I've
decided to redo the new reviews
section and split it into two
separate sections. There will be
one section devoted to reviews,
and the other devoted to original
articles
and Fodderstompf features. The sections
have now been updated with the most
of the F&F PiL archives, there's
still more to come...
I've
also added a selection of music
press reviews & interviews to
the Press
Archives section.
There's
been quite a bit of tinkering going
on throughout the site, with new
pix added to certain sections, and
general tidying up of others....
16th October 2001
I've
added a new section to the
main site featuring Fodderstompf
reviews
and articles. At the moment
it's still pretty bare, but I'll
start by adding the old F&F
PiL archives over the next week,
then as new PiL related books &
records etc get released I can add
them to the site. Feel free to send
in your own point of view...

I've
now added and updated the Jah
Wobble discography that myself
and Patrick MacArdle originally
did for 30 Hertz. I've actually
added a complete solo
discography section to the site.
However, for the time being only
Wobble & Levene are ready. Over
the next few weeks I'll add Lydon,
as well as sections on PiL collaborations
such as The Damage Manual &
The Steel Leg...
I've
tried to illustrate the Wobble discography
with as many sleeves as possible,
but I am missing quite a few, especially
the older 7" & 12"
singles. If you can help by sending
in any scans, or point me
in the right direction, it would
be much appreciated.
There are quite a few details I
don't have so It'd be cool if some
of you could give the Wobble discography
a once over, in case I've missed
anything obvious or there are any
glaring errors. MANY THANKS!

October
6th 2001
We've
added a Keith Levene solo
discography to the discography
section. Myself and Karsten have
collaborated on it, and we're confident
that it's the most complete Levene
discography that's ever been printed
(not that there's that much of it!).
The discography also reveals more
details of the previously mentioned
'Hollywood Vice Squad' movie. It
turns out that '2011' was basically
written directly for the movie.
John
Lydon & Jah Wobble discographies
coming soon...
Pix
and gig ticket added to the Aylesbury,
Friars Club 19.11.83 gig

To
my shame I'd actually forgotten
all about it, but I asked Alan
McGee of Creation / Poptones
fame for a quote about PiL
when I was re-launching the site.
Which kindly enough he did, back
in March! (oops). Anyway,
I've finaly put it up in full on
the interviews
page, check it out... THANKS Alan,
sorry about that!
As Alan says, "Public Image,
respect soon has to be paid..."
The
Chicago 1.5.80 gig was actually
at the Riviera Theater. Check
out the gigs
section to see the ticket from the
show.

Our interview with original
PiL drummer Jim Walker by
Karsten Roekens is on-line now.
Jim
talks about how he joined the band,
reveals details of unreleased material,
and charts the events leading up
to his departure. Jim
doesn't pull any punches and the
interview features countless information
never printed elsewhere. Click here
to check it out...
After
reading the interview I've updated
the 'Public Image' and
'Flowers of Romance'
7"
entries in the discography,
as well as updating Jim's biography.
I've
also tinkered with the Keith
Levene biography to include
info about his contributions to
the score of the 1986 film 'Hollywood
Vice Squad'. Thanks to Karsten
Roekens for unearthing the info.

Finally
a proper update!
I've
put up the first part of the
illustrated discography. So
far I've only had a chance to do
the 7"
singles section. I hope to add
more sections soon. Rather than
just trainspottery facts I've tried
to make the discography as interesting
as possible, see what you think...
I will eventually add links to promos
and imports of the singles, but
for the time being I want to crack
on with the standard UK discography.
Also,
a real exclusive... A review
and interview from PiL's first
ever gig at Brussels,
Theatre 140, Belgium. Originally
from the Dutch 'Muziekkrant
OOR'
magazine (Amsterdam) January 1979.

by
KARSTEN ROEKENS, with thanks

I’ve been tied down with other

being ok...
New
Message Boards - I finally got it
to work! So it’s bye to the
old ‘message bored’. Which
was only ever meant to temporary
anyway. As you’ll see the new
board is split into three. One for
PiL, one for F&F and one for
the site.
You DON’T HAVE TO REGISTER
to post, but at least that way you’ll
be spared the banner ads!
Incidentally, the new boards also
allow chat...

I've
added M's updated biography
of John Lydon to the PiL
People section. Also added is M's
Fodderstompf interview
with PiL bassist Pete Jones.
Which will go hand in hand with
the F&F13 interview already
on the site. The 'About Us'page
has been updated and now also features
a link to the history of the original
site and M's good-byeee...
The
eagle-eyed among you will have noticed
I'm still tweaking the site here
and there, and I've made the discography
a little easier to navigate. I've
not been able to spend as much time
on the site as I'd liked, but I
am plugging away, when possible,
with the third level of the discography,
which hopefully some of which will
be ready soon...

What
should have been a 'little tinkering'
with the site has turned into a
complete overhaul. As you'll see
I've had to change the main pages.
I couldn't fix the problem with
the white box the way I liked, so
I've decided to re-design a little.
I'm actually a bit pissed off because
I prefer the original design. However,
it was gonna be too much hassle,
so it's gone. Basically I'll keep
'tinkering' with it till I'm happy,
who knows how long that will take!
I've
also added a links section. I say
'added', it was actually always
there, I just hadn't put any links
to it in the pull down menu - Doh!
Hopefully over the next few days
I get the chance to do some proper
work on the site, as opposed to
pissing about with stuff I've already
'done'...
If
you notice any problems with your
browser, let me know...
10th
July 2001
I've
not really had much time for any
major updates yet. However, it looks
like there's a few little glitches
with the site. Some browser's are
displaying the text, and the top
headings / artwork, way off the
page. If that's what you see, mail
me and let me know. If you spot
anything else PLEASE let me know,
cheers! The site should be
best viewed 600x800, via Explorer
4 or above...
I
should be able to get on with adding
new stuff to the site when I get
all the teething problems fixed...
7th
July 2001
A
week late - not too bad! The delay
was mostly down to the change of
servers, but going out on the piss,
work, and even a severe electrical
storm haven't helped. Anyway, at
long last, we have the new
Fodderstompf site...
In true PiL fashion, much later
than planned and with half the originally
intended ideas!
The
site features all the old
Fodderstompf stuff, plus...
Updated discographies
Exclusive interviews
An extended PiL people section featuring
EVERY member!
Complete lyrics for every PiL song
A trade & classified page
PiL rarities / memorabilia guide
Video & cassette bootleg guide
A regularly updated news page
Some
of the features and articles have
been lifted straight from the F&F
fanzine and are pretty bare, but
this is only early days, much more
will be added... You'll also notice
there is not an images section.
Instead, the plan is to include
images as part of the individual
pages, hopefully using some of the
rarer or more interesting ones.
The
site is by no means finished,
I've still a lot of tinkering to
do. I plan to add much, much more
over the coming months, but it will
take time. The first priorities
are to finish the Chronology, and
the Discography (which currently
has no pix, anyone got a loan of
a digital camera!). After that I
will start adding new features,
and a lot more images, as well as
a few new exclusive interviews with
some ex-PiLer's. Rather than shoot
my mouth off about all my plans,
and be left with typical PiL style
egg-on-the-face, I'll leave them
till they are a reality, keep checking
back here for updates.
I'm
relatively new to this web site
design malarkey, so I've tried to
keep the pages simple. As time goes
on the site will develop. However,
I'm quite happy with it for now.
It also goes without saying, if
you notice any faults on
the site, or want to contribute
please get in touch!
To
take you through some of the technical
changes on the site...
1. The temporary home
page will no longer work (see
below).
2. The www.fodderstompf.com
splash page is pretty bare,
unfortunately there is nothing we
can do about this for the time being,
best thing is to bookmark
the new home
page.
3. We had trouble moving
over the old Fodderstompf message
board, so for the time being
at least, I will be using the old
F&F board. Which is ironic because
the original plan was bin the F&F
board, and incorporate it into
the Fodderstompf board...
4.
I’ve had to move the ‘First
Issue’ mailing list
over to Yahoo Groups. Despite being
part of Groups ‘First Issue’
will remain a newsletter... Nothing
has really changed. If you were
already subscribed but haven’t
received anything lately, or want
to sign up, you can subscribe
below...
Fodderstompf-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
Lastly
BIG thanks to M, you will be missed...
23rd
June 2001
Over
the next few days the PiL ‘Fodderstompf’
site will be down as we move
server. However we will be back.
When the site goes back up (hopefully
in a couple of days) there will
only be a temporary News
/ Site Updates page, with the revamped
site being relaunched in early July.
The temporary home page is
now at:
http://www.thefilthandthefury.co.uk/fodhome.html
Although originally planned as a
'merger' between F&F and Fodderstompf,
M has now left the ‘company’,
and therefor I will be doing the
site myself. This has put me a little
behind schedule, but you’ll
be used to that anyway!
The only comment I have about M
leaving is that “There are
a lot of weak people in the world”.
Only kidding, it’s perfectly
amicable split, honest...
For the re-launch, scheduled
July 1st, the plan is to move
some of the original site onto the
new server, along with what little
new stuff I’ve managed to do. Once ALL that is done I will keep
adding and tinkering with the site.
I haven’t done half the stuff
I wanted to so far, it’s very
much an ongoing saga.
You may have already received notice,
but with Fodderstompf having to
move over to a new server I’ve
had to move the ‘First Issue’
mailing list over to Yahoo Groups.
Despite being part of Groups ‘First
Issue’ will remain a newsletter...
Nothing has really changed.

you haven’t already signed
