We're listening to Nick at the Exammit Music Podcast about songs and songwriters.

My name is Mark Linton-Mire.

My guest for episode 199 is Alan Jenkins.

A singer-songwriter guitarist who's recorded over 50 albums for his Cordelia Records label.

He started in the late 70s in Leicester, England with the Deep Freeze Mice.

You're right now hearing a red light from the Greens from their 1982 album The Gates of Lunch.

After a decade with that band, he was in the Chrysanthemums, Ruth's refrigerator, the creams,

and in the year 2000, shifted his focus to instrumental, experimental surf music

with The Thirst in LavaTube.

For about a decade, he released the first album under his own name in 2011,

and typically records now as Alan Jenkins and the Kettering Vampires.

Today we'll talk about the multi-bear from his latest B-My Enemy 1-pound,

then look all the way back to Hitler's Knees from the Deep Freeze Mice from Saw a Ranch House of Burning Last Night in 1983,

then back near the present to the Morizovo Media right by his current experimental surf project

of the Melamine Division Plates from their album Novosibirsk from the beginning of this year,

then we'll look at the 90s with The Eagle Hates Your Poetry by Alan Jenkins and the Creams

from their 1994 album i.e., we conclude by listening to Nobody's Getting My Hair by the Chrysanthemums

from their reunion album 2022's Decoy for a Dognapper.
