That was Suede with Filmstar.
Good morning.
This is Adam and Joe here on BBC6 Music on a Friday morning.
It's apparently going to be a fantastically beautiful sunny weekend.
That's right.
Although I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday and he was saying, what if it's just a...
a government conspiracy, the whole weather forecast thing.
They tell you it's going to be sunny, to keep you down, to stop you complaining, to cheer you up, and then it doesn't materialise.
Because the last couple of days, they said yesterday was going to be decent, the government.
Well, it was everywhere but London.
Was it?
Yeah.
That's what I'm saying.
Local London government.
Do you think?
Well, we'll find out.
This weekend will be proof, and on Monday we'll know whether we're all victims of a shadow weather conspiracy.
Yeah, exactly.
A shadowy weather conspiracy.
Welcome to the show.
We've got a terrific show lined up for you listeners.
We've got great music this hour, some De La Soul coming up, some Calvin Harris, that lovely Edwin Collins track.
I'm looking forward to that.
Fantastic.
We're also going to be talking about, you know, kind of friend networks, Myspace, Facebook type places, Twitter.
What's the other one?
Bebo?
Bebo.
I'm thinking about maybe what's next.
for the friend networking online phenomenon.
And also we have Textination in the second hour of our program here today.
Our amazing feature with its own jingle that we created specially just this week for the feature.
Yeah, in fact, we'll be serving up a delicious hot waffle for you all morning for breakfast.
High quality, delicious waffle with some inane sauce drizzled over the top.
Let's have some music now though.
This is the Kaiser Chiefs with the angry mob.
You're so fucked up till you turn it blue Repeating everything that you read So here we go with the light up How can you fix it with me?
It starts with just one and turns to two then three It's only cause you came here with your brothers too If you came here on your own you'd be dead Raise a glass until you raise a fist or two And get a shopping basket right round your head
We like who we like, we hate to hate, but we're all so easily swayed We are the angry mob, we read the papers every day We like who we like, we hate to hate, but we're all so easily swayed We are the angry mob, we read the papers every day
So they're the angry mob.
read the papers every day yeah it's just the Kaiser chiefs is it yeah they like who they like they hate who they hate and they like to buy the papers the papers every day they didn't read the pay all the papers every day maybe they wouldn't be so angry maybe they chill out you know yeah exactly yeah you know exactly
So, I had an alarming incident yesterday.
Did you?
Listeners, Adam.
Yeah, what happened?
I tried to log on to my MySpace page.
Right.
www.myspace.com forward slash Joe Cornish.
For the first time in about a month, I imagine you tried to log on there.
Yeah.
And it had been varicified.
Viralized?
Hackadoodled.
Why?
I don't know but I couldn't log in and then my email inbox started to fill up with messages from my spurious MySpace friends saying that I was offering them a deal on back to school trousers.
Oh really, they were complaining because they've been getting weird spam from you.
They were either complaining that I was offering them back to school trouser offers or that they tried to buy the back to school trousers and hadn't had any luck and the discount wasn't what I was promising them.
I suddenly found myself sucked into a school trouser selling kind of confusion.
School trousers?
And there was no sort of sexy aspect to this was there?
what you mean a sort of dirty one yeah because usually no it was purely a money off clothing offer that's unusual it is unusual isn't it yeah because usually with the net anything spam spam style yeah is either purely financial like please give us your bank details honestly we're from your bank look we've printed the logo of your bank in the corner of this piece of spam usually the royal bank of scotland
All of them do it.
All of them.
Barclays, Bank of Scotland, NatWest, anyone will do it.
They'll stick the logo in the corner there and ask you to get in touch.
I don't have an account with the Royal Bank of Scotland but they daily try and get my details from me.
Couple of times I've been tempted.
Have you?
To follow the link.
I'll put your details in, just in case there's some money waiting for you.
Well, I don't wanna, you know, they're carrying out emergency checks and my PIN number's been used.
They need to check the security.
They need my details.
Oh, I better give them.
Anyway, do you want to hear the end of my story, my MySpace story?
I changed my password, put up an apology, and that's the end.
Is it?
Yeah.
You changed your password, so no more spam hacking.
So somewhat, it's very easy to find the passwords of these things.
My brother, who's an IT guy, was telling me that with
Wi-Fi as well.
It's very easy to hack people's passwords You know what I mean?
If you go and there was a story in the paper yesterday about a bloke who got arrested for using Some random guys Wi-Fi standing outside his house The cops saw him with his laptop and he was tapping away on his laptop sat on the wall of some blokes house They arrested him for you illegally using somebody else's Wi-Fi.
He'd hacked into their passwords
It's a can of electronic worms.
And he's looking at six months, this guy, or a hefty fine.
So, you know, don't do anything.
Just don't.
Just whatever you're thinking of doing today, don't.
Put it down.
Here's De La Soul with Say No Go.
Let's get right on down to the skit A baby was brought into a world of piss And if we could've talked that soon in a delivery room It would've asked the nurse who I'd hit The reason for this?
The mother is a jerk, excuse me, junkie Was brought the work of the old into a new life, what a way But this what a way has been a way up to date Anyway, Push couldn't shove me to understand a path to a bay set Cause Shuma should've raced it in a first place
Y'all can't have none of that, tell her what to say, Mace
Word, word to the mother, I'll tell the truth, so bear my witness.
Blind like birds of a feather, dressed her like clever, you don't wanna wear it.
No need to ask that question, just don't mention, you know what the answer is.
Now I never fancied Nancy, but the statement she made held a plate of weight, I even stressed it to Wayne.
Did he take any heat?
Now the boy was hooked, you could phrase the word base, and the kid just
People say, what have I done for all my years?
My tears show my heart and work, I heard shoving is worse than pushing
Believe it or not, the plot forms a feat more than charity.
But the cost doesn't coincide with the ride of insanity.
Is it a chant that slant the soul to feel for it?
I know it's the border that forms the order to kill for it.
Standing, steaming on a young one Thinking it's time eight balls for a cool, cool player Racked it all, tried to break mischief Got beat by the boy in blue Next day you're out by the spot once more Looking hard for a crack in the hole I asked what's the fix for the ill stuff Word to the D-roll, the answer should've been no
Run me a score from the funky four, plus one more.
Rewind that back.
This is the age for a new stage of fiend.
Watch how the zombies scream, it's the crack.
Plain as plain, they should've slain it from the start.
Behind the ideals of cranking up the heart, now the base claims shock over every part.
Day Last Soul.
That sounds great, doesn't it?
It's wonderful stuff.
Still one of the all-time great hip-hop albums.
How many years later?
89.99.
2009, almost 20 years later.
It's amazing.
18 years later.
But it was never a particularly well-produced album.
What are you talking about?
I'm talking about the fact that it sounded as if it was recorded in a bucket much of it and you know because they made it all themselves in their bedrooms.
Yeah but on those terms it was incredibly well produced.
Well... I know what you mean it doesn't sort of sound expansive.
It's not beefy.
And it doesn't have all the knob twiddling going on.
Yeah, it's not beefy.
That's true in the way modern hip-hop albums are.
But in terms of the technical achievement... Yes, absolutely.
...it's extraordinary and it was revolutionary.
And kids, if you haven't got that album, you can buy it for about £4 now, I think.
Three, probably.
You're mad.
You should go and buy it today.
Whatever sort of music you like.
Exactly.
Everyone should own Three Feet High and Rising.
by De La Soul.
And it's actually got some semi-amusing talking bits in between the tracks.
Yeah, one of the first hip-hop albums to feature skits, which since became one of the most annoying features of hip-hop albums.
In fact, there's a kind of a phoning to be done on the worst possible skit on a hip-hop album.
But those were pretty good ones, even though they get quite tiresome after a few listens.
Yeah, yeah, and it's certainly not something you want to stick on a compilation, I wouldn't think.
No, but you can skip the, skip the... Skip the skits?
Skits, yeah.
Couldn't quite get my mouth round that this early in the morning.
Now we're talking about MySpace and, you know, that kind of thing.
Well, MySpace particularly.
Joe's very keen to boost his MySpace friend percentage.
Yes.
And he's almost at a thousand folks.
Yeah, come on.
Do you want to be friends with Joe Cornish?
log on to... There's very little to it.
Well, you can find it.
What do you do when you log on to... I find Myspace quite annoying.
And I'm thinking of shutting down my... You've got a Myspace as well, haven't you?
My account.
Well, I was told by an agent.
She said, because I was going to go over to America, the land of Coca-Cola and golden nuggets.
and um i was gonna go over to america and she said listen uh you need a myspace account because people you know in america they need to see the stuff you're doing you can post some of your videos there and it's easy for the agents just to log on to your myspace page and i said well i've got a blog she said no it's not the same
I said, well, it surely is the same.
You just type in the address of my blog and then you can see all my videos there.
No, they like MySpace right now.
So you need a MySpace page.
I bet she's not saying that anymore.
No.
Because in fact, MySpace is kind of over, isn't it?
You would think so.
It's all about Facebook.
How many, because you can only deal with one of these things at a time.
Like who, what Facebook freak, like Edgar Wright, your friend, our friend, is a, he used to be a MySpace.
He does both now.
Does he do both?
Does he maintain them in tandem?
What we're trying to think about here, listeners, is what's going to happen next in the world of electronic networking.
The innovation that Facebook brought to the table was that even if you weren't on it, you'd receive an email from a friend who was.
And with one click, suddenly you'd have a profile.
Right?
Yeah.
Facebook is kind of invasive.
It's like a virus.
YouTube does send you messages.
It's as if Facebook has a profile for you even though you don't know it.
Right.
And people are talking about you and inviting you and poking you.
It's like there's a party happening and someone's had a party in your name in their house.
Hey, there's a Joe Cornish party going on.
Come along, Joe Cornish.
What?
Okay then.
It's that kind of thing.
I don't understand though.
I got sucked into, I don't care about Facebook but yet I'm still on it.
You get sucked into it like an evil electronic tendril wrapping itself around your ankle.
But does Edgar do both of his pages?
Does he maintain them the whole time?
You don't have to really maintain Facebook do you?
You just have to respond.
You do kind of have to.
Some people maintain it.
Do they?
Some people spend ages on it.
Yeah he does both.
Yeah yeah yeah.
But what's the next one going to be?
What's going to supersede Facebook?
If you've got any thoughts on this text us on 64046.
You can email us adamandjoe.sixmusicatbbc.co.uk.
The guy that invented Facebook is 23.
He's a billionaire.
Yeah.
So there's someone out there who's going to have the next little tiny little incremental progressive idea to push this technology forward.
It could be you listening at home.
It could be you.
Text us in your ideas for the next step that interactive electronic websites should take and hey we can share some of the money Chum bucket what that would be the natural name.
That's the name next size true.
We got to start with a name Bebo Facebook it's got to be a kind of catchy name yak bag should we have some more music while we think yeah absolutely This is Emma Pollock with acid test
Does not feel like a home Is it occupied?
This life has no one that I own Do I dramatize?
These days I think I'll stay at home By the fireside Just leave the outdoors to get on While I theorize There is nothing here to celebrate
At least three times in a single week I am underground There is no warning I can't seek I am always found There is no right or reason to be
I just fall until it's got me.
If it fits, then wear it.
You can hear me as I cherish it.
I've carved your name out.
So you're blue.
I picked your city.
Think I need to shake up, wake up fast Forgive a little hope, I won't let it last But every little day that passes Something is fixing and something is broken This conversation is no longer token

He's away for one more week.
He's in Tuscany.
After this in Tuscany.
Yeah imagine.
Having a nice Tuscan time.
Tuscan raiders.
And yeah dealing with the sand people.
Is that what the Tuscan American football team are called?
Tuscan raiders.
Tuscan raiders and they're all Star Wars themed.
Do you think?
That's where sand people come from.
If they're not they're missing a trick.
Yeah.
So we were just talking about the kind of friends networking phenomenon that continues to reinvent itself online and wondering what would be next for the world of Myspaces and Facebooks and things like that.
We were thinking some kind of site where people post, scrawl an innuendo about you, right?
Yeah, using that Facebook mechanism of receiving an email
uh which kind of tantalizingly suggests that people are talking about you in another room uh you receive an email from this website what's it called this website well we had a couple of names we thought maybe uh jerk circle slag bucket so you receive an email it says uh um someone has slagged you off on slag bucket yeah or you're a jerk find out why on
Well you might have to offer them a little bit more it might say something like Roderick has said you're unreliable and stink on Slagbucket.
Click here to refute these claims.
Now you couldn't not refute those because as far as you're concerned on Slagbucket lots of people you know are gossiping in a malicious way about you and you'd have to intervene to to put it right.
Exactly I mean that's the backbone of the the whole internet.
is people ill-advisedly responding to things that have been said about them anyway.
Provocation.
And people can't resist, like people responding to all kinds of criticism.
Electric provocation.
That's my new album title.
That would be a lovely album title.
I'd buy that one.
And you know, you can't resist it.
As soon as you see something, I mean probably you and I have probably done ill-advised little bits of emailing in the past and I've certainly got into a couple of
Very, very bad contretemps on the internet.
It's a disaster area.
So, you know, carry on thinking, folks.
Give us some of your ideas for directions that these places could go in.
Yeah, what's the next step?
What's the next multi-billion pound website that'll convince us all to join it?
We could all get rich off this, you know.
Now, it's time for my session track.
This is a Peel session from 2001, and it's the White Stripes, one of John Peel's favourite bands.
And they're playing a track here called Lafayette Blues.
Enjoy.
Adams pick of the BBC archive.
Ride it, ride it, set it to rock and roll
All right, White Stripes, calm down.
Oh, it's a smash.
That's the White Stripes with Lafayette Blues from the John Peel Sessions.

Good morning.
Detectives in Liverpool hunting the killer of 11-year-old Reece Jones say they're looking for a white boy aged between 13 and 15.
Reece's parents have made an emotional appeal for people to come forward with information about who may have shot their son, saying they'd lost their world and the world lost a good guy.
People know.
Someone knows who's done it.
And I know people must be frightened, but they've got to think that they can't leave this killer out there.
It could be their son, it could be their brother next time, because it'll happen again.
If he's not caught, it'll happen again.
My baby was only 11.
He didn't deserve this.
Also making six music news this morning, a senior doctor is warning that stroke patients in the UK are more likely to die or suffer serious disability than in other Western European countries.
Professor Hugh Marcus says that the UK provides inferior treatment despite spending the same amount on care.
One key thing seems to be that in Europe, stroke is treated much more than emergency and a lot of effort is put into treating the acute stroke patients, scanning them quickly, instituting treatment urgency.
The BBC has learnt the NHS has paid out more than £80 million in redundancy costs after merging strategic health authorities in England, which was set up only five years ago.
The number of parents complaining children have been taken from them unfairly has risen to record levels.
Campaigners say social workers are acting too hastily in many cases.
Prisoners have been evacuated from part of Maidstone Jowling, Kent after evidence of Legionella bacteria was found.
The bug was discovered in the prison's water supply.
The Hollywood actress Lindsay Lohan has been jailed for a day after pleading guilty to drink driving and drug charges.
She's also been ordered to do community service and complete a drug treatment program.
And the actress Nicole Ritchie has been released from Jowling, California after serving 82 minutes of a four-day sentence for driving under the influence of drugs.
Officials say she was freed early because of overcrowding and the weather were a lot of cloud around for southern and eastern England today the best of any sunshine in southwest England and Wales should be pretty much dry though the weather Sorry highs of 22 degrees in Cardiff 20 in London and 18 degrees in Belfast now with six music news Adrian Larkin

Meanwhile lost profits were named best British band, and newcomers went to gallows the lads from Hertfordshire have already signed to a major and reckon they're flying right now.
To prove how good he is, I think that's five out of six of his bands have just won the latest British newcomers award, so anyone who wants to give him the most jokes amount of money, he's just done five out of six of them.
Now pick up the papers this morning and it's Amy Winehouse all over some of the tabloids.

Is someone
I'm in love in love with someone you should've fallen in love with
Well, that's a good question.
I suppose the answer would have to be yes.
That's the Buzzcocks with Ever Fallen in Love.
And this is Adam and Joe here on the BBC covering for Sean Keveny on BBC6 music.
Yeah, good morning.
Hope you're feeling all happy and perky this morning, ready for the amazing weekend that's coming up, the big bank holiday.
Three days of pure enjoyment and sunshine.
We've been promised sunshine.
Yeah, there's going to be sunshine here in London.
And as I keep saying, Adam, it has been sunny in the rest of the country.
That's what you say.
But we're broadcasting nationally now.
It's important to embrace the rest of the country and not be too London-centric.
It has been sunny like in a couple of places, but generally the weather has not been great in the UK over the last week.
But it is going to be an amazing weekend.
Right.
Yeah?
And the best thing is you got Monday off.
So imagine what Sunday night's going to be like.
Yeah.
It's gonna be a crazy party.
Everyone's gonna be naked, drunk, throwing their own doings at the wall.
That's my kind of party.
It's gonna be incredible.
The house is gonna be messed up.
The car's gonna be driven through the neighbour's front room.
People won't wash.
People won't wash.
No, there'll be tents on the roof.
Slates missing.
Sink pulled out of the thing.
Yeah.
rude words written in lipstick on your mum's bum it's gonna be off the hook man that's you've described my ideal party sunday night yeah yes and my what oh yeah absolutely can't wait it's the mum's bum thing that you you like most now i'm thinking of what i'm gonna write
Because there's enough room there to write quite a bit.
Poor old mum.
Poor old mum.
So listen, we've been discussing what the next step forward will be in the internet social website networking phenomenon.
That's the correct phrase, isn't it?
Yes.
Internet social networking phenomenon.
The INFP.
We had the idea for, what was it called?
Slagbucket.
Jerk Circle or Slagbucket or Slagbag.
Yeah, where you receive a provocative email in your inbox informing you that people you don't know or slightly know are talking about you in a malicious way on a website that you then feel compelled to log on to and join, because who wouldn't?
Here's another idea I've had.
CGI technology, virtual paintings have taken massive steps forward.
It's easy to do.
A toddler can do it now.
In fact, toddlers made Shrek 3, wrote it and made it.
So I hear.
I believe so, they were subnormally intelligent.
But anyway, it's so easy now that I think a good idea would be to start a website where people who aren't you, but that know you, make a naked you.
Right, they're called Frankensteins on the internet.
It's called yourbits.com.
Yeah.
An avatar of you has been created on yourbits.com.
So somewhere there's a naked picture of you with all your details, all your circles, triangles and tubes on display.
All the geometric shapes laid out for all to see.
You couldn't not click on that.
So this is actually this is not the same as a Frankenstein because a Frankenstein is just your face grafted onto somebody else's body.
But you're talking about constructing a nudie from scratch.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
Telling all.
Yeah.
So they've taken pictures of you.
No, no, they haven't.
It's imaginary.
No, but listen, they've taken pictures of you.
And they've sort of constructed from with a CGI model what you would look like without clothes.
Exactly.
Right.
So so it's sort of realistic.
yeah oh no it's photo realistic and they've posed you in a revealing pose yeah maybe with a celebrity or something now how could you not click onto that and the thing is to access that picture you've got to put in your details you've got to log in deets and that's the key with something like facebook you log in to see what people have said about you and then you're hooked you're hooked you're in the web yeah so both of those are brilliant ideas what would you call that one listeners uh bits box
Bit torrent.
Yeah something like that.
If you've got ideas listeners please text us in 64046 obviously we're getting hundreds of texts but it would be true to say that between seven and eight in the morning when our listenership are a bit groggy we don't get as many texts as we do later in the show so yours is almost guaranteed to be read out.
But if I'm making it sound like we're not getting any, that's wrong.
Because we're getting millions.
Millions.
Music now.
This is Arcade Fire with Neighborhood number two.
Come on, you can do it!
Don't ask for something

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.
There you go, there's something else to look forward to on Bank Holiday Monday, Harry Hill's show.
That's sure to be great.
It'll be fantastic.
It's Adam and Joe on BBC 6 Music, it's quarter to eight in the morning, and it's Friday, so you know, you just gotta get through today, then it's fun time.
Crackerjack.
Crackerjack time.
Yeah.
Exactly.
No excuse to be miserable today.
No, exactly.
If you're miserable today, then I hate you.
That's a bit much.
What if something terrible's happened?
No, I went too far.
Yeah.
Okay, it's time for my session, Track.
And this morning, here's some associates.
This is from John Peel, Radio One session on the 28th of April, 1981.
What were you doing on the 28th of April, 1981, Adam?
You know, you've actually got diaries, haven't you, Adam Buxton?
Yeah, but not from the... Well, I was writing a diary.
Not from 81?
That would be a cool thing to do when you play session tracks on the show.
You could give us a flashback to what you were doing on the day that session was recorded.
My diaries are a little bit erratic.
Around then I was writing a story on a roll of lavatory paper.
Were you really?
Yeah, on a pink roll.
Like the Marquis de Sade.
Is that what he did?
Yeah, he wrote his erotic doings on a toilet roll in prison during the French Revolution.
There you go.
There you go, fact fans.
Well, I was doing something very similar and I was sporting a couple of parallel scratches on my cheek that I got from running through some bushes.
And you thought you looked a bit like Adam Ant.
You looked a lot like Adam Ant.
And I thought, I'm the coolest.
And when the scars started to fade,
I was very much tempted to deepen them.
You know that's a potential text the nation isn't it?
Visible injuries that after they stopped hurting you were actually quite happy with.
Like Bruce Willis in Die Hard 4.0 he's got a ludicrous set of scratches that are just designed to look cool.
Yeah or Harrison Ford's scar on his chin.
Yeah.
That's one of the hallmarks of a successful Hollywood action hero is to be able to be scarred in a sexy way.
Sexy and scarred.
So anyway, here's some associates from April 1981.
This is a track called Me, Myself and the Tragic Story.
Joe's pick of the BBC archive.
Oh dearie me.
Oh dear, if that hasn't woken you up nothing will.
That's The Associates recorded for John Peel on Radio 1 on the 28th of April 1981.
It's a track called Me, Myself and the Tragic Story.
We can't figure out whether that comes off an Associates album or whether that's a track that only really existed live or maybe a b-side or something.
It sounds as if they may have just made it up.
As on the spot, they only ever played it once.
Yeah.
So...
You don't understand the associates.
They're good, man.
They're a great band.
Do text us or email us if you know the source of that track.
But it was a good one, wasn't it?
It was pretty... It was hardcore associates.
It had some pretty nuts.
Delightful nuts.
Now, we've been asking you to text us in with your suggestions for the next step that the phenomenon... Phenomenon.
Phenomenon.
Phenomenon.
Ah, I'm so tired.
What the next step that social networking sites will take?
Carry on talking Adam, please.
One of the beds come in to try and give us a bit of pep.
Emergency!
Fade up the bed!
Get James Brown in please!
It's like the radio equivalent of one of those pulmonary heart restart things.
What are they called?
Yes, yes, those shocker things.
I can't think, my brain normally doesn't even start working until about two in the afternoon.
Well you know, listeners, we're almost at the halfway point in our two week stint filling in for Shaun Keeney and it's been a bit of a cold shower for us getting up this early and trying to be like lucid.
You know, because it's like, I've got up early in my life before, right?
Yeah.
Because every now and again you have to, maybe to catch a plane or something like that.
Yeah, or if you're filming something for telly you have to get up terribly early.
But not day after day.
Not today!
Like maybe three times in a row, that's the most it's ever happened to me.
For us it's like a kind of David Blaine art magic experiment isn't it?
It's like we're trapped in a sort of glass box suspended over central London
uh very early every morning and like through the and i feel like i'm jet lagged the rest of the day and and my groggy brain just gets little snatches of things that i said on this radio show coming back to me and just some of the malformed mangled rubbish sentences that i've come out with just come back to haunt me throughout the rest of the day but you're not
know what the vast majority of people who listen between 7 and 10 will probably be getting up this early regularly I know exactly I think we're a couple of spoiled mollycoddled yeah I don't know what the word would be dicks very possibly the word I don't think so I don't think that would be the word yeah
Um, anyway, should we have a little bit more music?
Yeah, okay.
While we punish you for saying that.
Oh, come on, I'm allowed that.
Are we gonna have some Edwin Collins?
Yeah, this is, uh, Edwin Collins' terrific new single, I love this one, it's called You'll Never Know.
Was torn into More than a little confused Am I her yesterday's view?
And even though I can't forget you My head won't let you
Very good, isn't it?
That's Edwin Collins' new single, You'll Never Know.
I just love hearing his voice.
It's like hearing the voice of an old friend.
That's true, isn't it?
He was the soundtrack of many of our favourite youthful moments.
Yes.
All of which are gone now.
We were very old.
We've been asking you listeners to email in with your suggestions of how social networking sites will progress in the future, how we can all make millions of pounds like the child who invented Facebook, who's now living in a massive house made out of jelly beans.
So here is some of the stuff what you've texted in.
First of all, dear Adam and Joe, please read this text out.
Love from Andy and Amanda.
That's a good one.
Thanks Andy and Amanda.
I done it.
Here's another one.
Is that all I have to say?
Please read this out.
I thought that deserved to be read out.
It's blunt cheekiness attracted me.
Ok here's one that's on topic.
The site would be called nosebag.
It would open your emails for you and spread rumours about you.
That's quite a good one isn't it you just get an email saying nosebag has intercepted your emails and cc'd them to the following people.
Yeah that's quite good.
Yeah and in order to stop that happening you'd have to log on to nosebag and that nosebag would have you it would be able to start selling advertising and the inventor of nosebag would be a billionaire.
yeah yeah and it's also not totally dissimilar to what happens already except in reverse because you know a lot of the time you find yourself getting emails saying somebody has sent you a message on facebook so you have to log into facebook to see the message that they could have just emailed to you in the first place
Dear me.
You know what I'm saying?
Sorry I got a little angry.
You were angry about that.
A little furious there.
But you know like all you've done is double the time it takes you to read a message.
I know.
Someone has made the point that Facebook is just the internet anyway.
It's just the internet called Facebook and controlled by Facebook.
There's nothing that Facebook does that can't just be generally done on the internet.
Well it narrows the field doesn't it?
It makes it more localised so that it's just that you're just the people that presumably you once bumped into that you're dealing with.
Dominic has taken on our idea of the the bits and bobs.com the site that would create a a naked avatar of you that you'd be compelled to log on to check the size of your been nude you He says I like the bits idea.
Could it be like Wikipedia?
So anybody who's genuinely seen you naked could edit the photos so they become more and more accurate That's it.
So you have your nude avatar and it would say yesterday.
This nude avatar was edited by Trish who you
slept with when you were 22 and she's made your winkle smaller.
That's right.
Trish remembers that you had an unsightly birthmark in your left inner thigh.
Exactly.
Which she has added to you.
That's a very good idea Dominic.
Very good.
Here's one more final one.
This is my favourite from Erin in Radcliffe.
The next big internet thing will be a mashup of MySpace and Facebook called sit on my Facebook.
right how is that a mashup of myspace and facebook i don't know let's ask the news readers because it's time for news on bbc6 music read by catherine and adrian digital radio digital tv bbc6 music the top story is at eight i'm catherine cracknell the parents of 11 year old reese jones shot dead in niverport on wednesday have pleaded for help in finding his killer detectives are looking for a white youth age between 13 and 15
A senior doctor says stroke treatment has to be improved in the UK.
Professor Hugh Marcus warns Britain has the worst record on stroke victims in Western Europe.
And the number of parents complaining their children have been unfairly taken from them and adopted has risen to record levels.
Campaigners say social workers have acted incorrectly in more than 100 cases.
And the weather best at the sunshine in Wales and the West Country today.
Elsewhere, quite a bit of cloud around
with possibly some light rain in southeast England, highs into the late teens, early 20s.
Adrian Larkin's got the six music news.
Our top story this hour, rock's finest, a couple of Hollywood stars and a monkey made it to last night's Kerrang!
Awards.
Enta Shikari picked up two trophies whilst 30 Seconds to Mars won best single for the kill.
We'll be hearing from some of those winners in the next Bulletin at 8.30.
BBC.
Six.
Music.
BBC Six Music Closer to the music that matters 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 full You feel so proud beside her 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 what it is
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 I don't know what it is she's got, let's go with me
scientific visions entwined in one another there she goes with summer in the air
There she goes with summer in her hair?
Yeah.
Is that a track by Timotei?
Mmm.
Yeah, that's Beatific Visions.
Does Timotei still exist?
I don't know if it does, you know.
Timotei!
I think it might have been phased out.
Really?
Because they found that it wasn't real sunshine they were using.
Really?
Yeah.
What were they using?
Just nuclear bits?
Yeah, all they'd done was fried up some drizzle.
Really?
Yeah.
And they'd kind of blasted it with neutrons.
You're so clever.
You're so clever, you know everything.
I do know everything, I'm like Stephen Fry.
Hey this is Adam and Joe, this is BBC6 music, it's five past eight, it's the middle of our exciting breakfast show, it's a Friday, so it couldn't be more exciting here in the studio.
If only it wasn't so early, that's the only thing, struggling a little bit.
But we are going to talk to Ben right now because he's our serial thriller today.
He's picked out a couple of tracks for us.
Ben Kelly, that's a good name.
Ben, are you there?
Good morning, Adam.
Good morning, Joe.
Hey, you sound like a sensible, level-headed kind of a person.
Well, thank you very much.
And you should be, because you work for American Express.
Yes, I do, for my sins, yes.
What kind of things do you do for them?
What will you be doing when you go into the office today, Ben?
Looking on the internet, probably.
And do you spend a lot of time just goofing off and pretending to work and just looking at stuff on YouTube?
You see that's a good answer.
He's saying yes, but in a way that doesn't compromise his employment.
Yeah, cuz someone from work might be listening.
They can't fire you retrospectively.
Boss is on holiday, nice.
Favourite film, Ben, can we ask you?
I think it's Midnight Express.
Oh now that's a great film.
It is a great it's it's it's a weird film to have to have as your favourite though because it's quite do you like watch it and you know over and over again do you come home and think oh I really fancy seeing a man molested in the shower a traumatic drugs bust and then somebody speared through the back of the head by a by a clothes peg.
Really, well they're the three top moments in that film.
Come on, what's the fourth top moment is when he gets a visit from his girlfriend and he's at such a sorry position in his life that I won't go into.
Yeah, kids if you haven't seen Midnight Express it's
It's an ideal film to watch when you're about 14, isn't it?
Yes.
And when you sort of don't know that that kind of thing ever went down in the world.
So there's two recommendations for younger listeners.
De La Soul's Three Feet High and Rising and a copy of Midnight Express.
Directed by Alan Parker and tragically the star of that film is no longer alive.
He died very young.
Now what's he called?
What is he called?
Do you know that Ben?
yeah it's not Brian Keith somebody Billy something someone can text us that we'll find out for a favorite film it's surprising you don't know the name of the lead actor very strange disappointed with you better you've actually seen the film
never seen in my life that's what I thought and you went go-karting last weekend he's not six you did you said that and you went go-karting last weekend he is he's a genius six-year-old who works for American Express advising them on how to make the company more attractive to six-year-old was it did you win the go-karting I was rubbish I thought all those years of Mario Kart would have paid dividends
Really on my stag weekend.
We went go-karting.
I was excited about it I think I may have come second or even one I got really competitive Joe had a little kind of brain fart and I'm with Ben and cuz I play a lot of Mario Kart as well Yeah, I was hoping it would translate to the real world.
It doesn't know.
No, what do you have anything to fire?
He was puttering along at the back
You got really terrified, did you get frightened Ben?
I did, I had a little skid mark.
That's not a very nice thing to say.
On the actual track we're assuming.
Yeah, there you go.
Now what music have you picked out for us today Ben?
I've got Primal Spring Loaded and Granddaddy Crystal Lake.
Oh Crystal Lake, that's a lovely track.
Does that have anything to do with the Friday the 13th films?
Crystal Lake.
Because of course it's Camp Crystal Lake where they all get chopped up.
Isn't it Ben?
Does that have anything to do with that?
It may well do, listen carefully to the lyrics.
We're going to play that one first but thank you very much indeed Ben.
Thanks guys, have a great weekend.
Yeah same to you.
Here's the Friday the 13th noise.
There you go and this is Granddaddy with Crystal Lake.
you
We should never have left the crystal lake The party's full of folks and flake Italian leather winter games Retired by the dirt flames The crystal lake, it only laughs It knows you're just a model man It's shining like a chain
And find my way again I've lost my way
She never left the crystal lake For areas where trees are fake And dogs are dead with broken hearts Clapsing by the coffee cart
It's the crystal lake, it only lasts Knows you're just a modern man It's shining like a chandelier Shining somewhere far away from here
and find my way again I've lost my way again
Adam and Joe on 6music.
We want to be free.
We want to be free to do what we want to do.
And we want to get loaded.
And we want to have a good time.
And that's what we're gonna do.
We're gonna have a good time.
We're gonna have a party.
I don't wanna lose you now I don't wanna lose you now
Just what is it that you want to do?
The new football season on the BBC.
Already a day of reckoning.
And he's pointed to the spot.
Never a penalty in a million years.
For the life of me, I understand why you gave the decision.
Sven is a good club manager.
It was one of the great performances I've seen in any day.
There we go, that was this week's serial thriller courtesy of Ben Kelly,
Thanks a lot Ben nice choices.
We were talking about where the sample came from in the primal scream track loaded and It was Peter Fonda in a film called the wild angel all about bikers I think he made it before easy rider.
I think did he done it He did done it before and he writer I think and that was a little sample from it there So thanks a lot Ben.
Yeah good tracks
yeah and hello we're Adam and Joe this is BBC six music it's just coming up to 20 past 8 we're doing the breakfast show this week we've done it all this week it's all sorted love should take another week invoice will be in the post we'll be out don't use it for a couple of days let it settle don't worry Keven will be back yeah we'll be here for about another week do you want me to sweep that up?
yeah it's not a problem we can paint we can fix all that guarantee for two years have you been having dreams about your builders again no no i was telling adam i had a bizarre dream the other day where i was very angry with with my builder friend who's uh adam and i used the same builder he's a lovely guy yeah i've got no reason to be angry with him no but in this dream i was furious with him he'd uh completely re-wallpapered a wall that i didn't want re-wallpapering you idiot i was so angry yeah
I just must be angry about something else.
In your dream, when you were angry with him, were you expressing your anger in a manly way or were you a little bitch?
Was your voice cracking and were you sort of shaking and being a bit of a lady?
No, I just get dreams where I'm just full of furious energy and frustration, basically.
Frustration.
Right.
That's what my life's all about.
Yeah, because you're keeping it all buttoned up.
Keeping it all in.
Keeping it all in and then in your dreams you turn into it.
Not always, not every night.
Most nights!
But not every night.
Anyway, you're not allowed to talk about your dreams.
It's boring, right?
It is a little bit boring.
Yeah.
Now, listeners, we're going to be doing Text the Nation, which has become one of Britain's most loved
uh interactive things it's britain's favorite feature it's britain's favorite feature in the tv quick awards yeah it's been nominated for a mobo britain's favorite feature yeah it's an exciting feature that in which we do what we've done all through the show invite your texts but this time with a jingle
Yeah, is that good enough?
That is what people like.
That's what people want.
So that's exciting and we've got a really kind of slightly cheesy theme to text in on a sort of good stupid breakfast show type thing.
Yeah exactly because normally of course the level of debate and interaction here is highly intellectual.
It's very highbrow but we're going to be a little trivial today for you.
But before that
How about some more block rockin' beats from those Chemical Brothers?
Although the track is not block rockin' beats, that was a bad introduction because it used the name of one of their other tracks.
Anyway, this is called the Salmon Dance.
So how about some salmon dancing from the Chemical Brothers?
That's what I mean.
Hello, boys and girls.
My name is Fatlip, and this is my friend, Samminas salmon.
Today, we're going to teach you some fun facts about salmon and a brand new dance.
to a brand new dance.
I know you're gonna love it if you give it one chance.
It's not complicated.
It's not too hard.
You don't even have to be a hip hop star.
See, anyone can do it.
All you need is style.
Listen up, P-Gang.
I'ma show you how.
Put your hands to the side, as silly as it seems, and shake your body
Deeps spent part of their life in frontal water and part of their life in salt water.
Wow.
Very good.
We change rats a couple of days after spawning, then we die.
When I first did the salmon, all the people just laughed.
They looked around and stood like I was on fire.
I heard somebody say out loud, what the fuck is that?
This dude been dancing like a fish while he's doing the snap.
But the more I kept doing it, the more they be feeling it.
And then I heard some distressing.
of the night everyone was on my team and the whole club was dancing like the salmon for him
which is even more keen than that of a dog or a bear.
Wow.
My family also rely on ocean currents, tides, gravitational pull of the moon.
Off to the moon.
Fish pay attention to the moon.
Wow.
Look here.
Did you know?
What?
That I could go to Japan and back
Wow.
Hey, kids.
Hey, give it up for Sammy the Salmon and his amazing salmon dance.
What do you say?
All right.
Who's hungry?
Me, I'm hungry.
That's the Chemical Brothers with the Salmon Dance and that features Fatlip.
Is that the Fatlip formerly of The Far Side?
I think it must be, yeah.
It must be.
Listeners, Fatlip is a bit of a genius.
He was the lead rapper type person of a fantastic hip hop group called The Far Side who sadly split up after making a couple of amazing albums.
But he did release a solo album in America only that I bought a couple of copies of.
A couple of copies of when I was last over there and it's brilliant.
all the tracks are too sweary so I've never been able to play them on the radio right but fat lip is a genius what's it called the album I can't remember oh yeah I can't remember I'll find out for you in a second I do love it though it's one of those albums that I love so much I never really paid attention to the title you ever get that you just stick it in and stick it in iTunes and
Kind of forget what it's called, especially in the computer age.
Certainly when you load stuff onto your titles are almost becoming, um, what's the word up obsolescence obsolete, irrelevant.
Yeah.
And that's a bit of a, sort of, it sounds a bit like a nerd track as well as a track.
It's a weird sort of amalgam of fashionable, uh, uh, you know, uh, music styles by the chemical brothers.
Yeah.
He says, you feel in me, that's, that's a new street phrase, isn't it?
No.
You feel in me?
No.
Are you feeling me?
No.
Why?
What?
Because that's the oldest street phrase.
You feelin' me?
I only just heard that watching Prison Break the other day.
Really?
Yeah.
How long's that been around?
40,000 years.
40,000 years?
No one ever tells me anything.
You feelin' me?
No, I'm not feeling you.
What are you talking about?
Now listen, just before 8.30 we're gonna play you a special track which is the Rebel Playlist winner from Steve LaMax Show.
Can you explain all this business, Adam?
No.
Steve Lomac has he gets people to vote for tracks that are not currently on the six music playlist and they sort of vote against each other and then the the winner of that gets on the playlist and gets played all the time so this is the winner it's by Lou Rhodes it's the Rainer I think this has probably been voted for by a lot of very anxious women ladies lady it's lady music listen to this
And angels' wings on his back Angered and troubled by so much that's out there And struggling not to paint it black But the rain will come and wash it down
And watch it all the way You bring the sun And he lives all alone out by the main wheel Only dreams for company But at night he flies high up to the skies
And he dreams of a girl with a moon in her eyes And fire in her heart And one day he'll find his way to heaven
We'll come and wash it all away
Blue Roads with the rain, this is Adam and Joel on BBC6Music, a kind of female Travis Bickle there, waiting for the rain to come and wash all the scum off the streets.
And I said before that because it had won the Rebel playlist on Steve LaMax's show, it was now part of the 6Music playlist.
Wrong.
Wrong.
Entirely wrong.
Listen, I can't tell you how sorry I am about that mistake.
It's not part of the... You've misled thousands of innocent children.
It's part of the rebel playlist.
That's why it's called the rebel playlist, you idiot!
That huge mistake will probably be an item on the news which is now coming up with Adrian and Catherine.
And in Six Music News... We've got the winners from the Kerrang!
Awards, why Amy's cut up and another wet festival gets going.
It's 8.30 and Catherine Cracknell, the parents of 11-year-old Reece Jones, who was shot dead in Liverpool on Wednesday night, say his killer must be caught.
Melanie and Stephen Jones want people to come forward with information.
Merseyside police are looking for a white boy about 5 foot 8 and between 13 and 15.
Fiona Trott is in Croxteth Forest.
She says police are appealing for people to text them with information.
Set up a special
mobile phone service for teenagers to get in touch with them with any information as to who the killer might be because as we know the police said yesterday they believe the killer is just between 13 and 15 years old and they're trying to encourage people to come forward anonymously.
In another six music news a police car has been shot at in Gloucestershire.
The shots came from a BMW which then sped off southbound down the M5.
No one was hurt but the M5 has been closed between junctions 12 and 13.
The number of parents claiming their children have been wrongly taken away from them and put up for adoption has reached record levels, as according to a BBC investigation.
Campaigners and MPs say there are more than 100 cases.
John Waite is presenter of Radio 4's Face the Facts, which carried out the investigation.
He says critics are pointing the finger at government targets aimed at increasing adoptions.
The number of babies being taken into care then adopted has doubled and critics say that's because social workers in trying to meet these new adoption targets are rushing cases and so some children are being removed unnecessarily from their families.
A top doctor said stroke victims should get better treatment.
Dr Hugh Marcus says care in the UK is badly organised and patients are much more likely to die here than in other parts of Europe.
A member of staff at Maidstone prisons reportedly having tests for Legionnaires disease.
Part of the Kent jail has been evacuated after the bug was found in the water supply.
And Hollywood actress Lindsay Lohan's been sent to jail for one day.
She's pleaded no contest to charges of cocaine possession and drunken driving.
She wants to spend three years on probation, serve 10 days of community service and attend 18 months of an alcohol education program.
And the weather.
The western Wales getting most of the sunshine.
Bit cloudier and more drizzly in the southeast and western Scotland.
Eyes into the late teens or early 20s.
6 Music news now.
Here's Adrian Larkin.
BBC 6 Music.
Enter Shaqari were the big winners at the Kerrang Awards in London last night.
There was one that we would have gagged to have got.
It would have been best live performance and that's what we did get.
Well they got two in the end out of a possible four.
It was Gallows who got named best newcomers and they never had any doubts about it.
We've been in the States so we haven't even been here and it's obviously you know we did the hard work when it needed to be done.
We're firming everyone's mind that we are the best British newcomer and you know we didn't even have to be in the country for two months before the awards and we still won it.
And from young to old then veteran rockers Judas Priest cat off the evening celebrations they dropped by to pick up the Hall of Fame award.
We've been making metal, British metal, for close to 40 years and it's a remarkable achievement.
I mean you're in a room with a lot of all of these new young talented players and you see that kind of response when you walk up there.
It's just nice, you know.
Some other news in brief now and it's Amy Winehouse all over the tabloids again this morning.
This time she's been photographed with cuts and bruises on her face after reports she got involved in a brawl with her husband.
And finally the Reading and Leeds festivals get going today as we've been reporting all week some of the site in Reading is still flooded.
So if you are heading there later, organisers are warning people to be prepared for wet conditions.
Plus, it's worth checking out our website which has details of the new camping and car parking areas as things have changed a bit.
That's 6 Music News, next for Listens at 9.
So let's go.
Stay spent with the grass and sun.
I don't mind.
I don't mind.
To pretend a tune seems really dumb.
It seems really dumb.
As the morning comes, crawling through the blinds.
I shouldn't be up at this time.
But I can sleep with you there by my side.
Wake up, it's a beautiful morning Feel the sun shining through your eyes Wake up, it's a beautiful morning 25, don't wake all the time I felt this alive So wake up blue, there's so many things
Do anything, anything
For the death of summer But you can't blame me, no For the death of summer What you gonna say?
What you wanna say?
Wake up it's a beautiful morning Feel the sun shining for your eyes
We were joking about playing that yesterday.
We were.
We were referring to it as a sort of a breakfast show cliche.
We're playing it.
Yeah.
That's the Boo Radleys with Wake Up Boo.
That was amongst our list of songs that would be great to wake up to yesterday.
Other ones I thought of were Sixpence, None the Richer.
This was a list of cliche songs.
Fairground Attraction, Perfect.
So maybe Sixpence, None the Richer will be in the playlist on Monday.
But now, listeners, it's time for our most in fact the nation's favourite radio feature.
Here's the 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!
You know what, it's probably illegal to say it's Britain's favourite feature, especially as this is the BBC, the big British castle.
That's true.
You can probably be had up on charges and led away from the studio.
No, but it's such a nebulous statement anyway.
Yeah.
I mean, people use it all the time.
Because it's impossible to prove.
The nation's favourite, in fact the BBC use it all the time.
Right.
The nation's favourite poem, that sort of business.
Yes.
It's not the nation, it's just whoever happens to text in.
That's right.
And I think there's a sort of unspoken understanding that it's a load of bullies.
Do British Airways still call themselves the world's favourite airline?
No, in fact they call themselves the worst, the world's least favourite airline.
Now, they've spent millions of pounds on focus groups and that was the conclusion the focus group came up with, the world's least favourite airline.
And now on the tails of their planes, they've got a picture of a miserable middle-aged woman with two toddlers sitting on a suitcase.
In fact, she's not sitting on a suitcase because they lost it.
Anyway, you get the general idea.
That's not to say that they are the worst airline.
They're no better or worse than any other airline.
These are not the opinions of the big British castle.
They are merely the opinions of Joseph Murray Cornish.
Giving away my middle name there.
Sorry, mate.
Anyway, okay, so it's text the nation time and this is an important event here on the show where we ask you to text us in on a subject of our choosing.
It's a sort of a national survey.
The results are then given to the government who make various policy decisions based on them.
Yeah, they amend the books.
That's true.
That's true.
Parliament will be buzzing about the results of this this afternoon.
And this afternoon today this afternoon what hello this morning.
We're asking you to text in Like foods that you dislike for absolutely no reason at all first sort of infantile reasons Is it food just food or well?
We're gonna start with food We can broaden it to other infantile things But yesterday my girlfriend and lovely partner asked me whether I like rice pudding and blue She said do you like rice pudding?
Yeah, and I thought no I don't know who does and she said why not?
And I thought, I thought, why don't I like rice pudding?
And I realized that I hadn't thought about rice pudding since I was about four or five and had taken a kind of tactical, meaningless decision to dislike it.
And you know the only reason I could come up with?
Because it looks like maggots in milk.
That's a good reason.
Yeah, or frog spawn.
Exactly.
And that infantile attitude to rice pudding I've clung to for the last 59 years.
Check this out.
Not only does it look like frog spawn, it looks like frog spawn.
with a poo crust.
How's that for you?
Well that's how old rice pudding does once it forms a crust.
No but some people like it with the crust don't they?
So what we're asking you listeners to do is to text us 64046 or email us adamandjoe at six music one no hang on a second adamandjoe dot six music at bbc.co.uk text us with food stuffs that you dislike for no good reason at all we're not interested in you having an allergy.
We're not interested in you like having had some kind of traumatic accident based with the food We want completely spurious reasons like I don't like tomatoes cause I can't tell whether they're a fruit or a vegetable They're just too squishy.
They're too squishy.
They explode like a little man's head.
Mmm
when you when you bite into them well my my my big problem is cheese of course and I'm in the in the position now where I'm still going to dinner parties once in a while and having to explain why you don't like exactly and the reason why don't you like cheese it smells of socks it smells of socks that's why because it smells of death and socks and I'm not having it
Yeah, so text in your highly immature reasons for disliking a particular food.
64046 is the number.
Here's some music.
This is, isn't it?
We're doing a swap around here.
This is Calvin Harris with Merrymaking at my place.
Come into my house You're invited into my house Entering the back of my house Welcoming you into my house Come into my house You're invited into my house Entering the back of my house Welcoming you into my house I've invited loads to my house Loads of people come to my house Let them drink inside of my house Make them smoke outside of my house
Well I've seen it before, lots of people at my front door Lots of people in my front door, trying to get into my house Well I've seen it before, lots of people in my front door Lots of people at my front door, trying to get into my house
of a merry making.
I'm a piece, baby, I'm a piece
I've got tables and chairs in my house.
I've got a stinky cat in my house.
I've got a brand new love in my house.
I've got a lovely bed in my house.
I've got...
Hello, this is Element Joe, BBC6 Music on The Breakfast Show.
It's just gone quarter to nine.
That was Calvin Harris with, what was it called again?
Mary Making It My Place.
Yeah.
Reminds me a little bit of Flight of the Conchords.
Really?
Yeah.
Now, Flight of the Conchords listeners, if you don't know about them, they're from New Zealand.
They're a comedy duo.
They're the latest big thing.
They've got a show on HBO.
You can download their radio shows, right?
Can you?
Yeah.
Nautily, maybe.
Maybe nautily.
You can also check out their HBO program on BitTorrent.
It's well worth having a look at.
That's naughty as well.
I think it's going to be... There's clips on YouTube, right?
Put Flight of the Concord into YouTube and you'll see their stuff.
They're really funny.
It's going to be on BBC4 later this year, I think.
and it's well worth looking at if BBC 4 isn't closed down thanks to the budget cuts that's another couple of uh ones yeah um welcome to text the nation the nation's favorite uh feature breakfast uh show feature i've qualified it slightly there a bit
the nation's favorite feature yeah okay that's what it is okay we've been asking you what foodstuffs you dislike for completely immature and nonsensical reasons do you want to hear some of the responses what we've got yeah well i'll give you another example just before we do i've got a problem with cauliflower yes because it looks like brains
It's like eating the brain.
You know the ironic thing is it's amazingly good for you.
It's a power food.
It's brain food.
It probably is brains.
Is it really good for you?
It's veggie brains.
Yeah it is.
Because it's just like white broccoli isn't it?
Or is that brussel sprouts?
Is it brussel sprouts that are incredibly good for you?
Anything green and sort of raw is really good for you.
Yeah but it's white though.
Cauliflower is like white broccoli and it's pointless it doesn't taste.
Well that's good man because what we're looking for is it's completely irrational.
Reasons don't like it.
So here's one from Dave.
He says I hate curry.
It looks like cat vomit That's absolutely true.
Correct.
Well done Dave Absolutely, correct and anyone who does like curry it follows likes eating cat vomit.
That's true Well, it's not very nice because millions of people like curry
I loved it's one of Britain's favorite listen Joe I love curry do you I was thinking of having one tonight in fact as a celebration for getting a lion someone heated up some fishy cat vomit do you and told you it was fishy curry do you think you'd tell the difference now I'm gonna think about it I'm gonna I'm gonna maybe have a look
Here's a good one from Lucy.
I can't eat peppers because a boy at school used to fold his eyelids back and it looked like the inside of a pepper.
That's a very good one.
That's perfect Lucy.
If this was a competition, which it isn't, you'd get a prize there.
So you get a theoretical prize.
That's pretty insane though.
She worked it out in her head that it looked like peppers or maybe the first time she saw a pepper it was like
Oh no, that's like Charlie's folded eyelids.
I'm not eating that.
Dan in Woking, here's a very good one.
He doesn't like baby corn because it's pretentious.
What's wrong with normal sized corn?
That's a good point.
Yeah, well done Dan, absolutely correct.
Emma in Huddersfield.
I've never eaten cottage cheese because it looks like someone has already chewed it up and spat it into the tub.
We'll have some more of these in just a second.
First, here's a trailer and then we're going to have some music from the Small Faces.
BBC 6 Music.
The year 1997.
The conquering hero was greeted as if he'd brought back the World Cup.
From the memorable... This accepted the majesty of the Queen's fine offer to form a new administration of government in this country.
to the forgettable.
Katrina and the Wave wallet for the United Kingdom.
We celebrate the best music of the year.
Join us for the class of 97 throughout Bank Holiday Monday.
On six music.
And wouldn't it be nice to get on with me neighbours?
They make it very clear, they've got no room for rain.
They stop me from grooving, they bang on the wall.
They're doing me trusty, they smell good at all.
Maybe Sunday afternoon, I've got no mind to worry.
I close my eyes.
sitting in a rainbow
I'll sing you a song with no words and no tune I'll sing in your party while you suss out the moon It's lazy Sunday afternoon I've got no time to worry Close my eyes and drift away
do do do do
There's no one to hear me, there's nothing to say And no one can stop me from feeling this way, yeah Crazy Sunday afternoon I've got no mind to worry Close my eyes and drift away
Lazy Sunday afternoon I've got no mind to worry Close my eyes
ah that's good isn't it come on lazy sunday by small faces i like the way that he does the first half of that song in his cook he's kind of crazy not me little voice and then the second half he just decides to go rock with it you know lazy sunday afternoon
of weird but it works and that's what it's all about hi yes adam and joe here on six music just covering for sean keithney for a couple of weeks uh that's joe clearing his throat there it's quite a manly sort of edwardian cough very good away from the mic polite i like it
uh we're involved in uh the nation's favorite feature text the nation we've been asking you to tell us your highly immature food dislikes you know food that you dislike for no rational reason and that you've disliked since you were a small child and maybe now you're in your late hundreds and you still dislike it for the same reason infantile aversions that kind of thing you know we were talking about uh i've got a problem with cauliflower
because it's like eating brains uh someone joe's got a problem with rice pudding because it's like maggots and milk yeah here's a good one from brin in bed that's uh i think his bed rather than a place he says i can't eat or she would that be what sex would brin be brin yeah there's absolutely no telling no telling
He or she is saying, I can't eat mushy peas because it looks like someone's been collecting bogeys and forming a large green ball of snot.
Well, mushy peas, I mean, that's a disgraceful food.
Yeah, that's quite an obvious one there, Bryn.
But no, very good nonetheless.
Absolutely.
Stevie Sticks from Hull, is that a real name?
Stevie Sticks?
I hope it isn't.
I hate raisins because they look like shriveled up rabbit droppings.
That's exactly what my five-year-old son said the other day, so that's proving.
Really?
Really?
But they're delicious.
Well, they are.
They're lovely and that's what I said to him.
I was like, go on, just try one.
No, they look like rabbit poos.
Here's a connected one.
You know what would be good with these texts is to know your age as well.
That would be interesting to know how old you are to have these really immature thoughts.
Here's one from Aiden in Ballymena.
He says, and this is a very common one, garibaldi biscuits are thousands of dead flies mashed up and no one will sway me on that.
Again they're delicious.
They're known in some places as dead fly biscuits, squashed fly biscuits aren't they?
I think so.
And here's another very good one.
This is from Wendy.
She says I can't stand the thought of eating sandwich spread because it looks like sick.
When I was going out with my husband before we were married we'd get back to his place and he would make sandwich spread sandwiches.
no they are they are revolting says wendy uh we've got a few more of these coming up for you but uh first here's juliana hatfield with her three and a track called spin the bottle
He's a movie star, only drives rented cars Met him in the bar, said I know who you are Took him to my party as the games were starting Bottles on the ground, are you ready now?
When it comes to me, I'm gonna be ready
I can hardly wait
Everybody's watching, everybody's looking She's such a sucker He is gonna kiss me if he doesn't miss me I'm ready for a dream
Juliana Hatfield three with spin the bottle.
It's time now to hear a couple more texts just before we go to the news from our feature text the nation and we're asking people to text in kind of infantile aversions to various food stuffs.
Yeah.
OK.
You ready for some good ones?
Go on then.
Rob in Birmingham has an aversion to drinking apple juice.
Can you guess why?
Is it anything to do with urine?
Yes.
I don't like drinking apple juice because it looks like stale wee wee.
Rob from Birmingham.
I'd imagine Rob's in his late 20s probably.
He's going for the cloudy apple juice, is he?
Is he?
Well you can get it cloudy or clear.
Yeah.
Just like the real thing.
It does!
I wonder what... yeah let's not go there anyway.
There's all sorts of things we could talk about if we were a late night program but we're not.
Here's somebody anonymous who's saying my stepson won't eat choco hoops since his dad cruelly said that they were rabbits bum holes.
Oh dear it's all basically fairly lavatorial.
One day he'll realize what sort of thing is that
to do to your stepson.
Imagine the shock on the poor child's face.
Plus it's true they are rabbits bumholes.
I happen to know there's a big factory somewhere in the northeast.
Rabbits in one end, choco hoops out the other.
They don't even know what choco hoops are.
They're rabbits bumholes.
Tim in Brighton says, weird food dislikes, colon.
I can't eat pork scratchings anymore.
Why do you think that is, Adam?
Pork scratchings?
Pork scratchings, are they like giant bogey?
No.
Do you ever see those pictures of like Indian guys who've got incredibly long toenails?
Oh yeah.
Tim in Brighton says I can't eat pork scratchings anymore they remind me of my brother's fungal nail infection.
No one's going to be able to eat anything.
No exactly.
One final one and this is I really like this one this is from Robin Sheffield this is good because it's just ridiculous but yet it has a kind of element of truth about it.
Tomatoes are repellent says Rob as appetizing as a bag of pus.
Only genetically modifying them to grow in sachets could correct this.
As tomato ketchup?
Possibly, yeah.
I know what you mean, Rob.
It's that sort of popping thing, when you pop a... I never used to like tomatoes, but you know what?
I've got into them recently, and they're very good, especially for men.
They make men more manly.
Well done.
You're a grown-up.
But no, I used to dislike them for the same reason, because when you pop your fork into them, it's like popping a fork into an elf's head.
Into a giant red bubo.
Okay, now it's time for the news.
Digital radio.
Digital TV.
BBC 6 Music.
Top stories at nine.
I'm Catherine Cracknell.
Detectives hunting the killer of 11-year-old Reece Jones in Liverpool on Wednesday night are hunting a white boy of five foot eight and between 13 and 15 Reece's parents have pleaded for anyone with information to come forward.
Shots have been fired at a police car just off the M5 in Gloucestershire.
No one was hurt
It happened as officers were making a routine check on a BMW.
The M5s closed between junctions 12 and 13.
And prisoners have been moved out of a wing of Maidstone Jail to other detention centres because of a Legionnaires' disease scare.
The bug was found in the water supply.
A member of staff is thought to be having tests.
And the weather most places in for a dry day with some sunshine, the exceptions being the south-east of England and western Scotland, where it'll be more overcast and drizzly, highs into the late teens, early 20s.
Adrienne Larkin's here now with the six music news.
Our top story this hour and we've got some news for you on Morrissey because according to reports this morning he's turned down a 40 million quid offer to reunite with the Smiths.
More on that at 9.30.

Don't look back into the sun You cast your pearls, but you're on the run And all the lies you said, who did you say?
And then they played that song at the death disco It started fast, but it ends so slow And all the time just reminded me of you And I'll never forgive you, I'll never let you go
Adam and Joel on 6music.
You've got feelings in your heart Don't let fear of feeling fool you What you see sets you apart And there's nothing here to bind you It's no way for life to start Do you know that tonight the streets are
The streets are ours These lies And our hearts, they tell no lies

Those dreams are ours Do you know how
To kill loneliness at last Oh there's so much there to heal dear And make tears things of the past But do you know that tonight The streets are ours Tonight The streets are ours And these lights
and our street are ours and tonight the streets are ours and these lights and our hearts they tell no lies
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!
Yes, it's Adam and Joel on BBC6 Music, and in case you don't recognise that jingle, it's Text the Nation, the nation's favourite feature, a kind of survey that we do on some stupid subject, the results of which then go to the government so that they can build new policies and laws around them.
That's true.
Incidentally, I should just say that you were listening to, music-wise, Richard Hawley there with Tonight the Streets are Ours, and before that it was The Libertines with Don't Look Back Into the Sun.
Now back to Text the Nation, Joe.
Thank you very much Adam.
Text the Nation today is asking you what foods you dislike for infantile reasons.
Things you decided you didn't like when you were a tiny child and you've stuck with that attitude until your adult-ness years.
Here's three more.
I've been told by my fellow presenters that some of the ones we were reading out before were a little bit disgusting.
we were drifting into the into the bum zone yeah so we're gonna reverse out of the that area into a more clean fresh and sort of healthy area uh here's one from an anonymous um uh texter that uh actually stays in that area my friend doesn't like eating bananas because it reminds him of rude behavior with a man
What?
That's useless.
You think so?
It's not something you think about when you're a toddler though, for goodness sake.
No, but what if you were an adult, you were with someone of indiscriminate sexuality who you thought might have a crush on you, and you decided you wanted a banana?
You don't have to eat it suggestively though.
Yeah, but would you actually break the banana off and eat it in that way so as not to give him any ideas?
I don't know.
Let's reverse out of this.
Here's another one.
Shush.
Food stuff, couscous.
This is from Dan in Woking.
I don't like couscous because I get bored halfway through eating it.
It's a repetitive food.
It's a funickity food.
It's just like a powder.
Well, it's also quite it's not exactly a taste explosion couscous.
No couscous is boring He gets bored halfway through I think that's fair enough down.
That's a good reason finally This is from Aidan who's 38.
We assume his wife is is a similar kind of age He's saying my wife Catherine can't eat celery because it gives her and I quote a funny feeling in her spine
Funny feeling in a spine.
I know what you mean about that There's some things that just sit sort of give you a weird little nerve reaction when you eat them sometimes You know like maybe an orange if you get a weird orange sometimes you get a little tingle a little zesty tingle unpleasant tingle yeah
And then finally, Amy Crossthwaite is basically opening up a big can of worms.
She's saying she can't stand fruit in savoury food.
And Amy, I agree with you completely.
A bit of pineapple on a pizza, to me, is like putting a bomb in my heart.
Yeah.
No, it's horrible.
I can't mix the two.
It's very odd.
But thank you very much for everybody who's texted.
All that information will go straight to the Houses of Parliament, to Gordon Brown.
He'll be studying those for the rest of the afternoon.
Here's my impression of Gordon Brown getting the results of Testination.
Oh, the results of Testination!
We're going to have to change some policies.
Well, he's Scottish, clearly.
Well done.
That's quite good, isn't it?
That's pretty good.
I'm like Rory Premner.
In a way, yeah.
I'm Gordon Brown!
Is that it?
Yeah.
It's always struck me as strange impressionists who have to say who they are.
It was very popular in the 70s, wasn't it?
No, they never did that, did they?
Yeah, they did, yeah.
Yeah, they did.
Okay, this is Adam and Jo on BBC6Music.
Rigorous radio.
It's 12 minutes past nine.
You can tell when I'm struggling because I do a time check.
And it's time for Is It My Free Choice?
Yeah, this is an exciting single, sure to give you a bit of a boost this morning.
It's by a band called Roderigo.
It's called Lack of Afro.
you
That's Roderigo with Lack of Afro.
This is Adam and Jo on BBC6 Music.
It's quarter past nine.
It's the time of the show when most working people have gone into work and our listenership is kids, mums, robbers, people in prison, people on oil rigs, people abroad.
I was thinking about Sandra Bullock the other day.
Yep.
Joe, I just wanted to get this off my chest.
You know, she's one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood.
I've met her Adam.
In the dream lavatory.
Where did you meet her?
I interviewed her.
When I was doing the Radio 4 film programme, I spent 15 minutes in her company and Hugh Grant's company.
You know, me and 50 billion other journalists did.
Right, what was that film?
We weren't all in the room.
You know, all the journalists had little 15 minute segments and she was over for... Two weeks notice.
Yeah, yeah.
That's right.
And how was she?
Very nice?
She was beautiful.
She's a lovely woman.
She had the skin of a child.
translucent skin she was she was lovely just in a bag grant was a little bit temperamental was he yeah a little bit sarcastic tired sarcastic yeah yeah Bullock was she was generous in in every way hundred percent professional yeah well that's lovely
Well, you know what?
She is maybe the number six or number seven highest paid actress in Hollywood.
She gets 30 pounds a film.
Here's a few of the salaries she's commanded for some of her recent films.
Speed 2 Cruise Control, 1997.
She got 12 and a half million dollars for that.
You know, that's 12 and a half million times more than what it made at the box office.
Right.
Hope floats 1998 a little, a little dip, only $11 million she got for that one.
28 days.
Do you remember that one?
She was in rehab or something in that film in 2000 she got 12 and a half million again and murder by numbers.
Does anyone recall that one?
I recall the police song of the same name.
I think I maybe saw Murder by Numbers on a plane and the denouement features her hanging from a house that is crumbling into the sea or something and there's a dirty man, a bad man who wants to push her off that house and it sounds brilliant.
It's really not.
How much did she get for that one?
15 million dollars.
Wow.
That's the kind of fee, and one can only assume that she's getting more than that for her more recent films.
Things like... The Lake House?
Was that her?
Her and Keanu.
I imagine that re-teaming that pairing must have been very expensive.
Yeah, you saw that one, didn't you, Adam?
I did see that one.
I remember you talking to me about it angrily.
Yeah, it's pretty nutty stuff.
And of course, that film was a big deal for Bullock fans and Keanu fans because, as we said, it was re-pairing this team that actually based their entire career on the film Speed, which is where they first met way back in... Now Speed is a classic.
Yeah, 1994.
Speed is the film I think that made Sandra Bullock's career.
And she's kind of relied on it ever since or relied on the goodwill that that film generates.
So what's your point here, Adam?
I am just curious about actors who have managed to pull this trick off.
You know what I mean?
Rather than people sort of taking about three or four films to sort of think, yeah, she was pretty good in speed, but she hasn't really done a film as enjoyable as that since.
You know instead of that.
They've just carried on paying her more and more and more money Film after film after film like check out some of these films after speed The net now that in retrospect looks like a classic mmm doesn't it?
It wasn't though.
No two if by sea Remember that one no a time to kill
in love and war speed to cruise control hooray practical magic the prince of egypt forces of nature and it goes on it's a it's a parade of stinkers miss congeniality that was a hit that a lot of people liked did you like that one jenny jenny lisa you're a lady did you like miss congeniality no it
No, because you'd have to be insane.
You'd have to be clinically insane to enjoy Miss Congeniality.
And even Miss Congeniality 2 as well, which came out.
I mean, it's just baffling.
So you're angry that she's still commanding figures in the tens of millions?
No, I'm curious.
You're curious.
How do you pull this off?
How do you make bad film after bad film, but still command £10 million fees?
What's the secret?
I'm curious about it.
And I'm curious to know if anyone can think of other actors who've had a similar career trajectory.
One good film very early on and then carried on getting paid more and more and more money for stinker after stinker.
Now here's my breakfast single of the week.
This is Spoon with the Underdog.
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 rape The belief to get up for it Oh, you cut out the middle man Concrete for the middle man You got no time for the messenger
That's why you
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 Uh huh, cause you don't talk to the water boy
Unless you're what you could've, but you don't wanna love You will not back up and let your love 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'll tell you what I've survived

This is Adam and Joe here on BBC6 music we're covering for Sean Keveny for a couple of weeks and today is the end of our first week and then we've got next week to go and then that's your lot.
We're debating here about how to handle the weekend, because we've reset our body clocks to get up at 5.30am, I have personally, so I can leave at 6.15, be in the studio for about quarter to seven, start the show at seven, but the weekend is a dangerous trap.
Right.
Because you could be reset.
Yeah, we could push it too late.
You know, we could get overexcited tonight or Saturday night and find ourselves very tired.
What time have you been going to bed in the evening?
Nine.
Nine.
Yeah.
And I've been loving it.
I'm loving it.
Last night, I watched 10 years younger.
Right.
And then went to sleep.
That's a ridiculous program.
Have you watched that?
I've got an idea for a sketch, which I don't think is very good, so I'll just waste it here.
Go on then.
The sketch is, you have kind of like a feature that's exactly like 10 years younger.
The voiceover would be exactly the same, talking about how they've done her lips, changed her clothes, rearranged her hair, you know?
But in the pictures, they'd be taking a woman and dressing her as a sort of freakish clown.
And then at the end, she'd just have a huge red nose,
you know she just looked like a mad old bag woman yeah we were always going to do that like on our show years ago because that's that's the last night they turned this perfectly nice looking woman into a mad old bag lady in this ridiculous polka dot uh dress this huge
necklace with giant beads, massive clown shoes, painted her face all up with Dulux, did all her hair.
They put extensions in her hair, listen, I don't know if anyone else saw this on Channel 4 last night.
They put extensions in her hair.
She wasn't used to having extensions.
She said, um, what sort of hair is it?
Where does it come from?
And the barber said, it comes from another lady.
nice and she looked so sort of disgusted and creeped out by the idea that she probably had a prisoner's hair stitched into her own there's a horror film in there isn't there hair extensions based horror film yeah exactly we'll be back shortly right now here's the news
And in Six Music News, Morrissey says no to 40 million, it's the Kerrang!
Awards and killers pen the tracks.
BBC 6Music.
It's 9.30, I'm Catherine Cracknell.
First on 6Music News, the hunt for the killer of 11-year-old Rhys Jones, shot dead in Liverpool on Wednesday night.
His parents have appealed for information.
Tony Edge is a family friend.
A bass lute goes out with a gun and starts waving at their hands and shooting like that.
This is a kid who's gone to play football.
Police say they're looking for a white teenager of between 13 and 15 who's around 5 foot 8 tall.
Warren Bradley's leader of Liverpool City Council.
He wants to see zero tolerance to tackle low-level crimes because he reckons that's how youngsters get into gang life.
regularly meet people who tell me there's got to be a period of zero tolerance across major towns and cities where graffiti is dealt with as a crime that's the problem you've got young people who are teetering on the brink of crime undertaking small low-level crimes and not being punished for it and that leads them onto something bigger
The M5s closed this morning between junctions 12 and 13 after shots were fired at a police car.
Someone opened fire from a BMW as officers tried to do a routine check outside a garden centre in Gloucestershire.
In other Six Music News, the number of parents claiming their children have been wrongly taken away and put up for adoption is at record levels.
Campaigners and MPs have told the BBC there are more than 100 cases.
Not good enough, the verdict of a top doctor on stroke treatment in the UK.
Dr Hugh Marcus says care is poorly organised and stroke victims are much more likely to die here than elsewhere in Europe.
The government says things have improved in the last decade, but Dr Marcus thinks strokes should be taken much more seriously.
When a patient has a stroke, for example, in France, they get seen very quickly, they get scanned very quickly, appropriate treatment is instituted quickly.
We can now give treatments which can actually dissolve the clot and have a dramatic effect on outcome if patients are seen within three hours.
In many units in the UK, patients aren't seen very quickly after stroke and they may even have to wait up to a day for their scan.
And the weather, Western areas and Wales are going to get some sunshine, but the South East and Western Scotland looking a lot cloudier with some spots of rain around highs in the late teens, early 20s.
Six music news now, here's Adrian Larkin.
Well, we start with some news in on Morrissey this hour because according to reports this morning, he's turned down a 40 million quid offer to reunite with the Smiths to what is being billed as a massive 50 day tour.
Apparently, though, the offer only required that former guitarist and co-songwriter Johnny Marr take part.
The news has come as a surprise to Mike Joyce and Andy Rourke, this is what they had to say about Morrissey when we caught up with them.
I don't really need to contact Johnny and Morrissey.
Why would I need to speak to them?
Absolutely no need to speak to them about anything.
It's a bit different with me because like me and Johnny were friends before the Smiths so it was important for me to keep that friendship.
On to the Kerrang!
Awards now and Best British Band went to the lost profits last night at the rock and roll bash in London.
Jared Leto's band 30 seconds to Mars had their track the kill named as best single.
We caught up with him in the winners pit and he said winning a Kerrang!
is a big deal for them.
I mean I think it really represents the passion and the support that
we have from our fans our family out there and it's kind of channeled filtered through uh karang and uh so it means a lot because i think it's it's it's people speaking their minds and finally the killers have a series of songs to release this year brannon flowers and co reckon a collection of b-side and an xmas single are all on the cards that's six music news your next bulletins at 10 30.
The indie disco A-Z special reaches the letter T and we open the doors to some more listener top trumpeting.
Join me, Gideon Ko, after A&J from TEN.
When you're in love, you know you're in love No matter what you try to do You might as well resign yourself To what you're doing
If you're a child, it still might get...
Just a distraction No talking Just looking Watching
I believe in me, I believe in you And you know I believe in love I believe in truth, though I lie a lot I feel the pain from the push and shove No matter what you put me through I'll still believe in love and I'll say
Boy, that sounds pretty good, doesn't it?
The Human League with Love Action.
That's an album that stands up really unbelievably well.
Dare.
Hey, this is Phil talking.
I want to tell you what I've found to be true.
It does, doesn't it?
And sorry to interrupt you Alan Buxton, but they were on one of those stupid, you know, I love the 80s TV shows, the Human League, and they were kind of talking about themselves.
As if they weren't really a serious band.
Right.
As if they were a sort of novelty band that happened to have a couple of successful albums then mistakenly tried to go all R&B, didn't they?
They went all kind of funky and then kind of lost the plot.
And I was watching Phil Oakey talking about himself and thinking, man, don't do yourself down.
They're amazing and they sound amazing.
I think they're a proper, a proper kind of, you know, chapter in pop music history.
Yeah, very much so.
I mean, they had everything.
They were a proper band with real credible roots from part of that whole post punk scene in Sheffield there.
And then they came out with Dare, which was just unexpectedly massive.
You know what I mean?
I mean, that sold millions of albums.
And then what was their second album called that had the Lebanon on it and Louise and stuff like that?
Oh, what was it called?
And Keep Feeling Fascination, that was an amazing album.
Mirror Moves, was it called?
No, no, that's the psychedelic first.
They did a song called Mirror Man.
Yeah.
But whatever, that was a great album.
In fact, there's a track off that called Louise.
Do you remember that track?
Yeah.
That my girlfriend can't listen to because it makes her feel too sad.
But yeah, that was that was a really good album.
But that was the one that sort of put the mockers on their career a little bit because they, they wanted to go away from the whole synthy sound, strip it down, make it more Guattari.
You know, so and ABC had a similar career trajectory, you know, they had the massive Trevor Horn produced Lexicon of Love, which is an amazing album.
And then they were they came back with beauty stab after that, which totally flummoxed everybody.
Yeah.
Anyway,
Anyway, there you go, a little bit of 80s music info for you there.
Early on before that, Adam was talking about the fact that Sandra Bullock, the sexy speed lady, is what I like to call her, has made one good film and then a load of old trollops, but still been paid huge amounts of money.
yeah like one of the most huge amounts of money ever and like divine secrets of the yah yah sisterhood has a has a man ever seen this film that's what i don't know if you're not allowed to see it because it's your divine secrets that's one of those that's one of those uh film titles we've got two ladies here that makes me sorry jenny are you members of the yah yah sisterhood what is it
And what are its secrets?
It's an adaptation of a hugely popular novel in the States, and the kind of thing that probably made it to number one in Oprah's book club.
But it's not a film I really want to see.
So I'm actually unfairly prejudging it.
It might be amazing.
If you're a man and you've seen it, I really don't want to hear about more women who love it, because I know women love it.
Hey, look, I've found the bit of the microphone that actually makes me sound proper.
Ooh.
Instead of this bit over here.
OK, here we go.
Here's a text from someone called Phil.
He says, Ben Affleck.
He did good will hunting, then the last 10 years have been a serious, can we say that word?
Dogmukfest of eye-gouging films.
Yeah, is that true?
Has Affleck, Affleck was in, was he in Armageddon?
That was a stinker.
Was he in Pearl Harbor, Affleck?
Was he?
I feel like he was, yeah.
He was in Jiggly.
It's true, poor old Affleck.
What must he feel about Matt Damon?
Getting it right.
But he still paid a lot of money to turn up in things, Affleck.
Affleck, yeah.
So he's a good example of that.
Yes, paid a lot.
Very good example there.
Here's another one.
I mean, Keanu has had a similar career trajectory.
Well, Lizzie here is saying... Although I guess he did the Matrix, didn't he?
Actors who are not much cop, but who make inexplicably tons of money.
Ewan McGregor and Clive Owen, says Lizzie.
I disagree that Ewan McGregor's not much cop.
I mean, it's the same with Bullock.
This is the thing, is that Bullock is talented.
When she's good, she's really good, you know?
Yeah.
And she's definitely got something.
But it's strange, she seems to fritter away her talent on mad projects.
But McGregor's a good example of someone who does seem to come out with film after film.
He's been felled by Star Wars, hasn't he?
That was a mistake for McGregor.
shouldn't have taken the wars.
And finally, Chris in Hackney agrees with you Adam, Keanu Reeves is a monosyllabic goon who lucked out with the Matrix after making many stinkers.
I can't agree with that Chris, I'll take Bill and Ted any day.
He's been in some good stuff Keanu.
Can't think of it all right now, but I'm sure it exists.
Johnny Mnemonic.
Right now it's time for one of my free choices.
This is from a great album that came out last year.
Oh, it's not.
Okay, sorry.
This is my free choices coming up soon.
I'm gonna play some young knives for you young knives fans.
But right now here's a track from the album of the day.
This is Rilo Kylie with give a little love.
You bet your money, I'll get my friends Hard living's forgiving, in the end You got your troubles, I got mine On a clear day
You gotta get a little
You gotta give a little love, give a little love, give a little love To give a little love, give a little love, give a little love
In my wildest dreams My rearview mirror And you're waving to me Our last goodbye You thought you'd give a little love Give a little love Give a little love To give a little love Give a little love Give a little love
I hope you give a little love, give a little love Give a little love, give a little love Give a little love, give a little love You've gotta give a little love
Give a little love

It sounds like a big troll.
They've just edited out a portion of a conversation with a homeless person.
Is that what they've done for cost cutting?
Yeah, they've just said

The Human League album in question is Hysteria.
Thanks for Chris.
Of course it was Hysteria wasn't it?
Hysteria there you go.
Some people complaining about us being rude about film stars.

It may only be me, but does anyone else find Sandra Bullock's nose freaks them out?
I'm convinced it belongs to Michael Jackson.
I like Sandra Bullock's nose, that little upturned nose.
Well, there's a girl in Emmerdale, isn't it?
Who has almost exactly the same nose, and she looks very much like Sandra Bullock if you cover up her mouth.
which is a fun thing to do if you ever bump into anyone.
You can't end the show by encouraging listeners to cover up women's mouths.
I think you can.
What a way is that to go out.
Listen, thanks a lot for listening.
We'll be back on Monday morning at 7am with our special celebration of 1997.
We've been Adam and Joe.
We'll see you next week.
Have a great weekend.
Here's Lush with 500.
