i love wild swans , from Brasil

As an mature punx lady myself, I loved NMA as a teenager. So great to see them thriving😍

Rozz Williams/Christian Death 👌

Poly was committed to a nut house after she told her mama she'd seen a flying saucer. Moral of the story: If you see a UFO, don't tell anyone, FFS.

Poly chucked her out of X Ray Spex for being a black witch. Weren't you scared?

Curious to hear the rest of the new album.....

Such a down to earth guy, really hope they keep doing what they’re doing, love New Model Army!!

What a lovely man. Talking about the lack of intensity when comparing JD to NO.

Inherited trauma is an acknowledged condition, these days. I find I want to know more about Ian’s parents. Both were Irish. My Father was Irish , but perhaps a little younger. His family was troubled (but mostly silent) about the War of Independence. It was close to these peoples experiences and worth exploring in terms of the lyrics.

1. Walk on By 2. Hanging Around 3. No More Heroes 4. Nice 'n' Sleazy 5. Tank 6. The Man They Love to Hate 7. Four Horsemen 8. Golden Brown 9. Toiler on the Sea 10. European Female

Thanks for this; it was a real trip down memory lane, and I loved hearing some of Xray Spex's songs again. Poly's lyrics were great fun.

Wonderful interview! I hope KJG can continue finding meaning in the sea and making beautiful music. I really enjoyed Liar, Flower's 'Geiger Counter' album.

New song is very average compared to their earlier material.

<3

Thanks John, you are always exploring further with interesting people.

Just spotted this in my recently recovered record collection..... as brilliant as I remember :D

Recorded on a potato.

Great interview! Ill be getting the book soon mate, (had no idea!). John played for the song, he cd weave melodies or play one note.. brilliant musician.

Thank you for this excellent interview. Brian Bilston inspired me to continue writing & sharing my own poetry. I have all his books & would highly recommend them to everyone - they're so clever, original & funny. Great to hear & see the man behind the mask. 😊

Great interview and love the banter cmon ginger something big has to be on its way 🍻🍺🎂🎈😀😃😄

Talented guy and love the wildhearts with a undeniable passion but so fkin self destructive!! Sadly missed but we can live in hope😉😉😉😉😉😉🦆🥂🍰🎸☁️

John mate,love the channem+love your whole vibe but,as a mate,what the fuck happened with this,two of the most important people(musically&ideologically) in my life and it was a bit of a mess th,listen man,I've fucked up many a thing in my life so for me to get on my high horse about it would put me firmly in the full of shit camp,so all the best anyway mate.

Thanks for this John. 2 people I've admired since my teens. Am i the only one who couldn't hear it due to audio quality? Quite frustrating!

Xray Spex were different. They really had their own little subgenre and Lora was part of that.

15:52 what trouble is he talking about?

Her reputation grows with the years. When talking about x-ray spex though, you also need to credit Airport & Dean, and Lara Logic.

Is this the only jersey show they’ve ever played ?

Another Hooky gem interview. I could listen to the stories forever. Nice one John. ❤️

Why does it matter if the songs go on you tube before the album is out? It doesn't make a blind bit of difference in this day and age. People who want to buy the album will buy it and watch the you tube clips...

That's a great name for an album, the gate keeper

Miss you Poll x

Love the way it’s on mike Garry’s device

I loved the 80's £2a ticket . drink less than £1 a pint . government makes huge mistakes then we pay your bills go up food goes up no one can afford to go out the cost of a day out is a weeks wage .sad times .

great person ! My philosophy of life started with the jehovahs witness beliefs and New Model Army and coming from that in the 80s to now 2024 i think its insaine to think this is how we are ment to live and we are improving as the human race. I will shut up now ! go check my paintings !

Nadine Shah is hugely entertaining on many levels. Don't know if she would like more fame but she certainly deserves it

A real individual and a supreme spirit.

Just the expected pseudo intellectual, stoner, horse sh1t you hear around a campfire at Glastonbury.

great documentary. she was so strong and so powerful. thank you for all poly. Thank you.

It’s a really good book and very respectful to John and his legacy. Thank you Rory

Great this John. My daughters band DACARA has made it ot the final of Metal to the Masses Manchester 2024. Very much a fan of yours as I am.

Well done John ❤

He really was the real thing

What a lovely interview! I've been reading Jon since I was a schoolkid, he's a very intelligent and honest man. So nice to see the warmth between you both too

Nice one John!

the ticketing for larger venues is a criminal enterprise. And it's sh£t for seeing a band unless you're in the first 20 rows rattling your jewellery. Fk em, don't go to these bsht shows, boycott it. They are taking the piss.

I miss the Boardwalk, I once saw Radiohead there, they were 3rd on the bill and met by total apathy

Looking very cyber-handsome John

Cleaning up post/winter the raa add king of leaves and Stewart ZLee. My leg was removed by a lawn mower.

This is an amazing, nuanced interview.

What about the God Molecule n our DNA. Infinite and all at once existing in timelines which are in continual motion, every cause has an effect. We create our own realities for sure. I’ve tapped in and out of many existences and I came to this existence with many memories and, I have experienced too much that has proved undeniable.
