Jinx Lennon followed by How German Is It?

Irish Post Punk Folk Poet and Singer Jinx Lennon live in the studio. Second half of the programme is tentatively called How German Is It? (the title of a book by Walter Abish) and includes a cassette recording of Nazi propaganda broadcasts from the 1940s introduced by Captain Maurice Seddon who sent it to a German friend. Cole Porter’s song You’re the Tops is altered to include lines such as you’re a Stuka pilot and other less comical sentiments, a speech by the German/American Bund which becomes overrun by other Germanic sounds including Eisen by David Jackman, Schwiegerkeiten Beim Umschalten by Ror Wolf and some tracks by Einsturzende NeuBauten.
