Oh blimey. In this episode, brothers Steve and Giles tumble recklessly into a retro-void. They roll around with joyful abandon in a garden of lo-fi delights... and gorge themselves silly on the ripe fruits of nostalgia and creativity. Including a candidate for "The Eternal Halls Of The Four Track Gods" and a brand new "Childhood Themed" recording. It's really fantastic. You know it is, it really is. Featuring:

Leisure, relaxation, mindfulness. All are part of the This Are Johnny Domino lifestyle brand and available for you to experience as you listen to this episode. In it, brothers Steve and Giles share musical musings on a rainy Sunday morning. As well as dusting off some of their own early bedroom recordings and other crazy nonsense there's a new song from Simon G Richardson. Including:
Giles’ Lyrics: I was at Wollaton Park So I had to do something to relax I went to the toilet And as I circulated back So I had to do something to relax They recognised me But then I met them later Related audiovisual material is available on the This Are Johnny Domino blog | |||
| All Them Trimmings - Part 2 | 23 May 2024 | 00:59:13 | |
Who would have thought it possible? That a random set of lyrics, found by a pair of young music nerds in a “how to be a rock star” book would eventually spark a middle-aged creative renaissance. And that this in turn would lead to the establishment of a post-apocalyptic cult that would ultimately save the world? Some of the above is true. In this episode, Giles and Steve listen to more versions of the song we’re calling ”All Them Trimmings” and have a jolly good time doing it. Featuring their own interpretation, alongside valid contributions from MJ Hibbett and Frankie Machine. It’s not too late to record your own version!

Steve and Giles dig into more dusty old recordings and rediscover their version of the American Dream. Has any of that youthfully romantic vision of the good ol' US of A survived into their cynical middle age? We'll have to see. Including:

| All Them Trimmings - Part 1 | 25 Apr 2024 | 00:52:13 | |
Back in the olden days, brothers Giles and Steve took inspiration and knowledge from a sacred text. That text was the (now out of print) book “Rock Talk” by Julian Colbeck. Within its hallowed pages were the lyrics to a song with no title, a song they could only imagine. Until now. In this episode the Domino boys listen to a selection of newly recorded versions of that very song! Will they they push it too far? Or throw it all away? Or could they discover new levels of poignancy and truth in the lyrics, with the help of their talented friends? [Verse] Searching for time that just is not there. Does it always have to take this long? You said don’t push it too far, just let it fade away. But I felt I had to do something before we threw it all away. [Chorus] Just a dash of creativity that's all it needed. Creativity with all of them trimmings that come with love. [Verse] So take heed, before you jump that gun settle your conscience. Can't you see what I see? Girl, are you blind to the ways of the lovin' man? You need. . .

| Cover Versions Special! | 07 Mar 2024 | 01:01:54 | |
It’s a Cover Versions Special! Good lord, what is happening? Can you believe your eyes? It’s quite literally a special episode where we talk about cover versions! This is madness! But not the band Madness. Why do we do cover versions? Are they ever better than the original? What band did the best cover versions? What would be a wise song to cover now? All of these questions and more may be ignored as we listen to a bunch of cover versions that we recorded. Songs originally made famous by artists including Neil Diamond, The Ramones and Bryan Adams. This episode also contains what we call an Engagement Opportunity. Which you could ignore if you like, but quite honestly it’ll make you a more interesting person if you take part. Related video material is available on the This Are Johnny Domino blog Your listening experience will be enhanced by hearing, in full, the original versions of the songs featured in the show, which you can find in your favourite record shop or online platform.

It’s a Space and Sci-Fi special! Brothers Steve and Giles embark on a journey to the furthest reaches of their musical galaxy and discuss three songs from the Johnny Domino back catalogue with a vaguely Spacey theme, just for a bit of fun. Unfortunately, Giles is most definitely wearing his "grumpy pants", which as you will hear threatens to endanger the entire mission. Will brotherly banter and music save the day? You'll have to listen and find out! Conflicts which may or may not be resolved in this episode include:

In this very special episode of the podcast Steve and Giles take a look back on the tracks chosen in the past 17 episodes to create a purely theoretical (for the moment) "Best of…" compilation tape! Hear the JD creative process in action as they formulate the ultimate track sequence and consider some alternative takes. There's laughter and tears along the way as the brothers discuss musical near-misses and regrettable artistic choices as well as the odd thing that went quite well.

The brothers Woodward take more time out to craft another slice of Lo-Fi glory. Firstly there's a new candidate for The Eternal Hall of the Four Track Gods. Will it have what it takes to achieve immortality (and win a t-shirt)? Then Steve and Giles put together a "head to head" of quirky nonsense from their back catalogue. To be honest, both selections contain "questionable" lyrical sentiments, but will their musical charms be enough to earn them a spot on the "Best of…" compilation tape? We’ll have to see… Key features of this episode include:

Hello, I’m a podcast episode and I’m here to tell you that I am as entertaining as the preceding episodes of This Are Johnny Domino - if not more so! In all honesty, I feel that I have the punchy dynamism and vitality that makes me stand out from the rest of the pack… Giles and Stephen certainly had a great time filling me with the usual good-humoured banter and rambling conversation about music that you’ve never heard. Will you agree with them about which song should make it onto the "Best of…" compilation? Other features you’re sure to enjoy about me are:

Bill Hicks once said "It’s just a ride", and in this episode we take you on a spin 'round our teenage dreams, hurtling down the Cobain slopes into the hairpin bend of 90s bohemia. Put more plainly, brothers Giles and Steve have more fun unearthing trash and treasure from their C90 mountain and it's all quite enjoyable. This one includes:

Come along for the ride as the two brothers uncover more missed opportunities and blind alleys in the cause of showing you How Not To Succeed At Music.* (* While at the same time finding ‘success’ in a different sense and in other unexpected ways) Also including:

They say that time is a great healer, but sometimes discovering evidence of past attitudes and opinions in recordings made 30 years ago can be painful! Listen as Giles and Steve 'figure it out' and come up with further revisionist histories of their lo-fi recording career. This week the brothers rediscover songs ranging from acoustic 'punk' to straight-up indie pop - but which song will make it onto the purely theoretical 'best of' compilation tape? Also including:

It’s the 30-year anniversary of our adoption of the name Johnny Domino, so to mark the occasion Steve heads to Ilkeston to record his part of this episode in the very room where it all started all those years ago. Just to completely dispel any possible sense of jeopardy over the song choice for the "Best of" mix tape, the first track today sets out our Lo-Fi agenda right from the get-go. The second painfully destroys any possible conception that this podcast is ‘self-congratulatory’. The third track gets on the mix tape. Also including:

Did we actually record this episode? Or was it perhaps made by an AI? You’ll have to give it a listen and see what you think. If you do, you’ll find us in our usual mode, listening to our old tunes and rambling on about Lo-Fi influences, 70s Kung Fu, and Rave culture. The tracks are varied, but will any of them have what it takes to make it onto the ‘Best of Johnny Domino’ mixtape? Also including:

| The Tape: Volume 2 | 29 Aug 2024 | 00:48:51 | |
When we started this podcast, we thought we could spend time discussing old four-track recordings and maybe come up with a "purely theoretical" compilation tape of our favourite tunes. Ignoring the voices in our heads saying it was pointless and impossibly niche, we took our first faltering steps on the journey… Incredibly, here we are with the second volume of our mix tape including tracks selected over the last fourteen episodes. We discuss the track listing, hear some alternate takes and digress in the usual fashion. As is customary, it's pointless and impossibly niche. This episode includes, amongst other things:

This week the brothers Woodward find a more upbeat and ‘danceable’ selection of tunes from their mountain of old four-track recordings. The question is, will the good vibes evaporate when Steve calls Giles’ keyboard part 'moronic'? Also including:

Which approach to making music will stand up to the test of time? Also including:

If you hanker for the early 90s and the halcyon days of lo-fi alternative music, recorded on crappy equipment in a home environment, you should listen to This Are Johnny Domino. Giles and Steve Woodward began recording songs under the name Johnny Domino in the summer of 1993. Over the next 3-4 years they recorded over 100 songs on a 4-track tape recorder, drafting in other players on an ad-hoc basis. In this new podcast, the now middle-aged men reminisce about songs they recorded up to 30 years ago. Songs that only a small handful of people have heard. In some cases, songs that they can't remember writing or recording! If you're the kind of person who will watch a documentary about a band or a musician that you are indifferent to, or who enjoys arguing about music as if it's the most important thing in the world (because, deep down, you believe that it is), listen to This Are Johnny Domino. | |||

…Everybody talk about pop music - as the song goes. In this episode of the podcast, the Woodward brothers talk about their very own version of pop music, which unfortunately doesn’t seem to be all that popular. As usual, there are tunes to consider, prompting amusing memories of 1990s lo-fi fun. This episode features:

What does it all mean? A clunky set of lyrics, found in an out-of-print book. It didn’t sound that promising as a starting point. But interpretations were made, songs were written, significance found. But what does it all mean? Giles and Steve discover more incredible versions of the song they called All Them Trimmings and reach a thrilling conclusion to the whole saga.

Luckily for everyone involved, after a short period of reflection, they decide to carry on with business as usual.

There are atmospheric vibes from the "miserable" album and a rough-hewn demo inspired by a bunch of fleshy muppets.
