136 - Garry Abbott - You'd Have To Go On A Nerds Quest

from Looks Unfamiliar · host Podnose

Looks Unfamiliar is a podcast in which writer and occasional broadcaster Tim Worthington talks to a guest about some of the things that they remember that nobody else ever seems to.Joining Tim this time is musician Garry Abbott, who's sending out a Bicarbonate Of Soda-fuelled message in a bottle in the hope of reaching anyone else who remembers Lovelife by Lush, Nerds, Challenger - The Adventure Machine, Matchbox Connectables, Kellogg's Corn Flakes Baking Soda-Powered Submarine and The Vibes And Livelee Mixtape. Along the way we'll be trying to decode a waterlogged baking soda-infused secret message with 'SECRET' written on it, finding out what happened when 'Les' left The Beatles, debating the politeness of actually turning up to a party you have been cordially invited to, exploring the commercial potential of Talking Sherbet and finally revealing why the key to global unity lies somewhere between Housing Data Analytics and Happy Hardcore.You can find more editions of Looks Unfamiliar at http://timworthington.org/. You can also find Garry on The Golden Age Of Children's TV talking about Button Moon here.If you enjoy Looks Unfamiliar, you can help to support the show by buying us a coffee here. Please do not get Vibes and/or Livelee to read out the Serving Suggestion.
