Sun, 21 January 2007 The lads are back in the studio this week for a bumper helping of good ol' drunken incoherent rambling - just like the old days, eh? Kicking off with peaty whiskeys from the Isle of Islay, talk then meanders past the late quiz show host and Icelandic scholar Magnus Magnusson, an attack of the winter collywobbles, and islands of various descriptions before Andy confesses that he is a nerdy computer wargamer, and how he recently got into hot water on a gaming forum in which he dared espouse the notion of freedom of speech for all. Next, a comparative review of both recent Clint Eastwood war movies 'Flags of Our Fathers' and its Japanese-language counterpart 'Letters From Iwo Jima', before the musical break looms with another original composition from Andy's band STAVKA (www.ardle.net/stavkahome.htm), this time the track 'Leper Aesthetic'. Finally, Andy returns to his long-forgotten series 'History as I See It' and tells of the pivotal but largely unknown conflict between Japan and the Soviet Union in Mongolia in 1939 which had drastic repercussions on the outcome of World War II. On the way, of course, Dave sidetracks it all into a confused and largely misinformed discussion concerning the Roman emperor Constantine. Yeah, like I said, vintage A-Bomb City! abombcity@gmail.com www.abombcity.com www.hirohurl.net www.ardle.net www.myspace.com/abombcity Comments[1032] |
