Oh, yeah
Yes, she's a promise in the year of election Our sister can let you go Like a preacher stealing hearts at a traveling show For a love of money
That's you two with desire.
This is Adam and Joe.
Good morning.
It's 7am.
It's Wednesday.
The mysterious midweek day.
The fulcrum.
The axis.
The centre of the week.
A kind of a pointless day that we're lobbying to have cancelled.
The axis of evil.
How can you have Wednesday cancelled?
It's the best day of the week.
It's a silly day.
Oh, come on.
I don't know anyone who dislikes Wednesday except for you.
I think it should be a holiday.
really well that's a good point but you know a lot of the best tv goes out on wednesday is that true yeah what tv goes out on wednesday i'm just saying instinctively certainly in the old days they used to put the best stuff on a wednesday our show used to go out on a wednesday once in a while did it yeah well that was the best er used to go out on wednesday
And, um... Wednesday's a good day for making big decisions at work.
Right.
Having meetings, you've still got two days to implement the results of the meeting.
Yeah.
It's an excellent day for leaving a partner.
That's true.
Or, you know, just doing important things in life.
Leaving a partner, because you've got a couple of days to get over it.
You've had Monday and Tuesday to think about it.
That's right.
Wednesday to action it, as they say.
Nice.
Thursday and Friday to deal with the consequences.
And then on the weekend you can go out and meet someone else.
It's not a big problem, what's the problem?
What's the problem with Wednesday?
Now, coming up in the show today, apart from the usual mix of excellent music, can I just say?
No.
Oh.
Go on then.
You know, I think six music plays the best mix of music around.
I think that's true, and you're not just saying that to kind of a cow town.
Curry flavor?
To the powers that be, to the bosses of the big British castle.
What curry flavor is there to be flavored?
What?
What a delicious curry flavor.
No, I'm not trying to curry flavor.
You know what?
I agree with you.
Yeah.
Contemporary radio is playlisted out of existence.
That's true, man.
You know, you switch on your average radio station, you have to plow through a lot of, shall we call it, dross to get to the delicious chicken McNuggets.
yeah you know you tend to hear the same records every hour that's true over and over again not here at six music new new by new means and apart from that great music uh we have we have the nation's favorite feature which is called text the nation where we invite you to communicate with us about an important topic and we'll be telling you about today's important topic uh very soon but first
Again, I feel guilty about this, but it's Winehouse... Yeah, what's the BBC's stance on Winehouse's situation?
I was watching TV last night, a Winehouse TV advert comes on encouraging people to... Really?
And I was thinking, that's not right, because they are way capitalising on the out-of-controlocity... So I think the thing to do, listeners, during this record is just not enjoy it.
Well, you can enjoy it, but try and think about what you're going to do to help her.
Yeah, or think about your life.
Yeah.
Think about the things you may be addicted to one way or another.
And, you know, whether you need to go to some kind of a mental rehab.
And if you've just scratched your partner's name into his face or your face, just go back to bed.
Here's why...
I knew I had him at my match, but every moment we get snatched.
I don't know why I got so attached.
It's my responsibility to get on the 10th of May, but to walk away, I have no capacity.
He walks away.
The sun goes down.
He takes the day, but I'm grown.
And in your way.
I don't understand, why do I stress to man When there's so many real things at hand We could've never had it all, we had to hit a wall So this is inevitable withdrawal Even if I stop wanting you, that perspective push it through I'll be some next meds all to warm my soul I cannot break myself again, I should just be my own best friend
Myself in the head with Superman.
He walks away.
The sun goes down.
He takes the day, but I'm wrong.
And in your way, in this blue shade, my tears die on their own.
So we are here to be.
The shadow comes.
The sky above us.
The sun goes down, he takes the day.
But I don't know, it ain't your break.
In this blue shade, my heart tears dry on their own.
I wish I could say no regrets, and almost a no day.
Cause as we kiss goodbye, the sun sets.
So we are history.
The shadow covers me.
The sky above a blend only lovers see.
He walks away.
The sun goes down.
He takes the day, but I'm grown.
And in your way, my flu shade, my tears dry.
The sun goes down, he takes me, but I am grown And in your way, my deep shade, my tears dry on their own He walks away, the sun goes down, he takes me, but I won't And in your way, my deep shade, my tears dry
She's one talented, whacked out dame.
She's a crazy, talented girl.
That's Amy Winehouse.
Lovely voice.
Tears dry on their own.
This is Animate Joe here on 6music.
We've only got a couple more days with you after this, folks, and then... Yeah, and we've only got a couple more hours of the show.
That's true.
Yeah, only... Is that a good way to look at life?
Two hours and 50 minutes.
Everything's running out.
Everything's running out.
Everything's ticking away.
Make the most of it while you can.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Live every day like it's your last.
My son said to me very poignantly yesterday, daddy, why does time work the way it does?
What did you say to that?
I said, what do you mean?
And he said, well, why does everything just get older and older and then goes and then it goes away and then new things come along?
He's getting frightened about the idea of mortality and stuff at the moment.
What did you say to that?
I said, listen, you're talking to the wrong guy.
Sean Keveney's back next week.
You might like to chat to him about it.
No, I said.
I said, that's the way it works, man.
There's nothing anyone can do about it.
It just, time goes forward, and much as we'd all like to go backwards, you can't think about it like that.
It's fun, there's lots of nice things about getting old, and it's great to see new things coming along.
But don't worry about it, we're all in it together, I said.
Do you know what I would have said to him?
What would you have said?
Shut up and watch the telly!
Slap!
Listen, I said that to him afterwards because he kept on about it.
And so after I'd given him my little pep talk, I just lost my temper.
I kicked him in the groin.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
We do not tolerate this kind of humour at the big British castle.
I'm sorry.
You were saying earlier that Wednesday was a great day for telly.
You know what?
You're right.
There's an Ashton Kooster film on BBC One tonight.
There's The Restaurant, the new reality series on BBC Two.
There's Anne Widdicombe versus The Truants on ITV.
And there's Big Brother on Channel 4.
Widdicombe.
You see water cooler television, they put it on Wednesday, so it sort of bleeds throughout the rest of the week like that.
Did you see the last Widdicombe thing?
Well, I was very interested in her versus the hoodies.
That was the first one she did.
Was it last year or earlier this year?
I think it was earlier this year.
And it was ridiculous.
Right.
Utterly utterly pointless and ridiculous well apparently and that's exactly why they've recommissioned it because everybody the next day went Did you see that ridiculous woman being stupid?
Yeah?
And that's good enough for them as long as you make something a grating enough and ludicrous to talk about yeah Yeah, that's the job done
What else have we got to look for?
Well, actually there is some good stuff on telly, but it starts at 11 20 on BBC tooth Brazil is on is it?
Yeah, I followed by arrested development Oh, so you got to stay up really late to catch the good telly these days what channels on BBC to BBC to The second big British castle actually have some more music now.
This is about anything from Brazil CSS Yes, they are and this is one of these slightly unwieldy mad-looking Bands, you know what I'm saying?
Really?
their image is to sort of have no image and
And yet they're kind of all over the place and sexy and there's a lot of kind of nutty looking women in this band.
How many people are there in the band?
I don't know, like seven or something?
Thereabouts.
This is a band called CSS.
The track's called Off The Hook.
Enjoy.
We stand so still People gonna start thinking we're statues Science is disturbing me People talk but I can't hear I'm off the hook Off the hook I think I'm off the hook, baby
Let's find us both a place to sit sit The more I talk the more my bones get heavy Silence is disturbing me Don't they know I can't read lips I'm off the hook Off the hook I think I'm off the hook baby
I'm thinking off the hook, baby Off the hook
Why is that?
We stand so still People gonna start thinking real statues The silence is disturbing me People talk but I can't hear I'm off
She's got a nice voice, hasn't she?
Very nice.
Assuming it's a lady, it might be a small boy.
You never know in pop music these days.
That's right, it's a filthy nightmare.
Could be the new one from Little Chris.
Kate Garraway's hair's different today.
Listeners, Adam Buxton is obsessed with Kate Garraway, who presents GMTV.
He's obsessed with her hair.
Well, yesterday she had the most incredible hairstyle I've ever seen.
You should start reading some Lady Mags.
They probably cover her hair in some detail.
Maybe I will.
I might go online after this show.
Really?
And look for a gallery that shows all, look it's just normal today.
She looks lovely today.
Do you remember that show about the sort of modern update of Beauty and the Beast?
Where the Beast lives in the sewer of New York.
Yeah, I do.
She looks a bit like the chick from that, doesn't she?
Was it not even called just Beauty and the Beast, that show?
Maybe.
Don't you think she looks a bit like the chick from that?
You know, I don't remember.
I don't think I ever watched an episode in its entirety because it was one of the worst programs ever made, wasn't it?
The Beast looked like... He looked like that guy, Fabio.
Do you remember Fabio?
Yeah, the muscle man.
The muscle man.
He had a big mullet.
I'm getting a mullet.
You know what I'm saying?
Really?
Have you ordered it?
No, it's coming.
It's growing.
Is it?
Yeah.
I need a haircut.
Oh, that's so cool.
One day I'm going to wake up and I will have a mullet after years and years of pointing at other people and saying, look at that mullet.
I'll have one.
And maybe, you know, that's middle aged.
But no, I'm disappointed about Garraway.
Yesterday... This link is very rambly.
Have we had permission from the Ramblers Association?
It's about hair.
Is it?
Okay good.
It's all about hair and yesterday Garraway's hair it went it looked as if her hair was just hanging down normally but then she was wearing a kind of bandana.
No it was it was it was center parted and braided at the front right and left.
Yeah it's it's a common style I think Lisa's probably.
I've never seen that style.
I've never seen that style.
The looks as if you're wearing a kind of sweatband, but the sweatband is made out of two braids of your own hair.
Yeah, it's insane.
Absolutely insane.
I think she's lovely and she does very well to get up so early and be so perky.
Listen, I never was impugning her presenting skills or her loveliness because she is lovely.
Shall we play some more music?
Yeah, we've got some great music coming up this hour.
I've got an archive session track that I'm really excited about coming up towards the top of the hour.
My archive session track is coming up after this, and it's from the Young Marble Giants, but this track right now is Prefab Sprout.
Now this is not a version that I'm familiar with of this track.
This is not the album version of Appetite.
Weird.
Let's listen to it.
Please be careful It's never careful Till it is the gun She will always pay the bills For the havin' big fun Talk so well Talk so well But can you do
It's pretty plain It means it too I don't want to sell you lies I only mean to do you right But I'm a simple slave of appetite I'm a poor slave of appetite Hunger howls Hunger's red Hunger stays Till it's bad
leaves your side, depending on its appetite, depending on your appetite.
So if you take, then put crackers.
If you steal, be rock'n'roll.
If your eyes are wanting all you see, I think I need you.
So if you take, then put that good.
If you steal, you rob them good.
If your eyes are wanting all you see, I think I'll name you after me.
I think I'll call you appetite.
Here she is with two small problems I'm the best part of the blade
But it's not a boy's name And if you grow up to be Just like him Just like me You're fighting for exclusive rights For honeymoons each sleepless night In which case I'll call you Appetite I think I'll call you Appetite So if you take Then put back good If you steal
If your eyes are wanting all you see I think I'll leave you after me
I think I'll call you appetite So if you take, then put back good If you steal, be you up in hell If your eyes are wanting all you see I think I'll name you after me I think I'll call you appetite Yes, I think I'll name you after me I think I'll call you
I say six music.
New music.
On six music.
This week we'll take brand new tracks from... Digitalism.
Baby Shambles.
And Foo Fighters.
New music.
On six music this week.
Six music.
Well now here's some old music on 6Music and just a second ago you heard Prefab Sprout with Appetite.
That's the non-album version and I know... What was that version?
It didn't really sound live?
No, I think maybe it was the single version.
They used to do quite different single versions.
No, I had the single version.
Really?
Yeah.
Well I had the 12-inch and it wasn't like that.
That was pretty much the same apart from the synth and there was no harmonica on there.
And the chorus was different as well.
There were some higher harmonies there.
Were there?
But the synth at the beginning of that was horrible.
It was a bit weird, yeah.
Great track, still a great tune, I enjoyed hearing that.
Yeah, but right now, here's a track from a band who were around... They were around the same time, maybe a little bit before Prefab Sprout.
The Young Marble Giants.
I don't know a huge amount about this band, other than they were very influential in the post-punk scene.
and they pioneered or at least were part of a very stripped down sound.
You know what I'm saying?
Really minimal as you'll hear in this John Peel session from August the 18th, 1980.
Hope you like this one.
It's called Brand New Life by Young Marble Giants.
Adam's pick of the BBC archive.
So babe when you went away Nothing I could do or say And now we are alone too Sit at home and watch the truth I've been hurt before Star unlocking on my door, hey
And so I make a brand new life Fashioned at a brand new stride And when I hear the doorbell ring
Pain is in me every day When you only came to say Come and be a cure for me Make the tears come out of me I've been hurt before Saw nothing on my door
So bad when you went away Nothing I could do or say And when I hear the doorbell ring I can never let them into me
Yeah, rocking hard with the woodblock there.
Smash that woodblock!
I like it.
That was good.
That was good.
Young Marble Giants from the John Peel Sessions, 1980.
That track was called Brand New Life.
Fact update.
The woman from Beauty and the Beast was actually Linda Hamilton from the Terminator films.
There you go.

Synchronicity with the police?
Yes, it would.
Yeah, that would be extraordinary.
I don't think anyone would ever get over that.
Is it back for Lash's time?
Here's Priscilla.
There's a girl that wants to start
I'm thinking about having a couple of kids.
Comb the brush around their heads in the morning.
To be needed, simply am I needing?
Her name is Carrie.
On the road for so long She wants to live in a place that has a number and a name
From love eyes and anger Before the courage is gone She really loves him Priscilla She really loves him Priscilla She really loves him I tell you She really loves him Priscilla She really loves him Priscilla She really loves him I tell you
To live life outside the world To break the cross that bears her name
Need something better than running away She really loves him, I tell you

15 pictures will be used, including throat tumours and diseased lungs.
But will they persuade people to kick the habit?
It would put me off.
It's absolutely hideous.
The slogans on the cigarette packets say it all.
I think we all know how bad it is for you.
I'm aware of what it's doing anyway, so showing me a picture's not going to make it any better.

But it's gonna rain again today There's a devil at your side But an angel on her way Someone hit the line Cause there's more here to be seen When you caught my eye I saw everyone
With hope in your hands, let it rain
I won't disappoint you as you fall apart Some things should be simple, even an end has a start Someone hit the line, cause there's more here to be seen When you caught my eye, I saw everywhere I went
your hands
On your own, that's how you live With hope in your hands, never breathe You'll lose everything
You came on your own
Editors there with an end has a start.
This is Adam and Joe on BBC6 music.
We were just discussing during that link that I, Joe Cornish, I don't dislike editors.
I think they're brilliant.
Let me make that clear.
But I just don't understand that kind of music.
Music with that tone in it.
That level of drama.
Well that level of drama, that level of seriousness, it just seems a bit silly to me.
And I was asking what, in an attempt to understand editors and those who like them, what situation in real life would that music really be suitable for?
You know, because sometimes with music you think, I'm in a really good mood, I'll put on this track, or I'm feeling sad, I'll put on this track.
What mood would that be suitable for, apart from reading the papers?
Uh, well, it's very simple.
You know, situations like you are, you're running from a house where your girlfriend is destroying your possessions and it's raining, there's a lot of lightning, and then you hear a scream as she falls down the stairs.
I tell you what it is, it's kind of, um, it's kind of like Ultravox, like Michior-type music, isn't it?
Yeah.
Basically, they're Michior for the naughties.
It's sort of cinematic, I see.
Yeah, similar like a long coat, a pencil moustache, a big, you know, Germanic statues, dry ice and just standing with the wind blowing.
Leather boots.
Kind of thing, smoking a cigarette.
Maybe that's it, maybe you're smoking a fag from a packet of fags as the news reader described them.
We were surprised by that description on BBC6 music.
You're holding a fag packet and you're looking at the picture of diseased lungs.
How far must I go?
That is that kind of moment, isn't it?
That's right.
Yeah.
Anyway, you might be interested to know if you're an editor's fan that Tom from editors will be appearing on Steve LaMax show.
What day is it?
Friday.
He's going to be.
And what time is Steve LaMax show on?
4 till 7.
I always listen to it.
I just forget time.
You're just so drunk.
You and Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty having a big crack-flavoured bowl of jelly.
Shall we listen?
Shall we listen?
That's how we talk when we're together.
Shall we listen to Steve LaMax?
Now coming up soon, listeners, is the nation's favourite feature, text the nation at 8 o'clock, but there's another feature going on on the show at the moment.
It's, it's, what do they call it?
Stripped across the week?
There's a special type of media word for that.
Isn't there spread, banded, something like that.
Wiffled?
That's the one whiffled, it's whiffled through the week and it's called Band Aid.
It's a segment we've inherited from Sean W Keeney but we've perverted it to our own needs.
Basically me and Adam have composed a song each and we'd like you to listen to clips of them, decide which one you'd like to hear the full version of this Friday.
This Friday show is going to be a big show, it's our last show, and one of the biggest events on that big show will be the unveiling of the winner of Band Aid.
You can go to the Six Music website and listen to little extracts from both and then click.
That's how you vote, you click on the one you like best.
The votes are collated here by BBC Monkeys.
All you have to do is learn to click.
um just extend your finger give it a flick now at the moment let me say that joe is beating me by around about 200 and that's depressing to me because i believe that the clip more or less encapsulates everything you're going to get from joe's song
Whereas mine is just the tip of the iceberg.
There's all kind of verses and middle eights and choruses and stuff that you're not even getting a clue about.
I heard yours is an inverted iceberg that floats on its tip, with the bottom up in the air.
Well, let's have a listen right now.
This is a clip from mine, Adam Buxton's band-aid track, which is called Jane's Brain.
She'd use her brain to think of things that she didn't have She'd think of cars and she'd think of fancy dresses And she'd think of big houses and she'd think of cars
Wow.
James Brain, if you want to hear the full version of that, go to BBC6Music and click on that one.
Don't say it like that.
I like it.
I'm laughing with joy and excitement.
It's like, what else is in her brain?
Exactly.
It sounds good.
I like the fact that you repeat the whole car idea.
Well, that is explained.
That's explained in the next verse.
Is it?
Yes.
I genuinely really want to hear the whole thing.
I can't believe that we have to wait till Friday.
Well, yeah, exactly.
So tantalising.
So we hear a clip from Joe Cornish's piece right now.
Yeah, this is my track.
It's a kind of Euro house number about shopping when you're abroad.
It's called European Supermarket.
Shall I tell you what is winning it for you so far?
What?
Is that sound you've got in there at the end?
That's the hook, man.
That's the most important part, you know, of the song.
People want to hear more of that.
It's addictive.
I'm addicted to it.
I'm addicted to my own work.
I've got some sounds like that in Jane's brain.
You're tweaking Jane's brain, aren't you?
I think you're going home and tweaking it.
I was thinking last night, I bet you Adam brings in a new clip.
I was thinking that.
I bet he brings in a new clip.
And I bet he beats me with his new clip.
But you haven't.
You know, I'm winning at the beginning of the week but it could all change.
There's today's whole day, you know, the one today, to vote.
And then there's all of tomorrow's day.
Thursday.
The Thursday.
And then there's, yeah, so there's like 48 hours.
There's over 50 hours left to vote.
Anything could happen.
I don't mind if I'm beaten, let me just say that.
But I don't want to be absolutely thrashed.
You know, I don't want it to be ridiculous, like no one wants to hear Jane's brain.
Well, you're already, because a couple of people do.
A couple of people have voted, so you're alright.
Look on the bright side.
Here's digitalism with idealistic.
I have an idea That you want
That you are here
I said you were me
No, no, no, no Yeah!
No, no, no, no
This weekend SIX Music brings you The Record Producers The Producers Cut
First aired on Radio 2 over the bank holiday weekend, the program features new material looking in greater detail at the work of Holland, Dozier and Holland.

Berry Gordy rejects the original Baby Love.
He tells the Holland brothers, guys, it's not gonna happen.
If you would have heard the original track of that, you'd say, how did that came out to be when it came out to me?
The record producers.
The producers cut.
Saturday night from 9.30.
And BBC6 music.
That sounds fantastic, doesn't it?
That's gonna be very good, yeah.
All those guys, there's an amazing article in Mojo the other month all about Holland, Osea Holland and all those motel guys.
Well there's a terrific documentary I saw recently.
I can't recall its name, I'm getting confused with the Oasis album but it's in the shadow of giants or it's all about the
the musicians who played on all of those tracks was right yeah yeah yeah it was called something like that something like that it was really good and it and it interviewed all the drummers and it sort of tells you how you can recognize each drummer by the very subtle differences in their fills and they play all the different fills and they're some of the best fills i've ever met yeah and are some are some of them called fill
the drummers yeah no no okay it's time for my archive session track and this is one i'm really excited about hearing one of my favorite bands orange juice uh edwin collins has a new album coming out a new solo album coming out soon but this is back from the old days from 1980 and uh one of the great things about orange juice is they're a terrific live band
A lot of their early albums just sound as if they're recorded in one take, like albums used to be.
So they're guaranteed to sound amazing, if not better than the album versions.
And this is a classic track.
This is called Falling and Laughing by Orange Juice.
Joe's pick of the BBC archive.
I only see what I want to see
Is I'm alone and cold
Well, maybe that's true I don't feel like nobody else So I'm standing here so low in tone Oh, what can I do But learn to laugh at myself?
I came satisfied
All I'm saying is I'm alone For falling, falling again Cause I want to take the pleasure with the pain For falling
Yeah, that's Orange Shoes from the 21st of October, 1980, the John Peel sessions on Radio One with Falling Down.
Fantastic.
Falling and Laughing.
Sorry, Falling Down.
That was Michael Douglas and Joel Shoemaker with Falling Down.
Was that Joel Shoemaker as well?
Yeah.
You don't like Joel Shoemaker, do you?
He is an absolute toilet bowl, isn't he?
Hollywood directing wise, though, for goodness sake.
We should call up a list of his films a little later on.
OK, we'll do a Joel Shoemaker tribute link later.
Good lord above.
Now, we've got a very confusing text.
It's from somebody called Al.
He says he's walking nine miles home from a night shift, right?
So we should pay attention to what he wants.
This is what he wants.
Can I beg you not to play haven't a blue, do you?
It needs a got and another have instead of the do or something.
Thanks, fellas.
Oh, it's King Creosote he's talking about.
Oh, he doesn't want me to play that.
You haven't a clue, do you?
Can I beg you not to play haven't a clue, do you?
He's worried about the grammar.
It needs a got and another have instead of the do.
He's saying you... We can't not play it because of the grammar of the title.
No, that's... If we started doing that, we wouldn't play most popular music.
Exactly.
The grammar is very poor in a lot of modern music.
A lot of?
A lot of it.
What was the name of that chap?
He was called, he is called in fact, as long as he's still with us, Owl.
I don't know his second name.
Well you said it, the inflection on the owl was getting ready for a second name then.
Well I'm crazy with my inflections, it makes it more interesting.
Oh, you dropped me right in the inflection bucket.
It's like there's certain comedians that do that, when you say like a number, yeah, I was there for 500.
yeah exactly exactly like that i was there for nine yeah minutes what no that's exactly wrong that's a bad example now uh joe cornish how do you feel about courtney love well i'm confused about courtney love why because she's turning into one of these stars that
struggles in America right and then comes over to England and tries to kind of establish roots uh here she was interfering with Noel Fielding for a while wasn't she the mighty boob then she uh she had a fling with someone else did she did she try and hit on David Walliams
I'm sure she'll get her tentacles on Walliams at some stage.
She's been kind of... Steve Coogan, she had a Tristan.
There you go, Coogan.
But she's always been an anglophile.
Can you imagine?
She used to hang around with the teardrop explodes in the Liverpool scene way back when.
She was always a part of that whole area.
And Britain's been in her blood for a long time.
She's got some kind of crazy book out, hasn't she?
With pictures of her bum.
She's going through a thin stage at the moment, isn't she?
She's on some insane kind of diet.
She actually confuses me.
She reckons she got a little porky towards the end of the last year because she was eating lots of macrobiotic foods and she felt the fact that they were macrobiotic was enough so she could eat as much of them as she wanted.
So she just ate loads and loads of macrobiotic desserts.
I'm confused about her relationship with Kurt Cobain as well.
Right.
Who's obviously one of my rock heroes.
Yeah, you love Cobain.
He's like an untouchable rock god.
That's right, because he seems like such a sensitive soul and she is so much the opposite.
Yeah, well, you know, was she his Yoko Ono?
What does that mean?
I don't know.
We can discuss that more after we hear some of Hole.
This is Miss World.
I am the
Watch me break and watch me burn No one is listening my friend
Under me
Make of that what you will, listeners.
That was Hole with Miss World.
She's so defiant.
She hates the Miss World pageant.
She thinks it's a shallow sham.
What's she talking about?
It's a wonderful pageant.
It's about time the Miss World pageant was targeted and exposed for the ridiculous parade of shallow values it is.
Thanks, Courtney.
Thanks, Courtney.
That's an old track, though, isn't it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's from living through this, I think.
Hey, we don't usually do dedications, but Steve in London has texted us twice.
As he?
Yeah.
It's the most text we've ever got.
He says, please wish Sarah from Edinburgh happy birthday.
She's been texting you two over the past couple o weeks.
Just because of that use of pirate English towards the end of the sentence.
We're reading it out.
Yeah.
Happy birthday, Sarah.
Yeah.
Happy birthday.
Have a lovely one.
And you know, big cuddles and hugs and kisses from me and Adam.
Are we allowed to sing happy birthday?
No, it's copyright.
Yeah.
You have to pay about five grand.
Is that, surely that's an urban myth?
No, it's true.
Is it?
It's true.
You can't sing it, but people do sing it in movies though.
Yeah, but they pay the money, they splash the cash.
Right.
In fact, that is a way that a lot of musicians try and make extra money is by writing new Happy Birthday songs.
R. Kelly's got one.
There you go.
Yeah.
Who else?
Stevie Wonder, of course.
We should have a compilation of those.
You know, if you can write a Happy Birthday song better than that classic, then you could be in the money forever.
Never have to work again.
Maybe there'll be something about that on the news right now, which is read by Nicky and... Think, think.
Try and psychically project into the newsroom and see the newsreaders in your mind's eye.
Mike, Nicky, Mike and Lucy!
It's 8 o'clock, I'm Mike Crook.
In the last hour, prison officers in England and Wales have begun an unofficial strike over pay.
The walkout will last at least 24 hours.
The Ministry of Justice called the action illegal.
Three men have been found dead after an apparent shooting at a house in Bishopstortford in Hertfordshire.
Police have launched a murder inquiry.
The government
outlining new rules that will force graphic images to be put on cigarette packets showing the damage caused by smoking.
15 pictures will be used, including throat tumours and diseased lungs.
And Liverpool and Rangers have both made it through to the group stage of the Champions League.
The weather?
Some rain in Scotland and Northern Ireland elsewhere dry with sunny spells.
Now with six music news, here's Lucio Docherty.
Our top story this hour, ailing rock pioneer Bo Diddley suffered a heart attack last night during a medical check-up at a Florida hospital.
He's recovering there now.
More on that in our next bulletin at 8.30.
BBC 6 Music.
BBC 6 Music.
Closer to the music that matters.
I, I looked into her eyes
Saw through a disguise, but never realized
Thank you
Who's blinded by my fate I've traded love for hate Now I just enrich Goodbye, oh say goodbye I'd rather die, say goodbye
Eight, seven, six, five
There we go, the coral.
He'd rather die than say goodbye, so it's best stick with him.
Otherwise he'll kill himself.
There you go.
Not much of a kind of circumstance to operate a relationship under.
No, that's true.
Championed by the Arctic Monkeys, that band are, very much.
They support them often, don't they?
And I think we'll be doing so at some of the festivals, or have done so.
Right, right.
Yeah, you know they're a good band and they've got a new album out which is supposed to be very good indeed.
Now listeners, this is Adam and Jo on BBC6 Music.
It's time for Serial Thriller.
This is the part of the show where a listener elects two tracks to play back to back so that we can have some brekkie.
and that in itself is thrilling hence the pun serial thriller it's it's a segment that was invented by the fellow we're sitting in for the wonderful sean keaveny who'll be back on monday uh but for the moment we're kind of doing it uh yeah you know another pun would have been yeah i'm just stating the obvious there but yeah it's just radio doing it yeah it is wicked um cereal filler they could have had
And that would imply the records were just filler.
Right.
Wrong.
Exactly.
You need the thriller to make it seem more exciting, don't you?
Yeah.
Who have we got on the line today?
We've got Ewan Stone from Exeter.
Come in, Ewan.
Hello.
How are you doing?
I'm very well, thanks.
How are you?
We're absolutely fine.
We've got some facts about you here, Ewan, so that we can paint more of a picture of your personality there for the listeners.
Are you ready for these?
I'm ready, yep.
Okay, your favourite film, what do you think Ewan's favourite film is?
Just listening to his voice there, Adam.
Listening to his voice, I would say his favourite film is The Last Mimsy.
That's so close.
Yeah?
Which one is it, Ewan?
It's Taxi Driver.
Taxi Driver.
That's a strange one to have as your absolute favourite, though.
Are you a seething nutball?
Yeah.
Pretty much, yeah.
Have you got a lot of rage?
I've got a lot of rage but I keep it locked up.
That's unquestionably a great film.
Of course directed by Martin Scorsese starring Robert De Niro but apparently so and I was just pointing it out for any five year olds listening you know what I mean?
Thanks.
You never know but it's difficult to watch though.
Here's a fact about Taxi Driver.
The only scene in Taxi Driver that doesn't have Travis Bickle in it is what Ewan?
The entire film is told through Travis Bickle's eyes apart from one scene.
What is that scene?
I don't know.
Isn't it the scene with Lady from Moonlighting and she's in the campaign offices?
No, because you can see him through the window.
The only scene is where Harvey Keitel's pimp character.
There's a little scene with him and Jodie Foster, isn't there?
Yeah, but he beats her up.
Does he beat her up, or does he dance with her?
I think he dances with her.
And then beats her up.
And then beats her up.
Isn't that a fascinating fact?
That is fascinating, Joe Cornish.
Joe films Cornish.
And Euan, what do you do?
How do you make your living?
I work in IT and finance.
And you're going on holiday to Italy this weekend, Euan.
Hooray!
Yeah, that'll be fun.
Whereabouts in Italy are you going?
Going to La Marche.
Mark Lamarchi.
Mark Lamarchi.
Wow, that's a very angry town.
That's where they make... obsessed with pop facts.
They make real cream there.
And do you, before you go on holiday, you going for a week, Ewan?
A week, yep.
Before you go on holiday, will you check the 10-day weather forecast or will you just leave it to chance?
I think I'll go as far as the five day weather forecast.
That's good.
Leave a bit of kind of mystery to the holiday.
Right.
Yeah, because it can be depressing if you check that 10 day forecast, you go out there and it's totally rubbish.
You just think, why am I even bothering?
Because usually it's right.
You know, that's the thing.
You think, wow, weather forecasts, they're not always right, are they?
Yeah, pretty much they are when you go on holiday.
Our final fact about Ewan and maybe the most fascinating fact of all is that Ewan is currently engaged in the making of his very own film.
Is that right, Ewan?
Are you doing a film course?
Are you making a short film or are you launching into your first feature?
I'm starting off with a short and probably ending with a short to be honest.
What's it called?
It's called the busker.
The busker.
The busker.
I like it.
Is it pornographic?
No, it's family friendly film.
No.
Good, good, good.
No it's not.
Where's your accent from?
That's not an Exeter accent is it Ewan?
No, Scotland.
Aberdeen originally.
Aberdeen, right.
I like the fact that our callers, we question them so much.
You hear a certain weariness in their voices by the end of our questioning.
How long has this been going on for?
Six minutes?
It's like, why did I call that show?
So tell us about the music you've picked out for us, Ewan.
um well it's um the two songs are hit the city by mark lannigan and touch the soda by deus who's my favorite artist really the mark lannigan band and deus not tracks that i'm familiar with at all actually well hopefully you'll like them
Yeah, well thank you very much.
I am looking forward to making their acquaintance.
Hey Ewan, thanks for putting up with this.
Thanks for calling.
If you listeners out there want to do a serial thriller, then get in touch with us via email or by text.
Yeah.
But Ewan, have a fantastic time in Italy.
I really hope the weather is perfect for you.
Have a good break.
Have a great day.
And here's the Mark Lanigan band with Hit the City.
Dark descends through the Promised Land Damn Kingdom come and the acid bed Of Babylon burning Tied out, nothing to kill I hit the city
I watched a trip on my old soul And in the end I crawled Was my skin, I couldn't kill it I hit the city
Hit the city Ghost arrives at his bed-out room
Promised land in the darkest sands Of Babylon burning Tired of nothing to kill it
Adam and Joe on 6music.
Get up!
Can I?

C'mon, it's there, it's gone, it might, it's wet, it's there, so long, it's first, it's all, a ring, a curve, a gear, a wave, it might, it falls, you know, you know, it's all, a fight, a fight, a fight, a fight, a fight, a fight, a fight, a fight, a fight, a fight, a fight, a fight, a fight, a fight, a fight, a fight,

new music on 6music this week.
Wow, all those different sounds and they were all in a sequence.
Six music.
Terry, we're doing a trail on Friday.
At about 4.42, can you just call from your phone and say six music?
You alright?
Sure.
Yeah, thanks.
And I'll record you and then I'll put it in the trail.
Six music.
Make it sound quite urgent, as if someone's going, what's the best radio station?
Quickly.
Six music.
I love trails like that.
Before that you heard the two music choices of our caller today, our serial thriller Ewan, who is out there in Exeter, and he chose for us the Mark Lanigan band and Deus with a track called Suds and Soda.
And before that you heard Adam Buxton being very rude about Hollywood filmmaker Joel Shoemaker.
Now I feel a bit bad about it because Joe's been talking in his defence and because Joe is one of the people that listens to the commentaries on a lot of movies on DVD.
And Joe's telling me what a nice guy he sounds like on his movies, but I was made he's terribly He's quite old Joe to me.
I don't care how old he had a he had an industrious career as a set decorator You're gonna say an industrial accident as a young man in the 70s.
He was a flamboyant costume designer and set decorator, right?
I
He's a gay man, and he had a terrific time in the 70s by the looks of things, doing all sorts of bits and bobs.
He's a little ravaged now.
He's a little ravaged.
And then, you know, when I was a kid and didn't really have much taste in films, he made some classics, The Lost Boys.
I love that film.
Your affection for him is more or less based on The Lost Boys.
Yeah, and also St.
Elmo's Fire.
St.
Elmo's Fire.
Now, I did watch that recently.
Yeah it's a terrible terrible terrible film but when it was released in 1980 whatever it seemed like the most glamorous sophisticated and exciting thing in the world.
1985.
Well it was a it was a Brat Pack film wasn't it?
Yeah.
So it had the likes of Andrew McCarthy in it and who else was in it?
All those fellas Roderick O'Dell.
Demi Moore.
Simon Thompson.
All the Brat Packers.
John Turner.
Phil Robespierre.
Felicity Huck.
Here's another email, Adam, that might make you think again about your dislike for Joel Shoemaker.
Oh yeah, who's it from?
It's from Sean McDonald.
Hello Adam and Joe.
As I turned on the radio this morning, I caught you describing Joel Shoemaker as, quote, an absolute toilet bowl.
That's true, I can prove it.
When I was living in New York in 1998, I met up with a friend who now lives in Toronto.
Whilst we were having lunch in a deli, in came Joel Shoemaker with another guy.
My friend Jason Walker looked directly at him and booed him.
Ooh, I wouldn't do that.
I was shocked.
My friend turned to me and said, that was for Batman and Robin.
That's rough, man.
Joel Shoemaker looked sadly at the ground.
I think he knew.
Another friend of mine once booed Hale and Pace when he was getting money out of a cash line in Aberdeen.
You've got the wrong friends, guy.
Listen, I'm not advocating people going, I would never boo the bloke.
And I was not saying that he as a human being was a toilet bowl.
Joel Schumacher, he's a very soft and self-deprecating man.
That's fine.
There is a division though between the artist and the man.
And I'm talking about Joel Schumacher, the director of films such as Batman Forever.
He's ashamed of that film.
Batman and Robin.
If you listen to the commentary on Batman and Robin, only available on the double disc special edition.
Well, what's he talking about on the... He is ashamed.
What does he talk about on the commentary for The Client then?
One of the most unwatchable films ever made with Susan Sarandon.
You like courtroom thrillers.
Not that one.
That was a test of my affection for courtroom thrillers and it failed.
He discovered Brad Renfro.
Oh.
Okay?
Who Brad Renfro?
He's the guy that got high on drugs and tried to steal a boat whilst forgetting to unchain it from the dock.
He's brilliant.
He's a brilliant actor.
He's in Larry Clark's Bully.
Right.
He's really good in that.
He's in all sorts of good things.
Listen, I'm not saying that he's an entirely worthless person.
I don't want to have him killed or anything, but eight millimeter with Nick Cage.
But it does contain the line.
uh you can't unsee what you see i like that line yeah and of course the number 23 which joel schumacher directed uh which came out earlier yeah that's that's um one of adam and my favorite films of this year the number 23 just because of its breathtaking awfulness
It includes a mysterious book full of kind of mysterious clues and stuff and sort of prophetic Jim Carrey finds this book It's given to him as a present for his birthday.
I assessed with numbers why he's obsessed in particular with the number 23 It's this idea that the number 23 is everywhere in the world Yeah, that I hadn't heard of before this film and I quit that I quickly forgot I'll do it any number, but anyway He discovers this mysterious book in a bookshop and the author of the book is a woman called Topsy Kretz
Top secrets.
T-O-P-S-Y, new word, K-R-E-T-T-S.
Top secrets.
So by the end of the film, suddenly, all these weird things are happening that seem to have been predicted by the book, and it clicks!
A light bulb flashes on in Jim's head.
Top secrets.
Top secrets.
Top secrets!
Top secrets!
Oh my god.
Her name is Top Secrets!
It's amazing.
You should kind of see it just for that moment.
Yeah.
Here's some Maximo Park with Girls Who Play Guitars.
With me, a year to the day Three hundred and sixty Five days, watching me decay We used to talk about girls who play guitars We used to talk about plans in time
In the gaps between words are the things that really intrigue me It's the gasps and the sighs that say more about what's inside you We used to cuddle on a high horse every time We used to talk about boys with missing spines
It never struck her to pause one minute in her life The path of excess just led to boredom You've lived your life with your mouth wide open It's her life and her life is worth living Her life
Don't you know how much that hurts You could pretend and I wouldn't know I could be who you wanted in the dark She goes how she gets up She gets up She goes how she gets in She goes how she gets up She gets up She goes how she gets in It's her life and her life is worth living
Another struggle, just a possible finish It's her life, and her life is worth living We used to talk about girls who played guitar We used to talk about girls who played guitar We used to talk about girls who played guitar
Maximo Park no longer talking about girls who play guitars.
Now they just talk about politics.
George Bush.
George Bush.
They like to talk about George Bush.
He's drunk with power.
He is drunk with power.
Yeah.
And Gordon Brown, he's a breath of fresh air.
He's a fresh of breath air.
Everyone's forgotten about the bad old days and all the mistakes that Tony B. Lyre made.
And it's a fresh start not only for the country, but for the Labour Party itself.
A jug-eared Scottish breath of fresh air.
Whisk Whisk he sent it air now.
We just had an email a message from someone who is listening in Finland Yes, his name is Tim bird.
He's a journalist editor and photographer, and he says to Adam and Joe I've been listening to you for I've been listening to you two for two weeks, and I have no idea who you are There's no biography on the website, so who the hell are you and where do you come from are you?
Comedians?
You're quite funny, by the way.
Tim Bird, journalist, editor, photographer.
Finland.
Well, thanks very much for your message, Tim, and thanks for not ending that email with a stream of abuse, which I thought that was the direction that I thought it was going to go in.
Does Wikipedia exist in Finland?
It must do.
Pop us into Wikipedia.
We're on Wikipedia, but there should be a biog for us on 6music.
Basically, Joe and I used to do a TV show on Channel 4, which we started doing in 1997.
It was kind of a cutlery and dishware review show.
We used to review all the latest table furnishings.
Joe's joking.
He's joking.
I'm a comedian.
He's a kind of comedian.
It was like a pop culture review show, Tom.
Tim?
What was his name again?
Tony Tom Tim Tom Tim from Finland sorry I forgot your name there for a second and We are we used to make it ourselves so it was a homemade it was like Wayne's world except real it was the way I used to explain it sometimes and And that was it we made that for a few years and after that we appeared on on some top hundred shows talking about scariest movies and things like that and
And now we mainly beg on street corners and we do this.
Hey, we noticed in the last news bulletin he didn't say fag packets.
He changed it to cigarette packets.
We've had an effect on the news.
We're powerful.
And now here is the news on BBC6 Music, read by Mike and Lucy.
Digital radio.
Digital TV.
BBC 6Music.
Prison officers walk out.

And in 6Music News, Bo Diddley suffers a heart attack.
The boss in the UK and Cajun dance party hold off for school.
BBC 6 music.
It's 8.30, I'm Mike Crook.
Prison officers in England and Wales have begun an unofficial strike over pay.
The walkout will last at least 24 hours.
The Ministry of Justice called the action illegal.
But the National Chairman of the Prison Officers Association, Colin Moses, says they weren't striking lightly.
As responsible as we can be, after two years of frustration, two years of below inflation pay awards, these are professional men and women who every day
look after those committed by the courts to all prisons.
Surely we should be treated as well, if not better, than the prisoners we look after.
In other Six Music News, police in Hertfordshire have launched a murder inquiry after an apparent shooting at a house in Bishopstawford.
Three men were found dead.
Pictures of throat tumours and diseased lungs are to be printed on cigarette packets under new government rules being outlined today.
The Department of Health says the warnings were tried in Canada and proved effective.
A Leicester City footballer is in hospital after collapsing at half-time in a Carling Cup tie against Nottingham Forest.
Clive Clarke is in a stable condition at a cardiac unit in a Nottingham Hospital.
Leicester's chief executive Tim Davies says everyone hopes Clive will make a full recovery.
Liverpool and Rangers have both made it through to the group stage of the Champions League.
Liverpool beat Toulouse 4-0 last night, winning 5-0 in total.
Rangers held on for a goalless draw against Red Star Belgrade.
They go through 1-0 overall.
And the weather.
Some rain in Scotland and Northern Ireland, elsewhere dry with sunny spells.
Temperatures around 18 degrees Celsius.
And with six music news, here's Lucio Docherty.
BBC, six music.
Bodedly is recovering in hospital this morning after suffering a heart attack last night.
The 78-year-old has been ill for a while.
He had a stroke in May and has recently lost host to diabetes.
He was actually in hospital for a check-up yesterday when he had the heart attack and is recovering there now.
In other 6music news this morning, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band have announced their first major tour of the US, UK and Europe in five years.
They'll be playing one date in Britain though, in London on December 19th.
Cage and Dance Party have released a limited edition, unchartable single this week called Amylase.
The band have been on the festival circuit this summer as well as in the studio with their producer, Bernard Butler.
They're holding off on the release of
their album yet, though, and aren't keen to start charting with singles just yet, mainly because they still have a year to go with their A levels, as singer Daniel explains.
If we put out a single now, we've still got a year of school, so it would be pretty difficult to, we'd have to keep on releasing singles every week, and then release the album early, so we're releasing the album next year, so there's plenty of times for chart eligible singles.
And details of the soundtrack to the Joy Division film Control have been released.
It'll feature tracks from The Killers, Bowie and the Sex Pistols as well as new compositions from New Order.

Yeah, they're just sort of open, they're just, they creak open, but right now we're throwing them open and we are encouraging you to communicate with us on today's Text the Nation subject, which is... Today's Text the Nation subject, Adam, is...
I'm just opening the envelope that's come from the Houses of Parliament.
Let's see what the subject is.
Today's Text the Nation subject is disappointing encounters with famous people.
That's a good one.
It's disappointing only, is it?
I think so.
We like to be downbeat on this show.
I thought we were going to have best and worst.
Let's keep it moribund.
Alright.
well we could have some good ones as well basically encounters with famous people specifically your heroes if there's somebody who you kind of worshipped and always imagined what they would really be like and then maybe you ran into them or met them did they live up or
Do down your expectations.
Is that a phrase?
Do down.
Do dem down.
Do down.
Do down.
That's the kind of duvet I have, it's made from do down.
Do down.
So let's give the listeners some examples but quickly we'll give you the text number.
It's 64046 or you can email adamandjoe.sixmusicatbbc.co.uk with your encounters with the famous.
You know I was just thinking, sorry to go on a tiny bit of a tangent here, but
That very sad story.
I thought it was tragic about the Joel Schumacher incident.
With being booed.
That's rough, man.
Well, that's an encounter with a famous person.
I guess it is, but I was thinking it would be interesting, not that it would ever happen, but if you got a load of celebrities to call in with their worst encounter with a... With normal people.
With a muggle.
What about, now that Sparks record, which was a great record we just heard there.
We met Sparks, didn't we?
When we did the Cure Awards.
Years ago.
Now, they're people you particularly like.
Yeah, but that was a painful day.
I don't know about you, Joe, but I didn't feel we did our best work hosting the Cure Awards.
No.
Well, it's a tough gig.
But there we go.
That day I met Thom Yorke from Radiohead.
I found myself, we gave them an award or something, didn't we?
And then I found myself walking off the stage with Thom Yorke.
And he said to me, how does he speak, Tommy?
What's his speaking voice like?
It's very much like his singing voice.
Kind of like that.
Well, he said to me, are you having a nice time, then?
Is that a good impression?
Not like that.
I said, yeah, yeah, God, I'm having a brilliant time.
You know, it's just brilliant.
You know, amazing just to be standing on a stage with you.
He said, oh, don't be stupid.
Shut up.
And not as if he was going, oh, don't be stupid.
It was like, don't, don't actually.
You're making me sick.
Don't be stupid.
Shut up.
Shut up.
Shut up.
I went, oh.
And that was pretty much that for my relationship with Tom York.
What do you say though to that?
If someone says, oh, you know, meeting people like you, it's amazing.
I'd say wicked.
Thanks.
It must be for you.
Do you want me to punch you?
Would that be wicked for you?
Yes, it probably would.
So there's my disappointing encounter with a famous person.
I tell you what my best encounter with a famous person would probably be when I interviewed Dustin Hoffman for BBC Radio 4.
He was amazing.
You know what, I've got a Dustin Hoffman story as well.
Do you?
Yeah, what's yours first then?
Well it was just an interview and he was just really charming.
He talked about how tall I was and he said, this is another good impression coming up.
He said, I got a brother who's really small, but he wishes he was tall.
So every time he comes through a door, he bends over as if it was too short for him.
That's a good anecdote.
Good anecdote.
Yeah, but he was just lovely.
That's lovely, isn't it?
To make that effort to connect with you, especially someone like you.
It's true.
It is true.
You know what I mean?
And my Dustin Hoffman anecdote was when I was working as a
a bartender in a 50s theme restaurant in the West End.
It was at the top of somewhere called the Trocadero, which still exists.
The Trocadero still exists in Piccadilly Circus, but the restaurant doesn't.
It was called the Rock Island Diner.
And I used to work there.
And my girlfriend at the time was one of the waitresses.
She was lovely, beautiful lady called Karen.
And one day Dustin Hoffman came in with his with his family and he was having a meal there.
And
Suddenly he got up and he started, the DJ was playing a song, because we had a DJ in there, he was playing a song by Elvis or something.
They used to encourage the punters to dance.
That's right, yeah.
And I DJ'd there occasionally, played a lot of 50's music and stuff.
And I think maybe a Bobby Darin song came on, Beyond the Sea or something.
Does Dustin start dancing?
Dancing Dustin?
Dustin got up.
and he started dancing with my girlfriend Karen and he did an amazing job though it was really beautiful he was a brilliant dancer and Karen was literally swept off her feet she was on roller skates and Karen was very tall as well and Hoffman's a little fella he's tiny I mean he's really tiny so it was a sort of a funny sight but he was so graceful it was brilliant everyone was just completely captivated you know and it was an amazing moment and he was just totally charming gave her a massive tip and
He's the man.
So text us with your disappointing, I think we're focusing on, meetings with famous people.
People who you idolise, who've maybe let you down or been a bit rude to you.
We can let successful meetings in there.
Yeah but they're not as fun as disappointing ones.
Alright then, alright.
Text 64046 or email adamandjoe.sixmusic at bbc.co.uk.
Joe, we've been invited to a Cajun dance party.

And you can also email incidentally as is made clear in the jingle.
Yeah, Adam and Joe.
Dot six music at BBC.co.uk.
Here we go, you ready Adam?
Yeah.
I met Adam and Joe at the NME Awards in 2000.
Adam bought me a drink, Joe didn't.
From Emma Leatherbarrow in Sheffield.
Emma, did you have as bad a time as we had?
I left those awards because I thought it was a miserable event and I'd rather be anywhere else in the world.
At the Bratz.
We were there because we were picking up an award for Travis who were on tour at the time and asked if we would go and pick up their award for them for best live act.
And it was like a pathetic school assembly.
All the acts were trying to be as anti-establishment as they possibly could.
They were all grumpy and throwing things and heckling.
But in a very pathetic way.
I mean the atmosphere was charged with violence and animosity because Blur and Oasis were in the room together for the first time since their spat.
and uh super furry animals were doing a lot of heckling and um Mogwai were particularly vocal and just heckling absolutely everybody and uh uh Griff from the super furry animals went up to collect one of the first awards of the night and Steve LaMack was hosting I remember and Griff very very slowly walked over to the podium and just pushed it over but pushed it over so slowly everyone was watching it was that him
yeah and it all just like the sound of it kind of collapsed very slowly and then the mic fell over gradually and then there was a little bit of feedback and Steve Lammack was like oh the mic's fallen over i have to pick that up and then uh graft you know he sort of picked it up but graft kind of stayed on stage you know there was no sort of like
No provado is like That's for you the man.
Okay, the man.
How'd you like that?
I pushed over that thing.
He just pushed it over very slowly and then And then he says shook Steve Lomax hand and then he went off and again
Here's another one.
This is from Roz.
Paul Daniels stopped at traffic lights.
Mate taps on car window and screams, do some magic, you little turd.
Daniels just sat there.
Disappointing.
Now Roz, I wouldn't encourage that kind of behaviour.
No way.
Daniels brought magic to many millions of people.
Seriously.
absolutely he's much misunderstood yeah you gotta value these people imagine the poor man's life he drives around in a car with a fancy number plate doesn't he i think it might be madge one cup or something like that
Anyway, okay, here's another one from Roger in Norwich.
I got to meet Kim Deal after seeing the Pixies at Ali Pally and she was completely lovely, cooler than you can possibly imagine.
I bet, I bet.
Thumbs up for Kim Deal.
Good one.
I'm not surprised by that.
Have you met Kim Deal?
Never met her, I would love to meet her, she's adorable.
Apparently she really is.
Here's another one.
This is from Ellen from Liverpool.
My boyfriend Jim and I met Colin from Radiohead.
I was ready, poised with a camera,
What?
No, my boyfriend Jim and I met Colin from Radiohead.
I was ready poised with a camera when Jim asked for a photo with him, but Colin shut us down immediately, refusing point blank.
No, no photographs.
Well, it doesn't put it doesn't put the anecdote in context there.
Maybe it wasn't a good time.
You know, I've met Colin.
Yeah, he's nice.
Nice guy.
He's very obliging as well.
He's not the kind of person that would shut someone down for no reason.
Maybe he's a vampire.
We need more context.
Maybe he actually doesn't come out in photos or mirrors.
We're going to have some more of these in just a second, but first, here's a track that you thoroughly approve of, Joe.
Oh yeah, this is great.
This is Tried Called Quest with Check the Rhyme.
I'm going to enjoy this.
On the boulevard I lended We used to kick routines and the presence was fitting It was I, the abstract, and me the five footer I kicks the mad style so step off the frank footer Yo Fife, you remember that routine?

the presence was fit and it was hot.
The viper, it made the abstract.
The rhymes were so rumpin' that the brothers wrote the zap.
Hey yo, Tip, do you recall when we used to rock?
Those fly routines on your cousin's block?
Let me see.
Damn, I can't remember.
I received the message and you will play the same.

You're on the time, Fife.
So play the resurrection.

Okay, if knowledge is the key, then just show me the lot.
Got the scrawny legs, but I move just like Lou Brock with speed.
I'm agile, plus I'm worth your while.
100% intelligent black child.
My opera presentation sizzles the retina.
How far must you go to gain respect?
Well, it's kind of simple.
Just remain your own, or you'll be crazy sad and alone.
People are shady, so kids watch your back cuz I think they smoke crack I don't doubt it, look at how they act Look off the better things like a hip hop forum Pass me the rock and I'll score with the corner and proper What you say hammer?
Proper, rap is not pop if you call it that then stop
BBC 6 Music.
Adam and Joe.
He's not sure what he should do She's 17, he's 22 Is that too much of a difference?
So instead, look what he's done He's found a girl who's 31 He's had too much of a difference She's got everything he wants
She's got a mate who says, behave, you're not too bad, but twice your age, does that really make any difference?
He's had a few, we've all been there, just 17, but he don't care, I don't think he knows the difference.
Cause she's got everything he wants.
She's got everything he needs.
Take a bite, take a bite, take a bite, take a bite, take a bite to her face.
She's got everything he wants.
I know he feels a fool, I saw her on the bus to school, should that really make any difference?
What would her dad say if he knew she's on her knees?
He's 22, I don't think he'd like the difference, does that really make any difference?
she's got everything she's got everything
The pigeon detectives take her back.
This is Adam and Joe on BBC6 music just coming up to nine o'clock.
We're here for another hour and a couple of minutes.
It's nearly the news, but first, here are some more responses to text the nation.
This is coming from Gary.
Ready for this, Adam?
Yeah, just to remind people, we're talking about celebrity encounters, mainly ones that were a great disappointment, maybe some good ones, too.
Hey, Adam and Joe.
When I was a kid, I went to the motor show at the NEC.
At the top gear stand, I saw Jeremy Clarkson.
The Clarkmeister.
I asked him to autograph my motor show program, when he said to me, you're supposed to buy a Top Gear magazine for me to autograph, you little bustard.
Except he didn't say it like that, did he?
No, he said the word bustard properly.
I was gobsmacked.
I was only a kid.
Clarkson was my hero.
Quentin Wilson, who was stood next to Clarkson, just looked down at me and said, just ignore him.
He's a... Now, how can I say this word?
Is it the C word?
A twit.
A twit.
Just ignore him.
He's a twit.
Only with an A instead of the I.
Yeah.
So that's pretty disappointing from Clarkson there.
Well Clarkson was just joshing surely.
Here's a good one.
This is from John David in Streatham.
Good morning gentlemen.
I met a really sober, just after filming Harry Potter, Gary Oldman at my graduation ball.
He is a total hero of mine but sadly I was drunk when I was introduced.
I was told by the Dracula playing character that he liked my record collection, as I'd been DJing earlier that night, and I, in a blurred and impassioned tone, as if I was conveying information that he needed to know in the embarrassingly forceful voice that only a drunk man produced, said, Oh, and I love your films!
to which he was ushered away like lightning, away from my booze-tinged admiration.
That's okay, man.
You acquitted yourself admirably there.
I think Gary would have been happy with that.
Nothing to be worried about at all.
Anyway, it's time for the news now.
We'll have some more texts and some more... Oh yes, yes.
Joe's just reminding me.
Who the news is read by.
Who the news is read by.
In case there's another embarrassing slippage.
Look, I don't want any fights with the news guys, so maximum respect to Mike and Lucy reading the news for you now.
It's 9 o'clock, I'm Mike Crook.
Prison officers in England and Wales have called an unofficial strike over pay.
The Ministry of Justice says the action's illegal.
Police in Hertfordshire have launched a murder inquiry into the deaths of three people after reports of a shooting at a house in Bishopstortford.
Pictures of throat tumours and diseased lungs are to be printed on cigarette packets under new government rules being outlined today.
In Afghanistan, the Taliban are reported to have released three South Korean women they took hostage.
And in sport, Liverpool and Rangers are both through to the group stage of the Champions League.
The weather?
Some rain in Scotland and Northern Ireland, elsewhere dry with sunny spells.
Temperatures around 18 degrees Celsius.
With six music news, here's Lucio Docherty.
Our top story this hour, concern for troubled singer Amy Winehouse continues this morning.
We heard from her in-laws yesterday.
Today, her dad has been speaking out about his worries for her.
More on that in our next bulletin at 9.30.

Nancy Boy by Placebo.
Placebo.
Now, what's his name?
Brian Molko, isn't it?
Brian Molko was someone that had a celebrity encounter with my dad.
Now, which was the biggest celebrity?
That's the question.
My dad interviewed Brian when we were at... It's rather insulting to Brian.
Well, yeah.
When we were at V97, we were backstage trying to get famous people to talk to my dad.
for our TV show, the Adam and Joe show.
And Brian Mulko was one of the few people that agreed to chat to my... Your dad said, did you borrow a girl?
Didn't know what sex Brian Mulko was.
Brian Mulko was absolutely charming, very nice indeed to my dad, unlike the stereophonics.
oh they were a disgrace they had a pipe up their nose yeah is that an expression i don't know i don't know what that aloofness aloofness they certainly did have pipes in their trousers and they were they were so like kind of pathetic with him and they were just totally off you know what i mean like totally disrespectful to a 70 year old man i don't care whose father he is
You know, you don't treat a septuagenarian that way.
You've got to have respect for the elders, it's one of the values that people have forgotten in anarchy UK.
And Kelly Jones was just sort of surly and offhand, and that guy, that goofbag that they fired, Richard Cable, whatever his name was, he was okay actually, he was the nicest one of the lot, but still he was just a bit of a jackass.
We're asking you, sorry to interrupt you there.
That's quite alright, that's pretty much it.
We're asking you to text in your most disappointing or exciting encounters with famous people, the text number 64046, or you can email Adam and joe.sixmusicatbbc.co.uk.
Here's one that's come in from Daniel from Durham.
I was able to interview famous psychic Derek Okora, and I was in awe of his psychic ability.
You know that fella, don't you, Adam?
Yeah.
On Mostly Ghostly.
Sixth Sense he does, doesn't he?
Does he do that?
He might do that.
That might be his solo show.
He's definitely on Mostly Ghostly a lot with Becky Turnball or whatever her name is.
Just making up all the names.
Don't really watch those ghostly shows.
Anyway, I walked into the room.
He was smoking like a chimney and had a really growly voice until I switched on the microphone and his voice suddenly became ethereal and floaty for the benefit of the audience.
Can you imagine that?
Yeah.
What does voice sound like before the microphone went on?
And what would it sound like when the microphone went on?
That's exactly what it sounded like.
Hi Adam and Joe, this is from Brian in Belfast.
I have to admit I find it hard to watch Seinfeld star Michael Cramer Richards after an encounter in London a couple of years ago.
I would have thought you'd find it hard to watch him after his hideous racist outburst.
That's what I was thinking he was going to say.
This is before that.
We walked by a restaurant in Camden and my friend said, that was Kramer from Seinfeld back there.
I didn't believe her, but we walked back and indeed it was him.
After much deliberating, I decided to go up and ask him if he'd be OK if I had my picture taken with him.
He was at a table outside on his own in full view.
I thought it must be OK.
He must be all right with this sort of thing.
But when I asked him for a photo, he looked up all stroppy and just said, I'd rather eat.
What a gimp.
Now you know I have some sympathy for celebrities who don't like having their picture taken.
Well of course it's it's very invasive and awkward and if you're just a naturally shy person it's no good.
And if you're properly famous it can happen literally the entire time especially because people have cameras on mobile phones
Like I recently went with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost and Edgar Wright on their US promotional tour for Hot Fuzz and they're pretty famous out there and it can be impossible literally just to get down the street.
Right.
Because everybody has a camera and everybody wants a picture with you.
Yeah.
And the second you say no they think you're a sodding one.
Yeah that's true isn't it.
However
it's very easy to deal with those situations in a way that that lot Simon and Edgar and Nick are very good at you know that they're pretty much unfailingly obliging aren't they and they they deal with people who like their stuff very very well that's all you have to do generally because it's like their lives aren't completely taken over by it and Michael Richards if he's going to decide to sit outside as that bloke was saying who was at the center
in that message?
I don't know, no it was Brian from Belfast.
Brian I kind of agree with you there you know and it's very easy if you don't want your picture taken to be polite about it and not just kind of throw a little strop fit.
Yeah.
So that's two strikes against Richard I reckon.
Richard's you're off our list.
Now Joe it's time for your breakfast single of the week.
Yeah yeah yeah this is King Creosote this is called You've No Clue Do You.
No clue, do you?
No clue, do you?
No clue, do you?
No clue, do you?
As with all your rules of thumb, this one comes with an end.
There's few good moves in there for some,
With no small success Oh, could do you Oh, could do you Oh, could do you Oh, could do you Oh, could do you Oh, could do you

I'll tell you a funny program.
Trigger Happy TV, have you seen it?
He makes crazy stunts.
It's Adam and Joe on BBC6Music.
You join us in the middle of... That was just a bit of topical chat for you, some ideas for what you can talk about today.
We're in the middle of Text the Nation, the nation's favourite feature.
It's where we ask you to text us about things.
The number is 64046.
The email is adamandjoe.6music at bbc.co.uk.
Okay, here we go.
Here are some more.
You ready Adam?
Go on then.
This is from El Cid.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Whilst on holiday as a child, my cousin and I saw Lenny Bennett near our digs.
Oh man.
We went over, excited like, and asked for his autograph.
He shot us a glance, lit a fag, and told us to beep off.
Oh Bennett.
I think that's the correct reaction there.
Really?
Yeah.
No.
Somehow I kind of admire celebrities who are just really rude.
Really?
Do you know?
Have you never been rude to anyone who's come up to you?
No, no I'm always so excited.
Well it doesn't happen to us that often so we're always very pleased when it does.
Yeah well we're lucky because if people know who we are they tend to like us.
If they don't like us, then they just don't know who we are, right?
If you're properly famous, everybody knows who you are, whether they like you or not.
That's true, exactly.
So you get like a critique from everybody.
Yeah, everyone's got an opinion.
Yeah.
Here's another one.
I had a childhood crush on Lenny Kravitz, but when I met him, he wasn't the tall, dark, handsome man I dreamed of.
He is short and skinny with legs like a frog.
That's like me.
Says Juliet.
Legs like a frog, so kind of bandy and boingy.
Because he was an early pioneer of the tight trouser look, wasn't he?
Yeah, he was.
He loves all that stuff, the rock posturing.
Yeah, he's a silly fellow.
He's apparently one of the nicest people... Is that really so?
...on God's green eyes.
Really?
Who's told you that?
Our old manager Fenton.
Really?
Yeah.
The Kravitz.
He's hung out with him in LA and just says he's the best company.
Really?
He's really nice.
He's very sexy.
He's a good looking man.
Yeah.
He gets all the best looking girlfriends.
I bet he does.
I bet he does.
Goodness.
But he's got legs like a frog.
He's got legs like a frog.
I bet he'll not go to France.
I don't care.
He'll get cooked up and eaten.
Very funny.
Very amusing.
A French dish.
Very amusing.
I don't care for his music.
Really?
No, by no means.
Here's another one from Chris in Forest Gate.
When I was about 13, I was using a phone box in the South Bank.
When I finished, I turned and saw Rod Hull waiting behind me.
I said, hello, Rod.
Where's the bird?
Oh, nice one.
I bet Rod was delighted with that.
Beep off.
I'm sure he did.
Very disappointing.
Chris, that is not disappointing.
That is the correct response.
Where's the bird?
Where's the bird?
It's people like you, Chris, that make the world go round.
Well done.
This is Adam and Jo on BBC6 Music.
It's time for some music.
This is oh, it's a free choice.
This is a track for anybody who's breaking up with their girlfriend today.
It's called Get Out of My Life Woman.

Get off my life, children.
I've got to see my way around.
Get off my life, children.
I've got to see my way around.

And for once in my life, I was just speechless.
This is the show that gets to the heart of the biggest names in sport.
England have a squad of players who can win the World Cup.
We didn't do it.
And I'm extremely sorry about that.
So what will the big names reveal in the new series?

Text!
Text!
Textination!
What if I don't want to?
Textination!
But I'm using email.
Is that a problem?
It doesn't matter!
Text!
That mixed really well, didn't it?
The Calvin Harris into the text of the nation jingle.
Yeah, he should consider covering that.
He should integrate it into his set.
He played live in the hub yesterday and you can listen again to his amazing set.
There were about a hundred cameramen filming the set.
It was amazing.
It was an important event.
It was a real production number and I think you can see the video online, can't you?
Yeah, you just go to BBC6 music.
uh you don't need to give urls anymore do you you just pop that into google exactly give it a whizz mugs there is bbc6 music and it's the listen again thing isn't it you can hear this show on listen again yeah i don't know why i'm saying that because
Either you're listening to it now or you're listening to it again and you already know that.
We're asking you to text in your encounters with famous people, disappointing or rewarding.
We'll do the last little link on this.
Here's a final little round-up.
This is from Mike Hartley in Bury in Lancashire.
Many years ago whilst waiting at the taxi rank at Manchester Piccadilly train station on a boozy Friday night, we noticed that next to us in the queue was a Robbie Coltrane.
Cracker!
Hagrid.
Hagrid.
Hey, Potter.
We said, wow, Robbie Coltrane, hello.
And then the conversation ran dry.
At that point, my drunken friend Ian thought a reality check was required and said, wow, you're actually much fatter than you look on the telly.
Oh, what?
Robbie Coltrane did not look flattered.
It's all about the drunk friends in these emails.
Here's another one.
Yo Adam and Joe, good morning.
This is from Paul Evs in Deutschland.
I once met Richard Wilson at Tower Records in Piccadilly Circus.
I don't believe it.
You could be in this story.
He was there with some other celebrities, including the Pussy Galore woman, the actress who played Pussy Galore, for some Terrence Higgins Trust promo years and years ago.
I don't believe it.
Anyway, Wilson was flooded by autograph hunters and everyone was very polite.
My mate Kempe, Kempe sounds like a disaster, my mate Kempe, Kempe, my mate Kempe was hounding him to say I don't believe it.
Go on, say it, I don't believe it, oh please, Kempe, go on Kempe, ask him, alright mate, Kempe will ask him, go on, say it, we'll say it, go on, please.
in a very thespian voice richard wilson politely refused but the kemps kept on and on and on and on and on and on until meldrew cracked meldrew said just bugger off you little sh1t and walked i such a shame we can't swear on this program
That anecdote's ruined by the inability to say that word.
Just bugger off, you little sh1t.
And walked off.
I couldn't believe it.
The Kempmeister couldn't believe it either.
And Pussy Galore couldn't believe it.
I don't believe it!
That's brilliant, Paul.
I like the fact that you call him Kempe, the Kempster and the Kempmeister, all in one email.
If this was a competition, which it isn't because they've been banned, that would win.
That would win.
Fair enough, I think.
There are some people, and Richard Wilson is one of them, who are so intimately associated with their most successful catchphrase that
There's like a physical imperative.
It's like a curse for the poor man.
It's like Ricky Tomlinson.
You'd want him to say my arse otherwise you'd be very disappointed.
Now, speaking of arses, here are the Smashing Pumpkins with That's The Way My Love Is.
No good reason
Where you hide
The Smashing Pumpkins with That's The Way, My Love Is.

Government condemns prison officers strike, Taliban release women hostages and scientists work on real life Spiderman suit.
And in 6 Music news, Amy's dad's drastic measures, Bo Diddley suffers heart attack and Bruce on tour.
It's 9.30, I'm Mike Crook.
Thousands of prison officers have gone on strike in England and Wales.
The action's unofficial and the Ministry of Justice has called it illegal.
At Wormwood Scrubs in West London, the Prison Officers' Association says there are now eight governors looking after 1300 inmates.
Alan Gourley from the POA is on the picket line.
I have to say I didn't even know until five o'clock this morning we got a call from our national executive committee to inform both myself and my colleague local secretary John Hancock that there was to be a national strike this morning so obviously we just turned up here and tried to get it organized so we didn't have very much warning either.
In other six music news, the Red Cross says Taliban rebels in Afghanistan have released three more South Korean hostages from a large group they've been holding for more than a month.
All of those freed are women.
Two male hostages have been killed.
Police in Merseyside are stepping up their efforts to find witnesses to the killing of Rhys Jones.
A week after his death in a pub car park, officers are calling on anyone who knows the killer to find the courage to come forward.
Nelson Mandela is to attend the unveiling of a statue in his honour in Parliament Square in London.
It'll stand alongside Winston Churchill.
Scientists in Italy say they're working on developing a kind of Spiderman suit that would allow the wearer to scale vertical walls.
The key is a type of microscopic material that clings to smooth surfaces.
Professor Andrew Fisher is from University College London.
A couple that occurred to me reading the paper were maybe safety in the construction industry, where you have people working at great heights, not necessarily be secured, but also maybe in medicine and surgery, because the great thing about these adhesive forces is that they work without glues, without chemicals.
In six music sport, Liverpool and Rangers are both through to the group stage of the Champions League and the weather.
Some rain in Scotland and Northern Ireland, elsewhere dry with sunny spells.
Temperatures around 18 degrees Celsius.
And with six music news, here's Lucio Docherty.
It's BBC 6 Music.
Amy Winehouse's dad has revealed the extreme measures they've considered to help her get over her drug addiction.
As you heard on 6 Music yesterday, her in-laws have been talking very publicly about the best ways to help Amy, and have called on fans to boycott her records.
Speaking on BBC Breakfast this morning, Amy's dad Mitch said they've even discussed getting her committed, but it's not possible.
Sectioning under the Mental Health Act, we've talked about that.
This does not apply to drug abuse or drink abuse.
It only applies to bulimia or anorexia.
Or if somebody is in immediate harm, they might kill themselves immediately.
Elsewhere today, rock and roll pioneer Bo Diddley is recovering in hospital this morning after suffering a heart attack last night.
It follows a long spell of ill health for the 78-year-old following a stroke in May.

Ryan Adams with So Alive.
This is Adam and Joe on the BBC6 music breakfast show filling in for Shaun W. Keveny.
We've only got two and a bit shows left.
How do you know he's called Shaun W. Keveny?
Because somebody texted and said that he insists on being called W. Does he?
Is that not right, Jenny?
You work on his show, right?
He doesn't insist on it, but he can.
He doesn't?
I've been a fool.
I think his middle name begins with a W, doesn't he?
You're going to get in trouble with... I'm going to get in trouble with the keys.
Yeah, I tell you who else you're going to get in trouble with.
Who?
The newsroom.
Now, you might have heard that I referred to the newsreaders as Mickey and Luce.
I don't know if they liked that.
I'm trying to bring a bit of levity to serious news, but just now Lucy came into the studio.
She didn't look that happy about it.
I thought she looked lovely.
She looks lovely and she was talking about something else that I detected from her air that maybe... We were like trespassing on her territory.
Well, you know, they're serious journalists.
They're trained professionals.
She does the music news.
That doesn't matter, she's still a trained journalist.
That's not serious news.
Of course it is.
Nothing that ever happened in music ever affected the world in any important way.
Joe Cornish.
Said, said Stephen Boston, a journalist from America, in an article that I disagreed with.
It's time for a track from our album of the day by the Polyphonic Spree.
It's their new album.
It's called The Fragile Army.
This track is called Running Away.
We'll tell you a bit more about the Polyphonic Spree after we hear the track.
This is good stuff.
you
The polyphonic spree, the insane musical cult that it would be okay to have your kids kidnapped by.
Is that something you just made up?
Yeah.
Oh, that's very good.
Don't you think that's true?
That's not something that Tom Boston said in an article once.
No, wasn't it Simon Boston?
No, well, he might have.
He's a very perceptive journalist.
But if your kid was abducted by the polyphonic spree and taken to live in their camp and brainwashed and stuff, you wouldn't mind, would you really?
No, because the harmonies would just make your heart soar.
Exactly.
What if the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms
surrounded the polyphonic sprees camp like they did to David Koresh in Waco and attempted to throw gas canisters in and like raid them.
How would they respond?
Well they would sing about it wouldn't they?
They'd sing the FBI down and they'd
Exactly, they'd probably use ultrasonic audio waves in the same way that during sieges the FBI play like bad music to flush people out, the polyphonic spree would be able to send back equal and opposite audio waves.
They played These Boots Are Made For Walking by Nancy Sinatra.
Something over and over again during some sort of season.
It was either with David Koresh or it was with Gaddafi.
Someone like that.
Someone like that.
Anyway, that was from our album of the day, the Polyphonic Spree's album The Fragile Army.
That was a track called Running Away.
It's their third album.
And here are some facts.
What's the matter?
Don't you want the facts?
Are they real or are you just making these ones up?
No, they've been written down.
Oh, OK.
Tim De Laughter, is that his name?
Yeah.
Wrote the soundtrack for Mike Mills' 2005 film Thumbs Up.
What's funny about that?
Just when you read facts, it's... They sound unsubstantiated.
They sound like lies.
Hey, we just had an exciting incident here in the studio.
Mike, the newsreader, came up.
And he wasn't angry.
He was really nice.
He was fine about it.
And Lucy came up.
It's all like a big family here at the big British castle.
Yeah, yeah.
Everyone gets on fine.
Only a quarter of an hour left of the show, Joe Cornish.
Hey, I should just say that you can hear more tracks from that Polyphonic Spree album throughout the day here on 6music.
That's excellent.
Um, is there anyone in the hub today?
I like to... Yeah, there's a band called Mum.
Mum?
Yeah, who are they?
They're like a... Is he the electronics guy?
They're an Icelandic group.
Hey, I'm into Mum.
Have they got an accent over the U there?
Or is that just a... Mum.
Mum.
Are they like the people that make the, um, the, um, no, the classy puddings that come in little ceramic pots?
Oh.
Are they called Mum?
No, they're called goo.
I don't like those.
I don't like anything that's too, like, when you infantilize language like that.
What's the deal with putting a product in an actual proper bit of ceramic?
Do you know?
What about it?
It's good, isn't it?
Is it good?
Because you can use it again.
Yeah, it's a good thing.
Oh, for the environment, you mean?
I don't know, just generally.
Why do people do it?
Every now and then you get just a product that would normally be in a throwaway plastic carton, but it's in a proper bit of sort of earthenware.
added value added value they can charge a bit more something you can keep there's a little souvenir paper clips and every time every time you pop a paper clip in you can think oh i remember when i ate that chocolate pudding it was nice and now i can pop paper clips in it's all good now susie suit time
What in the world is happening?
What in the world could this be?
I'm on the verge of an awakening A new kind of strength for me I feel a force I've never felt before
it anymore.
Feeling so strong, can't be ignored.
I burst out, I'm transformed.
Rising up, shaking it off, the yesterday dream.
Graceful and strong,
Don't be surprised This change is mine
any more.
Feeling so strong can be ignored.
I burst, ouch, I transform.
I heal a force I've never felt before.
I can't hold it down, I've just got to go.
And laugh in the face that is both too low.
I burst, ouch, I transform.
I've never felt before I don't wanna fight it anymore Feeling so strong can't be ignored I burst out, I'm transformed
I burst out, I transform, I burst right out Into a swarm, swarm, swarm, swarm
This weekend SIX Music brings you The Record Producers The Producers Cut
First aired on Radio 2 over the bank holiday weekend, the program features new material looking in greater detail at the work of Holland, Dozier and Holland.
You'll hear the original multi-track recordings from some of their classic songs and a previously unheard version of Baby Love.
Barry Gordy rejects the original Baby Love.
He tells the Holland brothers, guys, it's not gonna happen.
If you would have heard the original track of that, you'd say, how did that came out to be when it came out to me?
The record producers.
The producers cut.
Saturday night from 9.30 on BBC6Music.
Doctor, Berry God has rejected the original Baby Love.
How would he?
Why did he do that?
Why?
It's clashing with his blood.
What?
We're trying to... I'm trying to make a kind of a medical analogy there.
Oh I see.
He's rejected it.
His body's rejected it.
Oh right.
Yeah.
Oh, God.
We've grown.
Yeah, I wasn't even on board for any part.
Just move on.
Move on.
Hey, this is element Joe on BBC six music.
We're coming into the last nine minutes of our show.
We've just been checking the results of the band aid face off, and it's not looking good for Adam Buxton.
Not looking good in the least.
We'll play you some clips before the end of the show just to remind you what the tracks are.
But I'm I've only got 18 votes for Jane's Brain, which is my track, a rock track, and it rocks.
Joe's got something like 31 for his ludicrous European supermarket.
Everyone wants to hear European supermarket.
Even the title makes people feel happy.
Yeah.
And it's all because of that sound.
It's not, man.
There's more to it than that.
It's not.
It's that sound.
All it takes is a sound.
The lyrics are amazing.
I swear.
All it took for that song, Believe by Cher, people bought that song.
I was one of them because they liked the little effect.
They liked the effect on her voice and they thought I'm going to buy it, I'm going to invest in that effect.
That's all they're doing.
Listeners, go to the Six Music website.
Click on Band Aid.
You'll hear a sample from my song and from Adam's song.
Vote for the one you like.
The sound of we'll play the full one on Friday.
If you want real songwriting craftsmanship, I think James Brain is the one for you.
I think European supermarket is what is the best.
Now I've got a free choice and this is by a beautiful lady.
She's called Emily Haynes.
She used to be in a band called Metric who were kind of hard rocking.
Well they said would you describe them as emo Jenny?
What?
Jenny was in another world.
She's reading things.
She's reading texts.
Emails.
I don't know if emo is right to describe.
Would you describe them as emo Jenny?
No.
No one would.
No she wouldn't.
No one would.
Stupid thing to say.
Why would you?
Who would?
I'd tell you who would.
I'd tell you who would.
You would Joe Cornish.
You're the kind of person that would describe them as emo.
Only an idiot would do that.
I personally wouldn't describe them.
I don't put things in boxes like that.
I don't like categories.
I hate them.
Emily Haynes has got an album out with her band The Soft Skeleton and it's apparently very good.
Well, I've got it.
Are you going to play it at any point?
Alright, this is a track called Doctor Blind.
My lack of light, hollow sea Poison beaches, limousines Toothless dentists, scarves that kill My baby's got lonesome lows Don't quite go away overnight Dark to blind, just prescribe the blue ones
If the dizzying highs don't subside overnight Doctor Blind, just prescribe the rest
Call to touch, roll to pieces Treat the rush, 9-7, prime time tone All your fable and you Let the dawn to soothe the rain
Just prescribe the blue ones If the dizzying highs don't subside overnight Doctor Blind, just prescribe the red ones
That was lovely.
It's good, isn't it?
Yeah, it's a very good album.
Emily Haynes and the Soft Skeleton.
That track is called Doctor Blind.
This is Adam and Joe here on BBC six music.

Mine goes.
Her name was Jane, she had a brain and it lived in her head.
She used her brain to think of things that she didn't have.
She'd think of food and she'd think of houses.
And it goes on a bit like that.
But it's really good.
Those are a cappella versions.
That's brilliant.
