'Journey to the Centre of the Punk' by Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding |
![]() |
Howard is overjoyed to receive his order of a rare ‘Voodoo Scat’ LP by Jimmy Jefferson, the most expensive jazz record ever; unfortunately Vince is now into punk, and in order to impress his new pals from the band ‘Terminal Margaret’, he takes a bite out of the record. A distraught Howard takes the broken LP to Lester Corncrake to mend, only to discover that Vince has swallowed a part of it; even worse, the record was infused with the blood of Howling Jimmy Jefferson - the ‘Jazz Beast’ - whose spirit is now corrupting Vince’s soul. Vince performs as lead singer at ‘Terminal Margaret’s latest gig, but is booed off when he suddenly breaks into Voodoo Scat on stage. As Vince’s condition worsens, Naboo shrinks Howard and Lester down to microscopic size along with a submarine, and injects them into Vince’s bloodstream on a mission to find and destroy the jazz virus nucleus before it can infect Vince’s brain and kill him…
