Winky and the Stain
by Winky and the Stain
Winky and the Stain like to play music; strange, obscure, experimental music; happy, dazzling, thrilling music; dark, scary, painful music. Winky and the Stain like to have a bit of a ramble, a bit of a chat; sometimes about the music, sometimes about nothing very much. Winky and the Stain like to eat cheese, drink wine, maybe fall asleep... If you like avant-garde, electronica, radiophonic, krautrock; if you like rave, techno, beats; if you like drone, noise, improv... Come and listen to Winky and the Stain.

Feet
If you've listened to the show before, you've probably heard Winky positing the idea of us standing up to do a podcast. I mean, that's all. That's his whole idea. That's what he brings to the enterprise. So anyway we're doing it. If anything it's to stop him having ideas. Dabrye - The Stand…

Comedy
We recorded this weeks ago and have been too busy to upload it. Because we have no respect for you, the listener. We think you’re a JOKE! Winky and the Stain herewith present a show about comedy, featuring no decent jokes and at a song which The Stain slightly regrets playing. He’s become a…

Aphex Twin Singalong
Mysterious, enigmatic, innovative genius… It’s Winky and the Stain! And this episode we’re indulging in a bit of hero worship as we linger over the music of Richard D James, a.k.a. Aphex Twin, a.k.a. whatever. Join us as we struggle to think of any famous twins, Winky tells lies, and the Stain is...

Weather
This morning Facebook told me that it was the start of summer. Outside it was pissing with rain. This seems as good a day as any to post Winky and the Stain musing on that very British preoccupation – the weather. Featuring Winky listing all the different types of weather, as a handy ready...
-
Danger
Careful! Oh, do be careful, Listener. Winky and the Stain are leading you into Danger. There’s risky (risqué?) opinions, assorted weapons and a precariously balanced glass bottle. And the Stain places his reputation in jeopardy by playing a couple of (whisper it) slightly mainstream tunes.…

Politics
Oh crikey, listener. We get in deep with our special guest, Lngdstncdrmmr on the thorny issue of politics. In fact, thank you particularly to our special guest for holding things together as Winky proved ignorant and the Stain became increasingly drunken and incomprehensible. Also, Winky reads us…

Light
A very tired Winky and the Stain stare blearily into the lights of oncoming cars. Actually, Producer Will did once stare straight into the sun and permanently damaged his eyesight. We don’t discuss that on the show. Perhaps we should have? Contact us on Facebook to complain. This is our show…

dark
Don’t be afraid, listener. It’s only the dark. And Winky and the Stain will be here to hold your hand and stroke your hair. Join us as we blindly grope our way through the midnight blackness. Winky does science, the Stain mocks him from a position of questionable authority. The usual really. RP…

Rural
Breathe it in, listener; the pure, clean air of the countryside. Horny handed son of the soil, Winky gets back to nature in this special Rural edition, where he happens across a kindly old farmer. We listen to a few discs on the farmer’s gramophone and share in his unspoiled country wisdom. Leon...

podmu-Master.mp3
Muuuuu! Muuuuu! We’d like to take you to Planet Mu. It’s their 20th Anniversary year, so we thought we’d better play loads of their tunes. You could call it an homage, except we’re too amateur for flattery to be meaningful. You could call it a celebration, except Winky has a bit of a moan in the...

JayetAlagain
Alright chaps, we’re back again. And we’ve got JayetAl in the studio (their studio) again. They Chose the music and everything! Discussing their new EP, politics and pissing in bottles. Also, complaints from you, the listener! Please feel free to send in your complaints about this and any other...

Time
What? Has it been this long? How time flies! Oh, Listener! We’re sorry to leave you alone so long. There’s life trauma and upheaval and all manner of to-do. But Winky and The Stain are back with you. And this time you know it’s for real. Come in and help us examine the nature of this thing we...

Death
It was always going to come, as it comes to us all. Is it a Death special, or is it a celebration of life? Winky and the Stain hold hands and wade together into the eternal river, to be nipped at by the crabs of doom. Be warned: there are actual serious discussions about mortality and stuff here,...

Sex
Oh my, this is embarrassing. Winky and the Stain don’t know where to put their faces while discussing the mature, adult theme of sex. Sexy sex. Filthy sexy sex. Sorry mother. Carry on. Funkadelic – I Wanna Know if it’s Good to You Palace Music – The Mountain Choir FKA Twigs – Two Weeks Actress –...

Myths
Hello listeners, sorry it’s been such a while. Winky and the Stain have been extraordinarily busy men for the last few weeks, but we promise to be back up to regular speed soon. In the meantime, here’s an episode we recorded back in the summer and held back for just such an idle moment. Special...

Computer
One zero zero one one one zero one zero zero zero That's the language of computers. And it's a language The Stain hopes to learn as he's joined in the studio by advanced human emotion simulator, The WinkyBot 3000. Join us in the digital future! Jackson and his Computer Band – Arp #1 Keith…

GhostWATS

The Sea
Join the Stain and an increasingly delirious Winky in narrowly avoiding a watery grave, as we set sail on the good ship WATS. Learn how to cope when cast adrift on the ocean wave with Winky's useful survivor's manual. We play some lovely tunes too... Mastodon – Deep Sea Creature Natural Snow...
-
Left/Right
On one hand this could be the greatest piece of broadcasting ever. On the other hand it could be two men labouring what is, at best, a weak comedy premise. Winky and the Stain discuss Winky’s crippling cack-handedness and the Stain’s disturbing authoritarian leanings, in their Left/Right special!...

Electricity
With Producer Will away, and The Stain feeling all lonely, we take a trudge up the grizzled hill to Winky's Laboratorium Electronicum*. Ground breaking science and discovery awaits the adventurous listener as we study biological enhancement, time travel and matter transference. *The emphasis is…

PodSupernormal-Master.mp3
We're out, on location this time. Producer Will has released us from his grimy hovel, out into the fields, to enjoy the quite beautiful festival of arts, noise and freedom that was Supernormal 2014. The Stain is on his rounds, being staggered by beauty, affronted by filth, and eroded by the...

Remixed!
Stinky and the Wain. See what’s happened there? The words and letters have got all mixed up. Why? Because it’s the Winky and the Stain remix show! We play some of our favourite remixes, and Winky does a really annoying thing for AGES. Doormouse – Skelechairs (Venetian Snares Mix) King Tubby –...

Plants
Plants. Without them we'd die. And it's with a sober reckoning of this weight that Winky and the Stain slash and burn a path into the forest of wisdom. Soom T – Puff That Weed Can – Mushroom My Bloody Valentine – Thorn Golden Teacher – Dante and Pilgrim Beastie Boys – Pass The Mic Autechre – The...

Field of Kemper
We snagged him! We got somebody actually good on for once! It's the the lovely (yet eerie!) Kemper Norton, star of all you fashionable mags and that. We talk about working with the uncanny, The Outer Church, goths and Luke Vibert. All the touchstones, basically. Meanwhile Winky shows us how he…

Bum Drakes
Winky and the Stain podcasts; I question their blackness. Where do they come from, those funky samples wot all the successful artists sample? You're an educated listener, so you probably know. But that's not going to stop us telling you. And playing the songs. And the tunes that sample them....

Winky and the Stain - OST
Popcorn and fizzy pop time. The magic of the silver screen. It's an audio-visual spectacular! No visuals though. It's an audio-visual spectacular without the visuals. Winky and the Stain are going to the pictures and they've got a date! They've both got the same date. I mean, they've got to pass...

Body Parts
Body parts! We've all got them. An unashamed flaunting of bits, as Winky and the Stain sing and laugh and fling away their garments. You're NOT WELCOME!

Cover Versions
Winky and the Stain undercover! Sometimes even the most talented entertainers run dry of ideas and are forced to fall back on repurposing the old, the hackneyed, the used-up. And so Winky and the Stain flounder about looking for new things to say about the art of the cover version. This kind of...

Spring Picnic
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...
