A special pro-rogue edition of Music for Films, the underground film podcast, kept in reserve for times of national emergency. Roz and Tim showcase their field recordings of London streets and locations, from some of the holy places of cinema and pop culture: Bowie's birthplace in Stockwell, Roz's memories of serial killer Dennis Nilson, and Angela Carter's favourite cinema, the Grenada in Tooting.

1 hour 43 min podcast version. Not safe for work. Contains some swearing and adult themes. Interesting people talk about the music, films and music for films which have shaped their lives. Roz Kaveney, Tim Concannon and their guest Andrew Smith wander down busy Caledonian Road in North London, to Housmans peace bookshop near to Kings Cross station. They discuss two linked technologies produced by the atomic age, computers and nuclear arms, and the ways that the peace movement and radicalism have responded to both being part of modern armed conflict. The starting point for the conversation is Pete Watkins’s 1965 film for the BBC, banned from broadcast at the time, ‘The War Game‘. Made two decades before ‘Threads‘ and Raymond Briggs’s ‘Where the Wind Blows‘, Pete Watkins’s film is a documentary-style depiction of Britain under nuclear attack. It was withdrawn before transmission by the BBC under government pressure, but went on to win an Oscar for Best Documentary. Caledonian Road is notable for two things: its longstanding Irish community and Housmans Bookshop, opened in 1959 and named after Laurence Houseman the gay, pacifist playwright who suggested the Peace Pledge Union establish a permanent base in 1948. As well as publishing Peace News, it became a focus of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament . The two worlds converged in 1974 when an IRA bomb blew up the pillar box outside the shop. The explosion incinerated all the copies of Campaign Against Arms Trade’s first newsletter.

Roz and Tim also revisit a 2016 stroll from the Cinema Museum to one of Chaplin's childhood homes in Kennington, and a 2012 walk round a corner of Greenwich Village, New York and the magic space where revolutionaries in jazz, the rights of man, and the rights of the LGBT community worldwide, all cross paths.

1 hour version, first broadcast 5pm, 21st November 2016 on Resonance FM in London. Every month, interesting people talk about the music, films and music for films which have shaped their lives. In November, Roz and Tim revisit the locations of 1970s 'Nightbirds' on Commercial Street, Whitechapel, in East London. Made by gay American underground playwright, costumiere, screenwriter, actor, film producer, editor and director Andy Milligan, the horror critic Stephen King described another of Milligan's films as "the work of morons with cameras." An erotic drama filmed in black and white, 'Nightbirds' is about two young people who meet by chance and fall into like and into bed with one another, played by Julie Shaw in her only screen role and Berwick Kaler (now one of North England's leading panto dames). 'Nightbirds' depicts a vanished London of grubby lofts and peeling paint. Bringing a queer eye to a destructive straight liaison, Milligan's film is a meditation on the abject, the wretched but - unusually for underground cinema of the period, dominated by the likes of Kenneth Anger - in the heterosexual rather than LGBT realm. Unscreened at the time that it was completed, the only print of it was bought by Nicolas ('The Neon Demon') Winding Refn on eBay for $25,000, who worked with the BFI to restore it for DVD release. Critic and author Kim Newman discusses this and Milligan's other exploitation films made in England with us, and BFI's Vic Pratt and Will Fowler chat about BFI's Flipside DVD title.
