Vinyl Compilation; Need Your Suggestions
OK, i’ve been talking about a Wonk compilation album on vinyl for a while now and it looks like it will actually come to fruition this year.Choosing the songs is a fucking nightmare though??? 4 songs from each album- Soooo hard.
Ok so Jap flag, we gotta have Mistake right? Streets of Soho? Train loony? Girlfriend is a lunatic is pretty classic no?
Trolleys Thank you- Los angeles? I just love the way? Back of the van? Guts?
Muffy- Donkey of the Damned? Horses? Plasterer? Tortured genius? Elbows?
Should we even have Racehorse songs on it (as this is our current album) or should we add some new ones?
This album is primarily for the American market. A good representation of all things Wonk. So we need some Racehorse tracks right? Lewisham? Nan? Kings road? Go easy?
Fuck, it’s too hard.
16 songs. The definitive Wonk!
4 from each album?
Suggestions (again) please.( i know we’ve been here before) – Head over to our Facebook page to make your suggestions.

A Long Fun Weekend; 4 Wonk Gigs
4 gigs in one weekend!! Owl sanctuary, fish finger arm chair gig, steamboat Ipswich, and Malcfest.. Dan, Paul,Rob and Ben we love you! Thanks for being lovely brilliant Wonkers.
Everyone we met on our travels this weekend, we salute you! What fun we had!! Thank you for making us feel special and loved!
I can only apologize for Keef and his riot inducing behaviour at the steamboat in Ippo!
Benny boy put on the raddest all dayer with the nicest crowd. Full on lovely heads.
Why did you go and ruin it all by listening to Keef’s hatefully detructive rants!!
Punk rocks shows are not for bopping and having fun!!!
I warn everyone in future- just because Keef tells you all to fuck the soundman in the ear because he isn’t doing his job, doesn’t mean you all have to get your minkys and binkys out and milk yourself over the poor miserable souls eyes!
He was blinded in semen and vinegar!!
Ippo was my fav show this weekend Wilko! Thank you. I’m really sorry the Steamboat put you in such an uncomfortable situation.
Best weekend!! Owl Sanctuary – Amazing!! Fish Finger – delightful! Ippo- Christ has risen!!! Malcfest- Wonderful!!!
Abs!! Thank you for driving us and getting us all home safe!! The best!!!
You are all wonderful!!!
I have nothing but love for humanity!!

“Lumpi” T shirts?
This is one of the things i learned at school. How to ask in German where my Dog (Lumpi) is. He’s dead.
I also learned how to ask my dad if I could go to the cinema and watch a film called The Killer. But father wouldn’t let me because The Killer is rubbish.
I reckon i’ll make “Lumpi” T shirts next!

New Website Coming…
Well obviously the new Wonk Website is coming, cause you’re reading this!
So in a kinda surreal time-travel paradox, we can announce that THIS new website is being created by Web supremo, part time darts journalist, and obviously Wonk Unit fan, Krispy Brown. We could go on singing his praises, but as it’s actually Krispy writing this, it would be a sad thing to do.
This new official site should be the new hub of all things Wonk, along with the well followed Facebook Page.
So bookmark, and bet good to each other, seeya soon, weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
 is. He's dead. I also learned how to ask my dad if I could go to the cinema and watch a film called The Killer. ... ){kind=link}
