According to Campbell, the man who made it, Episode 15 of the Friends of the Stars Podcasts is, “like listening to Radio fucking 4″.
Let’s see about that, shall we.
Executive Producer Robson turns the tables on this one and becomes the man with the questions, grilling a clearly excited Craig about his recent trip to New Zealand. Expect the usual great tunes, swearing and that peculiar kind of back-handed ignorance you only get from British people when they are forced to leave this rainy island.
(Sorry to all Kiwis)

Episode 13 of the Friends of the Stars Podcast is an accidental Burns Night Special. Normally the mention of specific dates and events are avoided when the podcasts are recorded, and mainly because the finished article often takes an age to go online. However, and as you’ll hear, the date and time cat was allowed to go galloping out of the bag on this one..
As well as laying down the plans for 2009 at the allotment, Executive Producer Robson and Craig discuss The Myth of The Deep-Fried Mars Bar, How Hard It Is To Dig A Grave… Read the rest

Here we go again with Episode 12 of the Friends of the Stars Podcast series..
“The Robson of the Sierra Madre”, on the interwebs and direct to your ears, finds Executive Producer Robson and Craig hitting their stride early doors and already 2 beers down. Punctuating a selection of fine tunes from the likes of AC/DC, Dolly Parton and Glen Campbell the conversation veers violently between subjects including The Crisis in English Cricket, The Futility of Novelty Socks as a Personality Statement and, controversially, What To Have For Pudding.

Clocking in at 35 minutes and 12 seconds, Episode 11 finds a reasonably lubricated Executive Producer Robson and Craig discussing Wax Cylinder Recording Devices, The Nocturnal Habits Of Chris Martin and, without any apparent irony, The Meaning and Consequences of Libel. As usual, the podcast contains a smattering of industrial language and a selection of fine tunes, including a hat tip to the recently late Ron Asheton.

Roll up, roll up for the first FOTS-POD of 2009, which also happens to be the one that takes the tally of podcasts into double figures. However you do the maths, this means we have now unleashed almost 7 hours worth of music and swearing to a disinterested interweb. Makes you proud, doesn’t it.
Episode 10 is a more sedate affair than previous releases. Executive Producer Robson and Craig are found here in a pensive, post-New Year mood and engage in discussions on subjects including Rock Climbing in Cornwall, How The Gulf Stream Keeps Britain Warm and Why The Beatles Aren’t in iTunes. Indeed, it’s not until the alcohol kicks in… Read the rest

It’s almost the end of 2008 and End-of-Year lists will be popping up all over the interweb, so here’s me adding mine to the growing online pile
Mine is a random mixture, shown in no particular order, of some of the cool/weird things that happened to me in 2008. It also has some of the things the band got up to, some of the music I happened to like and also just a little bit about some of the interweb doohickeys that caught my eye.
Here goes…..

Episode 9 of our Podcast sees Executive Producer Robson and Campbell reunited for the first time in a long time. Tune in and listen as they fondly reminisce times good and bad, and then cover the ears of nearby children as they bicker like schoolgirls who have drunk too much lager. Occasionally they can be heard to discuss actual subjects such as The Economy, Dog Allergies and The Official Secrets Act.
As usual the swearing and cussing is punctuated by a selection of great tunes. In the past we haven’t published a tracklist because we were offering prizes to people who could name the tunes featured… Read the rest
