"Fisting for Compliments", 17th February 2005

The second in a series of six episodes of my old radio show Fisting for Compliments, and indeed the second time we transmitted to a large part of the Glasgow area on a real-life FM frequency.

Of note during this episode: more weird preamble from "Family Affair"'s odd competition feature; our improv cover of "Hey Joe"; a clean version of "Fuck the Border" by Propagandhi which, on reflection, kind of removes the point a little; the radio debut of Desert Island Dicks; me attempting to read the entire playlist phonetically backwards and misidentifying Jersey's WFMU as a New York station; a tantalising glimpse of Hyper Kinako; more broken equipment and on-air bickering and rubbish singing and unprofessionalism.

Also on this day: President George W. Bush names John Negroponte as the first national intelligence director; British Nuclear Fuels appear to lose enough plutonium to make seven nuclear bombs; the deaths of Irish actor Dan O'Herlihy and Argentinian footballer Omar Sívori.
