“Would it be terribly posturing-fucking-pretentious-artist of me to ask for the silent p before the capital S in pStan to be added (even though you knew me back when I was plain Stan)? And to point out that the 'i' and 't' for 'in the' in the middle of 'Howl in the Typewriter' should be lower case? Fuck me, these bloody people! He'll be asking for a bowl of Smarties with all the green ones removed, next . . ." (pStan Batcow, 2nd August 2021)
pStan Batcow (it’s a silent ‘p’, apparently)... Pumf Records (you pronounce that one though)... Howl in the Typewriter (upper case H and T, lower case for ‘in’ and ‘the’)... gronk...

pSTAN BATCOW (Pumf Records)
I’ve known pStan since he was ‘young master Batpupcalf’, once separated by some 250 miles, but nowadays we’re virtually neighbours, as he lives in Blackpool. Which, as Keith Woodhouse so correctly pointed out, is on the Fylde Coast where we live. You may well recognise the name from our “Curiositas” album, he was responsible for “Jesus Has Risen (Let’s Mow The Lawn)!” He’s still in hiding from the provisional wing of the Sacred Heart Church Choir because of it. A rather unique individualist, pStan first released a MMATT tape on Pumf in 1992, it was called “Designer Brain Damage”. He wouldn’t just accept one of the ‘Flashbax’ series we produced especially for other labels, oh no, we had to do a bespoke job for HIM with HIS choice of tracks. But I digress, which is most unlike me. I thought I was over that now, it’s been nearly 30 years, but clearly I have more work to do with my therapist. To the present day, and Stan still runs Pumf, but it’s all CD’s now, no beautiful cassettes any more, and does the Godspunk compilation series, co-operatively financed by the participating artists. Well, we thought that was a great idea and worthy of support, so we put our money where our mouths were. And we began our revenge too; overran by 2 seconds and didn’t pay any extra, hah!
