka Bill, aka Jealous Oberon. After the pub we recorded this podcast set in the year 1984. A lot of lessons have now been learnt. Thanks to Bill for guesting, thanks particularly to Producer Will for making something listenable out of our boozy chunterings. www.facebook.com/winkyandthestain

To celebrate the latest irruption of the south's premier electronica, post-rock, hiphop and sundries night, The Nob Out Room, Winky and the Stain welcome Nob Out found Ian 'KILLblinton' Roberts to the show to relive their youth and play tunes by people who have graced the show over the years. Also featuring our second ever live phone-in. Go here for the nob: https://www.facebook.com/events/474078626003540/

The letters of the alphabet go in this order: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ You know this. Winky and the Stain know this. I don't know what we're trying to prove.

It's a winky wonky rave! The thoroughly elusive Boards of Canada have put out a new record, Tomorrow's Harvest, which The Stain thinks is brilliant and which Winky hasn't really listened to yet. To commemorate all these facts, here's a Winky and the Stain Warp Records special. Not exactly a best of, not exactly a retrospective, just us playing some of our favourites from the label. The Stain has a dream; Winky has a drink; Producer Will has a honking guff.

It's a lovely afternoon, why don't we sit outside? Winky and the Stain grab some delicious treats and a glass of wine, step into the garden and soak up the spring sunshine. And for some reason they start smiling and playing happy music. Can this be connected? Winky and the Stain - the sound of mackerel pâté.

Winky and the Stain are back again, and this time with the very wonderful JayetAl as guests! We talk about their new album and play some of the tunes off it, and James and Al play music by people they love. Visit JayetAl's website here: http://www.jayetal.co.uk/ See the promised live vid of ODT here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKFnFUOUum0 Check out Greg "STANLEYMATE" Ashby here: https://soundcloud.com/stanleymate We're sorry it all went terribly wrong at the end. Most embarrassing that it should happen when we had guests. But there's plenty to enjoy before the sticky end.

Winky and the Stain get pretty far out. Well, Winky does, he goes into space. The Stain stays at home and tries to keep everything morally anchored. Listen and learn

Winky and the Stain demonstrate the breadth of a state education with this show about numbers and counting.

A special Winky and the Stain look at the animal kingdom. The animal kingdom remains unmoved. Featuring our first guest star!

Bonus podcast! Winky and the Stain play some of the tunes that saw them through the dark times in the year just gone. We got a bit tipsy in this one and talked about air conditioning for ages. Enjoy!

We finally finish talking about minority interest German rock - this time Faust, Popul Vuh and Can! A show packed with celebrity anecdotes, cheap fizzy wine and Winky staying awake.

In which we criminally disparage hippies but play their music anyway, Winky gets confused by things he doesn't recognise, and the Stain flirts delicately with the Nazis. Psych-rock, counter culture and loads of Amon Düül(s).

Part one of the Winky and der Fleck krautrock special, covering Ash Ra Tempel, Cosmic Jokers, Kraftwerk, Neu!, Cluster, Harmonia... Production slightly better but still a work in progress. We will get better.

Winky and the Stain get all know-all, until it all gets too much...

Winky and the Stain have a bit of a chat about the career of Squarepusher
