Author, columnist and inventor of the Ramones alarm clock, Tom Hodgkinson has a brilliant theory involving Never Mind The Bollocks and ancient Greek philosophy. He holds forth on a range of extremely entertaining subjects, among them his parents’ riotous parties, interviewing BowWowWow when he was 12, pretentious NME headlines, the genius of Neil Innes and the Inkspots, how to play hardcore punk (and life in “the world’s poshest punk band”), working in a Rough Trade shop, carrying record sleeves to impress girls, Mike Love in a turban and the crushing disappointment of discovering John Peel had sprouted a ponytail.
