Won't turn you away If you stick around Sure that we can find some common ground Sexuality Strong and warm and wild and free Sexuality Your laws do not apply to me A nuclear submarine sinks off the coast of Sweden
The red star belt ride He said that something's really best left unspoken But I prefer it all to be out of the open
Everybody hates me It lets me down most every time and night
You're playing with yourselves In half-currency hotels I look like Robert De Niro I drive a mix of fishy zeroes
In my opinion, sexuality should be, uh, repressed.
I agree, man.
You should be afraid of it.
Yeah.
Keep it all wrapped up.
Don't sing about it.
No, do it on your own.
You know?
In a dark cupboard.
Exactly.
They banned Relax by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.
They should have banned that.
I should have banned that, that's total filth.
I feel sick.
It's pure filth.
And afraid.
It's not even, it's barely 5 past 9 and he's... Imagine the kids listening.
Exactly, what are they gonna think?

No, it's going too far.
It brings disease.
Technically, that's true.
What a lovely morning, though.
My goodness.
This is the kind of morning you feel good to be alive.
Wouldn't you agree, Joe Cornish?
Yes.
Yeah.
I worry, though, when you talk about the morning, because I worry our non-London listening listeners will not be experiencing the same weather.
But I bet you right across the British Isles is chilly.
Between us listening friends, you know, you have to take it as read that we can only speak from our own experience here in London town and we're not forcing our London town views upon you or weather.
So, you know, we're just talking about what it's like here and it's a lovely morning.
Good to be alive.
You know, and I hope you're feeling happy and positive listening friends.
Not you, but you know, if you're a bit depressed this morning, then stick with us and we'll try and we'll do our best to, you know,
cheer you up and be your friend.
Maybe Harriet Harmon is listening.
She might, you know, she's had a bad week there and she might enjoy the show.
Why's she had a bad week?
She's been fiddling around with donations.
Oh, with donors.
Donors for the Labour Party.
Gordon, Gordon Brown.
He's had a tough week for Gordon Brown.
But he loves the show.

He loves listening to the show and this week he's really going to need it to make him feel that life's worth living.

What about some shambling babies?
I love the babies
You talk, you talk of your game I wish I could talk the same I know song is just a game I'm getting big and cheating at how you talk
I'd love to explain, I'd love to show your hand And all about, oh well I know, I know, I know I know it's all a show, and so, so what I suppose, but to go I never, ever said it was clever I'd just like it to let me in Let me feel alive, right behind you I, I, I, I did it

Like behind your eyes You talk, you talk a good game You talk, you talk a good game You talk, you talk a good game
Never ever said it was clever I just like getting level Looking for the
Excuse me, just having a little cough there at the end of the baby shambles.
That was written with Kate Moss apparently.
That's right, I wonder what bits she wrote.
I'm surprised there weren't more nose flutes.
And general tooting of wind instruments.
Tooting.
On that one.
I'm always amazed that he gets it together to do songs these days.
He's a thoroughly engaging chap, I think.
Have you flicked through his book?
Yeah.
I don't recommend anyone buy it, but it's worth popping into a bookshop and having a little leaf through that book.
It's all reprinted like actual photographs of his diary.
Yeah, it's the kind of book I warrant anyone could produce.
I think, you know, they say everyone's got a book in them, right?
I think everybody's got a book like that.
Everyone's got a little scrawly notebook in them.
Receipts, pocket fluff, anything.
Small chain, foreign coins, just stuff from the bottom of a drawer basically.
Practicing a signature.
Squirt a bit of blood on it.
You're there, you're home and dry.
Exactly.
Keqing, who was the publisher?
I can't remember.
I can't remember.
Um, Kurt Cobain's diary came out a few years ago.
He sort of set the mold in terms of sort of bottom of the drawer tap books.
And you know, they still refer to many parts of that diary as kind of amazing gospel truth.
Like he made a list of his favorite records in there.
And that is wheeled out on a regular basis in music magazines.
Oh, you should listen to this album.
It was in Kurt Cobain's scrawly list of his favorite albums that he wrote in his diary at one stage.
You know, anyway, it's interesting, though, to look at.
Were you not tempted at all to buy... No!
The Doc-ity book, no.
Pete's Bock?
Nah.
No, because... The Doc-Bock?
It'll be... It's surely heading for the bargain bins.
It'll be very cheap quite soon.
Listen, if you had to buy one, would you go for, uh, the Doc-Bock or Russell Brand's Bocky Wock booky wook?
What, if I just had to buy a book?
If I was forced into the situation of actually buying a book?
It might happen, man.
It might happen.
What's the choice?
It's the Russell Brand's Bookie Bookie book or the Pete Doherty book.
I'd go for the Doherty Bookie.
Would you?
Yeah, because it's got pictures.
Yeah.
Brand's actually written a series of words.
which has also been serialized already so you've probably read a bit of it it's an assault course for the eyes yeah yeah i prefer the pictures they're smoother to look at less less pointy that's true than the words yeah i love pictures hey you know you can text us at any point 64046 or email adamandjoe.6musicatbbc.co.uk coming up in a second the results of uh of song wars we're gonna do that now let's do that um after this next track next record hey this is one chosen by me uh this is a a little bit of kind of uh
sort of soul-y type thing.
It's one of my favorite artists.
This guy's as good as Al Green, I reckon.
Really?
That's high praise.
That's a big play.
This is called Excuse Me by Raphael Sadiq.
How about the possibility of you and I?
Lady, can we try?
Lady, say you're with it.
If you're not with it, then excuse me.

If you want to go, sugar, I can't make you love me.
Your mom says no, but there's one thing I'm certain of.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It'll be all right.
It'll be all right.
Say it loud.
It'll be OK.
It'll be OK.
Love's going to be all right.
This ain't nothing but a soul making love.
Oh, yeah.
That's bodele.
Play it, Ray.
It'll be all right.
Did he say Claire Rayner there at the end?
Yeah, he's talking about Claire Rayner.
She's offered him emotional, sexual and... Marital.
Support, yeah.
And that's allowed him... His music was very angry before he met Claire Rayner.
She was a lady.
Good fact.
Of her time, though, wasn't she?
Is she not a lady anymore?
No, she's not.
She's not a Wachowski brother?
She's a man.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
I forgot one of the Wachowskis had a little sex transition.
There you go.
Anyway, sorry, student ramble.
Let's deal with what's it called?
It's called Song Wars.
Are we gonna do a jingle?
Yeah.
Here we go.
the listener test so check it out yeah is that clear that is quite clear sets it all out pretty pretty plainly we are announcing the winner of last week's song wars this is how we're doing it at the moment folks uh later on in the show you'll hear our new compositions which you'll be able to vote for next week
But did you have trouble this week?
Yes.
So did I. Big trouble in Little China.
Let's talk about that later.
But anyway, let's find out who won.
Last week, we had to write songs that featured these three elements.
Sincerity of singing, or at least as close as me and Joe can get to sincerity, which isn't very close.
Whistling and we had to deal with... Is everything a joke to you?
Is everything a joke to you?
Is that what people say to you?
Can you not be serious about anything?
Who said that to you?
People, every now and then.
I can never tell if you're being sarcastic.
That's what people say to me a lot.
And the other one was, it had to be about climate change as well.
It had to deal with climate change.
And it had to have whistling.
yeah whistling sincerity and climate change yeah yeah yeah it was a killer combination it was a perfect storm it was fun man i we had we had some we have music tropes music tropes that's a good individual units of music yeah yeah anyway we both came up with pretty respectable tunes i reckon if i say so myself so let's see who you thought
had the best and we will hear the winner in a second but we won't hear the loser because it's brutal.
Oh well Adam I'm afraid I've won with 58% and you got 42 there.
Well that's close at least.
It is close it is very close.
I like close results.
It could have gone either way I was just looking through all the emails we've received during the week during that song.
and I was thinking it was looking bad for me.
I was coming across a lot of Buxton boats.
Yeah, that's sort of slightly kind of patronising of me.
Well, let's hear the winning song.
I'm a little bit gutted, obviously.
Don't worry, you shouldn't have too much trouble this week.
Oh, well you haven't heard mine yet.
This is my winning song.
It's called the Global Warming Song.
It's in the style of the kings of convenience kind of business.
The world is dying In a couple of years we will all be frying But don't worry about it It might not be true
I saw that documentary.
I saw that documentary.
I saw that documentary.
I saw that documentary.
I saw that documentary.
I saw that documentary.
A good thing or a bad thing The Kyoto Protocol is calling, calling, calling But the limits the government set are so low It's appalling, appalling, appalling
He's still rising And the polar bears feel pain
There we go.
That's last week's winning Song Wars song.
That's a worthy winner, man.
I take my hat off to you.
Thanks, man.
That's good, sincere singing there as well.
I mean, you can't, you couldn't just leave it sincere though, I noticed.
You had to have the little chatty bits just to... Well, Adam, that is representing the dual voices in many of our heads.
Balance.
You know, the intense worry.
And the fear that the sky might fall on our heads.
Absolutely.
And then the other voice going, probably won't.
Be alright.
And that's the dichotomy a lot of us find ourselves in, isn't it?
That's right.
Thanks for everybody who emailed in about those songs.
Couple of samples here.
We've had an email from MKS Drafting Limited.
I love MKS Drafting.
Yeah, they're one of the best drafting limiteds there is.
I do all my drafting with them.
Chaps, my vote goes to Joe, please.
Sounding like Turing Breaks at their best.
They will be papping themselves.
Turing Breaks.
Does that sound like Turing Breaks?
Bit of an insult to Turing Breaks.
Whereas Nathan from South London says I'd like to vote for Adam's song in this week's Song Wars, although I did enjoy both tracks I felt that Adam's was the most emotionally convincing and the theme was sincerity after all.
The line about the paper cup resonated with me especially as I drink tea at work three or four times a day.
What was the line about the paper cup?
Polar bears are dying just because we want a drink from a plastic cup actually it was.
Was it?
Yeah.
Paper cups alright mate.
But you've made this guy recycle his paper cup.
Yeah I mean you know.
Oh no he's bringing his own mug in.
Shouldn't be wasteful.
Yeah but your own mug is the best option surely.
Yeah.
Anyway there you go.
Song Wars from last week.
In the next hour we will be unveiling our new efforts.
Shall we tell people what they're about?
Well, the idea was that they'd be- we were talking about, uh, I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here last week.
Yeah, which I might have to chat about again in a second.
Yeah, um, and so we were going to write songs about it.
In fact, we have.
It doesn't feel like I have.
Well, it was sort of from the point of view of Joe as a non-watcher of the show and me as an avid fan.
Do you want to know what happened with my song or should we, we'll hold back on that?
Let's tell the story of how we did with those songs in the next hour.
But right now let's play some more music after this fantastic trail.
Stab a sorry heart With your favorite finger Paint the whole world blue And stop your tears from stinging Hear the cavemen singing Good news they're bringing
Swimming there so well Glad to see my face among them Kissing the tortoise shell A longing for some fresher feeling
Just forever kneeling Where's the sense in stealing Without the grace to be it Seven seas Swimming there so well Glad to see My face among them Kissing the tortoise ship
Burning my bridges and smashing my mirrors Turning to see if you're cowardly Burning the witches with motherly legends You'll strike the matches and shower me in War To games, watching the rocks below Taught and detained, and it's hard to flow
Swimming them so well Glad to see My face among them Kissing the tortoise ever since Swimming them so well
Glad to see my face among them, kissing the tortoise.
Seven seas, swimming there so well.
Glad to see my face among them, kissing the tortoise.
Yeah.
Not a good idea.
Tortoise kissing.
Very beaky.
Tiny, tiny little mouth.
He's just kissing the tortoise shell, though.
He's not actually snogging the tortoise.
Oh.
So that's okay.
That's Echo and the Bunnymen with Seven Seas from 1984 and their album Ocean Rain.
That was a big hit when we were at school.
Do you remember that, Joe?
Pass me by.
Did it?
I was too busy listening to the Thompson Twins.
Well, some of the, cause that was, it was the more approachable side of the Bunnymen.
You know, some of the hardcore Bunnymen fans thought they were selling out when Ocean Rain came out, but I loved it.
It was a really wonderful album.
And I heard it again the other day.
It sort of popped up on a shuffle on the pod, Joe.
And I went back and de-shuffled it and listened to the whole thing right the way through.
And ah, it's a peach, an absolute smash of an album.
That's all the hard lads used to like that one as well, the Bunnymen.
And I always used to think, well, there you go.
We can agree about that.
McCulloch the sincerity of McCulloch and at one point they were poised to be the biggest band in the world which is a strange thing to consider now it was either it was going to be either the Bunnymen or U2 poised for world domination and then for some reason the Bunnymen just took their foot off the gas and U2 just jammed it right on they're still legendary though oh yeah and in a way they might have a bit more integrity yeah I guess so U2
Well, I mean, U2 is not a band... You don't see them sponsoring cell phones?
No.
And that kind of thing?
Absolutely.
No, but I mean, they're in a different universe now, aren't they, U2?
In fact, they played a little impromptu acoustic thing at the Union Chapel, The Edge and Bono the other day.
Was it The Edge who played it with him?
And people were knocked out and they were like, wow, they're actually quite good.
You know what I mean?
You sort of forget that a band that big actually had something to say and were good at some point and probably still are, you know, but... You're very authoritative.
I am on time.
You should read the news.
I should read the news.
Like what Rachel Matthews is about to do.
She's gonna, she's gonna do the news reading.
We don't have music news today though, do we?
Oh man.
We do.
I mean, we've got it later on, but not right now because that's depressing though.
When you can't keep nothing's happened in music.
All musicians have just been sleeping.

No.

Mmm, sausages.
Delightful.
Hey, this is Adam and Joe here on BBC Six Music.
I'm holding up a piece of paper and looking at it as if it's going to tell me what's going to happen in this next link.
Well, you're going to tell me about, you mentioned you dropped the Morrissey racism route.
I haven't heard about that.
What's been going down?
Do you remember 15 years ago he was branded a racist?
Well, there's a big thing on Andrew Collins' blog about this whole thing and Andrew Collins is saying that he was one of the journalists at the NME 15 years ago who wrote an article about Morrissey
and the fact that he was skirting around certain racist or apparently racist issues in a song of his, particularly a song called Bengali and platforms.
Um, and he, Andrew Collins maintains that they never actually branded him a racist, but they were just saying like, what's he doing?
So he was never actually fully branded with a red hot brand with the word racist on his bottom.
No, that never actually happened.
The enemy would never do that.
They want to.
They've built the brand, and they've got the bucket of water.
The Russell brand.
And the coal fire.
Yeah.
But no, it never actually happened.
But still, the whole notion that Morrissey was a bit of a racist stuck, you know.
The enemy's assertion was that he shouldn't even be playing around with such sensitive issues, you know what I mean, in his songs.
So what's he done now?
So now after 15 years of not talking to the NME he's gone back and he's given them a new interview and almost immediately got back into the same problematic chatting about immigration this time and he's clearly not like someone who is a racist per se like you know what I mean he doesn't sort of go around.
What's he said?
Basically here are the offending bits in this interview the interviewer says you live in Italy now would you ever consider moving back to Britain?
Morrissey says, Britain's a terribly negative.
This is what Morrissey sounds like.
Is it?
Yeah.
And it hammers people down and it puts you back and it prevents, it pulls you back and it prevents you.
A lot of this is nonsense.
Britain's a terribly negative.
Anyway, also with the use with the issue of immigration It's very difficult because although I don't have anything against people from other countries the higher the influx into England the more British identity Disappears so the price is enormous if you travel to Germany, it's still absolutely Germany if you travel to Sweden It's still very Swedish in identity but travel to England and you have no idea where you are and
says Moser and then carries on in a in a similar vein basically sort of just saying it's a shame that there's some spurious notion of Englishness has been lost because of the influx of immigrants from... Well he's not making the problem any better by leaving you should come back and be British.
Exactly he's gone off and he lives in LA now and he enjoys being a ex-pat in lots of other countries in a way that he's you know he's probably polluting the
Los Angeles with his Morrisseyisms.
So what's the problem with that?
Sounds like a fuss about nothing to me.
It's a bit nutty.
It's a case of Morrissey being a bit thick about it and sort of worrying about things that aren't really worth worrying about and the enemy just being delighted to stir up another kind
People always say that though, don't they?
It's a kind of a received bit of wisdom about Britain is that we set people up and knock them down.
Elvis Costello was banging on about that as well the other day.
Did you read that?
Saying that it's just impossible to be successful in Britain.
He got in a big race row early on in his career.
Did he?
Yeah, he did.
Saying that British people hate success, we let people get to a certain level and then we knock them down.
Is that true?
Yes, that's true.
Who shall we knock down this week?
What about Leona Lewis?
Oh yeah.
She won the X Factor.
Yeah.
We should have a list of people to bring down.
Who else is too successful?
We're going to make our list and while we're making the list, we are going to play you some Jay-Z.
This is Rock Boys.
Thanks to the duffel bag, the brown paper bag, the Nike shoe box for holding all this cash.

That's Jay-Z, rock boys.
That's from his new album, the American Gangster album, tied into the Riddle Scott film.
Have you seen the Riddle Scott film?
No!
I keep mixed reports I keep being put off it because I keep reading people saying how it's like a lot of sound and fury but it doesn't really have any impact.
Charlie Brooker was writing saying that you know he sat there for two and a half hours and left feeling completely blank right right right that's a feeling one gets more and more in the cinema these days don't you feel
But no, I'm excited about seeing it.
And that's a return to form for Jay-Z there, according to the critics.
Riddles can make those films just to talk about Riddles again though.
Riddles is an old fella.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, he's in his 70s.
But particularly with Denzel as well.
He sometimes gives me that feeling, Washington.
Do you know what I mean?
Like, I watched Man on Fire and I came out of that feeling a bit blank as well.
He's got such a kind of set style now.
Not to say that just because you're in your 70s you can't make amazing, do amazing things and make amazing films.
Clunk Eastwood, for instance.
Clunk, he's a genius.
He's a septuagenarian genius.
And did you see the Russell Crowe one?
The Riddles one?
Yeah, Goodyear.
I did.
I love that film.
No.
Yeah, I really enjoyed it.
Really?
You know, in a stupid way.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I saw it and at the Empire Leicester Square sitting in the row behind me was John Prescott.
Was he?
Yeah looking seriously looking really grumpy.
For a change.
Looking like I just need looking like he just needed to escape to the south of France for some Russell Crowe style slapstick.
I wonder if he enjoyed it.
It's a stinker it's well worth checking out.
I will do.
Was that your choice the Jay-Z track though?
No, that was done automatically by the special people.
Well, listen, this is one that I've picked for you, listeners.
I know that a lot of Beat-A-Band fans listen to this show, so I hope you'll enjoy this one.
It won't be new to you, but it's from their Three EPs album, which, if you don't know the Beat-A-Band, is the one to start with.
And it's really a trippy, weird little track.
Is this the one with the ghost on it?
The ghost, do you remember?
We had supper with him one time.
The ghost?
No, Steve Mason.
Yeah, no, we went to the studio.
Yeah, but he came round for supper at my place.
He used to live around the corner.
Oh, right.
And he told me the story about what inspired this song, which is Dr. Baker.
And when he was, he suffered from depression for a long time and in one of his deepest moments, he got, he felt that he was being visited by a ghost that would tap on his window or something like that.
A ghost.
And he was truly terrified one evening.
And this song is inspired by that.
Isn't there an actual recording of, isn't in one of their songs, there's this actual recording of something spooky.
Oh, I don't know.
Maybe it's this one.
I don't know.
I can't remember.
But this is Dr. Baker by The Beta Band.
Dr. Baker phoned me in the morning Left a note, he's still yawning Dr. Baker phoned me in the morning Left a note, she couldn't make it How did she ever take a listen outside his head?
Dr Baker phoned me in the morning He couldn't understand, he was a busy man Tried to reach him again, played with him Please come, please come, please come Please come, please come, please

Go to Baker for me again later that day Said he cried and he really sounded odd His wife was dead and his dog was dead And misery planned inside his head I tried to reason with him, tried saying He said, no boy, you'll never listen Try it again, try it again Try it again, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead,

BBC 6 music.
I'll match the power of my ballads with anything Nirvana are doing.
Okay, so Sammy, any ideas?
Is it Barry White?
It's not Barry White.
Turn it down.
Is it Richard Marx?
Richard Marx, of hazard fame.
Yes, of hazard fame.
It's not sadly Richard Marx.
Web guru Rick Sharma.
John Bon Jovi.
It's not Bon Jovi either.
It is Barry Manilow.
Just to remind you, Nirvana sound a bit like this.
See it from his angle?
See the merchant?
These people have made the point before, it is a serving warning about the dangers of the Bermuda Triangle.
Tomorrow from 3.
On BBC 6 Music.
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!
Now we were a little bit wishy-washy about Text the Nation this week, folks, in that we're trying to get into the habit of telling you exactly what it's going to be like during the week posted on the website so that then you can send us in responses.
But we didn't really get it together.
It's been a busy week for myself and Joe, and we've been a bit lax on some of our feature duties.
But we can tell you now that we actually discussed that we might
be using this subject as a text the nation this week.
And I think we are going to ideas for horror films because Joe and myself feel that there's a little bit of a paucity of creativity in the horror film genre.
There's a crisis in the horror world.
Yeah, yeah, they're running out of ideas.
Yeah, exactly.
And you can tell that because they've used the shroom idea.
Mm hmm.
That's been held in reserve for several years for emergency moments.
And now they've pulled it out.
I haven't seen it.
Have you seen it?
No, I've seen a poster.
It's a good poster with a wood and the mushrooms have grown in the shape of our skull.
And presumably what's going to happen?
It's about crazy kids who do something that in no way do we recommend you ever do, which is mess with naughty
mushrooms it's very dangerous generally because you've you've got to have a firm knowledge of mushrooms generally they can be very dangerous that's true shouldn't mess with the mushies uh but and this is a horror film about some kids that do mess with the mushies and it makes their heads and probably their tummies go all wonky and they pay the price kind of thing um and the price ain't nice the price ain't nice no so we want you to come up with some better uh horror film ideas i had a horror film idea last week you might remember that
in the last seven days has become hideously inappropriate.
Oh really?
Due to the passing of Evil Knievel.
Oh yes that's right.
Last show I had an Evil Knievel based horror film idea and now that's become weirdly apposite.
Yes.
I can't repeat it can I?
No.
No.
But I did see a very good horror film earlier in the year that hasn't been released yet.
So you guys won't have seen it.
It's a Spanish horror film called The Orphanage.
it's got a brilliant bit in it though yeah okay and this is the kind of idea we're looking for it's about a woman and she was in an orphanage when she was little and she used to play uh grandmother's footsteps oh yes with the other kids you know she turned to face a wall and she'd do the counting or whatever it is and then she'd turn around good idea right good idea later she buys the same orphanage all deserted but haunted by ghosties oh no
And later in the film, she plays grandmother's footsteps but with the ghosties.
So every time she turns round, she's expecting to see a ghostie.
It's very good.
That's good.
It's very scary.
I thought you were going to say like, sometimes she turns around and her face is all like mashed up.
That's just... really?
Your face turns around, your face is all mashed up!
Is that enough for you?
Yes!
Just having a mashed up face.
You know, like at the beginning of the Twilight Zone, the movie, when he's playing peek-a-boo.
No, that's not a mashed up face, that's a werewolf face.
Yeah, it's all like a scary face.
A scary face.
No, that would be frightening the audience.
The Orphanage is a more sophisticated film in which the characters themselves feel fear, and therefore we vicariously feel fear.
They've got a master faith!
Yeah.
That to me is the difference between a good horror film and a bad one.
You know, the character's frightened, you're frightened for the character.
In a bad horror film, it's just been a loud noise.
Right.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah, exactly.
So we've had a couple of horror film ideas come in via the email during the week.
This is from Clash77.
No it's not, it's from Rob from Birmingham.
I got his street name mixed up with his real name.
It's how it is on the streets.
His idea is this, it's called Grass and it stars Danny Dyer.
Oh my lord, it's a good start.
So it's marketable.
It's doable.
I'm pretty sure that Dyer would say yes.
An East End gangster, played against type by Danny Dyer, is forced to hide in a safe house after shopping his gangland boss, played straight by Brian Connor Lee, belt wrongly, to the police.
Man, he's got all the casting ideas.
Little does he know the house was cursed by gypsies.
Oh no.
And the grass...
brackets, played by Andy Serkis, because he is the CGI actor king, close brackets, in the garden, grows out of control every time someone moves in, killing all who try to enter, but also not letting anyone leave.
Yours, Rob from Birmingham.
That's good, Rob from Birmingham.
That's good.
You know, M. Night Shawadiwadi is doing a film similar to that.
I think it's called the, is it called The Happening or something?
And it's all about plants that take revenge and kill people.
It starts with a picnic in the park and the people picnicking get killed by weeds.
Picnic park people.
Yeah.
So but that's really good Rob.
One more to whet your appetite.
You ready for one more?
Yes.
This is from Peter Green.
He emails us regularly, I do believe.
Thank you, Peter.
I wonder if it's the Peter Green from Fleetwood Mac.
I think it is.
That would be great, wouldn't it?
What about this idea?
It's loosely based on the thriller-stroke horror movie Scream, but is instead called Selene.
The movie features Selene Dion, who plays herself, and she is also the villain of the film.
Throughout the film, good-looking young people will stumble across Selene in places like behind the shower curtain, or in a queue for a cup of tea and a sticky bun.
and whenever they see her they fall backwards with fright and impale themselves on a sharp object and die a grisly leg twitching death while crying and saying things like I don't want to die and look there's Celine Dion.
That's more satire though that one isn't it that's not a sincere...
idea for a movie what are you reading there as he puts the last line perhaps you yes brackets adam and joe close brackets could make the film in the same way that a film was made within the film bow finger i.e celine wouldn't know you were making a film of her you might see her nipples
The last bit's got me really excited about the film.
There's potential there.
So listen, come up with your horror film ideas.
They don't have to be hugely involved.
They can be little one liners, or we love it if they are hugely involved, text them to 64046 or email them to adamandjoe.sixmusic at bbc.co.uk.
Now you chose this next session track, I believe, Joe Cornish, or at least you had a hand in it.
Yeah, no, I did choose it.
Yes.
Okay.
This is Edwin Edwin Collins, Edwin Edwin Collins.
It was recorded for Mark Radcliffe on radio one on the 19th of September 1994.
And this is a girl like you.
Joe's pick of the BBC archive.
I never met a girl like you before Now just like in a song from Days of Yore Here you come a knockin' knockin' on my door And I never known a girl like you before
Give me just the taste so I want more Now my hands are bleeding and my knees are long Cause now you got me crawling, crawling on the floor And I've never known a girl like you before
You made me acknowledge the devil in me I hope to God I'm talking metaphorically Hope that I'm talking allegorically Know that I'm talking about the way I feel And I never known a girl like you before Never, never, never, never Never known a girl like you before
This old town's changed so much Don't feel that I belong Too many border singers Not enough border songs And now you've come along Yes, you've come along
And I never know the girl like you before It's alright Yeah, it's alright Yeah, it's alright Yeah, it's alright Yeah, it's alright Yeah, it's alright Yeah, it's alright Yeah, it's alright Yeah, it's alright Yeah, it's alright Yeah, it's alright Don't talk and compromise He's got the necktie blues again He's just on 45's
I buy the games off win or lose These cakes are bags, these cakes are booze He took a powder for the plain A little candle in his brain
The kind of couch about your old time slogan he ran Steering, dreaming He's gonna occupy your mind He wants to occupy your mind He's gonna occupy your mind He's gonna occupy your mind
BBC 6 Music.
Got those hands that heal Help me get in touch with what I feel Cause you understand and you sympathize And you know me best is no surprise
You got those eyes that seem to help me find the good that's inside me.
Cause you're the only one who really knows how to feel it.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
What a frightful noise.
It's the Raconteurs.
That's their talented Brendan Benson with Jack White.
That's their little side project there.
And they've got a new album coming out shortly, don't they?
They've been busy, I think.
You know, it's ongoing.
It's a serious concern, the Raconteurs.
Hey, this is Adam and Joe here on BBC6 Music.
Joe, I imagine you were glued to your television set last night, watching Christopher Biggins become the king of the jungle.
No, I wasn't.
I was desperately, desperately trying to complete my Song Wars song.
Right, which was about... And it didn't occur to you to maybe bone up on the show a little bit to get some ideas?
No, I had a limited time window frame.
Right, yeah, fair enough.
Because I wanted to get some sleep.
Yeah.
Yeah, so I took the song over the show.
We're going to be playing you our I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here songs after the next piece of music.
But I'd just like to say that I feel a little embarrassed because I went off on one about Mark Bannerman.
You remember that last week, Joe?
I was talking about the fact that he was an amazingly real and visceral bit of TV when he came out, when he was voted out of the jungle and questioned by Ant and Dec and he was suddenly made aware of
the fact that he'd slightly gone overboard with his affections.
We've had an email in about it.
Right.
From Sunny in Bath.
I curiously share both your knowledge and Joe's loathing of I'm a Celebrity as my better half is a fan.
So I absorb a fair bit of it through a kind of reluctant osmosis.
I saw this bannerman on his way out of the jungle but cannot share your view of his obvious remorse and shame.
over his sugary harassment of once credible values pops to Keris Matthews.
Nicely put.
He seemed to me to be completely irreverent regarding the position he'd put his poor missus in.
Instead of any kind of apology or even a passable excuse, he chose to use this video soapbox to wax lyrical about how great Keris was and how close they'd become.
Who's that from?
That's from Sonny in Bath.
Well said, Sonny.
I think you might be right, you know, and we've talked before about the fact that I can be a little credulous.
And I think... You fell hook, line and sinker for Bannerman's act.
Well, because, you know, the thing is that during the week, the big news was that they all got letters sent to them, the people still in the camp, right?
And they were all read out on air.
And Keris got a letter, first of all, from her little children and her family and stuff.
And that was very sweet.
But that was followed up.
by a letter from Mark.
And it said, keep singing songbird, you're doing great or something.
I'll be there waiting for you when you get out if you want me to be.
Keep singing songbird.
My precious little princess.
I'll be there for you when you get out.
It was like that.
And so it was very exciting and Keras was clearly overwhelmed with joy, I would think.
uh so i was thinking wow there you go he's sorted things out like with his girlfriend i i guess maybe called it off with sarah his girlfriend he's going to fly back out there and welcome carris with open arms he wasn't there mate wasn't there when she got out no sign of the filthy rot basket from eastenders that is mark bannerman what's he doing what's he playing at
he's let me down, he's let Keris down, he's let my wife down, who was disappointed as well, and I just, you know.
Does your wife think he's quite sexy?
No, no, she wouldn't mind a slice of Jay from Five.
Really?
Yeah, a delicious slice of Jay, but she's not having any of Mark, certainly not.
Really?
So I felt a little cheated.
I'm imagining Jay from Five making love to your wife.
She is too.
But there you go.
Anyway, I'm glad about it.
Hang on a second.
What are they doing?
Don't do that!
Come on.
But I'm glad Biggin's won.
You know what I mean?
That's a good result.
He's like a good person, I think.
He's like a good person.
He appears similar to good people.
He does an excellent imitation of a good person.
But anyway, this week's Song Wars listeners are about I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.
We've both had a trying time with them.
We'd explain more after a bit more music.
Here's the Foo Fighters.
Their single comes out on Monday, I believe, and it's called Long Road to Ruin.
It's a peach!
Take a sound Say have you heard the news today?
One flag was taken down To raise another in its place A heavy cross you bear A stubborn heart remains unchanged No harm, no loss, no love No stranger singing near your name
Running through hell, having to wait No one to lose their in your eyes
Let's say we take this town No king or queen of any state Get up to shut it down Open the streets and raise the gates I know I want to scale I know I feel without a name Head on without a care Before it's way too late
Colors change in the valley skies.
Oh God, I've sealed my fate, running through hell.
Heaven can wait.
Long road to ruin, care in your eyes.
Under the cold street lights, no tomorrow night.
Before every piece to fall in place Forever gone without a trace Your horizon takes its shape No turning back, don't turn that page Come now, I'm even there tonight Come now, let's leave it all behind Is that the price you pay?
Running through hell, heaven can wait
It's time for songs Wars, the war of the songs
the listener test so check it out yeah song wars and song wars time yeah yeah yeah yeah uh this is the part of the show where we both compose a song on a theme and you the listeners get to decide which one's the better one it might be difficult for you this week uh because i haven't heard adams and he hasn't heard mine but we both agreed that we don't think we've well i i don't think i've done a very good job this week no i was in severe trouble i was in bad trouble
Yeah, I was in trouble time-wise.
I usually do my song on a Wednesday evening.
Right.
So I've got a bit of a window in case it's wrong.
This week did it last night.
Started about ten.
Oh, that's no good.
I know, finished about one.
I mean, that's not bad.
Three hours, that's alright.
Yeah, but wait till you hear it.
It's a mess.
I played it to my girlfriend.
She looked at me, she looked scared and confused.
She couldn't understand the words.
Couldn't understand the chorus.
Didn't think it really had a tune.
I rushed upstairs.
It was one, you know, we have to get up at like seven to get here.
I was trying to replace the beat, trying to make it work.
I'd made it so discordant and odd that nothing would fit.
I had like exam panic.
I haven't had that for years.
I had like a weird sickness feeling in my stomach.
Wow, you take it really seriously.
Well, I was panicking.
I thought, I don't want to let the listeners down.
No, good for you.
I take the listeners seriously.
I agree with you.
Because we're taking up valuable British, big British castle time.
Certainly.
Royal time.
Royal time.
You know, and I, you know, I'm worried.
Absolutely, you don't want to smack the listener in the face.
No, it's odd mine.
It's kind of like supposed to sound a little bit like African or fun boy three ish.
I was going down that same route.
Lucky you turned around from that route.
That kind of cricket noise sometimes.
Nothing as simple as that in mind.
Yeah, because I was thinking the lunatics have taken over the asylum.
I was thinking as well.
Do you know what I mean?
So what happened with yours?
Well, again, I started pretty late in the day and I went down a totally different route before just thinking, oh no, this is a disaster.
Really?
So you rejected one?
Backtracked, yeah.
And I had a good little rhyme going all about, I'm so happy in the jungle, I've lost a stone, or something like that.
Because I love the fact that it seems like, if you're a bit of a vain person, one of the fun things about watching I'm a Celebrity get me out of here is kind of fantasizing about
the experience as a kind of health camp.
Do you know what I mean?
They go in there, Biggins has lost over a stone.
He looks amazing.
When he came out of the jungle, listen, I'd do him, you know?
And he looks gorgeous.
But anyway, so I rejected that whole route and I've gone down a different thing entirely, but I was panicking to such a degree that I was going to bring my guitar in and just freestyle.
That thought crossed my mind as well.
Yeah.
Well, it'd be interesting to see what we've both done then.
Who should I go first this week?
Yeah.
Okay.
I'll go first.
This is my... So should we just make it clear again?
These are songs about I'm a celebrity, get me out of here.
Mine from the point of view of an avid fan, Joe from the point of view of someone who never really watches it.
And this is mine, Adam's, right now.
It'll be fun.
I'll fly to Australia.
Live in the jungle with some stars on the way.
Then when I'm done I'll no longer be a failure I'll fly back to England and be famous again First three days in the jungle and I'm so glad that I came Everyone at home said I was mad to do it Just for the sake of being famous again But it ended too fast the first time round I want another nibble on the cherry And when people see the real me They're gonna like me very The only problem is the others
Day five things are going badly Cos it's all about the yank with the gob Or the girl with the knockers or the ex-glam rockers How am I expected to do my job?
I ain't getting picked for no bush tucker trials I spend all my time just moping It just ain't fair, I'm wasted in there And now the phone lines are open I was voted out first I didn't even get a chance to prove
This program's the worst They make me look like a boring git And if I am remembered it will be for being crap No it wasn't fun I flew to Australia I lived in the jungle and it drove me insane And I got ignored This whole thing's been a failure I'm flying back to England and nobody again
Well, that's better than I expected.
That was good.
Thanks, man.
You used the same little noise I used for Song for Jack Miller, I think.
Are you aware of that?
Yeah, well, in case you hadn't guessed, folks, we use GarageBand a lot.
GarageBand.
GarageBand.
and we're pretty much running out of samples.
GarageBand is like the production tool du jour at the moment, because it's all cleared samples in there.
So pretty much every show that's coming out on TV next year as well is going to have just GarageBand all over it.
We better download some new samples, so it's the loops.
Shall we have a listen to yours now?
If we must.
So this is in the style of Fumboy 3.
It's about I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Fear that I don't really watch.
And there's a couple of things that I need to make clear before you attempt to make sense of the following noises.
Qualifications.
Yeah.
Right.
So the acronym for I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Fear is
Iacamoo.
Yeah?
I-A-C-G-M-O-O-H.
Iacamoo.
Iacamoo.
Iacamoo.
Iacamoo.
Iacamoo.
Right?
Yeah?
Right?
Okay, here we go.
And then I've just got to explain what the words of the chorus are!
The words of the chorus are something that I've even forgotten what they are, but it's something along the lines of, I don't watch it, I've got better things to do.
Iacamoo.
Iacamoo.
I do not watch it, I've got better things to do.
Okay?
But that...
why are you laughing so much but because that is uh done in a kind of funboy 3 sort of way it's slightly incomprehensible right yeah come on yeah come on i do not watch it i got better things to do okay okay yeah
Every flippin' year People eating spiders I do not care I care more for the spiders Than the celebrities Say we'd shit off And you will leave, that is not true I'm very fond of Charis Matthews Am I in class when she's almost nude?
Very nice.
Be likable.
You will find they get treated by vets There's no disease, no celebrity gets Seriously ill How many times do I have to seize Celebrities, eating testes Try something new, please ITV Thanks a lot
And I cannot help but sit and watch it But afterwards I feel like, rubbish The camera crew are always there There's a 6 hour hotel just up the stair They get 25 grand just to appear, allegedly Here I come home, here I come home I do not watch it, I've got better news to do Here I come home, here I come home At least I watch it a lot less than you
that's good man for a man though yeah that's better than you were making it out to be it's odd we used the same sample there that kind of bjork style jungle drum yeah did we yeah yeah well so there you go there are the two songs uh you can vote adam or joe uh if you want you can just vote for your the one you like
uh... the most you know you don't have to be saying that you actually like either of them yeah but the one that you find the most tolerable uh... text six four zero four six the one you're least offended by it yeah text ad or joe and you know we'll maybe we should think of a different competition and do song wars on alternate weeks or something i think in the new year we might have to because it's uh... we've already written an album you know it's not a very good album it's a short album but uh... no it's it's twelve songs man really but they're short songs
Some of them are short songs, but you know, it's not bad.
The Ramones, Jerry Lewis, the Pixies, they used to do one and a half minute songs.
It's an acceptable trope.
So there we go, text 64046, vote Adam or Joe, and we'll announce who's in the lead at the end of this show.
And then the true winner will be, can you believe it, played again in its entirety at the beginning of next week's show.
There's something to look forward to.
Now here is the winsome sound of the Sundays with Here's Where the Story Ends.
And I can see how people look down They're on the inside
Worrying me, showing my good side Like you see how people look down, I'm on the edge
It's that little souvenir of a terrible year, which makes my eyes feel sore.
Oh, I'll never see this light, it makes me too red for all I love.
It's that little souvenir of a terrible year Which makes me wonder why The list of memories that you shared Will make me turn red So far, so far, so far Lazy and now, this is our girl Make me feel so tired
You can see how people look down on the outside And it's where the story ends And it's where
It's that little souvenir Of a terrible year This makes my eyes feel sore And whoever would've thought The most you brought Were all I loved before Oh, the devil in me said Go down to the shed I know you're wrong
Everything I ever really wanted to say Was wrong, was wrong, was wrong It's that little souvenir of a California Which makes me smile inside So I cynical, cynical inside Well, in that way, surprise, surprise
It's the Sundays here on BBC 6 Music.
This is Adam and Joe.
We're midway through our exciting regular Saturday morning slot here at the Big British Castle.
Thanks for listening and stuff.
Sorry, can you not say slot?
Sorry.
Yeah.
You've recently... There's, well, there's been a letter sent round to everyone.
About slots.
Can't really say slot.
Oli on the motorway has texted, we don't usually read this out this sort of kind of casual radio style text but he says haven't heard that song in yonks cheers lads for helping brighten up an otherwise depressing and chilly mega bus journey from Chester to London.
Now do you know about the mega bus Adam?
Megabus is very big with young people, because it's a really, really cheap coach service.
And you'll see its adverts around the place, you'll see its buses.
They're distinguished by a painting of a big chap who's like the Megabus mascot.
He's a big, fat, round-faced man with a little hat on and a bow tie and a kind of Megabus uniform.
But he's not very confidence-inspiring.
No.
The idea that that man who's painted on the side of the Megabus would be driving the Megabus
is not confidence-inspiring.
This isn't true, obviously Megabus are an entirely reputable company, but I always think that, you know, if that big, retuned, drunk-looking chap was actually, you know, running that company, and it's a bit suspicious that he's only charging like a fiver to go halfway across the country, I'd just have the atmosphere of a death trap.
The bus itself is not mega though, right?
It's not like- No, it's just, you know, like a mega breakfast.
It's just
one of those words to stick up to something.
I would like it if they'd have to build special motorways and everything to accommodate them but like a massive giant bus, giant plane.
In fact the word mega is usually inverse isn't it?
It's used to denote something that is actually really bad.
Is it?
Yeah that's the end.

The PM's expected to say the government must act decisively to reform party funding, including Labour's own link with the trade unions.
Culture Secretary James Pannell.
Clearly we need to consult with the trade unions and with the parliamentary Labour party about it, but it's an issue that needs to be tackled.
As I say, it's one which has affected all political parties for many years and it needs to be addressed.

This is Adam and Joe on BBC6 music.
Happy Saturday morning.
The Christmas period, festive period, December period officially beginning.
Advent calendars popping open.
Little choccy nuggets popping out.
Have you got an advent calendar?
No.
No.
It's time to get the decos ready and all that business.
Can you imagine what, do you think if you get like, if you become very wealthy and powerful you just have insane advent calendars like, what's his name, Hugh Hefner?
He would have 25 ladies in a big kind of box.
So sort of a lady calendar.
Lady calendar and he'd pop open, hello number three.
Hi Hugh, happy 3rd of December.
advent sort of prozzies well if you put it like that it wouldn't be very nice and what they'd be sort of locked in a hatch yeah what about the christmas day one well the christmas that wouldn't be very nice because she'd have soiled the box no because uh it just just like the real cheek you would get a bit of a festive stench listen i've thought it all through just like real advent calendars the point is the chocolate's
The rooms would get bigger and bigger, you see, so they'd have more supplies.
The closer you got, because yeah, the Christmas Day one, she's going to be in there for a month, more or less.
She's eaten all the stuff as well.
Hugh, I don't know.
It is quite Christmassy, because Hugh, on Christmas Day, Hugh goes, I don't think so.
You just go home, honey.
She comes out, and she's had no exercise for a month, so she's just really lardy.
What a sordid business Christmas would be if you had control over it.
Horrible, horrible thought.
Yeah.
Anyway, we digress.
Let's read out some texts for our Text the Nation thing, whatever it is.
Text the Nation this week, the government have asked us to ask you, the public, about ideas for revitalising the horror film industry, which seems to have basically run out of ideas.
We've had one or two good ones in, but first of all,
Adam, have you had any ideas?
Well, I've had a couple of ideas.
These are not ideas for fully formed films.
They're just ideas of like thematically and maybe a couple of scenes.
It's good.
We'll take anything.
What have you got?
All right.
So I was thinking my logic was, you know, the most horrific thing that you can imagine, right, is things to do with things you love and things you want to protect, right?
The obvious being babies and children.
So if you have a little baby and child horror in there, obviously nothing too absolutely awful.
But I was thinking baby monitors, right?
That's got to be a good source.
I like that already.
That's a good title, baby monitor.
So you're listening to the baby monitor.
There's a scene where the couple, their new baby, they're listening to the baby gurgling on the baby monitor and then suddenly the gurgling goes low.
that's really good and then they rush upstairs then he goes silent and then you just hear what's happening so it's like has something got in there or is the baby turned into something so they go up there and they're half thinking oh my god there's an animal in there and and then maybe the husband or maybe the wife who's got a bit of postnatal depression and she's thinking i don't think you should go in there i think baby's turned into something i don't know anyway it's something like that
That's good, man.
An alternative version of that a bit earlier on in the process would be when they're at the hospital and they're getting the ultrasound, right?
And so they're listening to the baby's heartbeat, always a very emotional moment for a couple expecting their first child.
And then suddenly you hear, get out.
Get me out.
Do you know what I mean?
First of all, it starts garbled.
The baby's possessed.
The ultrasound is picking up the baby's... picking... inside.
This is a good route to go down, though, because technology is always... we fear technology.
Yeah.
And make it evil and ka-ching.
But what could be worse than the enemy within, especially, you know... Well said, Adam.
Baby should be a happy time.
But you've made it sad!
That made it horrific!
Because I was thinking, I was thinking it's about time they had a sat-nav horror film.
Right?
I don't know quite what it would be, but it would be a possessed sat-nav and it would direct you to a horrible place.
Terrible place!
Where something nasty would happen.
Yes.
And then it would go ha ha ha ha ha ha.
When you died, they had a pretty much every permutation of the sat-nav is being done elsewhere.
There was a sat-nav joke on Armstrong and Miller last night.
Everyone's doing a sat-nav thing and now we've done one.
Here's a good one from Richard Foster that's come in via email.
His idea for a horror film is called 28 Seconds Later.
A man wakes up in hospital, can't find anybody for 28 seconds, then he finds everyone.
Hmm.
So it's not very, yeah.
It's quite good because moments of terror, you know, temporary panic when you're lost or you can't find people.
I think that's quite good.
Well, he could sort of do an existential skew on it and expand those 28 seconds into a whole kind of lifetime somehow.
What I like about it is if the film is only, say, 45 seconds, then you can up the number of screenings per day, still charge a full price and very profitable.
A sound business.
Here's another one from Tim in Adelaide, Australia.
No.
Yeah.
He says, dear Adam and Joe.
He actually says, hi, Adam and Joe.
He probably says, good day, doesn't he?
Good day, Adam and Joe.
Yeah.
Sorry.
My horror film would be titled Mere Window.
All right, like Rear Window, but Mere Window.
A wheelchair-bound astronaut confined to observational duties due to his disability uses a super-powered telescope attached to the space station to spy on the people of Earth.
I like it.
Convinced that he's witnessed a gruesome murder, the astronaut schemes to drop part of the space station onto the killer.
That's good because rear window kind of pivots around the proximity of the witness to the incident.
Here there's a vast distance between the two and the rest of rear window depends on the killer getting into wheelie man's flat and vice versa so much more difficult.
for the two parties to meet in that one, which is dramatically interesting.
That's lovely.
Well listen, keep those ideas coming in folks.
We'll wrap up Text-A-Nation towards the end of this hour and of course remind you of Song Wars in the next hour, but still we have so much more to ramble and chat about and great music too.
Now here is Foals with a track called Balloons.
Enjoy!
More live music, live in the Six Music Hub.
In session on Tuesday, Chewin' Breaks.
Chewin' Breaks, live in the Six Music Hub with George Lamb, Tuesday morning after 11.30.
The Hub, the home of live music on Six Music.
Yeah, live music's always hanging out there.
And it just doesn't really clear up after itself a lot of the time.
Really?
Makes a terrible mess.
Just treats the hub like a hotel.
Really?
And then off live music goes.
The hub's getting sick of it.
The hub is absolutely sick.
The hub wants just some people reading audiobooks in there.
Yeah, exactly.
What would be so wrong with that?
Yeah.
Do you want to hear a little story, Joe Cornish?
Yes, I do.
Now, I may have told you, Joe Cornish, this story before, but I'm not sure I've told our radio listeners.
And this is a story which involves me behaving in a kind of psychopathic way due to the adverse effects of
Your genetic background.
Various intoxicants, yeah.
This was a long time ago, I hasten to add as well, because I would never touch so much as a drop of wine these days.
But I, a long time ago, hung out with a former royal ballet star, a contemporary of Darcy Bussles even, and he is now in Holby City occasionally.
He's an actor called Jeremy Sheffield.
Do you know him?
Yeah, I hung out with him as well.
Yeah, exactly.
He's a nice guy.
This was many years ago.
Yeah, yeah.
He's really, he was a really nice chap anyway, so we got on quite well.
And then he came and sort of hung out with me at work one time.
I was DJing at the time in this mad restaurant in the West End and he came and visited me and it was nice to see him.
and then we didn't see each other for a long time he was very busy but we bumped into each other in Carnaby Street one time and this was after his acting career had started in earnest one time and he was very busy one time and he was clearly on his way somewhere he had somewhere to be and.
So he wasn't really in the mood for a kind of conversation.
Do you know what I mean?
Like sometimes if you're just on your way somewhere you're focused on that and then you bump into someone that... Sure, difficult social situation.
You have a little awkward conversation.
So we had really quite an awkward little chat there on on Carnaby Street and I felt like we both probably walked away sort of slightly wincing a little bit just thinking I didn't go that well.
Probably him more than you.
Probably, I don't know, who knows.
So uh...
few months passed and and one time I was coming from our friend Mark's house and I was one time I was cycling across the Kings Road of a little tiny little bit tutti and I saw out the corner of my there's Jeremy Sheffield right walking down the Kings Road so but at that moment as I saw him he saw me right but only for a split second and
and he ducked down an alley.
He didn't want the same thing to happen twice.
He was not in the mood for another.
Let's circumvent that situation, he thought.
Yeah.
And he didn't, he thought that, oh, he hasn't seen me.
I'm just going to duck down this alley.
Avoid Buxton entirely.
Avoid, you know, because I'm not in the mood.
But he knew you'd seen him.
He didn't know.
Didn't he?
No.
Didn't your eyes meet?
Well, only for a split second and because I was on my bike.
When human eyes meet, there's no denying that contact.
Uh, he, I think he obviously thought that maybe I hadn't seen because he ducked down the alley.
And, uh, but in that moment I was just, I became enraged.
Do you know what I mean?
That's him.
Yeah.
I just thought, what you got down the alley in order to avoid what may have been an awkward conversation, but nevertheless, a conversation.
So you pursued him.
So I cycled down the alley after him.
You idiot.
not thinking I would say that that's happened to me quite often I know you haven't quite finished but no sometimes you'll pass someone in the street you recognize and you your eyes will meet but you will have a little psychic package package package package exchange right like what computers do saying let's just not bother
Yes, exactly.
Do you know what I mean?
And you'll just pretend you haven't recognised each other and walk on.
That's right.
That's what should have happened in the Sheffield situation.
Of course, but because my brain wasn't functioning properly, none of those circuits connected and I just... You chased him.
I chased him.
You had it out.
And so I went down there and as I arrived at the opening of the alley, he was emerging thinking that the coast was clear.
So he bumps into me, poor old Jeremy Sheffield.
And there I am standing there going, Hello!
And I, and I had a really mad, starey-eyed conversation with him saying, Hey, how you doing?
You know what I mean?
Because I hadn't really thought the whole thing through, obviously.
I didn't know what I was going to say.
What was on my mind was like, Hey, why did you avoid me?
But instead I was just saying, so how's things going?
And he looked quite freaked out.
What was the subtext of your tone?
The subtext of... How dare you deny me?
Yeah.
How, what are you, what are you playing at?
Am I so awful?
What's the deal?
What have I done to you?
Well, it was just excruciatingly awkward.
And then we parted company and off I went just thinking, I'm a nutcase.
Now this was about 15 to 20 years ago.
Yeah, but ever since then, I keep bumping into him all over the shop.
It's like there's some weird sort of unfinished business.
It's like you should be friends.
Fate has said you should be friends but you both are trying to resist it.
But it's always a little awkward because he's never fully resolved the awkwardness of that moment and it might be that the whole thing poisoned him quite reasonably against him, you know what I mean?
So his heart probably sinks every time he sees me.
I don't mind us.
It's like Jacob's laddie, you know, it's like the wobbly demons.
He's everywhere!
Really?
Wherever I go, and until I make peace with him, we're gonna bump into each other for... You need some kind of social exorcist.
Yeah, we really do.
I just had to exercise that.
Are you hoping he's listening to this?
Secretly?
Someone who knows him might be listening.
Might pass this on.
Yeah.
Well, there we go.
We're gonna play some more music now, but was that a smooth enough segue?
Yeah, that was nice.
In fact, we're gonna play some Martin Gaye.
This is from Martin Gaye's Greatest Hits songs.
Did you know, listeners, that Marvin Gaye put the E on the end of his name because he was paranoid that people would think he was gay?
That's right, he did, didn't he?
Isn't that a lovely little story?
That was a bit unnecessary, though, isn't it?
You know, the greatest voice, one of the greatest talents in the history of music.
Yeah.
just a little nervous little shy socially paranoid mouse that's all he was uh this is called where are we going it's a good question where are we going uh i'm i'm just going home after this all right let's find out where marvin's going
Watch the
With all that's going on, where are we getting?
Day in, day out A little boy and girl go down Day by day, babies, babies are born Day by day, people say right on
Oh, oh, what's the future show?

With all that's growing
Marvin Gaye there with Where Are We Going, that's a lovely song.
Now, New Year's Eve, plans for New Year's Eve?
Adam, it's a difficult time, you know, you're exhausted socially from Christmas and all that business, and suddenly you've got to pull another big social event out of the bag.

I'm excited about that.
I've got some friends going to come along.

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!
It's text the nation, the nation's favorite segment, feature item on a radio program.
Isn't that true?
It's absolutely true.
That's true.
That's 100% true.
100% true and it's won about 15 awards.
What, this segment?
This segment has won 15 awards.
Really?
Adam and me are constantly at awards ceremonies.
Always at awards ceremonies.
And it's been nominated
for over 25 awards and we turned a lot of them down.
Because we couldn't be bothered to go and pick the awards up.
The Text the Nation subject this week is horror films ideas for re-energising the horror film industry.
Adam was just saying that he's bought, have you bought 1408?
Yes.
And you're all excited about it.
I bought it because I heard you talking about it and you said, oh, I watched the first 20 minutes and it was so good that I thought I can't watch, I can't waste it now.
I'm going to save it for a day when I can really appreciate it.
So I thought, oh, there's 1408, the one that Joe loved so much he had to put off watching it.
And now he's just told me, yeah, it's good for 15 minutes and then it goes rubbish.
Well, I didn't know that, did I?
It's a very deceptive film.
It's really good at the beginning.
I bought it on import.
I don't want to spoil it for anybody.
£20 or something.
But can I tell you the worst thing about it?
What?
Is when the ghosts appear.
I'm not spoiling it, listeners, I'm spoiling a tiny corner of it.
When the ghosts appear, they're like tele-ghosts.
And they've got static rolling across their bodies.
Oh no.
But that's not scary.
No.
What's scary about being a tele-ghost?
Well that's like... Because they're from the 50s, so they're like old 50s tele.
That's like Pleasantville or something, or something out of Minority Report, the holograms.
I think there should be a law in horror films to ban CGI.
I think they should do it.
One of the scariest moments in any film is in the original Poltergeist when they do it all in one shot when she comes away from the kitchen table and she does something on the sideboard and when she comes back all the chairs are stacked on the table.
Do you remember that?
Absolutely.
And that's purely in camera.
That's practical.
Yeah.
They kind of whisk the old table out and lower a new one in or something really fast.
Brilliant.
Very effective.
Keep it all practical, yeah?
So thanks to everybody who's texted and emailed for this.
Both of you?
Both.
No, we've had a... I'm joking.
I'm joking.
Quantity's not the problem.
Only joking.
But you know this, but from the response to this text the nation, it may be that horror is indeed dead.
Nothing frightens people.
anymore the real world is frightening enough hey that's a very yeah you know I was thinking about this there's something in Terracell right what's Terracell the name just as the name of a horror film Terracell something Terracell and it's about instead of zombies you've got people kind of being brainwashed by extremist groups yes you know and trying to spread their dirty words
That's good, you keep working on that.
Here's one from David Aylcock?
Ali... I don't know.
I've said that as best I can.
Good morning to you both.
How about this for an idea for a horror flick?
Two radio DJs.
What are you laughing at?
I'm laughing at that as the best you could say.
What's his name?
Aylcock?
Aylcock?
A-L-E-C-O-C-K.
Aylcock.
You'd be a better news reader than I am.
Hell cock!
It just gave me an excuse to say that!
Sorry, David, it's very juvenile.
Two radio DJs create two songs with hidden subliminal messages.
You see, this is an idea that could tie in with this show.
When they're played back to back, these signals are released and make listeners perform random, grisly and in-necessary surgery.
Not unnecessary, in-necessary surgery on themselves.
Oh, that's the auto-surgery we were talking about last week, yeah.
There you go.
That's tying everything in together.
Nice.
Do you think that's a good idea?
That's good.
It's a little bit like
Is it Halloween 4 Season of the Witch where the TV show has a message?
Something like that.
That's a confusing film, isn't it, to do with... Oh, isn't it like toy pumpkins that have got... Right, right.
...a weird chip in them or something?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Now, this is an idea that chimes with one of my ideas.
It's from Claire Bradbury.
She was actually responding to us talking about ghosts earlier.
So this is indicative of the response we've had for Text the Nation.
I'm actually having to shoehorn a non-Text the Nation email in.
But she said we mentioned ghosts earlier one plate when we played the beta band track She said it's very foggy here and as we were driving to school with her four-year-old He the four-year-old suggested that the mist was like clouds on the ground But the little girl said no, it's like a giant ghost.
We're driving through a giant ghost.
Well, that's like the fog isn't it?
It's a bit like the fog but one of my theories is that I think scientists should investigate is that wind is ghosts and
Is it?
There you go.
That wind is actually the spirits of the dead, but they're completely invisible, but you can feel them, they blow against you and rustle the trees.
One day a scientist will make this clear, you know, will discover this, they'll activate some kind of thing in the air, and just ghosts will be everywhere.
Right, they'll adjust the frequency of the wind and then you'll be able to hear what the wind is saying.
And the weather report will just turn into, there's a strong current of evil demons,
that will be blowing through the north of England this morning.
Do you know?
Yes, exactly.
Isn't that feasible?
I would say that's 100% feasible.
Yeah.
There's a song by King Crimson called I Talk to the Wind, which seems to be about that.
Might bring it in next week for you folks.
Be exciting for you, won't it?
yeah have you got one more there to wrap up text the nation this week joe no no i'm just flicking through them no insult to the people who sent the ideas thank you but we have a very high quality threshold that's true uh on this program so that's it for text the nation thank you very much indeed for uh sending us your ideas there uh right now here's some more music for you this is queens of the stone age
I just can't recall what started off or how to begin the end I ain't here to break ya, just see how far it will
Sometimes the same is different, mostly it's the same These mysteries of life, that just ain't my thing If I told you that I knew about the sun and the moon
Anytime anywhere
good, isn't it?
That's the Queens of the Stone Age make it wit chew.
And sounds a little bit like come together by the Beatles as well there in a good way, I suppose.
Now, I've got a track coming up that I picked for you listeners and it's a musical swerve, which might turn some of you off.
because i know you like uh... indy pop in the soul and that kind of thing but i doubt that many of you are into your uh... trab jazz but it's just a guess maybe there's a a big secret cash of trab jazz fans out there in the six music fraternity this is a track by louis armstrong i'm gonna play you in a second and uh... i was inspired to buy this because of uh... the woody allen film manhattan uh... because i'm not massive jazz fan myself really although i do really like louis armstrong
But you know, if you're familiar with the film Manhattan, which I imagine many of you will be, you'll remember the scene at the end where Woody Allen, a little bit depressed, is talking into his dictaphone and he's talking about an idea for a movie and he's sort of saying, you know, idea for a movie, group of neurotic people in New York obsess about their neuroses as a way of
Dealing with the unmentionable and more terrifying aspects of life, but got to make it positive What makes life worth living and I've done a little clip of that moment just to remind you So here's Woody's list of things that make life worth living.
All right, why is life worth living?
That's very good question
Well, there are certain things, I guess, that make it worthwhile.
Like what?
Okay, for me?
Oh, I would say, what, Groucho Marx?
To name one thing.
And Willie Mays, and the second movement of the Jupiter Symphony.
And Louis Armstrong, recording of Potato Head Blues.
Swedish movies, naturally.
Sentimental Education by Flaubert.
Marlon Brando, Frank Sinatra.
Those incredible Apples and Pears by Cezanne.
The Crabs at Sam Wo's.
Tracy's face.
And it's a heartbreaking moment there.
Is it Tracy's face?
Tracy's face.
Yeah.
What's the resonance of that?
Because it's Mariel Hemingway, the extremely underage.
Terribly underage girl.
Mariel Hemingway that he's in love with in this film.
And he's sort of broken up with her because he knows that it's not a relationship that he should be involved with really.
Well things were different then.
Things in those days.
I mean she's not underage in the film technically I don't think.
But still she's much too young to be going out with him.
and of course that had resonances in his own life later on but in the film it's really sad and he breaks up because he knows that it's the right thing to do but he just and she's very upset and he can't he can't bear to think that he's just cast her aside so when he's thinking about the things that make life worth living her face pops back in his mind and he runs after her to say please don't don't don't leave because she's going off to study abroad and he's saying come on we can make this work and
But she knows that it's the right thing to do.
She goes off.
It's an amazing moment.
Anyway, that list of things that make life worth living.
I thought, I've got to investigate it.
You know, I love Woody Allen.
I love this film.
And I didn't know anything about any of those people when I first... So you're going out with a terribly underage girl?
Yeah.
So this is what I'm working around to.
No, I'm not.
I'm happily married to an over-aged girl, but I did think, well, I'm going to investigate some of the things in his list, you know what I mean?
Willie Mays, the baseball player, I couldn't really care about baseball, so I thought I won't start there.
Groucho Marx, I've yet to investigate properly, do you know what I mean?
They're good, you get the right Marx Brothers films, they're amazing.
Yeah, yeah.
What do you start with?
Duck Soup, I suppose.
Maybe, yeah, either of those.
Second movement of the Jupiter Symphony.
We were talking about this earlier.
Our producer Jude says it's great.
You know, it's still too early for me and Joe to investigate classical music too deeply, I feel.
There's too much silly indie pop.
I like it if it's been in films.
Yes, exactly.
Marlon Brando, of course.
Well, he's good.
You know, you can't beat the island of Dr. Moreau.
So I'm with Woody on that one.
Frank Sinatra.
Yeah, you know, Frank in small doses is pretty good.
I'm not like a massive Frank Sinatra fan.
But I thought I'm going to go for the crabs at Sam Woe's.
I wouldn't know.
That's just a dish at a restaurant.
It may have closed by now.
Who knows?
Yeah.
If you've had crabs at Sam Woe's out there listener, then let us know what they were like.
Do you agree with Woody Apples and Pears by Cezanne?
Yeah, sure.
That's very nice and everything.
But I thought I'm going to start with Louis Armstrong's recording of Potato Head Blues.
That sounds pretty excellent.
So I hope you hope you enjoy this, folks.
This is it.
Oh,
so
so
The End
there you go man that's from 1927 Louis Armstrong and the hot fives or maybe the hot sevens I don't know and that's called potato head blues says in the notes here same as Willie the weeper recorded on May the 11th 1927 in Chicago
I thought you were going to do, when you told me you were going to do this bit, I thought you were going to do a thing about, you know, lists of things you really like and love in life that make you happy.
Well I did try and write my own list but it was so banal that I thought maybe I wouldn't bother reading it out.
I did one.
IMAX 3D, fruit smoothies, long Sunday breakfasts, driving over the River Thames at night, fresh
bed clothes, falling asleep on the sofa with the telly on, finishing a project and getting paid, getting recognised by someone who likes you, swimming in shallow, warm sea water, tickling a purring cat's tummy, a haircut that's grown to the perfect length, a new item of clothing that makes you look like some kind of a model,
uh... walking on the south bank the village of uh... dulverton in somerset film seeing films in foreign countries going on big roller coasters getting packages delivered from amazon spooning badminton spending the whole day in pajamas uh... things going wrong on live tv temporary deafness after a live gig and coming home from holidays and baths that's excellent man that's a good list holy moly well folks you know if you've got a list out of there i wouldn't mind hearing it i should compose a better one all i got i mean i didn't spend very long thinking about mine
But I I put at the top of my list.
I'm taking friends and family as read, you know, obviously That's the main thing that makes life worth living, but I've just got on my list Chinese food Indian foods Sushi the wire fly to the concords my bike Anton deck and Marky Smith
What a dreadful life you lead.
I like my life, that's good.
All those things are wonderful and I stand by them but I think there are probably slightly more lyrical things like what you had on your list.
I just read them very fast, it gave the effect of depth.
It worked well, I liked it man, that was a nice list.
Is it more music time now?
What are we having now?
Well, we've got a trail first.
Oh yeah, a trail, and after that we're going to hear the Kings of Convenience.
Are we going to go straight into that track?
Yeah, so this is like a... I'm flagging up the song after this trail.
Kings of Convenience with winning a battle, losing the war, but now, the trail!
It's wheel to wheel, and Lewis Hamilton slams the door!
I was in the paddock.
I've never been there before.
We've been told that Lewis Hamilton was not doing any interviews.
Then I saw him approach.
Lewis Hamilton's in front of us.
So myself and David ran over.
Our voices went the odd octave higher.
I think the most challenging question I asked him was, how are you feeling?
Obviously extremely excited.
That's what's good about live radio.
That element of unpredictability.
Life's not rehearsed, so neither are we.

Just had Joe's inspiring list of things that make life worth living there.
And, you know, all is right with the world.
I was struggling a bit earlier on because, you know, that bit in Manhattan actually, when he says Tracy's face, that's one of the things in my
sort of uh cultural mind cannon that is more or less a trigger to make me blub do you know what i mean if you've got things like that that you can't either a song or a moment in a film or something and and it's like a very visceral reaction it's nothing to do with how you're feeling at that point but it's like a switch and you just have to have a little blub about it and that moment is really yeah you could cry it'd be good radio it wouldn't
A little blub.
Come on, it would be.
It would be good.
I'll have a little cry in the news.
Yeah, what now?
Oh yeah, the news.

Yeah, very, very funny.
Lovely fellow.
And it's a good video.
You should check it out.
It's like fighting clowns.
I think it's for that track.
Pretty sure it is.
He's a South Londoner, Richard.
Now, if you heard the following sting type jingle, what would you think?
Who will win the song wars today?
Perhaps it will be Adam.
Or it could be church.
Either one.
You will be the one who decides.
By texting or repailing.
When you hear the clips.
It's like Led Zeppelin.
It should have been on the Mothership.
You know, even though it wasn't technically a Led Zeppelin track, it's just a jingle for Song Wars, I think they should have included it there as the song they- What's the Mothership?
Their big greatest hits package.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Supposed to be wicked.
It's Song Wars recap time, listeners.
If you were unable to tune into the beginning of the show, this is the part when we replay the magical songs that we've written for you this week on the theme of I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here, which reached its yawn, some climax on Friday evening or exciting one, depending on your point of view.
And a reminder that if you are voting for these songs during the week,
which you're welcome to do if you're listening again.
Please do not text, just email your vote to adamandjoe.sixmusicatbbc.co.uk.
Is that a capital A on the beginning of Adam and Joe, is that correct?
Don't know if it's case sensitive.
We don't know, it's not case sensitive.
It's the word and rather than an ampersand as well on Adam and Joe.
It's the number six.
So here we go, these are the two songs.
We're not particularly proud of these songs, listeners.
You know, we realise they're a bit problematic and ear-stressing, so they're quite short, but shall we start with yours again, Adam?
Yeah, OK then.
Here's my effort.
This is Adam's I'm a Celebrity song.
It'll be fun I'll fly to Australia Live in the jungle with some stars on the way
Then when I'm done I'll no longer be a failure I'll fly back to England and be famous again First three days in the jungle and I'm so glad that I came Everyone at home said I was mad to do it Just for the sake of being famous again But it ended too fast the first time round I want another nibble on the cherry And when people see the real me They're gonna like me very
If you ask me, they're a flippin' bunch of tools There's this folk who used to be some American celebrity Who isn't really playing by the rules
Day five things are going badly Cause it's all about the yank with the gob Or the girl with the knockers or the ex-glam rockers How am I expected to do my job?
I ain't getting picked for no bush tucker trials I spend all my time just moping It just ain't fair I'm wasted in there And now the phone lines are open I was voted out first I didn't even get a chance To prove to the viewers I'm the Chuckles of Chats This program's the worst They make me look like a boring git And if I am remembered
I need a failure I'm flying back to England and nobody again
That's sort of written from the point of view of the first person to be voted out.
That's always an ignominious position.
You know, you go all the way and then people just boot you out.
I can't remember who was the first out this year.
Mark was the first out, was he?
The love rat.
There you go.
Well, that was because of his love rattery.
But last year it was Toby Anstis.
I felt kind of sorry for Anstis because he was clearly excited by the prospect of the whole thing.
And then it was like, oh, because he was simply overshadowed by the colossal personalities in the camp with him.
And it can happen.
Yeah I on the other hand don't really watch it so I've written a song from the point of view of not really watching it and I must repeat my kind of qualifying statements that the acronym for I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here is I-M-A-I'm no hang on I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here is I-A-C-G-M-O-O-H the word IAKAMOO
So I've turned that into a kind of a jungle chant.
What do you mean in my brain?
Iyakumu.
Yeah, fair enough.
Iyakumu, I do not put, yet I've got better things to do, okay?
That's what the chorus is saying.
I've got to explain that every time.
And yeah, this is a kind of a Fumboy 3 style African thing and I can only apologise.
In the jungle every flippin' year People eating spiders, I do not care I care more for the spiders than the celebrities Staring shit off And you will leave, that is not true I'm very fond of Charis Matthews Am I in class when she's almost nude?
Very nice
will find they get treated by vets.
There's no disease, no celebrity gets seriously ill.
How many times do I have to see celebrities eating testes?
Try something new, please like TV.
Thanks a lot.
And I cannot help but sit and watch it But afterwards I feel like rubbish The camera crew are always there There's a 6 hour hotel just off the stair They get 25 grand just to appear allegedly At least I'll watch it a lot less than you
So there we go, text your votes.
If you want to hear Adam's song, which was the previous song, text ADD to 64046.
You just heard it, what am I saying if you want to hear it?
If you think it's the better one, if you think mine is the better one, the second one, text Joe to 64046.
Or if you're listening on Listen Again, email your vote to adamandjoe.sixmusicatbbc.co.uk in it bruv fam.
Yeah, wiki bruv.
Believe.
Believe.
No one says that anymore.
Doesn't Westwood still say it?
Believe Westwood.
Yes he does.
Anyway, the winner of Song Wars this week will be played on the show next week.
What's our Song Wars theme going to be for next week?
That's a very good question.
We had a good suggestion.
We had a good suggestion.
What was it?
closing credit themes for films that never really had one like you know the end of men in black you've got here come the men yeah the majority of films have a kind of rap or a song that includes the title of the film over the closing credit yeah they certainly used to in the good old days in the girls kind of duergar after Ghostbusters is such a brilliant job yes that kind of set the set the tone didn't it there's probably ones before that but now it doesn't happen so often Wow Wow West
That's a very good one as well.
And so the idea is that we're going to write closing credit songs for films that shouldn't really have them.
Yeah, or films that never had them and we think they should have done them.
And need them.
Yeah, they could be more serious, like Lions for Lambs, maybe.
No one's seen that, but I imagine it hasn't gotten a Lions for Lambs rap at the end.
Can you imagine going to see Lions for Lambs?
uh no at the cinema no i can't oh my lord it might be really good who knows i i can't believe it is oh you so so please uh give us your suggestions for films that you'd like us to write a closing credits song for the more incongruous the better obviously don't don't make it distasteful
You know, if it's a film about something really serious or an important historical event, actually maybe do send those in to adamandjo.sixmusic at bbc.co.uk and it'll be our pleasure to concoct another couple of shoddy, bizarre songs for you next week.
Now, session track time.
Is this one that I'm putting my name to?
Okay, I'm putting my name to this Joy Division session track, even though, to be honest with you folks, Joy Division is a yawning gap in my musical appreciation and knowledge.
Have you seen the film Control?
I have not seen it, but I'm told universally that it's a smash.
It's good, yeah.
I mean, you're a bit of a doubter about sort of music biog films generally.
They tend to be a little ludicrous, don't they?
I like it.
I don't know what the listeners think.
I enjoyed it a lot.
I was slightly disappointed.
Were you?
Yeah, because he didn't actually have that much of a life to... Do you know what I mean?
Was he 21?
I know, he's very young.
Yeah, yeah.
And what was there was interesting.
Hmm better or worse than What was it called 24-hour party people?
I mean, I know they're not the same very different very very different incomparable I'd say but if control wasn't in black the main thing about control is how beautiful it looks right?
How beautiful he shot it mr. Photography man Anton Corbin.
Yeah, he took our photograph.
Well, he did indeed.
Yeah all magazine Will McDonald and Richard but anyway, oh, yeah, here's some joy division.
Oh
Adam's pick of the BBC archive.
Listen to the silence, let it ring up High start, grey lens, it's bright as the sun We would have a fine time living in the night Left a blind destruction waiting for our sight We would go on as though nothing would run
I know the world is staying in the same place as staying out the time, fishing from a distance.
Just ran out of steam there at the end.
Just got a bit tired.
Got a bit knackered.
That was Joy Division with Transmission.
That was recorded as a Peel Session on Radio 1 on the 31st of January 1979.
That sounded great.
It sounded amazing, didn't it?
I wonder if Martin Hannett produced that Peel Session then as well.
Who knows?
Who knows?
Who knows?
That's uh, yeah, mystery Adam.
So Joe, what were you going on about in the break there?
What was I going on about?
Well, I don't know whether you're the same as me listeners, but I love my mega stores, right?
Yeah.
It's been very much a part of our generation's life is to go up a high street and be able to see a certain mega store, either Tower or Virgin or HMV maybe.
And we, Adam and I, we've talked about this before, like how central that was to, to our youth.
And whenever we went to a foreign city, we'd immediately go to that mega store, you know, the Virgin mega store on the Champs Elysees or wherever it was.
And it was exciting.
of contact.
Exactly kind of unity.
At once it was familiar and yet foreign.
Exactly the branding would be the same anywhere in the world but you find amazing different like albums and DVDs and stuff.
Things are changing though and we've discussed this before that because of the whole internet thing, the download generation.
Thanks a lot Tony Blair.
Shops like that are kind of dying.
And you can tell they're dying because the prices are going right down.
You know, DVDs are almost worthless.
The stuff they sell in there, it feels like a jumble sale now.
And there's been a seismic shift in this kind of trend because the Virgin Megastore, and we should remind listeners that there are many other Megastores available out there.
Are there?
Yeah.
Big British Castle Woodwood Castle.
Big British Castle.
Big British Castle.
Janet Street Porter.
Possessed by Janet Street Porter.
Anyway, the Virgin Megastore, which is one of these megastores, has undergone a brand name change.
Sometime the week before last, or maybe three or four weeks ago, it suddenly, without warning, became the Zavi store.
The what?
The Zavi.
Z-A-double-V-I.
The one in Tottenham Court Road, which is the one I go to quite a lot.
Is that an acronym?
What's the logic?
I don't know.
I've no idea.
It was very odd.
Just one day I went in and they hadn't even removed all the Virgin posters.
They kept the posters but they just torn the bits off that say Virgin.
Seriously.
They just cut the corners off the Virgin posters and put Xavi there instead.
Literally.
Yeah, they'd obviously gone into the the till computer and they changed the the receipt that said savvy, right?
But it's all very confusing.
I think the yeah, it's all very weird and they didn't give us any warning Is it still owned by a Branholm?
No Branson's out.
He's out.
He's ghost.
He's gone, right?
Yeah He does not want anything to do with the the retail selling of DVDs and CDs anymore, right?
and that surely is the beginning at the end and
yeah when brownhorn is out no that's too rich for my blood says brenholm i'm out of here i ain't done no dvd no more brand home and lift the building so that's the beginning of the end hmv is still going strong hang on in there hmv come on oh what would we do without like big shops like that to go mooching around on it at the weekend well they're
They're sort of going through a little desperate transition phase where they're trying to do things like have kind of computer banks there where you can go and download stuff.
That's what Blockbuster think of the future.
There's no way that's going to happen, is there?
The whole point is the convenience of doing that stuff at home.
With a bit of luck, those big sort of catch-all mega stores will.
It won't be lucky if this happens, but they're likely to die, but that'll see a resurgence of the specialist music store.
Right.
Don't you think the brilliant kind of niche CD seller?
Yeah, exactly.
Who can get like import Japanese stuff and really cool stuff.
Yeah, that could be a good thing.
Certainly.
The end.
We embrace change here at the Adam and Jo BBC6 music show.
We're almost at the end of the Adam and Jo BBC6 music show.
What are we going to play David Holmes, is it?
Oh stars a little bit stars.
Yeah, let's have some more music right now this is stars with the night starts here.
You drop a coin into the sea And shout out, please come back to me You name your shot after your fear And tell them I have brought you here The pleasure, huh?
The aftershock The moment that takes the fall apart The time we had, the task at hand
We destroy the man, the ecstasy The beating free, the big black lie Over you and me And after that, the upwards fall And were we angels after all?
I don't know, I don't know
The night starts here Forget your name Forget your fear The night starts here Forget your name Forget your fear You drop a quote
Into the sea And shout out, please come back to me You name your child After your fear And tell them I have brought you here The night starts here The night starts here Forget your name Forget your fear The night starts here The night starts here
Your tracks are sweet, empty and sweet And shake that cloud on me And after that, we must fall into the danger zone
that stars with the night starts here.
So don't forget, listeners, we'd very much like your suggestions for Song Wars songs.
We'd like you to suggest a film for which we will compose a closing credits kind of thing, an inappropriate film that needs a closing credits song and protects the nation next week.
We're going to kind of stick to that Woody Allen style lists of of kind of little little things that make life worth living.
Yeah, the more sort of personal to you they can be, the better, I suppose.
Stuff that isn't, you know, articulated a lot, maybe, but that we all share.
I'll try and hone my list a little better.
So don't text those in email.
We only receive emails when we're off air.
AdamandJoe.6musicatbbc.co.uk.
Thanks to everybody who's texted and emailed this week.
Yes, as usual, we very much appreciate you listening.
Tell your friends.
I still bump into a lot of people saying, oh, you guys should be back on the radio again.
And I have to say, well, we are.
All you have to do is buy a digital radio.
It's not that hard, is it?
But right now I'd like to leave you with a final track that I've selected for you listeners.
This is from one of the excellent Atlantic rhythm and blues compilations and it's Laverne Baker with Saved.
Have a good week.
Oh, it's gone.
Liz Kershaw is coming up in a second, incidentally, while we wait for Laverne Baker to return.
Is it?
Shall I sing it?
I used to smoke.
I used to drink.
I used to smoke drink.
That's a hoochie coo, but now I'm back on.
Here's Liz Kershaw.
This is a disastrous final two minutes of the show.
The song for you.
What's this?
A bit of David Holmes.
Not the same at all.
This is the 69th release.
It's awesome.
Thank you.
This is the first time I've seen this.
There's a lot of cool, big fling when the 69th release is coming out.
There's a lot of good stuff going on.
There's a lot of good stuff going on.
This is the 69th release.
This is the 69th release.
This is the 69th release.
We are one, forever, see no other, until you see the light.
