Chemikal Underground Podsketch™ #8 - Notes  ‘Domestiques’ Special (Part 1)

The first instalment of a two-part series finds Alun, Emma and Stewart talking about titty bars, morphine hallucinations and urine-inducing onstage laughter. You have been warned...

You were listening to Stewart Henderson, Alun Woodward and Emma Pollock from Chemikal Underground.

The Podsketch #5

Mon, 11 May 2009 16:23:13 -0700

The Chemikal Podsketch™ reaches its landmark fifth episode and, in doing so, trawls new depths of ribald lewdness and scales still loftier peaks of casual profanity. Martin Henry from De Rosa finally guests with two exclusive acoustic tracks, sandwiched in between slabs of rudderless conversational inanity – a format we can only hope you have grown to love. Points of order this time include: Thelma from Scooby Doo; Didier Drogba; hills that look like breasts and elephants that lay eggs.

The Chemikal Podsketch surpasses The Godfaher trilogy with this, our fourth exercise in podcasting whimsy. Denied the presence of De Rosa due to their being seconded on tour with Doves, Alun and Stewart discuss Chemikal's recently completed Aereogramme boxset; motorway service station toilets, luckless terrorists, Jean-Paul Sartre; De Rosa competitions and the trouble with vinyl...

Size, if the optimists among us are to be believed, is not everything. So in an attempt to alleviate the chronic brain-ache of podcast listeners with short attention spans or, more diplomatically, those who don’t have as much time on their hands as we do, here is our third Pod Sketch™: trimmed down to an easily digestible 10 minutes and featuring the following...

•   Chat by Chemikal Underground’s Stewart Henderson and Alun Woodward.
•   Exclusive preview of ‘Even Jesus Couldn’t Love You’ by Lord Cut Glass.
•   Exclusive acoustic version of ‘Monster Face’ by Lord Cut Glass.
•   Lord Cut Glass also happens to be Alun Woodward from Chemikal Underground – he’s also Lord Cut Glass.
•   Stewart Henderson is not Lord Cut Glass but does run Chemikal Underground with Alun Woodward who is, in fact, Lord Cut Glass.
•   Who’s on first?

Track Listing
1.   “Even Jesus Couldn’t Love You” by Lord Cut Glass.
2.   “Monster Face” (Acoustic Version) by Lord Cut Glass.

The Podsketch #1

Wed, 28 Jan 2009 17:34:00 -0800

Clawing furrows into the shag pile of the space/time continuum, Chemikal Underground is dragged, kicking and screaming, into the early 21st century to satiate the appetite of an internet-obsessed populace for downloadable audio. Not to imply that this Pod Sketch™ is a public service provision mind you: essentially it’s two guys from Glasgow talking pish and playing music – which is fine, because everyone talks pish and plays music - we just happen to be recording it, which explains the nervous laughter and fusillade of ums, emms, ‘likes’ and arrhs...

•   This Pod Sketch™ was brought to you by Chemikal Underground’s Alun Woodward and Stewart Henderson from Glasgow’s leafy east end hamlet of Bridgeton.
•   Its special guest star was Aidan Moffat.
•   Paul Savage has never sung in his life. Ever. Even as a child. His level of self-consciousness is such that if anyone were to try and goad him into singing he would probably lash out in fear and anger.
•   This Pod Sketch™ will get better. Much better. You’re bearing witness to the birth of history.
