Hi, this is Adam.
Hey, this is Joe.
And we are Adam and Joe collectively.
We're like a kind of a doctor team.
That's right.
We come and we help people with their problems.
Yeah.
Which bits of the doctoring do you do, Adam?
I generally stand by next to you while you're working and I shake my head and I go, it doesn't look good.
Yeah, I do all the undressing and touching.
We've both been struck off a number of times.
I ask you to cough.
And then touch you in various places and see what the response is.
Joe does most of the cupping.
We've got a great show coming up for you.
We're going to be talking to my father, Nigel Buxton, aka Bad Dad.
Some of you out there may remember him from the show we used to do on Channel 4.
And he's going to be ranting at us a bit later on.
But that specifically tied in with this morning's Text the Nation, which has grown from a tiny seed
on Monday into one of the strongest trees in the BBC conceptual forest right said yeah absolutely in the ideas would and we we've even amended the jingle uh if you're listening yesterday we unveiled a jingle for text the nation today it's been slightly amended yeah it's a ningle

He's not sure what he should do She's seventeen, he's twenty-two He's not too much of a difference So instead, look what he's done He's found a girl who's thirty-one He's not too much of a difference She's got everything he wants She's got everything he needs
She's got a mate who says, behave, you're not too bad Look twice your age, does that really make any difference?
He's had a few, we've all been there just 17 But he don't care, I don't think he knows the difference Cos she's got everything She's got everything he needs
Change to everything
His mate's found out he feels a fool They saw her on the bus to school, should that really make any difference?
What would her dad say if he knew she's on her knees?
He's 22, I don't think he'd like the difference Does that really make any difference?
She's got everything
yeah that's good isn't it take her back by the pigeon detectives this is element Joe here on six music from the BBC the big British the BBC the bastion of British
content content yeah yes there's a list of all the contents of Britain here within the walls of the BBC hey I've just been reading some emails we've had overnight don't forget you can email us at Adam and Joe is it at six music now

Text-A-Nation feature, that's what you were reaching for?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Which is incidentally coming up at around 8.30 today, so stay tuned.
Is that the best time for it?
At what time, Lisa, our producer, does listening peak for this show?
I'd imagine a lot of people leave for work at about 8.30.
Or is that good?
Do they get in their cars?
Well, it's summer holidays at the minute, isn't it?
It is summer holidays.
What a sick joke.
What happened to the summer?
Exactly.
But do you know what?
Actually, most of Britain is beautiful today.
Is it?
Apart from the south east, yeah.
There's just a big cloud hanging over London to punish it for being a contemporary Sodom and Gomorrah.
Exactly, for being a giant sewer.
But I did check the 15-day weather forecast yesterday.
Did you?
I didn't know they could do it that far in advance.
You can do it a hundred days in advance.
Can you really?
It's entirely inaccurate.
It's speculative.
It's mainly wishful.
Yeah.
Although sometimes the 15 day forecast is not bad and the one I checked yesterday.
What did it say?
It said yesterday that today's this morning's bad cloud weather will give way to bouts of happy sunshine.
Oh happy sunshine.
Sometimes obstructed by cloud but mainly happy.
It's going to be nice in London for the weekend anyway.
Not that anybody else listening who's not in London cares, but it's going to be nice for the carnival, the London carnival of violence that will happen this weekend.
Stabfest, they call it.
I'm pretty sure they don't call it stabfest.
They don't call it that, I do.
And then it's going to get even better the week after that.
Is it really?
According to my wishful 15 day forecast.
So this is like a sort of trough, but it's going to peak.
Absolutely, yeah.
We're through the worst of it folks.
We're kind of saving up for amazing weather.
Yeah.
Sleeper what are you what are your memories of the band Sleeper and and there was a lady what sung for them Louise Wenner She was around the place when they were around the place.
She used to turn up on TFI Friday the whole time That's right.
People would cheer their socks off.
Well, she was she was a bright and intelligent young woman.
She's a novelist now, right?
She wrote a novel.
She's written several novels.
Severn Severn that oh man still very early.
This is called.
What do I do now?
And quickly she came dressed up for fame Riding her puffin' downstairs Makeup like glue, she duds round the room To the sound of a quarter-life blast
It's go to town, taxis all round We can stop by a couple of booze He looks at it all, staff oars a yawn She tries not to look like she cares What do I do now?
Are we going home?
Damn, what did I do wrong?
I thought we had a soul to add the other day Maybe I'm just stupid, can't we try again?
No one told me it was raining Can't fix a crap, it worked too I'm nearby, can't watch a copy of those
Glass, they walk home at last Reaching for each other's hands Nothing is said, it goes to God Dreaming of her on his own She stays up awake watching him sleep Scared that she'll wake up alone What do I do now?
Are we going under?
What did I do wrong?
I thought we had it sorted At the end of the day Maybe I'm just stupid Can't we try again?
No one told me ever So every now and then Let's see every day Of your life And all your emotions You're not that strong You're no one
Until you are, I'll miss you Every day of your life Maybe when you're dead I've got some rest Been waiting until you
What do I do now then?
Are we going under?
What did I do wrong?
I thought we had sorted.
Is there someone else?
Am I too familiar?
Was it always sad?
I wanted to have children's horror for your photos.
Do you feel together?
It's like the whole of Sunday.
you together
You're shuffling your papers very loudly.
I want to read the news.
You shuffled all over the end of the sleeper track.
Did I?
I might have improved it.
You were shuffling around and shuffling and there was papers shuffling.
Hey, what's that?
That's a bed.
That's too good to be a bed.
Listeners, don't you think?
We just want to hear that.
We don't want it as a bed.
Anyway, we'll have it as a bed.
So listen, yesterday we were talking about computer startup sounds.
And we were kind of proposing that Brian Eno wrote the Macintosh computer startup sound.
Well Peter McMullen has texted us and he says that Eno actually created the Windows startup sound.
Now we, Adam and I don't really know what the Windows startup sound is because we don't really have Windows.
But he also says rumor has it that Eno created it on the Mac though.
But it's kind of not, you know, it's only a rumor.
It's not officially known.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Was it aggressive, the email?
No, there are some drawings of us being, you know, attacked.
Ugly and stupid.
No, there aren't.
It's a very, very nice, succinct email.
Well, that's good.
That makes a change.
Usually it's like you idiots.
What's the Windows startup sound, though?
It can't be better than the Mac one, can it?
The Windows startup sound is...
That's very insulting to all Windows users.
That's a sound you might remember from the playground.
From the playground.
And from Channel 4 on a Friday night, nowadays.
Yes.
Which I haven't watched.
When was the last time you watched Channel 4?
Is that how they pitch programs for late night Channel 4?
Pretty much, yeah.
Got a new idea.
And it's got Justin Lee covers.
Brilliant.
Let's have 12.
That was quite bitter wasn't it?
That was.
That was slightly bitter.
It was slightly bitter satire.
Yeah.
Bitter.
Yeah.
Anyway, so I thought I should clear up that whole startup sound thing.
Maybe someone could tell us, maybe someone could describe to us verbally what the Windows startup sound is.
I like verbal descriptions of abstract sounds don't you?
Yes, absolutely.
Or if you're in a position to... I don't know where I've ever come across one before.
Just play it twice down the phone.
That would be good as well.
Yeah.
What would be the number that they would call?
They text you first.
There's a procedure.
Here at the British Broadcasting Castle, you can't just phone in.
You have to be vetted.
Absolutely.
It takes several years.
MI6 are involved.
Yeah, that's right.
Jason Bourne is involved.
Okay, more music right now.
This is Dinosaur Junior with Crumble.
Nothing where I've been Will you bring me there again?
I won't ever understand You won't change to never I got lost in timeline There's a smile you made in time I'm out there and you know why And I'll run and get some
Can I stop the wondering why?
Will I crumble, will I fly?
Can I get out naked?
Will I need time to sleep?
Will you follow me?
Can I fake out just to me?
You know I can't take
Yesterday
And I'm sweating and trying to stop Till I think I've made it through
the new football season on the BBC.
The language of football on the BBC.
The new season continues on TV, online, on your mobile and with more live Premier League games than anyone else on BBC Radio 5 Live.
That's all you need to know.
The language of football.
Give us some more examples of the language of football.
kick, sport, goal, boo, oi, ref, shat it, oi, halftime, orange, shirts off, lads, barf, oi, fight.
Now do some commentating for an imaginary football match.
Where the ball is being passed there from Roger to Roger to Roger, Rogelson, yeah, ooh, love it, ooh, ooh, passed up the pitch, ooh, ooh, ref.
And Rogelson's come in with a lovely move across the grass.
he's moving there towards the Tony he is attempting to get the ball in the goal That is his aim and he's kicking it to other players in order to achieve that look at that ball.
Look at it.
It's so round It's listening little bits of grass on it lovely powering across the pitch the ball slowed down now and someone else has moved towards the ball anyway
As you might gather, we don't really understand football.
I don't understand the language of sport.
It's a bit like, to me, as if, you know, you could play a game from the 1930s and I wouldn't know.
The only difference, basically, would be the shorts.
No, a game of football.
Oh, I see.
Those clips in that trail, they could have been from any game in the last 400 years, as far as I'm concerned.
When you said a game in the 1930s, I immediately thought of Hoopstick because, you know, it's a fun one.
yeah anyway hello we're adam and joe this is the bbc6 music breakfast show we've been given the privilege of being able to raid uh the archives here at six music yeah most particularly the peel sessions and i have uh alighted upon this track this was from 2001 and it's the mighty strokes the sexy strokes who's your favorite stroke joe oh the one what goes out with uh that bird off of the films
Yeah.
Is that Nick Valenti?
Probably.
Fab Moretti?
I don't know.
He used to go out with Drew Barrymore.
They've split up now, haven't they?
Didn't one of them go out with Scarlett Johansson?
At some stage, I would imagine all of them did.
Yeah.
They are moneyed New York boys.
They're sexy, thin-troused men.
And this is a track from their appeal session called Someday.
Adam's pick of the BBC archive.
In many ways, they'll miss the good old days Someday, someday Yeah, it hurts to say, but I want you to stay Sometimes, sometimes When we was young, how many did we have?
Oh, well
Oh
I work and so I won't have to try so hard It will return sometime
All my fears, they come to me in dreams So I, sometimes, go fake my friend You say the strangest things I find Sometimes, almost as I'm hanging down Oh, I've tried my best You say you wanna stay
You'll always stand, together we fall apart Yeah, I think I'll be alright I'm working so hard, won't have to try so hard And it won't return sometimes, or someday
Oh, that's very good, isn't it?
That's the strokes with Someday.
It's weird, though, with those session tracks, because, I mean, that was almost identical to the album version of that.
Apart from his vocal, weirdly.
Yeah, exactly.
He didn't have his sort of megaphone distortion.
Right.
It sounded as if he just smoked a few too many sibils before arriving at the studio there, and he was reaching a little bit.
But it's a strange thrill that a music fan gets from hearing a version of his favorite track.
That's almost exactly the same, but slightly different.
That's all you need sometimes, though, isn't it?
Yeah, I got that with the prefab sprout track we played yesterday.
Well, you know, that was a good example of a track that was significantly different, though.
There was some extra instrumentation on there.
There was a guitar line kind of following the vocal line.
Yeah.
We all sounded like real music nerds.
Really?
Yeah.
Well, it's two bands we know a bit about.
That's right.
So unusual.
I've got a hello to say.
Yeah.
Is he allowed to do that at the beat of the big British castle?
It's a hello to a mega comedy celebrity.
Really?
Yeah, Peter Serafinowicz.
No.
Creator, co-creator of Look Around You.
Star of many great TV and film things.
Shaun of the Dead.
Stuff?
Stuff.
Oh man, I should have written down all the... He's one of my favourite comedy actors.
And are you going to say hello to him?
Anyway, yeah, he's working on a new show for the BBC.
In fact, I think his own show for BBC two.
I saw the pilot.
That's right.
It's good.
It's very funny.
The Peter Serafinowicz show and he is getting made up right now.
Is he in a trailer?
I bet that takes a while.
It takes a long time.
Yeah.
So hi, Peter.
Thanks for listening.
Right now.
Here is the news.
Digital radio.

BBC 6Music.
Child gun down in Liverpool.
GCSE students wait almost over and bus drivers on toilet protests.
And in 6Music News Winehouse leads in the mobos.
Foxy jailed and chemicals hit the road state side.
BBC 6 music.
7.30, I'm Catherine Cracknell.
An 11-year-old boy's been shot dead in Liverpool.
Police say they're baffled about why Reece Jones was targeted.
An attack happened in the Croxteth area of the city and detectives are appealing for local gangs to come forward with information.
Our reporter Jim Clark's been speaking to several witnesses drinking outside the pub near where the shooting happened yesterday evening.
It appears this boy was training on a playing field behind the pub and was walking home with two friends when a cyclist calmly rode up, pulled out a handgun, fired three shots and unfortunately hit this boy once.
It was the classic stance that you see in the action films, you know, the two hands across the handgun pointing rock solid firmly at this boy.
In other Six Museum news, it's GCSE results day and the number of top grades is expected to rise again.
But there's concern that around 40% of teenagers are leaving school without five good grades.
A six-year-old girl mauled by two Rottweilers on holiday in County Antrim is now in a comfortable condition in hospital in Belfast.
Sophia Kimpton from London's had plastic surgery on her ears.
The farmer who owns the dogs has shot them.
It looks like we could still be being misled about the amount of salt in our food.
That's according to a survey by 60 local authorities.
They found the labelling was misleading when it came to talking about a realistic single serving.
Helen Neil's been looking at the results of the study for us.
That serving size can be confusing sometimes.
They gave the example that on some packets of chicken nuggets, the portion size is just 15 grams.
That's equivalent to just one nugget, which is far less obviously than most people would realistically eat in a single sitting.
And bus drivers in London are taking action today.
They're protesting at the lack of toilet facilities on routes around the capital.
Their union says some drivers have been so desperate they've had to relieve themselves in public places and then been arrested.
And the weather a bit dull in the far south east and north west, but the rest of us getting a drier day with some sunshine.
Highs in the late teens could get up to the low 20s.
Six Music News now, here's Jo Yul.
BBC Six Music.
So things have perked up a little bit for Amy Winehouse.
She's leading the MOBO award nominees with Dizzy Rascal this morning with four apiece.
She's up for best UK female and best song for rehab.
And Rihanna's up for best international act after Umbrella.
Having the biggest song of this decade is definitely something that I'll never forget.
That's one of my biggest achievements this year."
That could be why it's still raining, though.
In other 6music news, Foxy Brown's been jailed for violating her probation.
Officials say it's after the 27-year-old was arrested for hitting her neighbor with a mobile and for skipping anger management classes.
Foxy had been on probation for attacking two manicurists at a salon in 2004 in New York.
A judge has ruled the pregnant rapper stay behind bars until a hearing in two weeks time.
And the Chemical Brothers are off on their first US jaunt in five years.
The duo take their We Are The Night album to the States and kick things off at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom on September the 21st.
They then hit Chicago, Denver and San Francisco before wrapping up in Los Angeles on September the 29th.
That's six music news, more at 8 o'clock.

You came on your own
Bob editors that's the correct way to pronounce the name of that band now i was watching them on telly the other day on one of the festival coverage programs oh yeah and they the editors were playing away all the editors sorry oh no you are sorry i was talking about a different band i was talking about
different different different band called the editors.
But what I meant to say was editors were playing along all dressed in grey with their grey backing and their neat haircuts and it cut to the wings and there was Edith Bowman.
She goes out with Mr. Editor.
There we go.
She was like bopping her head.
She knew all the words and I thought she's a big editors fan.
She's the biggest.
And then Adam Buxton told me that she's snogging one of them.
Can't get can't get bigger than that as a fan.
Really?
No, you can't.
I mean, that's the dream of all the fans.
Is it?
Yeah.
It's like Mrs. Newman.
You know, Gary Newman's wife?
That's right.
She was... Gary was her number two biggest hero.
She had a list.
We know this because, again, we filmed with Gary Newman a while ago and we went and filmed a thing at his house and she told us all about this.
She had a list.
Gary Newman's wife had a list of stars that she wanted to marry.
And was Bowie number one?
I think Bowie was the number one star.
And who was number two?
Pneumonoid.
Pneumonoid was number two?
Yeah.
So she shot for Bowie, didn't get him.
Didn't get Bowie but she got Gazza.
And they're a lovely couple, they were lovely.
I'm still very much in love, still very happily married.
I saw them in Hello the other day in their castle, strange gothic castle.
Are they still living there?
I thought that was
I think they... I think they... Well, they're living somewhere that looks very similar.
Really?
It has fluffy handcuffs hanging on the ceiling.
What would happen if Bowie made a pass at her?
You reckon if they were at some festival around there?
You know there's that thing that some couples have?
They have a special sort of get out clause.
Yeah.
If a famous person, you know, they say, well, look, I'm faithful to you for all my life.
That's right.
But if George Clooney ever winks at me.
You're allowed.
I'm allowed.
There's a good episode of Entourage where that happens.
Really?
Yeah.
And the guy's wife is allowed to sleep with the main bloke, Vincent Chase.
And it happens.
She bumps into him in a shoe shop.
But yeah.
Who would your one be?
Ooh, I have to think about that.
I've got to think about that.
Shall we play some music and I'll think about it?
Because that's a big question, man.
You can't just spring that on a guy.
Ooh.
Thanks very much.
This is Iron and Wine with Boy With a Coin.

Walk to the town
BBC 6 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 the mighty harry i'm so excited about that it it we're hyping it aren't we absolutely well we can listen to that on monday after we finish the show yeah that'll be good it's like the release of batman the first batman film he's a genius harry oh he's good man and you know who else is a genius is al mari he was on a show uh i did the other day you're not a genius come on yes i am no means come on in what way are you a genius i'm i've got all kinds of ideas
What's your best idea?
I can't tell you they're too hot.
Come on.
Too hot to say.
Give us one idea.
No.
Come on.
I can't, they're too good.
Write one down for later, okay?
Alright, alright.
One idea that proves you're a genius.
Shoes with words on the soles and you dress in puddles and you print the words.
Anyway, we were talking about who would your celebrity person that you're allowed to sleep with be, and... Yours would be Al Murray.
Maybe it would be Al Murray.
I really do think he's great, Al Murray.
I've forgotten.
He's one of those people that's so big and successful in a way, but he's got, like, a big hardcore of fans.
But he's not, like, taken that seriously.
I get the impression as, like, a cutting-edge comedian and stuff, but maybe that's just my misconception, but he's brilliant.
Like, he's amazing.
He's the quickest on his feet I've ever seen.
Anyway,
I might sleep with him, but if I had to sleep with a woman, it would be Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio.
Really?
Yeah.
Listeners might know her as the Lady in the Abyss, James Cameron's the Abyss.
Has she been in anything since that?
Since she was in the Abyss?
Yeah, nothing quite so big, I don't suppose.
She was in a film called Consenting Adults as well.
Do you remember that one?
That sounds crazy.
There was a lot of wife-swapery going on in there and I was delighted.
But yeah, she was in the abyss.
What an amazing scene in the abyss where she has to drown in order to be swum out by Ed Harcourt.
What's his name?
Harris.
Ed Harris.
Ed Harcourt would never make it.
Ed Harris has to swim her out.
He's got the breathing gear and he's the best swimmer so she has to drown and drag her to safety and then revive her.
Horrible business.
Oh man, it's the most amazing scene in movies.
for me, one of them anyway, and I always kind of envy her because he gets to snog Master Antonio and revive her and she's eternally indebted.
Really?
That's one of your sort of fantasies, is it?
Yeah.
A nearly dead woman spewing water into your face.
How very sensuous.
That is as sexy as it gets for me.
Listen, it's archive session track time.
I'm excited about hearing the woman again close her big sexy door and say my name in an exciting fashion.
I chose some stuff from Everything But The Girl because I used to be a big fan of Everything But The Girl.
Am I still?
Not entirely but when I was a little kid I used to love them.
So I had a look in the sessions and I'm going to be perfectly honest with you listeners, I don't really know this track very well that I've chosen.
Is that too honest?
No, that's good enough.
We skimmed through it and this was the one that really grabbed our ear.
Yeah, but it's from the period when I used to love them.
It's called Ballad of the Times.
This is everything but the girl from 1985 from the Peel Sessions.
Check this out.
Joe's pick of the BBC archive.
The streets breed narrow minds and care for kin, but not for kind.
It's a short haul to a long weekend when every move you ever had.
You'll never find room to find your feet.
To walk out of these avenues, your pockets are lined with promises.
When did a promise ever pay for shoes?
and raise your glasses one more time.
This Billy has gone off to war.
God knows what he's fighting for.
War time will make him a man.
Work that one out till you can.
A hero's grave is six feet deep, not firm enough for his friends.
A fight at sea, the only way to jump the key Fox in clever times we're tough, but will that ever be enough?
He never found to find his feet, to walk out of these avenues His pockets were done with promises, when did a promise ever pay for shoes?
There we go.
Everything but the girl there.
Well, that was a rather a lovely tune called Ballad of the Times.
That's absolutely my problem.
Sometimes I launch into speaking and it just it doesn't happen.
Give it another go.
Just doesn't happen.
That was absolutely lovely, I thought.
Yeah, and we were just talking about the fact that Tracy Thorne the lead singer of everything, but the girl released a solo album earlier this year Yeah, I was worrying there that that in the in the small chance that either Ben Watt or Tracy were listening That would be that what I said about them would have been a kind of a spinal tap moment You remember that moment in spinal tear when they hear their record?
It's great to hear that one again spinal tap currently residing in the where are they now file?
I know and there was me saying about everything but the girl that I used to like them in the 80s and implying that I don't anymore and it's not true.
No it's not.
They're very successful and they're you know still very successful.
They've had an amazing career.
Every time you thought they might have be sort of fading a bit they've come back stronger than ever.
Yeah?
Why are you laughing?
Because I made it sound downbeat again, haven't I?
Now it's good enough to say that they're a great band.
Yeah, they're a great band.
Well done.
Well done.
Now what were we just talking about?
Oh, yeah, songs to wake up to we were talking about.
Yeah yesterday we were talking about what the best alarm clock sound was and we had a bit of an alarm clock war.
I came up with the most violently aggressive one.
Adam had a lovely and soothing one but we got an email from a guy called Nick.
He doesn't give us any more information than that.
It's just Nick.
He is talking about the fact that he wakes up to a song.
I guess he must program his clock radio or whatever or his CD player or MP3 player.
Maybe his personal computer.
Yes!
To wake him up to a song.
And the song he chooses is Welcome to the Jungle by Guns N' Roses.
And here's Nick's description of what happens when he wakes up.
it starts with a kind of grating slash guitar noise but it holds within it warm 80s memories which in a dazed awakening state make you think this song rocks but what is it even though you woke up to it every day for the last three weeks the grating builds but you've got only about 10 seconds before the howling starts if you're not quick enough you've reached level two
normally you're up by now and you've turned the howling off but if you haven't you know it must be the weekend and you can either progress to level three the screechy axle singing with your head buried under the pillow or you can shout along while you make a brew and wake the rest of the house up so there you go he's broken down welcome to the jungle into kind of stages of awakening well it's good to have a nice long intro for a track there if you're waking up to it yeah something like you know uh stone roses i want to be adored which starts off with a sort of wash on
ambient noise and weird sounds like clangs and factory sounds or something and then gradually the guitars come in and then the bass it's very slow it all takes about over a minute that particular song might soothe me back to sleep yeah but it gets
Yeah, maybe you're right.
I'd have a sort of acid flashback.
Yeah.
Not that I've got anything to flashback to.
And I fall back to sleep.
But can you suggest listeners the perfect song to wake up to?
Wake Up Boo by the Boo Radleys.
Not that one.
That's the one you're not allowed to suggest.
What about Walking on Sunshine by Katrina in the Wave?
No.
It's Got to be Perfect by Fairground Attraction.
No.
You're not allowed any of those.
Anything by Sixpence None the Richer.
text your suggestions to 64046 or if you don't have a mobile phone you can email adamandjoe.sixmusic.bbc.co.uk I wonder how this one by the charlatans would work this is love is the key
I don't give in.
I don't give in to an outcome.
Love is the key you see by the charlatans that's true you know you know it is true it is and it can be used as a key replacement as well if you really you're locked out if you're locked out what do you do you just love the door you have to love the door but you have to love it to such an extent and the lot and it's a very difficult thing to do is it really
When you get locked out your natural impulses towards fury and frustration and mild depression and it's very hard to get to a place, it's very hard to get to a place where you really love the door.
You're just talking, you're not talking about making love to the door.
Yeah.
Are you?
That's what I'm saying.
Wow.
There's a lot of difficult things about it.
Well, there we go.
There's some useful locksmith information courtesy of the charlatans.
Yeah.
Okay.
We were asking you what the best song to wake up to would be.
And literally we're talking about like an alarm clock song, a song that would play in your ears just as you reach consciousness in the morning.
And we've been inundated with suggestions.
When I say inundated, I mean six, three.
Yeah.
But you can continue texting to 64046.
Here's one.
Okay, you ready?
Yeah, go on then.
Are you ready, though?
To get closer?
Yeah.
This is anonymous.
Please try and put your names on your text when you text in, because it's nice to put a name to the words.
What's the matter?
A little bit passive and aggressive.
A little bit techy.
A little bit aggressive.
Okay, this comes from an anonymous person.
I wake up to Sex Machine by James Brown.
Think about it.
He spends the whole song shouting, get up!
And like a sex machine, no less.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Get on up.
That's true.
That's a good choice.
Not too aggressive, kind of rhythmic.
It keeps you perky, inspiring.
Here's another one.
You ready for another one?
Yeah.
Sarah in Manchester says, Wake up, you're dead by faith no more.

The top stories at eight, I'm Catherine Cracknell.
Merseyside police have named an 11-year-old boy shot dead in Liverpool.
Rhys Jones was attacked by a youngster on a BMX near a pub in Croxteth and died later in hospital.
600,000 GCSE students are getting their results later.
The pass rate is expected to rise to 99%.
An idea to keep sex offenders from across Europe on a central register has got the backing of most MEPs.
It was suggested by the parents of Madeleine McCann.
And US Customs has intercepted a submarine carrying cocaine, which they estimate is worth £180 million.
It was spotted by a surveillance plane off the coast of Central America.
And the weather bit of an improvement, drier and brighter in most places, exceptions to that being the far south-east of England and the north-west, highs in the late teens into the low 20s for some places.

You're the catalyst that makes things faster Amylase will dry up the plaster You're the catalyst that makes things faster Amylase will dry up the plaster
Amylase, that's a new product that dries out plaster faster than any other plaster drying product can.
That was Cajun Dance Party, which I think is a little bit misleading as a name for the band.
You know, because you get excited about a Cajun dance party and you don't get anything of the sort.
What was he singing about?
You're the catalyst that makes things faster.
Amylase dries out plaster.
It's a building song.
It's a song for builders.
Is Amylase an actual product?
I would imagine so.
In which case we shouldn't be playing it on the big British castle.
That's true.
It might be coded, you know.

Oh, so we have a need for that right now.
Anything that pollutes the environment, anything that exploits kids, we're there.
That's what we're into actually.
We charge a little bit more for that sort of stuff, but pretty much we can work it out.

But listen, Claire, tell us what two songs you've chosen for us to have breakfast to this morning.

D-D-Digital TV.
Hello, this is Adam and Joe.
We're here on Six Music filling in for Sean Keaveney for the rest of this week and all of next.
Yeah, it's 8, 15, 16, 17, 18.
It's 8, 18.
Joe Timecheck Cornish.
Yeah.
It's the morning that knowing what time it is is very important.
And you join us just as Joe Cornish is trying to steal the last biscuit from Jenny
Yeah.
Jenny, our lovely helper lady, has bought in three Gary Baldies.
Are they Gary Baldies?
They're a bit like Gary Baldies, but they're more healthy.
They're Squash Fly Biscuits.
I haven't had one of those for years and they are amazing.
Are flies really sweet?
to the taste are they does anyone know oh flies no they're not sweet aren't they they're bitter uh also you should never eat them they carry disease do they i don't know if you knew that or not is disease sweet well funnily enough some diseases can be tasty a little bit tasty
So listen, we've been asking you to text in your suggestions for the best song to wake up to.
This is if you live in a kind of a War Games stroke Ferris Bueller style environment where you can have your computer cue a song or something like that in the morning.
So are you ready for some of these Adam?
Yeah, please hit me.
This is from somebody called Ninety in Leeds.
His name is actually a number.
There we go.
The perfect wake up song is the digital hardcore remix of Crash Power by everyone's favourite Japanese techno metal as mad capsule markets.
You may never sleep again.
So he's going for the cut.
There's two approaches to this.
There's the soothing kind of approach.
Wake up with a lovely optimistic song.
Or there's kind of like the hardcore in at the deep end cold shower, like metal attack, noise attack.
That's for the youngsters, though, you know?
The older you get, the more Susan you want it to be, surely.
We don't know people's ages here, but Johnny is saying, how about Higher State of Consciousness by Josh Wink?
That's a good one.
Wakes me up every time.
Yeah.
Again, I'd be worried about kind of acid flashbacks there.
Hello, Adam and Joe.
I'd like to suggest Albatross by Fleetwood Mac as a wake-up track.
Eases you into the day, and you glide like a bird all day.
That's true, isn't it?
That's lovely.
That is a lovely song.
That's from Jay.
Let's Go Crazy by Prince.
Yeah.
You know a good one that I would like to wake up to is Who Loves the Sun by The Velvet Underground.
You know what I'd wake up to?
What?
Fantastic Day by Hecate 100.
That's a good idea.
You know?
I didn't know if that would be solid goal.
What's the beginning of that?
Oh no, I'm thinking of Love Plus One is a nice... No, that's Love Plus One, yeah.
That's lovely though.
Yeah, is that Love Plus One as well?
I can't remember.
Anyway, and here's one from Cameron in Leeds.
I used to wake up to the opening chords of Geoff Wayne's War of the Worlds at university.
I was a very heavy sleeper and the only way to remedy this was to scare myself awake.
Yeah, that would be a good one.
I'll tell you another one is 20 seconds to comply.
Yes.
Remember that one?
Yeah.
Now, who was that by?
That sort of, um, jungle-y trip-hop group?
Oh, I forget.
Oh, we'll find out.
Yeah, that's intense, though.
Yeah, that starts off with the sample from Robocop, ed209, saying, Please put down your weapon.
You have 20 seconds to comply.
Uh, the Russian national anthem wakes you up right in the morning, says, uh, Ryan.
What's the Russian national anthem?
I love Russia, yes I do, yes I do I love Russia, yes I do, yes I do And you love Russia as much as I do We love Russia, yes we do, yes we do That's correct.
And that's it.
That's the end of that text competition with that stirring rendition of the national anthem.
We're going to close that one off because soon it's time for Text the Nation.
And don't forget we've got a rejigged jingle.
A rejingle.
With some extra information for the jingle of Text the Nation.
Yeah, this is only because somebody complained by email yesterday that the Text the Nation competition was non-inclusive to non-mobile phone owners.
And as you know, here at the Big British Castle, it's our mission to be inclusive.
We wish to include everyone, and of course you're welcome to communicate with us any way you wish when we launch Text the Nation.
It doesn't have to be just by text, and that can be made clear to you once you hear the jingle.
But now, here's the lovely Lily Allen.
When you first left me I was wanting more But you were helping that girl next door What'd you do that for?
When you first left me I didn't know what to say I've never been on my own that way Just sat by myself all day I was so lost back then But with a little help from my friends I found the light in the tunnel at the end
It's sunny because you're feeling alone I pause when I see you cry It makes me smile Yeah, it makes me smile
Whenever you see me, you say that you want me back And I tell you, it don't mean that No, it don't mean that I couldn't stop laughing, no, I just couldn't help myself See, you messed up my mental health I was quite unwell I was so lost back then But with a little help from my friends I found the light in the tunnel at the end
You can have a little wine and a moan It's only because you're feeling alone At first we'll see you cry Yeah, it makes me smile Yeah, it makes me smile At worst I feel bad for a while But then I just smile I'll go ahead and smile
Yeah, makes me smile
Is it true that just the physical act of smiling makes you happy?
Is it true it kind of stimulates blood vessels in the happiness nodes synapses of the brain?
So everybody out there, even if you're not happy, just have a go at smiling.
Does that make you happy?
Even if it's insincere.
You have a go at it.
It'll work eventually.
It'll work eventually.
A smile is my natural.
I'm smiling right now.
If you fake a smile, you can't fake a smile, can you?
Look at that.
You can't.
That just looks so evil.
It doesn't.
It doesn't look like the Joker.
A fake smile does look evil.
You end up looking like Richard James, Aphex Twin.
yeah or itchy the killer yeah have you seen that film that's right you look like a kind of clown killer but it does work you know sometimes when you're doing voiceovers and stuff like that they say come on smile and it just sounds like you're smiling could put a smile in your voice okay so I tell you what introduce this next song now with no smile
okay and then do it again with a fake smile and let's see if we can tell the difference okay so no smile uh this is my breakfast single of the week it's the fantastic new single from spoon called the underdog with a smile this is my uh new single of the week it's working it's working isn't it this is spoon with the underdog enjoy
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
There's another need to get up for it Oh, to cut out the middle man, to free from the middle man You got no time for the messenger, got no regard for the thing that you don't understand You got no fear of the underdog, 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 in case It can't all be boiled away I try but I can't let go of it Can't let go of it But you don't talk to the water boy
And listen what you can learn, but you don't wanna learn 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 wanna know about something that you don't understand You got no fear of the underdog I try you but I survive
It's a peach.
That's Spoon with the underdog.

Results are out later.
The pass rate and the number of top grades is set to go up again.
Shoppers are being misled about the amount of salt in their food, the findings of a survey by 60 local authorities.
They say the packaging often doesn't realistically reflect what a single serving is.
Derek Allen's the executive director of the local authorities coordinators of regulatory services, which carried out the research.
Consumers could be misled by some of the labelling.
I mean, we had examples of where the salt content was being quoted for one chicken nugget when a normal meal would be at least four to six.
It's about having a greater clarity for the consumer on the labels.
Bus drivers are demonstrating in central London today it's because of a lack of toilet facilities on routes in the capital.

She's up 4-4, including one for her SOG Rehab, where she currently resides.
We caught up with Shaggy last night at the nominations bash.
He'll be presenting on the night next month.
He reckons her booze and drug problems have kept her in the limelight.
I think it makes our opinion, our interest in her a little bit more.
It certainly adds to that.
It's a good tabloid.
Dizzy Rascal also has four nominations and will battle it out amongst the likes of 50 Cent and Kanye West.
Now chart chiefs have announced more changes this morning just over a year after allowing the sales of digital downloads to count against chart sales.
They've now agreed to include singles released on USB memory sticks.
6music's Jacqueline Springer has the details for us.
Well, like you said, Joe, the official charts company and the Chart Supervisory Committee have agreed to another change in the calculation of what makes it into the UK singles charts.
From September 16th, single releases carried on USB memory sticks will now count.

It's Adam and Joe, BBC6 music filling in for Shaun W Keveney.
Oh, sorry, I got distracted by a huge crane moving past the window in a surreal fashion.
Oh, yeah, it looks as if the crane, the big metal hook bit was just about a smash into the window.
Yeah, that was kind of a Godzilla moment.
Now it's nearly time to play Text the Nation, our exciting new quiz that we're very, very proud of.
I think the whole play and quiz element is probably overstated.
We've got to use some kind of words to describe it.
It makes it sound like a fun game.
It's not a quiz, is it?
It's not.
What is it?
What can we describe it as?
It's an opportunity to communicate with people.
It's basically the same old rubbish we've been doing all morning but with a new sort of name.
With a slightly different name.
Yeah, to try and differentiate things.
So you may remember that yesterday Adam created an extraordinary compelling trail like jingle for this segment of the show and we had a complaint from a listener and don't ever let it be said that we don't take listener complaints seriously.
We'll take them very seriously.
It was stated that we were prejudiced against those who did not have text capability.
Yeah.
Not true.
Textist.
You can communicate with us in any way that you wish by email, you can, you know, use skywriting, it doesn't matter.
So he insisted that we adjust the jingle to include people without mobile phones, people who email.
So are we ready?
Are we going to unveil the new jingle?
The new adjusted jingle?
Text the nation!
Text!
Text!
Text!
Text the nation!
What if I don't want to?
Text the nation!
But I'm using email.
Is that a problem?
It doesn't matter!
Text!
So you see it's quite clear then.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That it's not a problem.
Yeah.
If you want to use email, text the nation.
You know what?
Is everyone happy now?
I miss yesterday's jingle when the woman said, uh, when it went, text the nation, text, text the nation.
And the woman went, um, uh, I don't want to.
And the other woman went, it doesn't matter.
It's all in there.
It's still in there.
Is it?
Does she say it doesn't matter?
Doesn't matter.
Text.
Really?
At the end, yeah.
At the very end?
When you say woman... Just play it once more.
It's you doing a lady voice, isn't it?
Or is it just a... Here we go.
Text the nation.
Text, text, text.
Text the nation.
What if I don't want to?
Text the nation.
But I'm using email.
Is that a problem?
It doesn't matter, text!
Oh yes, you're right.
I missed it.
Wow, it doesn't matter.
So today on Texanation, we are talking about things that your parents go off on one about.
Yeah, like elements of pop culture that your mum and dad or older relatives just cannot compute.
They don't understand.
You know, it's like moments when you're watching the telly.
Obviously, this is for younger listeners, but it used to happen to me when I was a kid.
I'd be watching something on the telly.
My dad would open the living room door.
He'd look at the telly.
He'd look at me and he'd go, what is this?
Not yet.
Oh Blake Seven.
What a load of rubbish.
I don't understand how you can watch this biffle.
Why are you watching it?
Oh my god.
For my dad it was Noel Edmonds.
Really?
He couldn't stand Noel Edmonds.
And now we have my dad on the line.
Nigel Buxton is with us today.
Just before we speak to Nigel, let's just give the text number.
It's 64046.
You can email Adamandjoe.6musicatbbc.co.uk.
This is a national survey.
We want to know are the pop culture figures, people... It doesn't necessarily have to be completely pop culture, but just people in the public eye and also things as well.
Who your parents cannot tolerate, who really wind them up, who they've got a thing for.
Now, Dad, are you there?
I'm here.
Hello Nigel, it's Joe here.
Ah, good morning Joe.
Very nice to hear you.
I have to say as well that I would not normally call my Dad, Dad.
I would normally call him Daddy.
Well call him Daddy.
But as we're on... We've discussed this before on the radio.
I don't know what to like as long as it's fairly polite.
Can I call you daddy Nigel?
By all means.
Thank you very much.
So has Adam explained the purpose of our call today Nigel?
Yeah.
So what are the things or people that you tend to go off on one about?
I should think top of my list is, well pretty near the top of my list is Bob Geldof.
Bob Geldof, we were talking about Bob yesterday saying that his daughter Peaches seems to be the new bete noire of the tabloids.
Now Nigel, without saying anything libelous or at all rude, why is it that Bob Geldof makes you so upset?
I think he's one of the leaders of what I call the great unwashed look.
That's not the main reason he curdles
milk on my cornflakes.
I'm not going far to suggest that he's insincere about his views on African poverty, but what gets me is that he's turned humanitarian concern into a colossal showbiz PR exercise.
And what's worse than that, he bangs on about debt relief in not only a very simplistic
I think, rather ignorantly harmful way.
People who really know about the problem of African poverty pretty well agree that
what Africa needs is political reform.
So do you get these, I mean do you get these feelings when you just set eyes on him Nigel, if you see him on telly it makes you angry.
Yes I do because he had so much exposure in the last few years that I can't avoid him.
But he's just trying to communicate these problems in a way that he feels the largest amount of people will be able to deal with and understand.
What's wrong with that?
What's wrong with it is it obscures what is really necessary.
You see
Political reform, which is what Africa needs, is not sexy.
something that anyone can understand, you just say to someone who owes you a lot of money, well, don't bother to pay it back.
And that's something that his hands can relate to.
It makes everyone, including himself, feel pretty good.
Right, right.
Some forms of debt relief are quite sexy, I find.
So who else?
I'll tell you another one.
You asked me, after all.
Another one is Boris Johnson.
Right, okay, Boris Johnson.
So without going into any actual policies, what are the things superficially that drive you mental about Boris?
He takes us all for fools.
He himself is very well educated, which most Etonians are.
He knows it.
He thinks he can afford to be flippant.
about things which the rest of us are usually rather serious about because we ought to recognise that behind the bumbling buffoon there's a superior intelligence and a needle sharp brain.
It's a kind of conceit really.
And what sort of words are you likely to use, say if you're flicking through the channels Nigel and you come across Boris Johnson, what kind of exclamation are you likely to make?
Exclamation of what?
Exclamation.
What are you likely to say to express your dislike of Boris Johnson?
In the way he comes across he's a phony.
He pretends to be a buffoon and in fact he's a shrewd
self-interest in calculating politicians.
So you would plump for buffoon and phony for Boris Johnson who a lot of people really like and some people see as the acceptable face of conservatism.
How have your feelings changed about Noel Edmonds or have they?
No I think Noel Edmonds are fairly harmless.
I don't like people with
his kind of beard and his kind of hairstyle Nigel I think we'll keep you hanging on there if that's okay but we should go to some music this is Maximo Park with Girls Who Play Guitars
With me, a year to the day, three hundred and sixty Five days watching DVD game We used to talk about girls who play guitars We used to talk about plans in
In the gaps between words are the things that really intrigue me.
It's the gasps and the sighs that say more about what's inside you.
We used to come up on a high horse every time.
We used to talk about boys with missing spines.
It's her life and her life is hers.
It never struck us, it was one minute in time The path of excess just led to boredom You've lived your life with your mouth wide open It's her life and her life is worth living It's her life
Don't you know how much that hurts?
You could pretend and I wouldn't know I could be who you wanted in the dark She goes how she gets drunk She gets up She goes how she gets in She goes how she gets drunk She gets up She goes how she gets in It's her life and her life is worth living Her life
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 this is adam and joe here on six music covering for sean kevney and we're right in the middle of text the nation an amazing feature where we ask people to communicate with us about a thing it's it's like a survey that's my angle it's like a national survey national so we have some of the nation's top brains listening to this program that's true half a million of the cleverest people in the country and we tap their you know collective hive mind oh
Yeah?
So our proposition today is about your parents or your older relatives.
What people or aspects of modern life and pop culture make them really angry?
We were just talking to my dad there, Nigel Buxton, aka Bad Dad, and he was going on about a couple of his pet hates, Bob Geldof and Boris Johnson, and they are two people that as soon as they pop up on TV, he'll just immediately explode with, oh, that phoney, oh, that.
We've had a nice text though that says your dad is so sweet.
I have a great dad but I want another one now and I want your dad to be my second dad.
And he's right you know about Bob and Boris.
Idiots.
Oh I don't know about idiots.
I've got a lot of time for both Boris and Bob.
Do you know what I mean?
It's hard isn't it to... It's just hard.
It's very hard.
Listen, here are some other texts that have come in.
My granddad, this is from Tom in Wetromford, my granddad cannot stand The Simpsons.
Quote, all those stupid yellow cartoon chaps, turn that rubbish off.
That's exactly the kind of thing we're looking for, Tom.
That sort of instant dismissal.
Yes, exactly.
Of something that millions and billions of people adore.
No time for it whatsoever.
Yeah.
Only only older people can get away with that kind of thing.
And sometimes it's it's because they really have thought about it sometimes it's just because it sort of hits them at the wrong angle.
I like the respectful use of the word chaps there Tom.
All those stupid yellow cartoon chaps.
Here's another one from Chris in Aberdeen and this is a kind of dislike that maybe a lot of us might share.
My mum despises Ray Quinn.
And who could blame her as he is a ventriloquist dummy.
Now he's the kind of young Karuna from The X Factor.
You know the one?
You don't watch that kind of thing do you Adam?
Karuna.
He nearly won The X Factor.
And he does.
He looks like a sort of evil ventriloquist dummy.
As that text has said.
Right.
But I'm sure he's a very sweet chap.
But there we go.
Chris and Aberdeen's mum hates Ray Quinn.
If you can like quote anything your parents would say that's what personally I love to hear the actual kind of phrase or sentence your parents would say in disgust.
Yeah my dad with Noel Edmonds it was always that bearded creep.
What did your dad say about his beard?
Anybody with that kind of beard?
Well, I think he's got a real problem with people that don't shave in general.
Right.
With beards in general.
He doesn't like beards.
I've got a beard at the moment.
He doesn't like you.
He sort of holds himself back from actually criticising the beard.
For a few weeks after he first saw me with it, he kept on saying, what is that for?
What is it for?
People should have said that to me anyway.
Well, it's to nest birds.
I'm breeding a rare species of tick.
I think his theory is that if you've got a beard or you don't shave, it shows that you're a lazy person, feckless person, also you're hiding something.
I agree with him.
That's the gist of it for my dad.
We'll talk to him a bit later on about that perhaps.
Beards is a whole other factor.
Here's a really good one from an anonymous texter saying that I think he or she has a parent or elderly relative who complains about anybody with a fringe which hangs lower than their eyes, quote, covering up their lovely
That's what my mum used to say.
And significantly raising the risk of conjunctivitis.
Right, back it up with a little medical threat.
Brilliant, brilliant.
So keep those texts coming in, the text number is 64046.
It's important that you all text us immediately with your best stories of people or things in popular culture that your parents dismiss out of hand.
We might try and get my dad back on the line in a few minutes but first here's Booker T and the MGs.
It's a smash.
Booker T. Yeah, let's both say it.
And the MGs.
And the MGs.
I was gonna say Booker T and the Memphis group to like to be a bit of a sort of show off Muzo Pratt.
Yeah, because that's what MG stands for.
Yeah.
Um, I'm not gonna say anything else now.
Good morning listeners, this is Adam and Joe on the BBC6 music breakfast show filling in for Shaun Keaveny.
It's nearly news time, it's nearly the top of the hour but before we do that we're talking about people or things in popular culture that your parents or elderly relatives kind of dismiss out of hand that they kind of hate and here's a good kind of spin on this.
Kate Humphrey in Rugby has sent us an email that says my granddad dislikes quite a few people in the public eye but it's the names he calls them that I find
funny.
Barbara Strident.
Eric Claptout.
Michael Flatfeet.
I could go on but I have to get to work.
I wish you had gone on Kate.
That's really true isn't it?
Like mums and dads kind of inventing dismissive comedy names for things.
I remember whenever I was watching Top of the Pops and my dad would come into the front room and he'd go not Top of the Flops.
I think every parent calls Top of the Pops top of the flops, don't they?
Yeah, that's genius.
Right now, here's Candy Payne.
After the news, we will be talking once again to my dad and continuing to find out some more things that make your parents froth at the mouth.
Candy Pane with one more chance.
This is Adam and Jo on BBC6 Music.
It's time for the news with Jo and Catherine.
Police have arrested another person over the murder of biker Jerry Tobin on the M40 in Warwickshire.
The man was picked up yesterday evening in Coventry and is being held on suspicion of murder.
And the GCSE pass rate is expected to reach 99% when this year's results are announced later.
600,000 students in England and Wales will find out how well they've done this morning.
And the weather mostly dry, although there'll be a bit more cloud around in the far southeast of England and the northwest.
Highs in the late teens, some places getting up to the low 20s.
Jo Ewell's here now with the Six Music news.
Our top story this hour, and she wasn't there at the Mobo Bash to hear she'd been nominated for four awards.
But Amy Winehouse, who's in rehab, will probably get a bit of a boost when she hears the news this morning.
Dizzy Rascal matches her, and we'll battle it out with her for best video.
More on that coming up in our next Listen at 9.30.

Text the nation!
Text!
Text!
Text!
Text the nation!
What if I don't want to?
Text the nation!
But I'm using email.
Is that a problem?
It doesn't matter!
Text!
There we go, that's the brand new jingle, today's new jingle for Text The Nation, our amazing sort of survey section of the show.
We've had an email from the person who complained yesterday, the person responsible for having the jingle changed, his name is Chris.
His email goes like this, wow, the new jingle is amazing.
I feel so proud of myself for complaining.
This is going on my CV as an achievement.
Quote, successfully negotiated change of jingle on popular radio show.
It's very nice of you to use the word popular there, Chris, and thanks very much for your interventionist behaviour.
Now, we're talking about things that make your parents go into a kind of furious ranting state.
Have we got any more text-stroke emails there?
Yes, we have.
We've got lots.
OK, here is a good one from Lindsay.
My mum hates Linda Bellingham.
When she was in the gravy ads, the mum would growl, oh for Christ's sake, at the telly.
I've no idea what the root of her loading was, oh for Christ's sake.
Bellingham, I don't know, I don't think you need logic for that.
Yeah, but she caused a sort of visceral reaction in many people, I remember.
Bellingham, yeah.
Okay, here's another one from Tom in Canterbury.
My dad hates all hip hop and thinks anything that has rapping in it is the Fugees.
Turn this Fugees rubbish off.
Is it off repeated demand?
Brilliant!
All wrapping is the foodies!
Here's another one from Abby in Edinburgh.
My mum goes into a spitting ball of fury at the mention of Celine Dion and her quote, massive, smug nose.
And Catherine Zeta-Jones, she says she's got a greedy, beefy cleavage.
A greedy, beefy cleavage.
That's good though, isn't it?
Right, your mum's a genius, Abi.
Parents are so clever, they've lived, they know these things.
They understand, they can detect these things.
My dad always used to have this thing he said when he saw someone he didn't like.
It used to be Jan Leeming a lot when the news came along in the olden days and it was being read by Jan Leeming.
Oh, Jan Leeming.
I'm putting her in my leaky boat in the North Atlantic.
Wow he had a leaky boat that he put people in Noel Edmonds was going in there.
He's going in the leaky boat That's nice because it's almost kind of viciously horrible He's almost saying I want to kill a person right, but actually he's putting them in a leaky boat So they do have a minor chance of survival They're in jeopardy, but they might be able to paddle to safety if they change their ways now Let's play a little bit of music Joe This is your free choice, and then after this I think we'll try and raise my dad I'm a bit worried about this
Listeners, I've got a secret problem with the Paul McCartney album Pipes of Peace.
The problem is you love it.
I love it.
And I've got a secret problem with this track from the Paul McCartney album Pipes of Peace.
It's called The Other Me.
You know, I'm not saying this is a masterpiece, but you know, if I have a guilty pleasure,
Not that we like that phrase, this would be it.
And I can only apologise for inflicting it on you.
I didn't know the staff here would actually pull it out and make me play it.
So here it is.
I love this though.
This is Paul McCartney with the other me.
And I acted like a dustbin lid I didn't give a second thought To what the consequence might be I really wouldn't be surprised If you were trying to find another me Cause the other me Would rather be the glad one
The other me would rather play the fool I wanna be the kind of me that doesn't let you down as a rule I know it doesn't take a lot
I have a little self-control But every time that I forgot When I landed in another hole But every time you pull me out I find it harder not to see That we can build a better life If I can try to find the other me
Other me would rather be the glad one Yeah the other me rather play the fool Said I wanna be the kind of me that doesn't let you down
Well you know that it's not real It's not easy living by yourself So imagine how I feel I wish that I could take it back I'd like to make a difference
I'll have a better attitude I know that one and one makes two And that's what I want us to be I really would appreciate it if you'd help me find the other man
Rather be the glad one The other me, rather play the fool But I wanna be the kind of me That doesn't let you down, there's a rule
Man in it!
Man in it!
Man in it!

new six music any way possible BBC six music hey this is Adam and Joe here filling in for Sean Keeney on BBC six music so Joe Cornish the other me there yeah got me hello listeners my name is Joe Cornish I'd like to officially apologize for making you listen to that I like it yeah but then doesn't mean that you like it so I'm really sorry particularly to Jason in Stockholm
he's listening in Stockholm and he's actually emailed in no sorry you're wrong this is dreadful please stop playing this and never ever play it again in private or public not even in private Jason in Stockholm that's harsh he's got a restraining order on it I will obey you all right
What now?
Now, Text the Nation, we are talking about things that make your parents go into fits of fury and we've had a lot of texts and emails from people about various things that their parents fly into a rage about.
Most of them are now about stopping McCartney actually.
We've had a whole flurry of stop this, stop it, stop McCartney.
Can't believe we played it the whole way through.
I suggested we come out of it earlier.
I like the Duspin lyric.
Yes.
Oh dear.
Anyway, yeah, we've been inviting you to text us in as part of our Text the Nation type thing.
Things in pop culture or the world that make your parents or grandparents incensed for no rational reason.
And we've got so many good ones here.
um here we go this is from uh ollie in st ivs my dad calls bill oddie odd billy that's not so insulting though that's fair enough isn't it here's another one from lizzie my mum hates tracy emmin that dirty cow in that filthy bed that's not art
But she usually swears a lot more.
That's a good one.
My dad's got a lot to say about Tracey Hill as well.
Man, modern art is a real Achilles heel for all parents, surely.
They all go off on one about that.
It's just a pile of bricks!
I mean, it's ludicrous!
Politicians are good targets for parents and elderly relatives as well.
Lucian Colchester says my late granddad used to go, that Tony Blair.
You know what I call him?
Jelly Baby Blair.
He's got no backbone.
Nice.
I like the do you know what I call him before the reveal of the name.
Yeah.
It's like teasing it a bit.
Here's something in reference to parents and grandparents' despisal of any beard or facial hair growth relating to what you were saying earlier, Adam.
This is Sean in Ladbroke Grove.
My dad says, why would I cultivate something on my face which grows wild around my bottom?
Yeah, well, that's a fair point, isn't it?
We'll talk to my dad about that in a second.
But first, here's a bit more music.
This is Beth Orton with Concrete Sky.
Faith has a curse, I steal everyone She ever loved, they all turn back Constance is on while you're breathing You know you couldn't will him to survive Couldn't will him if you tried And there's a concrete sky
And I know now why It's not coming around too soon It's harder than a heartbreak too Your house isn't a good sign But a house that I don't know Just what it is that you might want
I stand tall for you Hold my heart so I feel like I'm falling I feel like I'm falling There's a concrete sky Falling from the trees again
I'm just
But I know now what I must rely on It's all sound, forgetting, and the worst thing I've been out walking, don't do too much talking Don't take too much time Wouldn't take all your time Cause it's as precious as my sandwich
Save some for you, save your soul Feel like I'm falling, feel like I'm falling
It's harder than a heartbreak, too It's tough enough, but love will do It's as precious as
That's Beth Orton with Concrete Sky.
This is Adam and Joe here on 6music.
We have my father Nigel Buxton on the line to chat to us a tiny bit more about things that get him furious.
Did you enjoy Beth Orton there, Dad?
Yeah.
Did you enjoy Paul McCartney before that?
Paul McCartney.
He didn't hear Paul McCartney before.
Well, I'm not a great fan of Paul McCartney, I'm afraid.
Why not?
What do you think of Paul McCartney?
I think he's passed his shelf life, really.
Steady on.
He was quite engaging.
about a hundred years ago as one of the Beatles but I think he should have retired really.
That makes it sound like you used to really be into the Beatles and now you're making it sound as if you used to really like the Beatles but now you've gone off them.
That's not the case though is it?
Well I think everything has its time and the Beatles were a long time ago.
They were rather engaging when they were young and fresh but Paul McCartney
So Nigel, can I just run past you some of the responses we're getting from our listeners here?
I'm just going to read to you some of the responses we're getting from our listeners.
There's a listener whose mum hates...
Oh, what should we pass of here?
What?
Here we go.
Tracey Emin was one that came up.
You have some fairly strong views on Tracey Emin, don't you?
Yes, I think she is the nearest thing to poison that I've seen in public for a long time.
What's wrong with Tracey Emin?
I think she's entertaining and her stuff is funny.
She's a tremendous fraud, like so much of the world of pop art.
What about Paddy Ashdown?
What do you think of Paddy Ashdown?
Oh he's all right.
He's harmless.
Ah he's all right.
That's good.
That's the closest thing to praise.
I think like many Lib Dems he's not entirely plausible but I think he's...
an agreeable man.
How about hip-hop music, Nigel?
What do you think of hip-hop music?
I don't know much about it and I'm not very keen on, you may be surprised, but I'm not very keen on giving my viewers on something I don't know anything about.
So I don't really... The closest you've been to hip-hop was meeting Coolio back in LA when we were... Oh, Coolio!
Yes, he was good fun.
I can't pretend I'm a great fan of hip-hop music, but I'm nothing against it.
And he was a shame.
And finally, you've got a problem with people that don't shave.
Well, yes, I hate film actors and male models who think it's sexy not to wash and shave.
Seems to me extremely perverse.
You're assuming that just because they have a little bit of stubble, they don't wash.
I think most of them wash, they just cultivate a smooth.
Well, this is the trouble, one can't tell.
If they can't be bothered to shave, it's quite possible they don't bother to wash or use the agent.
There's something rather creepy about them.
How are you dealing with my beard at the moment?
Well, I assume that your beard is for good professional purposes.
It's not because you would think you'd look more beautiful with a beard.
No.
Possibly you do.
But I'd put it down to a professional necessity.
Alright, fair enough.
Hey, Daddy, thanks a lot for calling us today and thanks for talking to us.
Thanks Nigel, good to speak to you.
Bye now.
Bye.
Have a good day, bye bye.
Thanks.
Well, that's great stuff.
That was bad, Dad.
They're just weighing in on our epic text-er the nation.
We've had so many emails and texts that we might have to do one more little go at this after the next song.
Which is... Oh, what a peach.
I've got to stop calling things peaches.
This is a delightful plum from the House Martins and it's sheep.
It's time to get so angry with simple life they lead The shepherd's smile seems to confirm my fears They've never questioned anything, never disagreed Sometimes I think they must have worn their ears Oh, when you see a cane, I see a croc Oh, when you see a crowd, I see a flock It's cheap propaganda
When I was young, I used to get my counting sheet.
But the counting night, it was all in vain.
Now when I'm tired, and I'm trying to get some sleep, I can hear my jumping on two trains.
When you see a cane, I see a croc.
That was Switches, live in the Six Busy Hub.
When you see a crowd, I see a flock.
The sheep walk the gang.
When you see a cane, I see a croc When you see a crat, I see a flock It's cheap, we're off again It's cheap, we're off again
Hooray the housemartin's there with sheep.
This is Adam and Joe on BBC6 music.
Here are some more texts that have come in about things that make your parents annoyed for irrational reasons.
Are you ready Adam?
Yeah go on.
Hi Chris and Aberdeen again.
My dad once said he'd love to punch Jerry Halliwell in the face.
That's a bit much isn't it?
Well I didn't say it.
Chris didn't say it.
Her dad said it.
You know usually the parents at least dress things up.
You know they put them in a leaky boat or they call them funny names.
It's not usually as direct as that.
That's what makes that quite exciting that text.
Here's another one, Reed from Oakham.
Hello, Joe and Adam.
My dad used to say, Neil Diamond, money for old rope.
I have no idea why.
That's not true.
Anyway, he's a genius.
Jen in Soho.
My dad gets enraged at the neighbours theme and end credits before the six o'clock news starts.
He turns the sound off, tuts and groans at it.
That's fair enough.
It's a dreadful noise.
Tony Hatch, isn't it?
It's something like that.
It used to be.
They remixed it though recently.
Made it new.
Here's Tom again, Tom again, Tom.
He must have texted before.
My grandma hates anything on TV to do with space or sci-fi.
I'm not watching that.
It's just silly.
Says grandma.
That is a precise impression of Tom's grandma as well.
And finally Zoe says my ma'am hates songs that have sirens in them.
She thinks it should be against the law in case you get confused when you're driving.
oh don't we just love our mums and dads and our grands and grandpa my mum got in an absolute fury the other day because she was watching jonathan ross's tv show and the arctic monkeys were on there and they were performing in clown costumes i don't know if you saw that and she just got incensed and she wouldn't shut up about it i saw that because we went to see the arctic monkeys playing in france when we were there
And they were amazing.
And she was saying, oh, the Arctic monkeys.
Yes, I saw them on Jonathan Ross's programme.
They were dressed as clowns.
I thought it was pathetic.
Maybe she's got there's a name for clown phobia, isn't there?
Yeah.
There's the issue of the 14 times was all about it.
What's the problem with dressing like?
Well, it was just pathetic, I thought.
I mean, why?
Well, just for fun.
Yes, but it was pathetic.
I thought they looked silly.
So yeah, she wasn't having any of it.
Mums and dads, eh?
What are you going to do with them?
This is Adam and Joe on BBC 6 Music.
It's coming up to 9.30 in time for the news with Joe and Catherine.
Two quizzed about 11-year-olds shooting another arrest in Biker murder probe and GCSE pass rate up again.
And in 6 Music News, Pete under new police investigation, Dizzy leads the Mobile Awards and chart changes on the way.
It's 9.30 and Catherine Cracknell.
Two teenagers have been questioned about the murder of an 11-year-old boy in Liverpool.
Rhys Jones was gunned down outside a pub in the Croxteth area by a youngster on a BMX.
He'd been playing football with friends.
A 14-year-old and an 18-year-old have been arrested.
Bernard Hogan housed the chief constable of Merseyside.
So that doesn't prove anything.
What it shows is that we are determinedly trying to catch the people who committed this crime and they have been to arrest.
But there is much more work to be done and we are not yet confident enough to charge anyone.
So we need people to come forward and give us information.
They may be the people, they may not.
They may know the people who've done it.
There are many things to do in this investigation.
There's been another arrest over the murder of biker Jerry Tobin on the M40 in Warwickshire.
A man was picked up yesterday evening in Coventry on suspicion of murder.
In other 6music news, GCSE results are just out and they've improved again, with more students than ever getting top grades.
Almost one in five exam entries got an A star or A grade, with a 1% increase in the number of A star to C grades.
But at the same time, there's also concern that around 40% of pupils are leaving school without five passes.
Liz Hannams, the head teacher of Woolworths School in South London, she thinks there should be more focus on those with lower grades.
Well, the real concerns must be for the pupils who've always been the borderline.
They know that they're a dodgy, seedy borderline, and these pupils would have had hours of extra support and help funded by various organisations because this is how schools raise results.
The internet and mobile phones are changing people's leisure habits, whatever their age.

Six music sport, football and England coach Steve McLaren's refusing to rule out a change of goalkeeper for the autumn Euro 2008 qualifiers after Paul Robinson's latest blunder.
Robinson was at fault for Germany's equaliser in England's 2-1 defeat at Wembley last night.

More overcast though in the far south-east of England and the north-west.

Jo Yule's here now with the 6music news.
So police are investigating claims Pete Dougherty attacked a female photographer just 24 hours after he walked free from court this morning.
He says he's left her with bruises and clumps of hair missing after he allegedly assaulted her when she took pictures of him and his girlfriend as they sat drinking outside a pub.
The scuffler's meant to have kicked off in Somerset yesterday afternoon.
Now, last night he got nominated for four awards at the MOBOS, but Dizzy Rascal has been working with Pete and says he's just going for a rocky patch.
That man keeps loving the music.
He'll do his thing.
We've all got our guilty pleasures or whatever.
These people love him.
You get me?
That's that.
The pair will be hooking up for a tour in late November elsewhere at the MOBOs.
Bit of good news for Amy Winehouse, who also got four nods.

This is Adam and Joe on BBC6 music filling in for Shaun W Keaveny while he's sunning his sexy body somewhere in Italy.
Absolutely.
We don't know exactly where.
Eating sun-dried tomatoes.
If we try, if we find out the location, we will give it out on air.
Yeah?
Just so that he can be punished for his leisure.
Exactly.
So if you're in Italy, you can go and make friends with him.

Walking down a street in London.

Now, this track was released, the album was released in 1995, it was their second album, and the follow-up to Definitely Maybe.
Am I making this sound as if I'm just saying this off the top of my head?
Yeah.

Ask me about whether the band are releasing a new DVD.
Yes they are!
On the 29th of October.
It's called Lord, Don't Slow Me Down, and it's about the Don't Believe the Truth World Tour, which took place from May 2005 to March 2006.
Do you want a little name-dropping story now?
Oh, I suppose so.
I was at Dave Walliams birthday party on the weekend.
He's over.
Walliams.

He's just begun.

Who are you?
Exactly.
Who are you?
That's what I'm asking.
And I got nervous props off David Tennant.
I was very happy about that.
That's exciting, man.
But listen, back to the album of the day, Oasis with What's the Story Morning Glory.
The track we're playing is Hey Now, and you can hear further tracks from the album throughout the day here on BBC6Music.
To ride with my soul by the side of the road Just as the sky turned black I took a walk with my veins out of memory lane I never did find my way back You know that I've got the same time slipping away
I thought that I heard someone say now, there's no time for running.
Cause time's no shame
The last thing I saw as I walked through the door Was a sign on the wall that read It said you might never know That I want you to know What's written inside of your head And time as it stands won't be held in my hands Or living inside of my skin
I ask myself why, can I never let anyone in I thought that I'd let someone say that there's no time for running
My soul by the side of the road Just as the sky turned black
That's the album of the day here on BBC6Music.
Hey now from What's the Story Morning Glory by a band called Oasis.
Oasis.
Oh, it's you, you brat.
Now, I did say we weren't going to go back to our fantastic text the nation thing, but we've had a couple of texts that just have to be read out.
Of course, we were asking listeners to let us know about things that infuriate their parents or grandparents.
My gran, this is from Jay in Surrey.
My gran goes through the paper and scribbles Victoria Beckham's face out.
She's another good example actually of one that gets... I wonder what your dad would think about Victoria Beckham.
I have enough trouble dealing with her let alone if I was like over 70.
What is the... Can you encapsulate the problem you have with Victoria Beckham?
Well, you know, a word your dad uses a lot, Adam, is the word absurd.
Yeah.
And she is kind of the personification of absurdity, isn't she?
She looks absurd.
She says absurd things.
What is she saying?
She seems to lead an absurd life.
Yeah.
She launches absurd products.
Products?
Products.
It's like a terribly racist accent it wasn't intended to be but it just sort of came out of turned into one a quickly change the subject it
Here's another email on the same subject.
One of my dad's favourites is to comment on people on the TV, comment on their physical defects.
His favourite are bald people wearing wigs.
So for example, when an actor wearing a wig walks into any scene on any TV show, he'll be greeted by my dad shouting at the telly.
here he comes wiggy van wig nice he's really thought about that so when an actor's playing a detective it'll be followed up by oh yeah what you gonna do about that wiggy wiggy van wig wig wig wig wig wig the wig wig the wigster
Now it's time for a free choice.
This is one that I have selected for you.
Is it another Paul McCartney track off the Pipes of Peace?
You know, I really wanted to play just the same song that you play.
The Other Me?
Exactly.
The Other Me by Paul McCartney from Pipes of Peace.
So, you know, I'm going to play it again for you.
You're mocking me, aren't you?
I'm doing a little bit of mockery.
No, it's by Brendan Benson.
Brendan Benson may be known to some people as one half of the raconteurs with Jack White.
That's his side project.
His main project is just being himself, just being Brendan.
And this is from his excellent second album, which I found out the name of and now I've forgotten again.
Oh, I'm such a jerk.
But it's a really... I knew the name of the McCartney album.
Alternative to Love.
Yes, I remembered.
And the song is called What I'm Looking For.
Hope you enjoy it.
Well I don't know what I'm looking for But I know that I just wanna look some more And I won't be satisfied till there's nothing left that I haven't tried For some people it's an easy choice But for me there's a devil and an angel's voice Well I don't know what I am looking for But I know that I just wanna look some more
From the strangers in your head From friends that love never dies And love never ends And I don't wanna argue No, I don't wanna fight Cause you're always wrong And I'm always right Well I don't know what I am
I've lost it all and I don't feel a thing I may never grow up, I may never give in And I blame this world that I live in I visit hell on a daily basis And I see the sadness in all your faces I've got friends who are married and their lives seem complete And here I am still stumbling down a darkened street
Sometimes it creeps up on me And before I know it I'm lost at sea But no matter how far I roam I always find my way back home But I don't know what I've been waiting for But I know that
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 six music bank holiday monday from three this is adam and joe on six music coming up to the last like eight minutes of our show but they're gonna be an amazing eight minutes because we've got that brilliant edwin collins track coming up and a little bit of arctic monkeys joe's got his hood up on his top is that wrong and he's wearing his headphones over the hood is that wrong
He looks like... What do you look like?
You look like... Cool.
Mr. Cool.
That's what you look like.
You look like Mr. Cool.
I was trying to think.
Who is it?
Is it Mr. Pratt?
Is it Mr... Is it Mr. Nobbles?
Or is it Mr. Cool?
Mr. Nobbles?
I'm interested in Mr. Nobbles.
It's a combination of Mr. Nobbles and Mr. Cool.
Oh, hang on.
Now I get Mr. Nobbles.
It's the beginning of the word Nobbles, isn't it?
I'm going home tonight and when I get home I'm gonna watch some TV.
That's exciting stuff.
Okay, here's a record.
Where's this going?
The end of that was that while I'm watching TV, I'm going to be nervous because I've got new neighbours, right?
And for the last few nights, when they get back from work, I'm assuming, they start doing all the putting the house to rights and they start putting up pictures.
So they're banging, banging, banging while I'm listening to or watching the TV.
Now what is so far, they have not gone beyond 9pm with the banging.
Would you say that's appropriate behavior?
What's the cutoff for putting up pictures?
I think 9pm is probably right.
You've got to think of the children.
What time do children generally go to bed?
Well, they go to bed way before 9pm.
Well, then that's irresponsible.
They should know you've got young children and they should stop their banging earlier in the evening.
You know, sometimes before I had children and I was a less respectful member of the society,
when i moved into a flat i used to do a bit of late night putting up pictures but my technique to throw off the neighbors would be to do uh random banging do you know what i mean what do you mean like not regular i thought it would be more annoying if it was like bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang so what i would do is
Bang bang bang bang I tell you what better technique would be to be nailing in like seven nails Simultaneously in different areas around the house and do one bang on each nail at a time.
Oh, you know, so Yeah, well, no be just like moving around the house Oh, okay So there'd be a bang in the wall in the front room then suddenly one in the attic and just as they were complaining About that one, you know, you get my drift.
Yeah, he'd confuse them.
Oh

You used to get it in your fishnets Now you only get it in your night dress Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness Landed in a very common crisis Everything's an order in a black hole Nothing to pity as a pasto A bloody mammy's hacking at Tabasco Remember when you used to be a rascal?
Oh, the boy's a slag The best you ever had The best you ever had is just
Flicking through a little book of sexy tips Remember when the boys were all electric?
And now when she's told she's gonna get it I'm guessing that she'd rather just forget it Clinging to not getting sentimental Said she wasn't going but she went still Like she had to meet her to be gentle Was it a macadabra or a betting pencil?
Oh look boys it's
But as daft as they seem, as daft as they seem
You took a left off last life lane Just sounding it out But you're not coming back again You're falling about You took a left off last life lane
