Fifty Years of Fun

Yes, it's been a long while! Remember when fanzines would come out a year late? Well here we are. If you've been wondering what happened, we have NOT retired. We just got held up on a few episodes and then took a break! While we get back on track, we're posting a Patreon-only episode, from a release on Joe Foster's Creation-adjacent Kaleidoscope Sound label. In the future we plan on doing more non-Creation releases here and we're going to test out doing our regular releases out of order to keep things going smoothly. As always, special thanks to The Reds, Pinks & Purples for our theme music.

It’s been a VERYYYYYYY long wait, but we swear this one is worth it. Your humbled hosts are back from the dead with our first repeat guest, with an incredibly fun interview, in what we believe to be our most entertaining episode!  Links: Destroys the Blues: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhsnRWQqzY8 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhsnRWQqzY8] Toy Dolls video” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9m7tPikH0UA [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9m7tPikH0UA] Stuff we talk about: A Witness John Robb Membranes The Legend!

** Fifty Years of Fun’s Patreon page: patreon.com/fiftyyearsoffun [//patreon.com/fiftyyearsoffun] ** It’s a huge one!! Maybe the first CLASSIC single on Creation, and boy are we excited about it. It’s worth the wait! Did you doubt us? I bet you did! Moves, technical problems, floods! Shit happens, as one says. At the end of the episode, you’ll hear how Pete Astor’s flat flooded and we had to put off the interview (but it’s mainly our fault!) And, we apologize but Matt’s mic is fucked up in the first segment. But we did it! 80s glam metal tragedies get coverage!

** Fifty Years of Fun’s Patreon page: patreon.com/fiftyyearsoffun [//patreon.com/fiftyyearsoffun] ** Holy shit we are back once again. We have careers, ok?? It's our double issue! This ep we are trying MULTIPLE new things. We have someone chatting with us in the first half (Simon Down’s number is on the back of this single so we had to talk to him!), and THEN we have TWO band members at the same time which is a new one for us. This really got our podcast editing knuckles a-crackin’! This really is the ultimate ep for any Minks fans out there—we get DEEP and DIRTY into some seriously nerdy shit. You will love it. We are proud of this one and it’s seriously fun if you like the deep details.
