Because I want it all.
It started out with a kiss.
Out of it and up like this.
It was only a kiss.
It was only a kiss.
Now I'm falling asleep.
And she's calling a cab.
Wally's having a smoke.
And she's taking a drag.
Now they're going to bed.
And my stomach is sick.
And it's all in my head.
But she's touching it.
And I just can't look, it's killing me And taking control Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Cause I missed the bright side I'm coming out of my cage and I've been doing just fine Gotta, gotta be down because I want it all It started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this?
And my stomach is sick And it's all in my head But she's touching his chest Now he takes off her dress Now let me go Cause I just can't look It's killing me
Well hey, good morning.
We're Adam and Joe, this is BBC6 music.
Welcome to our breakfast show.
Joe, your mic isn't working, man.
Well, I'm shouting to make up for it.
It's working.
Was that my fault?
No, it wasn't your fault.
No.
Good morning, everybody.
Good morning.
Hi, I'm Adam.
I'm Joe.
Very nice to be here.
We're filling in for Shaun Keeney, in case you didn't realise, for a couple of weeks here on 6music.
We'll be here till 10am and we've got lots of stuff coming up in the show.
We might be doing Cruddy Commentary Corner later.

Coming up maybe in the second hour.
We've also got a serial thriller.
We got our pick of the session tracks, we've got great music coming up in this hour alone, we've got the eels, Candy Pain, the Kaiser Chiefs and some love.
That was The Killers with Mr. Brightside you heard before incidentally and right now I think we're gonna hear the White Stripes.
Is that right?
In some respects I suspect you've got a respectable side When pushed and pulled in pressure You say I don't wanna hide But it's for someone else's benefit Not for what you wanna do Until I realize that you've realized I'm gonna say these words to you
You don't know what love is You do as you're told Just as a child a ten-mile act But you're far too old You're not hopeless or helpless And I hate to sound cold But you don't know what love is You just do as you're told
Your man can't help but win any problems in their eyes But in his mind there can be no sin if you're never gonna sign us You just keep on repeating all those empty I love you's Until you say you deserve better I'm gonna lay right into you
Just as a child of ten might act, but you're far too old You're not hopeless or helpless, and I hear you sound cold But you don't know what love is No, you don't know what love is No, you don't know what love is
You just do as you're told
Crikey!
A guitar solo for... A guitar solo for dogs, there.
Oh, very high-pitched, you mean?
Very high-pitched is what I mean, yeah.
Right up at the... Right up at the... Down at the bottom of the neck!
No, up at the top of the neck!
No, he's down at the bottom of the neck!
Oh, of the guitar neck!
Of the guitar!
But in terms of the human neck, right up at the top by the ears!
Yeah!
And yeah, very ultrasonic there.
Hmm.
That's good.
Is that is that from the new one?
Lisa?
Yeah, there you go.
And it's called you don't know what love is the white stripes is the new one any conduct that's right.
It's kind of condescending, isn't it?
It from jack?
Yeah, a little bit.
You don't know what love is.
Do you think I thought I knew what love what I you know, I think I do.
Yeah, at least 10.
See, no, who was it that said I want to know what love is?
10CC?
It wasn't.
They said I'm not in love.
Oh no, you're right.
What were they called?
Foreigner.
Foreigner.
Was it?
They wanted to know.
At least they wanted to know.
They had an inquiring mind about love.
Yeah.
Jack, he's just like, you don't even know what love is.
He's so cocky.
He should be brought down a peg or two.
Maybe.
Do they still chart that band?
Meg will bring them down a peg.
Do their singles get into the chart?
Surely.
They're one of the biggest acts around.
Really?
Yeah.
I'm going to track them down.
It's my mission to make them my friends.
All right.
I love them because I love, I mean, you know, romantically inamative Meg.
Really?
She's so pale.
I like her.
She's so pale.
She'd disappear in the sheets.
She's like a black triangle and two pink circles.
She's like a talented porcelain golly.
I'm not even going to think about that.
Um, and Jack, you know, I can't all men surely admire Jack.
He's like a, he's like a sort of Mexican guitar slinging bandido.
i'm indifferent really yeah you're always indifferent aren't you yeah but um no i'm just saying that no different is what i meant yeah i am different you are different and of course the white stripes responsible for so many of the greatest videos in rock history that's true and uh the one where all the the drums replicate that michelle gondry one well in fact it's always michelle gondry it's always isn't it and the other one of course is the lego one
Now, Lego, I have been obsessed by for the last few months.
My son is now getting to the age where he's really... Well, he's into Bionicle, isn't he?
Bionicle's, they're a Lego spin-off.
There's about a thousand Lego spin-offs, but he's into all of the various Lego tropes, if that's the right word.
What do you call the little blobbles on Lego?
What would you call it?
Oh, the little stiffs.
Stiffs?
The stiffs.
You're going for stiffs?
The hunkles.
Hunkles?
The circular troobs.
Yeah.
The spins.
Right.
The doubles.
Well this is something that maybe people could text us.
The connie hooks.
I'd like...
They're Connie Hooks from Blue Peter.
Yeah, yeah.
I'd like some... The stibbles.
I'd like the official explanation for what you call those little things.
Here's the most boring thing you could call them.
Runks.
Units, right?
They're not units.
So if you're identifying a block, you say, I'd like a two by four unit red block, please.
That's true.
They come in what?
Do they come in ones?
They used to come in ones.
In single stive blocks.
Sure.
There's all kinds of new... Two stive blocks.
Stives.
I remember when Lego introduced people.
Right?
Yeah, they didn't used to have little Lego men.
Never?
Never.
No, you had to use them with your own soldiers or play people.
That's true.
You had to integrate the toys, blend the toys.
If you wanted a little person, you had to just put two little red blocks and then maybe a yellow block on top.
For their hair.
Yeah?
Yeah.
In fact, they used to make sort of big, giant Lego people, didn't they?
That's right.
And everything in the Lego world was much bigger than it is now, but then they introduced people.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
With removable hair, just like Playmobil.
And now they're amazing.
Have you seen the Star Wars ones they do?
Yes, I have.
They are brilliant.
They're brilliant.
So listen, folks, do text us if you'd like to tell us either what those... Stimples.
...stimples are really called.
It's Lego anatomy.
Chads.
They're like Lego chads, aren't they?
Well, a chad is a voting slip, isn't it?
Yeah, but it's the little stipple that comes off when it gets punched.
Right, right, right.
And it hangs off.
The ripple.
The hanging chad.
So what's it called, folks?
What's the real name for it?
What's the made-up name?
Whatever you call it, you can text
What is it?
What is it?
Well, these are numbers, Adam.
Do you remember what that one is?
Six.
Yeah, what's that one?
Four.
That one, the big ooh.
Is it, what, the world?
No, the circle, more like the black hole.
Space.
Space, no, listen.
64046.
Text 64046 if you want to communicate with us.
If you want to email, you can email Adam and Joe, all one word, dot six number six music at bbc.co.uk.
What are those Lego things called?
Let's have some eels while we think.
You're dead, but the world keeps spinning Take a spin through the world you've left It's getting dark
Are you missing me, dear neighbor?
I'm taking a spin through the neighborhood The neighbor's screaming, she's talking back
What if I was not your only friend in this world?
Can you take me where you're going if you're never coming back?
I'm gonna fly on down for the last stop to this town I'm gonna fly on down then fly away
Why don't we take a ride away up high to the neighborhood?
Up over the billboards and the factories and smoke.
I'm gonna fly on down and fly away on my way.
That was the eels with Last Stop This Town.
This is Adam and Joe on BBC6 music, filling in for Sean Keveny.
Hello.
Hey, how you doing?
Are you talking to me?
No, I was talking to the listeners.
Oh, sorry, I got all excited because I thought, oh, he's talking to me.
No, why would I talk to you?
Joe Cornish, he's talking to me.
It's exciting for you.
Yeah.
Yeah, so, uh, morning everybody.
We've been asking you what the hell the little bumps on Lego bricks are called.
That's exactly the kind of thing that a sort of inane breakfast show should be talking about.
Yeah, exactly.
7.15 in the morning or whatever it is, 17.
What kind of, uh, we'll talk about the Lego bumps in a second, although I should say that our producer Lisa was a little confused as soon as the eels started playing.
She said, what are you talking about?
She said, what's Lego?
What are you talking about?
I mean ladies obviously.
She was bought up by a very cruel mum like the mum in the film Carrie.
Yeah.
Who kept you on a little chain in the cupboard under the sink and you were only allowed to play with mould.
Isn't that right?
Yep.
And uh, and Duplo, she was never allowed.
And every Sunday you had to kneel in the cupboard and pray.
Isn't that right all day?
She's crossing her arms, look.
And when you didn't, cutlery came out of the cutlery drawer, flew across the kitchen and spiked all over your body.
Anyway, there you go.
How carry or is that out of the boogie man least just said anyway Lego very loudly?
But no she didn't understand what which bits were we actually talking about we're talking about the little bits to actually help you connect one block to Another you know the bumpy bits.
That's a nice way of putting it.
They help you connect them together Well, they assist you it's true.
Yeah.
I need to connect these bricks together.
I need some help I can help with that
Say the blank.
Say the stiffs.
Well someone, somebody anonymously has texted us and it would be great if you'd put, it would be great if you'd put your names on your texts.
Sorry, it's early in the morning, my lungs aren't working properly.
So we can tell who you are.
We've got an anonymous text that says lego lumps are called nubblies, but I like the phrase lego lumps.
Lego lumps, yeah.
Yeah?
We've got another text, and this is from Kev in Liverpool, who says the bits on Lego bricks are called locklets, except on Star Wars Lego, where they're called Ewoks.
That's not true.
You should have called them E-Locks.
E-Locks.
We would have gone for E-Locks.
E-Locks is good.
Locklets, so it's Locklets versus Nubblies.
well this is the kind of thing only the lego website can solve yeah we might have to go on this or maybe wikipedia maybe that's got a label diagrammatic of a lego brick that's true isn't it what and while you're considering this that rather consider this it's still just taking his top off and he's pointing at his breasts
Consider this consider my hairy breasts now No consider this here is an idea for a book right that my brother was talking about I probably even choose your brother's idea Yeah, yeah, I shouldn't even mention you might be angry maybe angry yeah, but who cares?
But I'm putting it out there Just so I can lay some claim on it for the family right huh in case we ever get it's a novel or a a
Now this is an idea for a coffee table type book that would make a fortune, but only probably for Lego.
I don't know what the legalities of it would be, but the idea is a compendium, a celebration of Lego throughout the ages that would include all the best instructions that there have ever been for great Lego models.
Do you know what I mean?
Now did they used to come with instructions?
Well of course they always come with instructions.
Their instructions are amazing.
They're a masterpiece of concision and clarity.
They're brilliant.
Are they really?
Yeah, they are brilliant.
They're artworks in themselves.
But here's a book that would compile... I think a book of actual instructions.
I think in a way you're limiting yourself to limit it to Lego.
yeah just all instructions yeah just amazing instructions right but no come on that's gotta be a good i'm gonna talk to lego about that because why doesn't that exist already there's got to be some reason maybe if are there any lego people listening very early in the morning lego people what actual lego people yeah
Little plastic Lego people.
Tiny, tiny Lego people.
Please call him.
They probably are because they can't sleep, because they can't close their eyes, because their eyes are painted on their heads.
Joe, I've got a candy pain.
Have you?
Yes.
Well, let's give you one more chance then.
Thank you.
Terrible introduction.
BBC Six Music.
It has long been rumoured in showbiz circles that there was once a game of Top Trumps between Morrissey, Bruce Forsyth, Roland Ratt and Adolf Hitler.
Well, there was one other at the Green Bay's table that night.
None other than I, Harry Hill.
I have remained silent for too long and at last tell my story in the world premiere of my long-awaited concept album, the story of the first meeting of the International Recipe Card Top Trump Society.
on six music bank holiday monday from three very good i'm looking forward to that yeah the great harry hill am i not right in saying he's bringing back um game for a laugh i thought you're gonna say hanging we might be doing that as well uh game for a laugh that's a good idea he is sort of reoccupying the space that jeremy beetle used to occupy in the 80s but doing it if such a thing is possible even with even extra witten invention yeah
and a little bit of surreality.
That's what Harry Hill specialises in.
TV book's one of the best shows around man.
Even though it was recently punished by the Broadcasting Standards Authority for being naughty in some way wasn't it?
I don't remember that.
It did something bad I can't remember.
Everyone's done something bad on telly at some point.
It's true.
They're all liars.
It's a pit of deceit.
It really is.
It really is.
Hey, hello, we're Adam and Joe.
Welcome to BBC6 Music.
This is our breakfast show.
We're covering for Sean Keaveney and we've had a few more texts in about what you call the joiny things on Lego bricks, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Nubblies, locklets, e-locks.
E-locks.
They were specifically on the Star Wars Lego things, but it seems
It seems that Sarah in Edinburgh is going to bring this whole debate to a close.
She says, according to the Wikipedia page, it's called a stud.
A stud.
Of course it's called a stud.
There you go.
Is it called a stud though?
Well, that would make sense, wouldn't it?
That's the best descriptive word for them.
yeah but i think that's like a generic term you know that's also a good description for for me me is it for me yeah in what because you conquer so many women no because i'm short and no you're you're a stump yeah that would be a better well there you go it's a stud
Wait, hang on, Sarah's bringing us more information.
Yeah?
She's logged onto that Wikipedia page and she's read it.
Right.
And then she's copied what she read and sent it to us.
That's good.
And she's also said that the word Lego comes from a Danish phrase which means... What, Adam?
Um, blockfun.
No, it means play well.
Almost.
There you go.
Hey, thanks Sarah in Edinburgh.
Yeah, thank you very much.
In fact, I think that piece of information was even featured in quite an interesting article in Word Magazine this month, where they tell you all about the derivation of a lot of brand names.
Brilliant.
Okay, moving on.
It's time for Adam's archive session track, isn't it?
Yes, it is.
And I went through all the Peel sessions, having a look at them, and there's a great list of
So did I, by the way.
Yeah, we both did.
There's a great list of like the 50 best ever Peel Sessions as voted for by Peel himself and friends and admirers and fans and stuff.
And this was one of them.
This is Gary Newman.
And when's it from, Lisa?
1979.
1979.
Newman at the peak of his powers.
And this is a track called Films.
Adam's pick of the BBC archive.
So play it all back So play it all back And I don't like the scenery And I don't like the sense of Put it all down Put it all down But I like the actors
We're so exposed We're so exposed Anything can happen Anything can happen And only then see And only then know And you wonder why And you wonder why Turn off the lights And turn off the sound
He's a Newmanide from space.
That was Gary Newman from 1979.
That's Peel Session.
And that track was called Films.
This is Adam and Joe here on 6music.
Time for the news now.

Good morning.
Britain lags behind many European countries when it comes to survival rates for several forms of cancer.
According to a new study, the survival rate in Britain is similar to that of some Eastern European countries whose health budgets are a third of the UK's.
Our health correspondent Fergus Walsh says the figures are a cause for concern.
Across Europe,
Cancer care is getting better and the survival rates are improving.
But still, 15 years after this data was first collected, the UK is doing below average.
below the European average across a whole range of cancers and that is extremely worrying.
Also making six music news, Mexico's brace for the arrival of Hurricane Dean.
It's increased in strength and is now a category five storm.
Wind speeds have risen to around 160 miles an hour.
Thousands of people have been evacuated, including workers on Mexican oil rigs and our correspondent Jonathan Beals and the holiday resort Cancun.
You can see the palm trees around the hotels twisting.
You can see the huge surf and also the horizontal rain.
It's dramatic.
You can see lightning on the horizon.
But I think it's going to be much, much worse at the eye of the storm, which hasn't yet hit land.
That will be in Belize, areas which are very poor, which probably are pretty ill prepared.
The government's going to fight a decision not to deport a man who murdered a headteacher.

And the weather.
Well, there's been some heavy rain in Kent this morning and there'll be more heavy showers there and the rest of South East England throughout the day.
Elsewhere, drier but pretty cloudy, the best of any sunshine in the west, so in Wales and in Devon and Cornwall.

Now with Six Music News, Adrian Larkin.
BBC, Six Music.
Pete Ockedy is due in court later today.
This time the charges relate to him breaching certain bail conditions.
The 28-year-old singer was held in custody at an East London police station overnight following his arrest for suspected drug possession.
Now, straight off the back of his V Festival appearance at the weekend and Kanye West delivered the first Vodafone secret gig in the Capitol last night.
His performance at the Central Hall in Westminster follows gigs from the likes of Kasabian and Maximo Park elsewhere in the country.
The rapper delivered several songs from his forthcoming third album, Graduation, to an audience that included Craig David and Rihanna.
He also had a 20-strong female orchestra with him.
What else?
This is what some fans made of it.
I thought it was brilliant.
I mean, the orchestra was brilliant with all the different colours.
It looked really good.
I loved his new songs.
I think if he probably chugged out a few more of his old tunes it would have been a lot more of an enjoyable concert.
When he did that, he did it the normal version and then he did it like acoustic.
Yeah, a little bit.
Which was good.
And finally a piano played by John Lennon the day he died is on sale for £190,000.
The former Beatle insisted on using the outright ground whenever he was at the Record Plant recording studios in Manhattan and he played it just hours before he was shot on the 8th of December 1980.

Join me, Gideon Co, after Adam and Joe from TEN.
Do you remember the time I knew a girl from Mars?
I don't know if you knew that I would stay up there playing cards in the winter months cigars And she never told me her name I still love you, the girl from Mars
By the water's edge On a cold summer night Fireflies and stars in the sky Jump to blowing light From your cigarette The breeze blowing softly on my face Reminds me of something else Something that in my memories being misplaced Suddenly I'll come back And as I look to the stars I remember the time I knew it all from my heart
Electricity in the air Just ignore, move and I don't care
No, I'll give you back All the stuff we've been caught We've been to the cigars
It felt as if you'd returned I thought that you were standing over me When I woke there was no one there I still love you girl from love
That's the wonderful Ash with Girl From Mars.
This is Adam and Joe here on 6Music from the BBC.
Now there was just an item on the news there beautifully read by Adrian and Harvey about Kanye West doing a secret gig in London.
I think that was Adrian who was reading that bit.
He does the music news.
And when I was in America recently I bought the new Common album.
Do you know who Common is?
He's a rapper man.
He's a rapper man and his new album's produced by Kanye West and it's really good.
I might play a track from it today or tomorrow or something.
It's called Finding Forever and I bought it and every time I went out in my car I stuck it on.
And you know when you hire a car and you've only got one CD and you listen to it over and over and over again and it becomes kind of like
The theme tune to your trip.
Right.
That's what happened with this album by Common.
So about a week into my holiday, I don't drink coffee myself, but I went into a Starbucks with a friend.
And you know Starbucks sells CDs.
That's right.
But they don't sell a lot of CDs.
They select particular CDs.
Yes.
And there was the Common CD.
So you immediately... The Starbucks selection.
They had two CDs.
They had the Common CD and a Dave Matthews CD.
Oh.
And it made me suddenly feel ill.
I'm a Starbucks music jerk.
I'm a mass culture idiot.
I've fallen for that.
I'm listening to the same tripe that a million coffee-swilling... Gimps.
Durbrains.
Nice, better than gimps.
Yeah, are listening to Durbrains.
Do you think I was right to feel belittled?
To feel less special?
Well, that's the modern quandary, isn't it?
Yeah.
That's the whole nightmare of living in... I couldn't really listen to it for another day.
It felt sullied by a massive, world-strangling coffee corporation.
You know what, bottom line, of course it's not right, Joe, yeah?
The joy you got from that music, that's the most important thing.
Has it ever happened to you, anything similar?
Of course!
It's like when you discover a band.
yeah you think you're the only person who's kind of listening to them or you're part of a minority and then a week later they shoot to the top of the charts yeah exactly it's a total drag it's probably the way andrew collins felt when the arctic monkeys got really massive did he just sort of discover them then well no he he was like a really early advocate of theirs he was always going on about them on six music and he wrote some articles about them on in various magazines and stuff and he was like a really early fan and got into them when they were doing their myspace stuff
But he always championed them like he wanted them to get big, so I guess maybe he didn't mind.
But certainly I'm in the camp where it's nicer if it's your own little secret, and certainly you don't want it being sold over the counter at Starbucks of all places.
Starbucks?
Yeah, because it's like a symbol of everything that's rotten about capitalism getting involved with art and stuff.
Yeah, you know what?
I love them.
I'm just trying to be balanced.
Yeah, okay.
I think they're a symbol of everything that's good in the world.
That's right, whereas I- High quality coffee for all.
You know, at affordable prices.
It's the same with Dire Straits, you know, it was not a fashionable band to be into because they were just too massive back in the 80s.
And they were associated with yuppies and slightly idiotic people.
But actually, you know, they were good.
They were good.
If you listen back to Do The Walk, Do The Walk Of Life, maybe they weren't.
Maybe they weren't good.
Anyway, let's have some more music now.
Here's KT Tunstall.
Say you to me, you're a bird willin' eye If I enter then shiny Searchin' the land for a human
You say I need More than my fair share of attention But I think you know That just isn't so underneath I felt the fire of a burning question Tearing me apart Right from the very start And now I see That it don't take a trick of the light to excite me So strong, so long, you will see
Hold on to what you've been given lately Hold on to what you know you've got Hold on to what you've been given lately Hold on cause the world will turn again
A heart of gold and old had young shoulders Quiet and lovely, become a part of me And now I see, from a handful of names and a thousand faces One light, burning free of sleep I was tired of January, I was tired of June I felt the change a coming

Don't miss the week's music news and Imran's dodgy jokes right now in our first ever podcast.
bbc.co.uk slash six music the music week podcast now available online on demand extraordinary lies is that what young people call music these days i watched die hard 4 the other day 4.0 sorry 4.0 die hard colon die harder
Right.
And there's some good scenes at the beginning where young people are hacking at their computers.
And while they're hacking, they're listening to kind of the worst music I've ever heard.
Basically like sort of what looked like 15 year old goth girls just sort of going,
You should find out what it is.
Look on the closing credits, find out what it is and we'll play it.
Alright, I'll find out tonight and we'll play it tomorrow.
We might get more younger listeners.
Possibly.
But I did it, I felt like my dad.
I just thought, what?
Are young people really listening to that?
That's a disgrace.
I don't believe they really are.
Plus, I don't believe you could really get any work done if you were listening to that.
You know, even if you were hacking.
Even if you were right on top of your hacking, and you were very confident about the hacking, that's not, you know, you're just going to get confused if you listen to that.
Did the computer keys on the keyboard make noises?
They did, didn't they, in Die Hard 4?
Even in this day and age, you can't have someone typing information into a computer in a movie without every letter they typed going,
Well I'm not sure if they were going beep, but there was a lot of clacking going on certainly.
Clacking, oh well that's alright.
There was very fast clacking but then there was even clacking when they used rolled up soft keyboards.
Really?
Yeah.
Really?
And that's nice.
I think there's a little sort of digital sound when the letters come up on the keyboard.
I noticed it in The Bourne whatever it is.
What's the new one called?
The Ultimatum?
No.
Is it?
Supremacy.

What's it called?
Prophecy.
Autopsy.
Whatever it's called.
Adventure.
and it was going on in Transformers.
Yeah.
Shocking business.
Listen, it's time for my archive session track, Joe's archive session track.
What have you picked for us, Joe?
Well, this morning Anna and I picked some Cornelius.
I love Cornelius, he's a genius.
He's one of our most favourite Japanese music makers.
I saw him recently at the Royal Festival Hall.
He's amazing live, if you ever get the chance to catch him live.
He does an incredibly tight live set which is perfectly coordinated with massive background video projections and Cornelius' videos
are amazing if you want to check them out just pop his name into YouTube and most of them are on there they're incredibly inventive kind of lo-fi videos yeah yeah yeah yeah fit check out the one for fit that's amazing do you know that one it's it's where everything is sort of animating itself a box opens at the beginning and then some sugar lumps that the new one yeah amazing around that's right unbelievable yeah and then there's a there's a purse floating in midair and it it opens and all the money shoots out it's brilliant
It is brilliant.
Anyway, this was recorded for John Peel on Radio One on the 8th of September 1998.
This is Cornelius with a track called Ball in Kickoff.
Joe's pick of the BBC archive.
Kickoff, Ball in Kickoff.
Kickoff, Ball in Kickoff.
Kickoff, Ball in Kickoff.
Kickoff, Ball in Kickoff.
Kickoff, Ball in Kickoff.
Kickoff, Ball in Kickoff.
Pickle, rolling pickle.
That bit there you can hear, that's not in the track.
It is.
That was actually there.
When's that from then?
What year is that?
1998.
He's got a new album out now, hasn't he?
Called Sensuous.
Is he?
Yeah.
I do recommend that.
That's off his previous album.
Was it called Point?
Or was that the single?
Something like that.
That's Cornelius with Boiling Kickoff from the Peel Sessions on Radio 1, the 8th of September 1998.
Now it's interactive catch-up time.
I love interactive catch-up time.
You can text us on 64046 or email us
at adamandjoe.6musicatbbc.co.uk and various people have.
First of all there is more conflict in the debate about what to call the studs on Lego bricks.
I thought we'd resolved this.
No we haven't.
You call them studs.
Jim from Wiltshire says Lego linkers, we're calling them linkers there, are defo called poggers.
Well he's making that up though.
Well how do you know?
Yeah.
You might have superior knowledge.
How do I know?
On the issue of buying CDs from Starbucks.
Right.
Dan from London says, my sister recently got me a Paul McCartney CD, dot dot dot, bleed in Paul, bleed in McCartney.
Does she not know me?
And she got it from Starbucks.
I cry at the dysfunctional nature of our once proud family.
So Dan, they're in agreement that the very fact that a CD is sold by Starbucks takes a little bit of a sheen off it.
I thought you were just saying while the music was playing there that all your... Joe dropped a series of amazing names in the break there folks because he's just been in LA doing some work out there and so he dropped some extraordinary names and the consensus with all the names was it doesn't matter if you're into something you're into it, it shouldn't matter.
Well, I'd like to think that but when push comes to shove I think there is a bit of truth in it.
For instance, what about Prince's allegiance with the mail on Sunday?
Do you think a little bit less of Prince?
because he's allied himself with with the male?
Do you think less of McCartney?
Because there seems to be something happening culturally where once enormous uh flawless stars have kind of abandoned the the upper and lower parts of the market and embraced the middle market completely unashamedly as a way of surviving.
Bowie kind of did it as well didn't he slightly
when he went on the internet and all that stuff started selling shares he was doing it on his own terms though I mean if you don't know folks then we should remind you that Prince recently decided now is this right not to release his album in the shops or to release his album in the shops as well as giving it away free with the mail on Sunday or something like that like like who's your would you think less of spoon if they did that Adam you're a fan of spoon I love spoon what if spoon did a tie-in with their daily star
and had a lady with moist boobs on the cover of their album?
You know if with the moist boobs would enamour me to them no obviously obviously not you would you would think less of them you'd think what are they doing you know great things should be sought out and found and loved and cared for but then if you're getting something out the most important thing is the music some people think i don't know
Yeah well if you've got a thought out there listener do text us on 64046 or email us adamandjoe.6musicatbbc.co.uk What was that last McCartney song?
Everybody have fun tonight, everybody have a bun tonight.
Have a bun tonight?
Everybody look at thumbs to... I don't know it was something like that.
It was that level of genius.
Hey let's clear the air by having a little bit of... is it the Velvet Underground next?
Yeah with rock and roll.
She said when she was just five years old, there was nothing happening at all.
Every time she puts on the radio, there was nothing going down at all.
Not at all.
Then one fine morning, she puts on a New York station.
You know she don't believe what she's saying.
to that fine fine music you know her life was saved by rock and roll despite all the amputations you know you could just go out and dance to the rock roll station it was all right
Jenny said when she was just about five years old, you know my parents are gonna be the death of us all.
Two TV sets and two Cadillac cars, well you know it ain't gonna help me at all.
Nah, just leave it tiny blue.
And one fine morning she turns on the New York station, she doesn't believe what she hears.
rock and roll, yeah rock and roll.
Despite all the computation, you could just tease us to that rock and roll station.
She was just about five years old.
Hey, yo, there's nothing happening at all.
Not at all.
Every time I put on the radio, you know there's nothing going down at all.
She is a New York station.
She doesn't believe what you heard at all.
Hey, not at all.
She's known to dance to that high-speed music.
You know her life is saved by rock and roll.
Yeah, it's rock and roll.
Ooh, despite all the computation, you know you could just dance to a rock and roll station.
Boy, you listen to me now.
And it was old.
luckily it turns out it's all right now which is a relief can't beat a bit of velvet underground at eight in the morning that was rock and roll and this is adam and joe here on six music now here's the news read by adrian and harvey

BBC 6 Music.
BBC 6 Music.
Closer to the music that matters.
Go on, go on, just walk away Go on, go on, your choice is made
Go on, away from here And I know I was wrong when I said it was true That it couldn't be me and be far in between without you
Yesterday, away from you, it falls me deep inside Come back, come back, don't walk away Come back, come back, come back today Come back, come back, what can't you see Come back, come back, come back to me I don't know what was wrong when I said it was true That it couldn't be me
The Cure with Inbetween Days.
This is BBC6 Music.
You're listening to Adam and Joe on The Breakfast Show.
Hello.
It's time for the serial thriller.
Let's make up a jingle on the spot for serial thriller.
Serial thriller.
It's the serial thriller.
Oh, crikey.
That went badly.
That was very bad.
Let's record that and we can play it again tomorrow.
OK.
We've got on the line Daniel Harris from Tooting.
Can you hear us, Daniel Harris?
I can indeed.
Hello, good morning.
Now, good morning, Daniel.
We hear you might have African flu, is that correct?
It's a possibility.
I'm feeling a bit under the weather and it's my week off.
How fair is that?
You sound like a man.
I was in Nigeria a few weeks ago and I think I might have picked some virulent strain of flu.
Really?
That's outbreak, man.
You weren't playing with any monkeys out there, were you?
No, I wasn't actually.
No, I was working on an education project.
Really?
You know, I watched a Nigerian film on the plane over to America.
Are you interested in that, Daniel, at all?
In film, generally, yeah, absolutely.
Did you know there's something called Nollywood, which is the Nigerian Hollywood?
Yeah, it's the third largest film industry on the planet apparently.
Is that really true?
Yeah, indeed.
After America and India?
Absolutely.
Is that true?
It was extraordinary, the film I saw.
It was very amateurishly made.
And I'm not saying that's necessarily a reflection of the entire Nigerian film industry, but this one was quite extraordinarily amateurish.
What was it about?
It was about a Nigerian man inheriting some money and coming to live in London.
But it looked as if it had been shot by his mate.
just, you know, on a domestic handicam and then edited on his laptop quite poorly.
It wasn't about his father's mining business collapsing and needing to get someone to... That's coming to America with Eddie Murphy.
No, I'm thinking about those emails that you used to get.
Actually, you don't get them anymore, but do you remember, like, hi, I'm from Nigeria.
My father's business collapsed recently.
He was a millionaire.
I need someone in the UK to help me set up a bank account.
I think somebody optioned one of those emails.
Yeah.
turned it into a film.
Are you still with us Daniel?
I am indeed, yep.
So listen, your favourite film apparently is The Producers, is that right?
One of many, but yeah The Producers I suppose.
If I was going to hire a cinema and take 30 mates in I'd probably play them The Producers.
This is the remake we're talking about, right?
Yeah, it has to be.
With Will Ferrell.
Are you a fan of that one?
Not really, no, it's the original, that's the one I'm into.
And you've got the builders in fixing your boiler, is that right?
They're changing the boiler, yes, yeah.
Lots of tea breaks and occasional work.
That takes one day, right?
And that's not more than a two day.
It's a two day job.
The piping's very complicated.
It's like installing an organ.
Right.
A pipe organ.
It's like installing the heart of the house.
Isn't it just?
It's like heart surgery for the house, except performed by dorks instead of geniuses.
Hey, you're calling Daniel's builders dorks.
Installing a boiler is a terrific skill.
You know what they might be
listening this I'm joking guys you're not dorks you're doing a brilliant job don't you know don't screw up I don't think talks is an acronym it could be the foot you know for you now if it refers to a Wales Taj
But there you go, that's an actual scientific fact.
So listen, Daniel, you've kindly chosen two tracks that will give Adam and me a chance to have a bit of breakfast.
What have you chosen?
It's Apollo 440 with Stop the Rock.
Haven't heard it for ages, but it's very much a sort of a bounce you out of bed and bounce you into work type of song.
Now, we were talking about tracks that are sort of influenced by various commercial associations, and that one was a track that was on a video game, wasn't it?
I'm not sure, you tell me.
Stop the rock, stop the rock.
It was used for a football game and it was used for a lot of commercial things, but that doesn't stop Pew enjoying it though, does it?
Not me, no, not me at all.
No.
What's your second track?
The other one is K.L.F.
and Tammy Wynette.
Good choice.
An utterly bizarre but beautiful track.
I mean it's one of those things where two weird things come together and make something rather wonderful.
And that's justified in ancient.
There you go, and that was a great video as well.
She turned up in that video, didn't she?
Did she?
I think so.
Do you remember that, Daniel?
Vaguely, yeah.
And she looked sort of confused, as you would if you were in a collaborative effort with the KLS.
And singing about ice cream vans and moo moo lands and stuff.
There you go.
Well, great choices, Daniel.
Thank you very much for calling in and talking to us, and thanks for your choices.
Hope the boiler surgery goes well, and I really hope you start feeling better before your week off is done.
Thank you very much indeed.
So here we go.
This is our serial thriller for Tuesday morning.
We'll be back after we've had a bit of a snack.
But if you don't like what they're going to do Better not stop them cause they're coming through
They're justified and they're ancient And they drive an ice cream van They're justified and they're ancient With still no master plan The last train left an hour ago They were singing
Turn up this
Adam and Joe on 6music.

You can't stop the run You can't stop the run You can't stop the run You can't stop the run You can't stop the run You can't stop the run
That was Stop The Rock by Apollo 440 and before that you heard Justified, an ancient with, that was the KLF with Tammy Wynette.
Yeah, and we're Adam and Joe here on BBC6 Music filling in for Sean W Keeney for a couple of weeks.
We've been taking your emails on a certain problem we've identified in contemporary music listening.
What do you do when your favourite artist becomes associated with some kind of mass brand?
Yeah, when your favourite artist embraces the mainstream to such a ludicrous degree that, in the case of Prince, he's giving away his new album with copies of The Mail on Sunday.
Like it couldn't be The Guardian or The Telegraph or whatever.
He had to go for The Mail on Sunday.
Or one of my favourite hip-hoppers, Common, decides to sell his album in Starbucks.
yeah I mean that's pretty bad what would what would you do if Public Enemy started giving away their new album with I don't know tampons or something like that it would be it would certainly affect your enjoyment I think a little bit don't you think just a little bit specifically with tampons
I was hoping you wouldn't dwell on that.
Lisa's holding her head in her hands now.
We've had one or two texts on this subject.
Somebody called Ninety in Leeds.
Is your name really Ninety, the number Ninety?
That's pretty cool.
Maybe you're an associate of Prince.
I think he's Joe Ninety.
Really?
Yeah.
He says, or she says, Paul McCartney has been below par for many a year, so his capitalist defection is no surprise.
Yeah, that's about McCartney releasing his album through the popular coffee chain.
Joni Mitchell releasing through that coffee shop, though, makes me feel that all hope is lost.
Joni Mitchell released one through the major coffee chain as well.
Did you know that?
Yeah, but I mean, is it any worse?
You know, major record companies have got all sorts of fingers and all sorts of pies.
Is it any worse than just going for like a high street shop or something?
That's what we're asking.
Kim in Rochdale says artists who appear on iPod adverts go down considerably in my estimations.
Now those are those adverts with a kind of silhouette of some highly fashionable looking person boogying around with weird Rorschach splodges dancing around in the background.
Yeah.
But I thought iPods were cool.
You know, I think that's an inaccurate advert anyway.
No one goes into the street and dances like that with their iPod.
Do you not?
What you do is you walk along the street like a zombie bumping into everybody and being completely unaware of your surroundings.
Oh dear me, Joe Cornish.
Bit of a chip on my shoulder there.
I do, I groove around there.
I'm really grooving around.
You can see my little fat belly in silhouette while I'm grooving with my iPod.
Sticking to the point though, Will in Ealing says finding a CD you love in the major coffee shop chain must be like finding out your girlfriend is your long-lost sister.
what uh does he mean sexy times the music i think no it's a trail hey no here we go here we go just before we do the trail martin from brighton has a very kind of a considered and balanced thing to say he says i've got to say i'm happy to let artists do whatever they want as long as the music doesn't start to suck as a result of moist boobs selling out only happens when the music is compromised
Yeah, and then he says man at the end.
That's got to be the last word.
Martin, you're so sensible.
Yeah.
Thank God for Martin.
Vote for Martin.
Here's a trail.

Here she comes, a summer in her heels You can meet her at the station to escape for a day She wants to know existence exists So you take her to the places that the tourists never see You lift her up and feel yourself fooled You feel so prophesied of while you walk a little taller She's a beatific vision the world can see
She's got your tongue tied, got your heart skipping beats I don't know
Oh, when I ramble around I can tell you in my life She's the best I've found You walk together through the lanes and the parks Wrap her in the evening till the stars come out
The afterlife is what you leave behind Gonna leave a lot of footprints, gonna take a lot of time
That was Breaks with a track called Beartific Visions.
Is that a new one Lisa?
Yes, it is.
That's good, man.
I really enjoyed that.
Their first album was very good as well.
Now they're a kind of supergroup, I believe.
They're made up from members of British Seapower and the Electric Soft Parade.
Yeah.
And the sum of their parts adds up to a greater
Hole, I believe than either of those bands if that makes any sense.
That's not to put down either of those bands I don't want to fight with anyone from British sea power or the electric soft parade.
I don't want any kind of sea power violence I'm just saying that the brakes are really good and I enjoyed that very much favorite supergroup Joe Cornish that one No, come on.
You must have traveling will breeze.
Yeah I love the traveling will breeze
their collection came out recently and that was a guilty pleasure actually we were talking about guilty pleasures in the break there saying that it was a sort of bogus concept you know you either like something or you don't there's no reason for you to feel guilty about it but when the traveling Wilburys first emerged
I found myself feeling pretty conflicted about enjoying there was a song called end of the line.
Well, it's all right.
We go to the end of the line.
It was really good.
I thought I love this song.
But this is clearly the like the most uncool group that you could ever ever like just these old blokes met a lot of their songs were about getting old and how they shouldn't be discriminated against because they're ancient.
But um actually you know they were wicked and that their collection came out and a lot of the songs even though they you know they sound like the sort of stuff that maybe your mum might enjoy more than Say Pete doxy.
I don't know I picked him He's like one of the kids right Russell brand how about that?
It's still it's still really good stuff.
So they're my favorite super group and
Joe Cornish?
I don't think I've got any favourite super groups.
Not even while I was rambling about the Wilburys?
No, I feel like I've been on a really long walk.
Favourite super groups, anyone?
Text us, why not?
Or you can email us.
Or just your favourite soup.
I'd be happy with that.
What is your favourite soup?
ah i don't really like soup i anything with croutons anything with croutons that's nothing to do with the soup though is it that's just putting croutons in the soup yeah but listen what next quickly a record or something a trail a record the shins the shins how about that turn me on yeah turn on me
You can fake it for a while But you don't even smile Like every mother does in love with your child But it starts to leakin' out Black spittle from a cloud A mask resentment melting ounce and pound Are you entertaining any doubts?
Cause you had to know that I was fond of you Fond of who I owe you Though I knew your mask cut his dent
I can see the change was just too hard for us Hard for us You always have to hold the reins For a minute you just don't know the way
Do surf actions fade away?
And do adults just learn to play the most ridiculous repulsive games?
All our favorite ruddy songs and the double-barreled guns You'd better hurry, rabbit, run, run, run Cuz mittin' here is fun And there's a lot of hungry hollers And this was said on takin' it over The brittle thumb stems, they break before the band
One of them And the tears are never meant Cause you had to eat for me so long ago Boy I still don't know I don't know why and I don't care Hardly anymore Have you always seen yourself hating me?
Hating me When I was so much more than fair But then you'd have to live those feelings back
Got you scared You're all that cold, I Never once cared, I did
So I took your lips at the time And a chance like that is just so hard to do, hard to do
Yeah, that was the shins with Turn On Me.

What in the world is happening?
What in the world could this be?
I'm on the verge of an awakening A new kind of strength for me I feel a force I've never felt before I don't wanna fight it anymore
Ignored, I burst, ouch, I'm transformed Rising up, shaking it off The yesterday tragedy Graceful and strong
Don't be surprised This change is my design I'll kill a force I've never felt before I don't wanna fight it anymore
I burst out, I transform I feel a force I've never felt before I can't hold it down, I've just got to soar And laugh in the face that is both true I burst out, I transform
I feel a force I've never felt before I don't want to fight it anymore Feeling so strong can be ignored I burst out, I'm transformed I feel a force I've never felt before I can't hold it down, I've just got to go And laugh in the face that is both true

Hmm.
Yeah, that's Susie Sue with Into a Swan.
Now I got invited to be a Facebook friend, an old friend of ours, Joe, yesterday.
Susie?
Yeah, remember Susie?
Yeah.
Used to go out with Lou.
Yeah.
And she calls herself Susie Sue.
Really?
Yeah, but I thought, well, it's actually Susie Sue.
Do you know what I mean?
No.
Well, I thought it was like the lady that used to be in Susie and the Banshees.
Oh, I see.
You thought she was inviting you to be friends.
Yeah.
And Susie, our friend, apologized for using the moniker.
She said, I know it's a bit cheesy, but this is what I'm masquerading as in the Facebook world, would you be my friend?
And nice as it was to hear from her, I was a little bit disappointed.
That she would use that moniker?
That it wasn't the actual Susie Sue.
But then I felt embarrassed.
Why would Suzy Su ever want to be friends with me on Facebook?
Quite right.
But that's a great new single there.
It's new material from Suzy Su.
It's called Into a Swan.
This is BBC 6 Music.
You're listening to Adam and Jo.
It's time for an exciting new feature.
We're trying to give our show some structure despite the terrible restrictions placed on competitive things in the BBC currently.
So we've invented a brilliant new non-competitive segment of the show which we're calling Text the Nation.
it's a little bit like Test the Nation.
Yeah that show on the BBC and we're kind of it's like Adam Robinson and Joe Scofield.
Yeah and now there's of course quite a good chance that around about 150 other radio stations also have a feature called Text the Nation but we're going to ignore that fact for the time being and plow on.
Today what we wanted you to text in to us about was this.
What's the best thing you ever found
and what's the worst thing you ever lost you're talking about stuff you find like on the street on the street yeah just randomly like it or if you're you know on a plane or something there's a clear distinction between finding stump something and stealing something isn't there yeah there is okay
No, but there is a grey area.
For instance, if something... Do you remember we did this once before in a phoning?
And there was somebody who claimed that anything on the floor anywhere is public property.
So even if it falls off a shelf in a shop, if it's on the floor... And apparently there is a legal stipulation that says that.
A little bit like squatters rights.
Yeah, just the floor generally, like the beach, is just public property and anything that's on it
That would be your legal defence if you got caught shoplifting.
It was on the floor.
And I found a Mary J. Blige CD on the street.
Literally street music.
It was slightly scratched.
I bought it home.
It played perfectly.
Was it in the case and everything?
Nope.
It was just a loose CD.
It was her first album.
Wow.
I wonder if that was...
the result of some kind of argument.
Do you know what I'm saying?
And maybe the man or the lady snatched the CD from the player at a certain point in the argument and lobbed it dramatically out of the window like a flying saucer.
I think it's because her music is so urban and so streety that it grows out of the cracks between paving stones like a kind of urban fungus.
Right.
Like a mushroom.
So it was a naturally... A modern mushroom.
Naturally occurring soul hip hop phenomenon.
And you just bent down and plucked it?
It's like you might pick mushrooms in the autumn.
You can go out and pluck the new Mary J. Blige CD off the streets of Brixton.
Do you think that happens with Mike Skinner's stuff as well?
It just grows.
Yeah, but that grows in North London, doesn't it?
I was saying that in trustafarian areas.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Where's he from Mike Skinner?
He lives in Brixton, I think.
Does he?
Yeah, originally he's from somewhere like Birmingham or Leeds, I can't remember.
But anyway, so yes, text us.
We'd like to hear stories about the best thing you found and also the worst thing you've lost, the thing that you were most gutted to lose, not just your keys yesterday, but like an item that had real sentimental value or was very important to you.
So I guess it could be your keys, but there has to be some anecdote attached to it.
examples here Adam Buxton things I've lost now you're putting me on the spot a little bit do you watch we play a track while you think of something yeah okay here's a track that you thought of this idea leave me down the embarrassing alleyway here's a track that encapsulates many of my feelings about this I was actually inspired by me wanting just to play this track to be honest with you Joe
This is by The Divine Comedy and it's from, I think their album, Resurrection.
But hang on, before we play the track, we should say text 64046 with your suggestions of the most precious thing you've ever lost and the most valuable thing you've ever found.
64046.
It's not called resurrection, is it?
Is it a restoration?
Oh.
You chose it.
Is it Restoration?
Regeneration!
I'm the big loser.
It's a good track though.
Is it by?
It's by Divine Comedy and it's called Lost Property.
It's got wonderful lyrics all about this very thing.
Postcards and letters T-shirts and sweaters
Passports and pockets Mobiles and chargers Two tennis rackets Blue wristlet packets A new sheepskin jacket
I have tried to call mine But I just cannot see
Mental kind, they were mine, now they're not.
Jenkinson trainers, I smell him hitting
Champax and Twitter Seek life's dark hardest Antibiotics The holes in my pockets are lost
Is to know Just where do those lost things go When they slip from my hands Then one night
I passed through the sheepskin screen To a green desert land I found them all piled up into the sky
you
Oh, that was lovely.
It's good, isn't it?
Shall I do a little bit of name dropping, Joe?
Go on.
Would you like me to?
Yeah.
One of my happiest musical memories is watching Neil Hannon from The Divine Comedy playing that track on his acoustic guitar in the Chateau Marmont in LA, sat next to Jason Faulkner, a wonderful musician also, used to be in the band Jellyfish, is now a great solo musician in his own right.
Jason then went on to play Song From Under the Floorboards on the acoustic by magazine.
There's a little bit of name dropping music for you.
A little bit.
So we're in the middle of an exciting, it's not a competition, it's a sort of text happening.
Yeah.
A text event, we're calling it text the nation.
It's just a sort of a survey type thing, what can't you believe?
Can't believe we're here.
I think many other people think the same thing.
And the thing we've asked you to text us about is the coolest thing you've found, stroke, the most tragic thing that you've lost.
And we've had quite a lot of texts, but before we go to them, let me give you the text number.
It's 64046.
And Adam, why don't you tell us about the thing, the event that inspired you to think of this marvellous text conversation.
Well I sort of admitted before that it was partly the desire just to hear that Divine Comedy track but also I was thinking about a time as a youngster living in Earl's Court when I was about 12 or maybe 11 and I found a little
bottle a kind of little jar magic magic jar in the street in the street right hmm and it was sort of silver and it had a lightning strike down the side Wow and I believe Harry Potter exactly and I thought I found some kind of magic potion
and it had some stuff inside it and luckily I didn't go home and imbibe any of this.
I was terrified.
Did you open it?
No, I didn't open it, no.
I found out years later of course that what I had found was a popper, a little bottle of amyl nitrate.
which is a sort of drug that's used on a club scene.
Well yeah, gentlemen that love gentlemen use it to familiarise themselves in an intimate fashion.
Because it was relaxing properties.
But I of course didn't use it but I looked back years later and realised that's what I had found.
But I was so excited about it, you know, I kept it for ages because I really thought maybe it had some kind of magical properties.
In a way I was right.
But I never found out about those magical properties.
It's capable of opening up a magical world.
Until years later.
So that would be one amazing thing that I found.
A door to another world.
I was talking to Joe earlier on about whether he'd actually ever found any items of clothing.
Because clothing is a big thing that
Well this is quite shocking listeners because it appears that Adam Buxton just picks up bits of clothes off the street, takes them home, washes them and wears them.
Twice I've done it.
I think pretty much everybody every now and then comes across a hat or a jumper just hung on a railing.
A scarf.
A scarf is all damp.
If you found a really nice scarf it was a little bit damp.
All it needed was a little wash, pop it in the washing box and then you got a scarf!
What's wrong with that?
What is wrong with that?
It just makes you a pair of gloves.
Come on listen and then it's being recycled and then and then someone else's little personal tragedy of losing those gloves has turned into a victory.
You're right.
There's something beautiful about it.
Listen if you listeners have got a brilliant story of something that you found in the street that you know proved wonderful for you or something tragic that that you lost in the street text us 64046
And after the next record, we'll be reading some of your responses out.
There's something to look forward to, eh?
Yeah, now here's Amy Winehouse.
She's a girl that gets a hard time, I think.
Well, she gives herself a hard time by drinking the magic bottle.
But so what if she's not hurting anyone else apart from herself?
She's hurting herself.
Nanny state, innit?
I thought you were anti the nanny state.
Well, I just think she should calm down.
Really?
Yeah.
She's still a very talented lady, though.
Here's a track called Tears Dry on Their Own.
All I can ever be to you is the darkness that we know and this regret I got a custom to.
Once you walked the ride when we were at our high, waiting for you in the hotel at night.
I knew I had him at my match, but every moment we get snatched.
I don't know why I got so attached.
It's my responsibility to get our own nothing to make, but to walk away, I have no progressive taste.
He walks away.
The sun goes down.
He takes the day, but I'm grown.
And in your way, in this blue shade, my tears drop.
I don't understand, why do I stress the man When there's so many real things at hand We could have never had it all
We had to hit a wall, so this is never to fall withdrawal.
Even if I stop wanting you, that perspective pushes through.
I'll be some next man's other woman, so.
I can't afraid myself again.
I should just be my own best friend.
I put myself in the head with Superman.
He walks away.
The sun goes down.
He takes the day, but I'm gone.
In your way, in this blue shade, my tears die on their own.
So we are history, the shadows call, the sky above.
He walks away, the sun goes down.
He takes the day, but I won't.
In your way, in this blue shade, my tears die on their own.
I wish I could say no regrets, no emotions, no days.
Cause that's a kiss goodbye to sunset.
So we are history.
The shadow covers me.
The sky above a black lonely lover's seat.
He walks away.
The sun goes down.
He takes the day, but I won't.
And in your way, my flu changed my tears.
The sun goes down, he takes me but I am grown And in your way, my teeth shave, my teeth dry on their own He walks away, the sun goes down, he takes me but I'm grown And in your way, my teeth shave, my teeth dry
Fantastic, that's Amy Winehouse with tears dry on their own.
Let's hope she cleans up and recovers because she's so very talented and it's, you know, bad that she's in a bad state, right Adam?
It's quite an impassioned... That was man, I was really impressed by that.
She might be listening.
Yeah.
Maybe that'll get through her beehive.
Exactly.
Into her bonts.
In her diary she'll write, listening to six music this morning, Joe Cornish made a very impassioned plea for me to get my act together.
You know what?
I think I'm gonna.
I'm gonna.
That's what she'd write as well.
Exactly.
Gonna.
Gonna.
With two N's and she would clean up her act thereafter and it would be an important watershed.
However, every song she wrote after that would be rubbish.
Oh, that's life, eh?
This is Adam and Jo.
This is BBC 6 Music.
We're running an extraordinary text.
It's not a competition, it's a happening called Text the Nation.
And we're making sure we say that name every time we talk about it.
We're asking you the most extraordinary thing you've ever lost or found and we've been overwhelmed by text responses.
Shall I read some of them out, Adam?
Would you?
Yeah, here we go.
Morning Adam and Joe, the best thing I ever found was a £20 note floating down the river.
No.
Yeah that sounds spurious doesn't it?
This is from Drew in Weymouth.
The worst thing I've lost has to be my Star Wars t-shirt.
Drew we believe the t-shirt but 20 pound notes floating down rivers.
I believe it.
Do you?
Yeah why would he make it up?
Why would a 20 pound note be floating down a river?
Maybe it just floated off a gangster.
A pirate!
Naughty Box Charlie.
He'd been thrown in the river by Guy Ritchie and his henchmen and some of the booty that he'd stolen off Jimmy the Wiffle came out of his wallet.
Wow, this is very involved.
So you found one of the £20 notes from
Ahem, movie's just gone.
Ryan in Kentish town.
I found the 1000th edition of Blues and Soul magazine in Camden in a bar.
It was a coincidence because I'm a Blues and Soul fan.
That's good.
That's good.
Are you sure that wasn't just someone else's copy?
or a copy owned by the bar.
I think that's theft.
We're reporting both of these texts to the police.
The next one, I found an amazing Michel Negrin necklace.
I can only assume he's a designer or she in the road outside a public school in my town after parking the car.
Turns out it was worth 80 quid.
Now that's an anonymous one, but obviously that belonged to someone in the school, so rather than taking it into the school, turning it into a lost profit, lost property office, this anonymous texter merely took it to the local pawn shop and got 80 knicker for it.
Well, this is the thing, isn't it?
I mean, sometimes it's very clear that you should hand the thing in that you've found, you know what I mean?
If you find somebody's wallet, their details are in there, it's a no-brainer.
You give it to the cops and they hopefully get their stuff back.
Money belongs to the Queen.
Right.
And you should send it back to her.
Yeah, or a member of Queen.
Okay, one more before we go to a record Dave says when I was six in Australia I found a lump of gold on the beach.
Hey nice one.
Yeah, is that true?
I'd like to find out how big the lump of gold was because it could have just been like a tiny lump of sand You know what?
I would like now Joe is to hear some kind of Harry Hill based Trail for a program or something.
Your wish is my command BBC six music
It has long been rumoured in showbiz circles that there was once a game of Top Trumps between Morrissey, Bruce Forsythe, Roland Ratt and Adolf Hitler.
Well, there was one other at the Green Bay's table that night.
None other than I, Harry Hill.
I have remained silent for too long and at last tell my story in the world premiere of my long-awaited concept album, the story of the first meeting of the International Recipe Card Top Trump Society.
On 6Music, Bank Holiday Monday from 3.
Picture yourself in the living room
Your pipe and slippers set out for you I know you think that it ain't too far But I, I hear a call of a lifetime rain Of a need to get up for air Oh, you cut out the middleman You're free from the middleman You got no time for the messenger
Got no regard for the thing that you don't understand You got no fear of the other dog That's why you will not survive
I wanna forget how convention fits But can I get out from under it?
Can I cut it out of me?
It can't all be wet and caked It can't all be boiled away I tried but I can't let go of it Can't let go of it Cause you don't talk to the water boy
and listen what you can learn but you don't wanna know you will not back up and let your blood that's why you will not survive
The thing that I tell you now, it may not go over well.
Oh, it may not be for a while.
No way that I spell it out.
But you won't hear from the messenger.
Don't want to know about something that you don't understand.
You got no fear of the underdog.
I try you, but I'm not.
That's Spoon with The Underdog.
That's my record of the week.
It's their new single.
It's fantastic.
It's from the album Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga.
This is Adam and Jo on Six Music.
And now here's the news read by Harvey and Adrian.
So the top story is at nine.
Britain has some of the worst cancer survival rates in Europe.
That's according to a new study out this morning.
Figures indicate the UK is lagging behind other countries with comparable health budgets.
A two-month-old girl has died after a car came off the road and hit her pushchair on the pavement in northwest London yesterday.
Her mother received minor injuries.
It looks as though the heart of Hurricane Dean will miss the Mexican resort of Cancun.
The category 5 storm is expected to reach the coast at a point where Mexico borders Belize later this morning.
The government is to challenge a ruling that the killer of Philip Lawrence, the headteacher stabbed to death outside his school in West London, can't be deported when he's freed from jail.

Was torn in two More than a little confused Am I here yesterday
And even though I can't forget you, my head won't let you
Adam and Joe on 6music.
You're let loose, you're let loose, you're let loose Stand up, get out, no excuse No excuse, no excuse What's that coming over the hill?
Is it a monster?
Is it a monster?
Coming over the hill, is it a monster?
Is it a monster?
What's that coming over the hill?
Confused, my first, it seeks out It seeks out, it seeks out
Is it a
What's that coming over the hill?
Is it a monster?
Is it a monster?
What's that coming over the head?
Is it a monster?
I think it was a monster.
That was Monster by Automatic and before that we had Edwin Collins with You'll Never Know.
That was a new track from Edwin Collins.
I love the sound of that.
Yes, good man.
Does that mean a new Collins album on the horizon?
What a lovely man as well.
Seriously ill quite recently, right?
That was Edwin, wasn't it?
Yeah, he's okay now.
Yeah, but he's recovered fully.
Thank goodness.
Years ago, we used to have a program on Channel 4 and we had a segment called Vinyl Justice where we went around to pop stars houses and kind of rifled through their record collections and we did Edwin, didn't we?
Absolutely.
We had a really good afternoon.
He was such a nice man.
Yeah, he was really nice pulled out like loads of amazing orange juice rarities for us because he knew we were big fans.
And the thing I love most about orange juice being a kind of a hip hop and R&B fan is that they merge kind of guitar pop and soul.
Yeah, better than I think any other rock band ever.
And certainly when when they first came out was it in the early 80s or the late 70s orange juice that kind of Scottish postcard music label scene that no one else was doing that kind of thing at all in the post-punk times then and they they were very much going against the grain.
Which is always a good thing to do, I think, Joe.
Go against the grain, I hate the grain.
I hate the grain too.
Whichever way the grain's going, I go the opposite direction.
Same here, same here.
Absolutely, absolutely.
We're Adam and Joe, this is BBC6 Music.
We're in the middle of an exciting kind of text event where we're asking you what the most amazing things you've ever lost and found are.
Okay, this was your idea, Adam Buxton.
I was just remembering that one time, one of the worst things I lost, again, when I was little, when things like that, you know, the older and wiser you get, of course, you realise that material things
You shouldn't lose that much sleep.
They come and go.
The most important things in life are... I was going to say something filthy, but you know, other spiritual things.
But when you're younger... What are you talking about?
I don't know.
When you're younger, you don't realize that.
And once I lost this thing called the Mighty Men and Monster Maker... Did I ever tell you about this joke?
No.
And it was a plastic gizmo that I got from a trip to America one time and
You would put little templates.
It was a bit like brass rubbing, right?
With these little different sections of plastic bits.
So you could combine different combinations of little brass rubbing plates.
Except it wasn't brass, it was just plastic.
And you would make monster pictures, right?
Don't grin at me like that!
It's just you're going into a weird trance.
It's good though, it's exciting.
I don't think anyone understands what you're saying, but it's exciting.
It was a game and it was wicked and I lost it.
I took it to school and I lost it.
I couldn't believe it.
I lost it.
But then, a couple of days later, right?
You found it?
I saw it.
I saw it with this guy, with this bloke.
No, someone had stolen it.
Well, I said to him, hey, you've got the Mighty Men and Monster Maker.
He's like, yeah, it's pretty cool, isn't it?
It's like, yeah, I know it's pretty cool.
It's mine.
and he said no it's not I got one I said where'd you get it from then from Woolies you can't get them in Woolies I got it from the States in the American States that's the only place you can get that he's like oh yeah that's Woolies in the States my aunt bought it back.
Woolies does exist in the States.
Yeah so anyway I knew this guy was lying I knew for a fact there was no question.
Do you remember his name?
He just half inched it David Bradford
Is that true?
Uh, no.
Um, and he, he just, he nicked, he nicked this thing from me.
There was no question.
So here I went a step further.
Here's what I did, right?
Is this morally right?
That night I creep, crept into, uh, creep, creeped it.
The room I crop, I cropped into the classroom where I knew this guy was stashing the mighty men and monster maker.
And I scratched my initials onto the underneath.
The next day, I went and I said, Oh, I just remembered.
I scratched my name into that when I first got it.
It's on the underneath.
Flip it over.
Take a look.
my initials and he he was totally busted and he's and he said oh right okay well so he did that proved that he did steal them yeah but in his reaction exactly so i was right there was no question i was right but was that right to do a little evidence i don't know the one thing i do know is we now no longer have any time for any listener responses to our competition because you've taken the whole thing talking about yourself
Well listen, let's have one of your free choices then, Joe, and then after that we can have some more of the text.
Yeah, we'll have some text.
Alright, this is my free choice.
No particular reason, it just popped up on my iPod the other day and I realised how much I like it.
This is Dexys Midnight Runners with Let's Make This Precious.
you
Do you really?
Yes, I know that I see So do you But first bear your heart So grant your soul Oh there's triumph, there's triumph, there's triumph Let's make this pressure
I'm a nearer I think so Just nearer Of course, of course But still, we're fast pushing on to it Automation Everything has a vision Now you're talking Then let's face it
A struggle, a guidance, somehow I think I'm through
And I'm gonna turn it up.
Thank you very much
They did it, they did make it precious.
Absolutely they did.
What a great record, I love that record.
It sounds like a bunch of dockers, like in the middle of a very hard day of welding, who suddenly decide to make something precious.
I think we probably will and they all start doing it.
It's like an amazing Musical but they didn't that were they in there.
Is that from to Riley?
Yeah, I think it's certainly that era So it was a b-side wasn't it of one of their big singles or was it even a single?
I don't know.
We don't know anything about music
So at that point they were all looking like kind of jolly travelling folk.
Yeah, dungarees, leather jackets, red scarfs tied round their necks.
Exactly, chimney sweeps.
Jolly chimney sweeps.
They actually went through a phase where they did look like stevedores, you know, like dockers and stuff.
Yeah.
What a great band.
Anyway.
Look, they should reform.
Get back together.
Come on.
I think they probably have, haven't they?
I don't know.
So it's time for some listener input to our exciting text event where we're asking you the most exciting things that you've lost and found.
Are you ready for some more text, Adam?
Yes, please.
Okay, here we go.
The best thing I found on the street was an enamel badge from the 1977 FA Cup final.
I feel sorry for the guy who lost it after 30 years.
So that was recently, he's saying he found it this year.
hmm that's good man I found a little badge a little button badge one time with the word knickers on it in pink and I really loved the badge you know and I wore it for about three years and then I lost it so I was gutted it was strange you know passed through my life but what a good time French filmmaker will make a film about that badge hmm
Le niquer.
Le niquer.
Le page de niquer.
Le pant.
OK, here's another one.
There's some silly ones I'm going to have to skip past.
In the mid-80s, I rounded a corner in Finchbury Park to find a pair of red patent leather sequined platforms in mid-pavement.
A Cinderella moment, says Dom.
That's quite magical, isn't it?
They must have been magical in some way.
Absolutely, left by some sort of witch or other.
Again, that's like some sort of French film or maybe a Bjork video or something.
And does Dom say what he did with him?
Did he step into him and dance away?
No, Dom's a very elliptical, mysterious man or woman.
No one will ever know about Dom.
Wow.
Here's somebody called Paul Mertog.
Is that how you say it, Paul, in Glasgow?
Not Paul Merton.
Not Paul Merton.
I found a Neolithic flint hand axe when I was on a job in Antrim.
I'm an archaeologist.
That's kind of your job though, isn't it?
Paul, that's what you do.
I did lose a great woolly hat once.
Cheers, Paul.
Thanks, Paul.
No nonsense.
Lost my shoes at primary school.
This is from Tommy in Broxbon.
Lost my shoes at primary school.
Got picked up by mum.
Couldn't explain why I was in socks.
Still can't.
That's highly traumatic.
To be shoeless at primary school is a sort of primal Freudian thing.
yeah that's like dreaming it's the sort of thing you dream about yeah being naked yeah or yeah or being in bed in the middle of i'm glad you've got this out tommy sharing this with with the six music listenership will be therapeutic for you uh think something he's found tommy's found he was buying a suit for a fancy dress an abe lincoln suit for his 21st birthday party from a charity shop
Spent £5 on the suit, found a tenner in the pocket.
Nice!
Ka-ching!
£5 up mate, £5 profit.
Sweet, free suit.
Free suit, exactly.
That's great.
I think those are the best of our texts.
Keep texting in if you'd like.
The text number is 64046.
The best things that you've lost and found.
Do you want a quite depressing one just to end up with?
Go on then.
No, here's an upbeat one.
I found a beautiful husband in a bar in Bar Italia in Soho in 2005.
I've still got him, says Lizzie.
Isn't that nice?
This one about someone getting divorced and losing their whole family.
But we learned that on a beat note.
OK, it's trail time.
On BBC Two, Bruce Perry travels to some of the furthest corners of the earth to become one of the tribe.
Wow, what a reception.
And they all look like they're waving.
Rarely do I get the whole village turning out.
They're not waving at all.
They're slapping the bugs.
In the first of a new series, he spends a month with the Matisse in the remote western Amazon.
This is potentially very dangerous.
I've just been told to get down.
Tribe begins tonight at 9 on BBC Two.

This is Adam and Jo on 6music.
We're filling in for Shaun Keithney if you're wondering what we're doing here and why Shaun's not here.
He'll be back in a couple of weeks.
He's in Italy, yeah.
I was so annoyed to miss Gruff Rhys at the Green Man Festival on the weekend.
I was at the Green Man Festival, it rained really hard so I had to leave.
Gruff Rhys was on the Sunday.
I saw him last year though, he was amazing.
Do you know what he does?
Do you know what he does?
He sings songs.
He sings songs but he does a thing where he does live looping.
Have you ever seen anybody do that?
So you play a couple of instruments, record them, loop it and then play along to what you've just played.
So just one guy and a couple of instruments, he builds up a whole track just with looping.
human beatboxers who do that on the net, there's loads of those kinds of videos and it's amazing, it's the kind of thing you'd expect Radiohead would probably do.
You know, Gruffrice was so good at it because presumably if you make one little slip then you have to live with it for the rest of the track because it loops and loops, you've got to be completely precise.
He was a genius.
He is, he's an amazing man.
Okay then, so we're going to continue now with our amazing text competition where we're asking you to tell us about things that you've lost and found.
You ready for some more, Adam Buxton?
Go on then.
Are we going to wrap this up now?
Yeah, this is our final little lot of... these are emails.
Yeah.
This is one from Joe.
He says, I lost when I was around 10, brackets, the age.
Yeah.
I think he's saying that ten is a very psychologically important age.
Things that happen to you at that age tend to stick with you.
That's true.
And scar you.
He lost a near-completed game of Pokemon Yellow, bracket's great game, and a special yellow Game Boy.
And he lost them in a rental Mitsubishi Shogun.
This was bad enough, but then, when we packed our cases ready to leave for the airport, we saw the very car that we'd rented drive past, presumably with the lost things in it, and a whole different family in it.
Unsurprisingly, my children tears did not subside.
It's a slightly creepy way to describe your tears, Joe.
But I can just picture that.
Another family, was there another child with horrible jammy fingers playing your yellow Pokemon game?
The young Adolf Hitler staring from the window of the car, leering as he enjoyed your game.
Wow.
Okay, here's another one from Michael Folds.
Who's the name?
His name is Folds.
Adam and Joe.
Great to hear you both on the radio.
When I was at primary school, aged five or six, I had a Mr. Happy Eraser.
I haven't read this one ahead, by the way.
So who knows what's gonna happen.
It might stop in the middle.
I had a Mr. Happy Eraser, or Rubber, as we called him in those days, before it became a minefield of innuendo and silly sniggering and became too hard.
Fna, Fna, Hee Hee, etc.
Double brackets.
This is pushing my abilities to read punctuation.
There was a parenthesis there, and now I've lost the emphasis, which I was very happy with.
Full stop.
Anyone following this?
No.
Then one day another boy in my class decided to claim it as his own.
Okay, let's recap.
Mr Happy Rubber lost it, boy claimed it as his own.
I told him that it was ridiculous to make such a claim as I'd had it for ages.
Anyway, this went on until the teacher intervened and decided to take it away from us saying that no one could have it.
I'm sure nowadays that's known as- oh.
What were you doing in that Gruff Rhys trap?
I'm collapsing.
You were just having fun listening to Gruff Rhys being a genius.
I'm giving up on that email.
Michael Faulds, I'm sure that was brilliant, but I'm incapable of reading your grammar in a comprehensible manner.
Listen, thank you very much indeed to everyone who emailed and texted us in on that subject.
We'll be texting the nation again tomorrow, here on 6music, but until then, here's one from Jose Gonzalez.
I'm going to carry on talking until he starts singing, because that's the kind of thing that DJs do.
What if it's an instrumental?
No, it's not an instrumental.
I can see here at the BBC exactly how much time I've got before I crash the vocal.
You thought that was him singing.
I can carry on chatting in this kind of way right up until the moment that Jose starts singing the song, which is called Down the Line, and here it is.
I wash the dirt off of your hands Doing the same mistake twice Making the same mistake twice Come on over, don't be so caught It's not about compromising
I see darkness down the line I know it's not fine Don't watch the dirt off of your hands You're doing the same mistake twice Making the same mistake twice
We're so caught up It's all about open eyes I see problems down the line I know they're not mine Don't let the darkness eat you up
Well now we're going to have to crash the track after your amazing intro.
We're now crashing the vocal because we've got to go to the news at half past nine, read by Adrian and Harvey.
And in Six Music News, Docatee to face the judge, could the Virgin Megastores be flogged off and Kanye's secret gig?
Just after 9.30, I'm Harvey Cook.
Britain has some of the worst cancer survival rates in Europe.
That's according to a new study.
Figures indicate the UK is lagging behind other countries with comparable health budgets.
The report's author is Professor Ian Cunkler.
If, for example, we look at the comparison with Finland, they seem to be achieving a better survival than we do for an equivalent level of an expenditure.
And I think what we need to do is to look very carefully at how we use expensive resources.
Also making six music news this morning, a two-month-old girl has died after a car came off the road and hit her pushchair on the pavement in northwest London yesterday.
Her mother received minor injuries to the car's driver.
He's being questioned by police.
It looks as though the heart of Hurricane Dean will miss the Mexican holiday resort of Cancun.
The Category 5 storm is expected to reach the coast where Mexico borders Belize later this morning.
The government's set to challenge a ruling that the killer of Philip Lawrence, the headteacher stabbed to death outside his school in West London, can't be deported when he's freed from jail.
The asylum and immigration tribunal said the human rights of Italian-born Learco Cendano would be breached if he were sent back.
Well, Mr Lawrence's widow has condemned the decision.
Here's the House Minister Tony McNulty.
We're saying that with rights come responsibilities, and if you transgress UK law,
whilst here as a foreign national, then I think effectively you forfeit the right to remain resident in the UK, and that's the case that we will continue to argue with the tribunal as we take it to appeal.
Police investigation teams are starting a detailed search of the rubble of a hotel in Cornwall which was destroyed by fire at a weekend.
Two people are still missing after the place at the Penhallow Hotel in Newquay on Saturday.
Popular cartoon characters are being used to promote fatty, sugary and salty foods to kids, according to the consumer magazine, which
It says characters from Shrek, Bratz, The Simpsons and Pink Panther are among the familiar faces helping to market unhealthy foods.
And the weather, heavy showers in southeast England today and along eastern coasts, elsewhere cloudy and breezy, but with some sunny spells developing in western areas like Northern Ireland, Wales and the West Country.
Looking highs of 21 degrees in London, 20 in Manchester and 19 degrees in Belfast.
Now with 6 Music News, Adrian Larkin.
BBC, Six Music.
Pete Ockety will appear before magistrates again today.
The baby shambles man has been held overnight in a cell after police pulled him over in a car yesterday morning on suspicion of carrying drugs.
The case today is related to a breach of bail conditions.
Let's talk today that Virgin Megastore here in the UK could be put up for sale.
That's after 11 stores in the US were sold off.
Six Music's Ruth Barnes has more.
All the American stores have been bought by related companies, whose president called the acquisition a tremendous opportunity for the company.
But it puts into question whether the 65 Virgin megastores in the UK, which are the last to be wholly owned by Virgin, will go too.
They suffered a loss of £126 million in the 12 months up to March 2006.
However, Richard Branson remains tight-lipped on the issue, saying only that the Virgin Group will continue to focus on being a global leader.
And finally Kanye West delivered the first Vodafone secret gig in the capital last night.
His performance at the Central Hall in Westminster follows gigs from the likes of Kasabian and Maximo Park.
Craig David and Rihanna were there to catch all the action.
Kanye had a 20 strong female orchestra with him.
This is what some fans made of it.
I thought it was brilliant.
I mean the orchestra was brilliant with all the different colours.
It looked really good.
I loved his new songs.
I think if he probably chugged out a few more of his old tunes, it would have been a lot more of an enjoyable concert.
Wrongo.
When he did that, he did it the normal version and then he did like acoustic.
Pretty sure it's good.
That's Six Music News, your next bulletins at 10.30.
There's live music this morning from Blue States and we dispense more social advice in the Everyday Guide to etiquette.
Join me, Gideon Coe, after Adam and Joe from 10.
Six Music.
Just for you, he's a love song Just for you, he's a love song And it makes time to say It's been a lovely day and it's okay
Just for you, he is a love soul Just for you, he is a love soul And if he's trying to say, it's been an ugly day, then it's okay
It's okay
That was The Damned with Love Song.
This is Adam and Jo on BBC6 Music.
We're entering the last 22 minutes of our tenure here this morning but we'll be back tomorrow morning from 7.
It's time for our album track of the day or album of the day or track from the album of the day, right?
And today it's from MIA.
Now tell me what you know about MIA, Adam Buxton.
She is a young lady and she's angry and with you.
With me?
Yeah because of all the stuff you said and she's furious about it.
That's all true.
Mainly the album is about that.
That's all true.
I've been reading one or two articles about her because she's been doing a lot of publicity and you can correct me if I'm wrong listeners but I think her dad was a Tamil tiger or someone you know involved in some kind of underground political group
Which makes her, well that's quite exciting isn't it?
Other famous singers in the R&B world with activist parents include, what about Tupac Shakur?
Wasn't his mum a Black Panther?
I think so.
Anyway, her real name is Maya, Arul Pragasam.
Her new album, Carla.
Maya, surely.
Well maybe, depends.
MIA?
Maybe.
Her new album, Carla, named after her mother.
He can never admit it, he can never admit it.
It's about, what, I've lost my train of thought now.
The album's named after her mother and you can hear further tracks from this album throughout the day.
So here we go, this is by, what's she called?
Maya.
Yeah, this is called, the track's called Jimmy.
Jimmy gone MIA.
Come back Jimmy.
But I don't know what you're saying Get me your name, can you fit me in some game?
Are you coming or are you going?
Are you leaving or are you staying?
You tell me that you're busy You're loving with me crazy I know that you hear me start acting like you want me You tell me that you're busy You're loving with me crazy I know that you hear me start acting like you want me
I know I
That's very good.
What's going on there?
That's brilliant though isn't it?
Yeah what did she say at the end?
Jimmy I love to hear you sing.
I hope you heard me sing or something.
I don't know.
There's moments in there where she's on the very edge of just screeching in a quite annoying way.
But it ends up being quite good.
But she keeps pulling it back.
She does.
She keeps it the right side of annoying and what some very very fast fiddle playing.
Yeah.
Speedy fiddle fiddleizing.
Sort of almost a Turkish kind of sound there.
Yeah.
Or you know Arabic sounding.
Anyway, that's our tip for the top.
That's our album of the day.
The album's called Carla by Maya and the tracks called Jimmy.
That's good, man.
I'm going to see if I can steal a copy of that from someone.
Why don't you just buy it?
No, I want to steal it.
Music doesn't sound good to me unless it's stolen.
Fair enough.
This is the BBC 6 music.
We're Adam and Joe filling in for Sean Keeney.
It's just coming up to quarter to ten.
What next?
I'm feeling a bit more sprightly than I was yesterday.
Yesterday I got to about nine o'clock and I was in real tired trouble.
Yesterday was a difficult day for us listeners.
We were just getting used to the strange new world of this BBC studio.
What kind of alarm are you using when you wake up these days?
I have an alarm purchased from Heels.
It's called a Carlsen and it glows in the dark.
It's big red LED numbers.
Oh nice.
And it's very good but like most people I usually wake up slightly before the alarm goes off in that weird psychic manner that scientists can't quite figure out what's going on.
And what kind of, have you got the radio on there to wake you up?
No it's just a beeping.
What sort of beeping?
That one.
That one yeah.
I hate that one.
Do you hate it?
What's wrong with that one?
I hate that one and I hate the way it becomes increasingly louder.
Do you?
Yeah I used to have that.
I tell you the thing about Carlsen is you switch it on and off by simply putting pressure on the top of the clock.
That's how you switch me on and off too.
Really?
Yeah.
It's feet are pressure sensitive.
Right.
So all you have to do is just slap it on the head.
Oh same as me.
And it shuts up.
Same as me.
Really?
Yeah.
Really?
Don't try it now.
So tempted to hit you.
Of course you are.
But um no I don't like that.
That sounds brilliant that you can do that.
Really?
But I don't like that alarm sound.
Let's have an alarm clock chat tomorrow.
Okay, yeah, cause I've got the best alarm sound on my phone.
I'm making a note, what's the best?
And it's amazing, it's like I'm happy when I wake up.
It makes such a big difference if you wake up with a bad alarm sound.
And my wife had an alarm that was given to her by her mother as a Christmas present.
And it was the sound of Satan shouting.
Really?
It was awful.
It was absolutely the worst sound you could possibly wake up with.
We could get people to phone in and play their alarm sounds down the phone.
Wouldn't that be brilliant?
Or would it be incredibly annoying?
That's the sort of idea Chris Evans would die for, isn't it?
Yeah.
Okay, well let's do that tomorrow.
Why the heck not?
Now, Rylo Kylie, an amazing band, were here yesterday in the Six Music Hub.
They were playing a session and we have a track right now for you, which was played yesterday.
I don't know why I trailed off there.
My brain just suddenly melted.
This is called The Money Maker.
You've got the money maker You've got the money maker You've got the money maker This is your chance to make it out, out, out Of it You get out, out
Oh there, you got the money maker You got the money maker You got the money maker This is your chance to make it out, out, out Oh there, you get out, out
You are the money maker She is yours for the taking You know you wanna make her Show her your money make She says, oh, oh, oh Hell yeah She says, oh, oh, oh Yeah You get, oh, oh, oh Oh yeah You get, oh, oh
And it's in my hands I will if you want me to
Yeah, she says out, out, out.
Yeah, you get out, out, out of here.
You get out, out.
Rylo Kylie with The Moneymaker.
That was recorded live in the hub yesterday.
There's some genuine live hub applause just to prove it.
That was for Gideon's show.
Genuine enthusiasm there for the Kylies and today in the hub on Gideon Co's programme, Blue States will be playing.
It's quite exciting because as we exit our show, we usually pass the band setting up in the hub, right?
We passed Rylo Kylie yesterday.
I know and I was, I was... You didn't mean much to me but you're the kind of person, Adam Buxton, that might go and try and ingratiate yourself with people like that.
That's correct, I am.
Hello!
I just wanted to say, quite a big fan of your stuff, like the first one.
Last one was a bit disappointing, wasn't it?
What happened there?
Yeah, I love people who's come up and say that sort of thing as if you're gonna go.
Oh, thank goodness Someone's finally being honest with me.
I'm really glad that you didn't like the last thing I did It's so refreshing to hear some absolutely negative criticism Exciting posters stop myself
yes Joe came in today folks with a cardboard roll of posters and he told me that he'd got them from Comic-Con which is yeah the big comics festival in America Comic-Con and this is a roll of posters for forthcoming coming coming for forthcoming blockbusters yes
So look at this one.
I mean, they say that Great Radio is about doing illustrations in the listener's brain, and here's an opportunity to do that, because obviously you can't see these posters.
Poster number one, look at this one.
Wow, they said it would never happen.
It is... This is genuinely exciting.
It's a fedora hat perched on the corner of a crate with a whip, and the crate says property of Dr Jones.
He's back it says underneath.
Memorial Day 2008.
They said it would never happen.
It's a teaser poster for the new Indiana Jones movie.
And so what's the deal?
Is it going to be Harrison Ford in there?
It's Harrison Ford.
Karen Allen's back.
It's Shia LaBeouf.
Is that how you say his name?
Shia LaBeouf from Transformers and Ray Winstone and nobody knows what the title is.
It's something like Indiana Jones and the Lost City of God.
Here's another title for you.
Indiana Jones and the Lost Zimmer Frame because he's so old.
Well done.
Extraordinary business.
Look at this one.
There's a picture of Iron Man.
That's a new film of Iron Man.
No one seems to be very interested in it.
Oh, THE Iron Man.
Right, right, right.
Yeah, Iron Man.
Anybody?
Look, it's like a red bloke.
Is it the same as the Roald Dahl story?
It's being directed by Jon Favreau, who made Zathura and stuff like that.
It's gonna be great.
It's got, you know, what's he called?
The Jeff Bridges in it?
The dude?
Who wrote Iron Man?
Ted Hughes.
No, he's not the Iron Giant.
Not the Iron Giant.
Yeah, that's the Iron Giant, mate.
And go on, give us one more poster.
Have we got time?
One more poster.
I don't know.
What's the most exciting one?
You've got Johnny Depp.
Look at him.
Johnny Depp in Sweeney Todd.
Look at that.
Sweeney Todd.
That is going to be useless.
Sweeney Todd's brilliant.
If it's the musical, it'll be amazing.
The musical's a classic.
He looks cool.
It's a cool poster.
Johnny Depp sat there flashing a little cutthroat razor.
That's enough of the posters.
It's not going to be any good though.
Sweeney Todd with Johnny Depp.
time for a free play right now uh this is one of mine and this is a track called 96 tears by question mark and that's just the symbol of a question mark right and the mysterious check it out
Too many teardrops But what heart to carry on?
You're way on top and Says you left me
Stay downhill And you'll start crying Ninety-six tears Cry Cry And when the sun comes up I'll be on top You'll be right down there Looking up
