See articles for 2 major new features by journalist, and major PiL fan, Greg Whitfield.

'Bass Cultural Vibrations: Visionaries, Outlaws, Mystics and Chanters'
This is a very in-depth article, covering not just PiL, but the whole Post-Punk / Avant-Garde / Dub scene. In this extensive and highly detailed article Greg covers the origins of the Dub/Punk crossover from Jamaica to London. PiL and their entourage feature heavily throughout. Along with the likes of Jah Shaka, Adrian Sherwood and Lee Perry, bringing the story up to date with London's Disciples and More Rockers.

The whole article comes from a fresh perspective, not simply retreading the usual bollocks. For example, among the 'PiL' subjects covered are John's trip to Jamaica, The Steel Leg EP, and the often ignored PiL / On-U-Sound crossover, I'm sure all PiL/Dub fans will love it!

The article has just been published at the on-line '3AM Magazine'. Check it out here. However, the Fodderstompf version is far more in-depth, including many extra points on PiL. Kindly added by Greg exclusively for us...

Greg's second article is a new Don Letts interview. Again, not solely focussing on PiL. Greg discuses Don's career from the pre-Roxy days, through punk (including the Pistols, Lydon & PiL), up to his present day film and DJ work. Although Don has done plenty of interviews in the past regarding punk, and especially The Clash, this interview concentrates more on the man himself, and his love for reggae, and what it means to be 'Black British'.

Greg Whitfield is currently engaged in researching and writing a book on the avant garde/sound system and bass culture, which has been emerging out of London over the last twenty-five years up until the present time. Watch this space for updates...

FINALLY added, exclusive Interview with 1983 Cabaret band keyboard player Tom Zvoncheck.

Ok, you've heard it all before, the Keith Levene interview... I'm redoing the interview with Keith soon. The last one was so disjointed, all we did was sit and chat, and listen to his stuff. It was very difficult to type up, then I got involved in all the Sex Pistols stuff, and Keith got caught up in his EP. It's just a case of me and Keith getting the time to do it, we're both all over the place at the moment, but there are plans to get it together very soon, honest!

Ever wanted to ask original PiL drummer Jim Walker a question? Well, now you can...
Jim has set up a special e-mail address for people to get in touch. With the exception of our recent Fodderstompf interview, Jim has remained very elusive over the years, here's your chance to contact him while you can. This is a very genuine, probably one-off, chance not to be missed. Contact him at; publicimagejim@aol.com

Info via Happy Squid Records on Keith Levene's input on the abandoned Radwaste 'Project Jolt' album...
Thanks to Karsten & John at Happy Squid Records!

Keith produced the backing tracks for this record, during a difficult period for the band. The project was set aside for a year, then completed by Vitus Matare, (Keith had moved back to London at this point) who had engineered the backing tracks. By the time the record had been finished, the band had reformed with different personnel and Happy Squid didn't have the resources to issue it. We may indeed release it as a limited-edition item someday, perhaps a CD-R.

 

Additional info on the recording of Keith Levene's 2011 EP added to Levene discography

Various tinkering with the PiL Chronology has started. Keep checking back....

Chronology (finally!) Updated

We're no longer stuck in 1985! The PiL Chronology has been updated and runs from 1978-2001. The chronology will be under constant reconstruction. It's an ongoing project, it'll probably never be complete the way we want it, but rather than holding it back till we are eventually happy with it, we have decided to put it on-line and continually tinker with it. More information, dates, links, and pictures (etc) will be added over a period of time...

If you spot any mistakes or have any additions please contact us!

To save pointless repetition many of the live dates have not been included, you will find them all at the Gig List. Only gigs deemed to be important, or eventful, have made the chronology. Same goes for information on PiL records. Only a minimal amount of information has been included on all releases. Full information can be found at the Discography.

The majority of the chronology was put together by Karsten Roekens & Scott M. However, much of the old chronology started by M & Dave K survives. We gratefully thank everyone who has contributed.

Karsten Roekens has taken over the running of Radio Fodderstompf. He has already updated the playlist. From now on Radio Fodderstompf will be PiL and related only...

As well as hopefully bringing PiL to a new audience Radio Fodderstompf is meant as a companion to the previously released PiL records, by fans for fans... You won't just find the normal studio versions - you can go BUY them later if you like these tracks. At Radio Fodderstompf you'll find a wide range of PiL and related tunes. Stuff you won't find anywhere else.

Lost Studio Tracks
Unreleased Live Tracks
Rare Remixes & B-sides
Obscure Solo Material - you name it!

Radio Fodderstompf spotlights the huge diversity of PiL, and their many offshoots. How many other bands could get away with a whole radio station dedicated to them? You'd be bored in half an hour. Hardly anything, if anything, broadcast here sounds remotely the same...

The FREE on-line internet station is hosted by Radio 365, and ran by our own Karsten Roekens 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  It's easy to use, and is well worth checking out on a regular basis.

The current playlist is listed below, if you have any requests e-mail us. Tracks are played in random order...

PiL
Bad Life
(Commercial Zone)
This is Not a Love Song (CZ)
Solitaire (CZ)
Bad Night (short version) (CZ Ltd Edition)
Bad Night (long version) (CZ)
The Slab (CZ)
Lou Reed part 1 (CZ)
Lou Reed part 2 - Where Are You?
(CZ)
Blue Water (CZ)
Miller High Life (CZ)
This is Not a Love Song (single mix)

Steel Leg EP

Steel Leg
Stratetime and the Wide Man
Haile Unlikely by The Electric Dread
Unlikely Pub

Jah Wobble
Betrayal
(extended mix)

More added soon, keep checking back...

A HELP page has now been added to the Radio Fodderstompf page.

We wouldn't waste the effort on entertainment...
