Adam and Joe on 6music.
I'll stop making the eyes of you.
What it is that surprises me is that I don't really want you to.
When your shoulders are frozen over your head.
Oh, but you're an explosion Your name isn't real, but I don't care
You look good on the
that is the new sound of the underground a band called the arctic monkeys that i think you're going to be hearing a lot more from in the weeks to come they're the biggest band of the 80s this is adam and joe here with the latest sounds and the latest music news sounds on six music home of news music and sound
Happy Saturday everybody.
Thanks for tuning in.
It's the first exciting hour of our three-hour Saturday morning extravaganza and have we got news for you was on last week Yeah, it was a confusing sentence.
It got derailed in the middle because we got features.
Yeah
You!
This is good, man.
We're off to a good start.
Thanks.
This is slick.
We're gonna be, uh, revealing the winner of Song Wars.
Last week's Song Wars.
Was it last week?
Two weeks back.
Christmas has confused everything.
Two weeks back.
This is, uh, our Christmas Song Wars from two weeks back that we played you.
Last week, of course, was our Christmas show where Joe and myself gave each other presents.
Uh, what a time that was.
I don't think any of us will ever forget that.
But now we're in that strange hinterland between Christmas and New Year.
More or less right slap back in, bang, back, back.
My brain is no longer working.
It's more or less shut down for the Christmas holidays.
Well there's plenty of good stuff coming, listeners, believe us, but for now let's have some, a bowl of lovely warm pumpkin soup, delicious, with Kate Nash floating around in it like a sort of crouton.
You're chatting to me like we connect But I don't even know if we're still friends It's so confusing Understanding you is making me not want to do The things that I know I should do But I trip fast and then I lose And I hate looking like a fool I just want your
The lights are on and someone's home But I'm not sure if they're alone There's someone else inside my head Living there to fill me with dread This paranoia is distressing And I spend most of my nights guessing Are we not, are we together?
Will this make our lives much better?
I'm not in love I just wanna be in touch
I hope that you
Kate Nash with pumpkin soup this is Adam and Joe here on BBC six music we should tell you listeners that this show is not actually live so please do not email us or text us as we're not currently here this show is pre-recorded because at the moment we're in Lapland
are we yeah what are we doing in that plan uh we are talking to santa we're counseling him he's been very depressed he's had a tough time the past week or so yeah and uh we're his kind of emotional support team what's the matter with him he's just very sad because
Well, he can't get to absolutely everybody that he wants to get to with the toys There's a lot of sadness in the world a lot of areas that are war-torn and he can't do anything about that He feels that you know just handing out toys.
That's just like putting a band-aid on the problem It's not really a long-term solution
So we're trying to chat to him about those issues and get some perspective.
He's upset that the world's gone PC crazy.
He thinks it's gone PC crazy.
You know, it's just PC gone mad, as far as he's concerned, a lot of the time.
He should read the papers less, that centre.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because he made some comments about some minorities as well, which have got him into hot water, so we're...
What are you talking about?
They made some comments about some of the elves and now he's been branded a racist.
Sounded as if I was working my way up to a joke there, some kind of punchline but nothing could have been further from the truth.
So listen listeners, all over Christmas you've been voting in the big song wars Christmas song Fight Off.
Adam and I composed a Christmas song each.
They were two of the most powerful songs ever recorded in under three hours.
They were certainly two of the best Christmas songs ever recorded.
Really?
Yeah.
I mean, yes, they were.
How have you worked that out?
I've worked that out because they're pretty much at the bottom of the list with all other Christmas songs above.
Oh, so the Christmas song top ten is just a flat line, it's a straight line.
Well, the list of the best Christmas songs ever written includes all the Christmas songs ever written.
Right.
And so we're technically in that.
Okay.
But very near the bottom.
OK, I'm confused, but all will be made clear in terms of who won that fight in a second when I open the results.
Just to remind you, listeners, they were very different in style.
I went for a kind of a Christmas.
In fact, my song was called Christmas Country Party Time.
We're not going to play Eclipse because it'll just bring back painful memories.
And, Joes, what was yours like?
Mine was, it's hard to describe the musical genre, but it was a kind of George Formby, like hardhouse combo about shopping at an all night garage on Christmas Eve, getting your presents on Christmas Eve.
All night garage, all night garage, Christmas Eve.
See, you remember it.
I do remember.
Do I remember yours?
Go on then.
Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas.
That was it.
Jumbilene, Christmas.
Jumbilene, Christmas.
Something like that.
Catchy.
It's catchy.
Are we going to do the results now, or shall we spin it out?
If Simon Cowell was producing this show, he'd spin it out.
He'd spin it out for another two hours.
He'd play another record.
If Ant and Dec were announcing it, there'd be a one hour gap between us saying, and the winner is...
then the actual winner.
It's true.
So in that spirit I think we should play some more music what have we got coming up James Brown listening wise I chose this one for you listeners I thought this is a nice little seasonal nugget you know because it's still sort of seasonal even though it's after Christmas now and it's tainted with the stink of the new year but this is a lovely mellow song from the early days of James Brown I think maybe even with his famous flames but it's called maybe the last time enjoy
Maybe the last time.
Maybe the last time.
Maybe the last time.
Maybe the last time we're shaking.
Maybe the last time.
Maybe the last time we're making plans.
Maybe the last time.
Oh, I, oh, I, I don't know.
Believe me, I don't wanna be alone When you're all alone You wanna talk on the telephone
And just about the time you get comfortable You operate as a signal when you're blue breeze Oh I, oh I, I don't know It may be the last time It may be the last time It may be the last time
You might never, never, never see them again.
BBC 6.
six music this new year's eve from seven it's adam and joe everybody knows that new year's eve is rubbish it's the last thing you want to do have yet another party after two weeks of stuffing yourself so why don't you instead make a date to spend three hours with me adam and me joe it'll still be rubbish but you know fun rubbish looking back over the year imagine that i don't think anyone's ever known that no and from ten we are
It's the Queens of Noise.
We're bringing you into 2008 for the ultimate New Year's Eve-nies up.
We're gonna have bags of extra special guests.
We love everyone.
You'll be a loon to miss it.
And the Queens of Noise.
Followed by Chris Hawkins through the night.
New Year 08 on 6.
Cheers!
On digital online.
BBC 6 Music.
I wanna see a revival, yeah Gonna be a revival tonight
It means my soul's survival, oh We just saw the same We're putting it to my suffering to come
So blind With my eyes wide open
Wanna see a revival tonight, Lord Let there be a revival, yeah We need to see a revival tonight, Lord Wanna see a revival, oh
My eyes so blind With my eyes wide open
Oh, it's saying, put an end to my suffering.
I want to see a revival at night.
Lord, there needs to be a revival.
Mmm.
That's very spiritual stuff there.
That's the soul savers with Revival and Before The Trail You Heard My Selection For You, which was James Brown with Maybe The Last Time.
This is Adam and Joe here on BBC6 music.
And now... It's time for Soul Wars.
Yes, it's time to reveal the winner of the pre-Christmas song wars.
Adam and I wrote Christmas songs and battled them against each other, kind of like battling Beatles.
Yeah?
No, more like Transformers.
More like Transformers, bashing each other up down a New York street with shibboleth holding some kind of a cube skidding around the place.
I still haven't seen that film, you know.
Yeah, don't worry about it.
What will happen if I just never see it?
Nothing.
A tiny bit of your brain will be active.
Good one.
That no one else in the world will have access to.
Here we go.
So here's the winner.
I'm opening the envelope with the stats in.
Represented in percentage to save the blushes, you know.
Only four or five people will have voted.
I'm afraid it's a landslide for Cornish.
I believe you've won six times and I've won twice.
Yeah but you know what I think your two winning ones are two of the best songs ever.
Well, James Rohan, that was one of my winning ones.
I didn't really like that one.
Wasn't one of my favourites.
Sometimes an artist doesn't like his own best work.
Maybe.
Yeah, look at George Lucas with the stores.
It's my, it's my creep.
You know what I mean?
Do Radiohead not like creep?
Not really.
I mean, you know, they sort of have an affection for it, but it's a millstone around their necks, you know?
Well let's hear the winning song.
This is called All Night Garage and this is about a kind of moment in time that is past now and you don't have to worry about until next year but it's about when you panic on Christmas Eve about buying Prezzies which is completely evident from the words.
Stay strong!
What?
Oh no!
It's nine o'clock on Christmas Eve and I ain't bought no presents yet.
What am I gonna do?
I'll have to go down the all night garage.
All night garage, all night garage, Christmas shopping at the all night garage.
All night garage, all night garage, Christmas shopping at the all night garage.
All night garage, all night garage, Christmas shopping at the all night garage.
All night garage, all night garage, Christmas shopping at the all night garage.
Hello there mate, how are you doing?
I've gotta buy some stuff and my Christmas will be ruined.
Is that a DVD of This of Fury?
Or is it double-dissette with runaway jewellery?
Or silent rage in Delta Force 2 in an action band?
That'll have to do, I'm not quite sure if my Auntie Doris appreciates the oeuvre of Chuck Norris But I've left it late and it's beginning to rain And on Christmas Day she can't complain All night garage, all night garage Christmas shopping at the all night garage All night garage, all night garage
All night garage, all night garage Christmas shopping at the all night garage All night garage, all night garage Christmas shopping at the all night garage
Joe, what's this you got me?
Delta Force 2 and a cigarette lighter.
Oh, thank you, you shouldn't have.
My lord is the play over yet.
You're so jealous.
Is it finally finished?
Yeah it finished a long time ago.
Is anyone still awake?
It just seemed to last a long time because one inhabits it so.
So you know the competition is called Song Wars.
Yeah.
You're supposed to write a song with like verses, choruses and you know just yeah.
That had a verse and a chorus?
Not really.
the chorus went um all night garage all night garage that's a course it's a chant it's not a chorus compared to christmas christmas christmas time christmas actually they're identical i've just uh answered my own case there
There you go.
That's it for Song Wars this week.
We'll be doing more Song Wars next week.
But for the moment, for everybody's sanity, we're going to take a bit of a break from the thing.
But when we do our next show, we're going to try and kind of branch out a bit subject wise.
We're gonna go, one of our ideas, listeners, I don't know what you think of this, is to do ringtones.
We're gonna compose a ringtone each, and that way, we're just trying to think of ways we can make genuine money.
You know, there's the idea of releasing some sort of a Song Wars album, but I think the only way that'll happen is if it's for comic relief.
Right, or the whole world suddenly goes deaf or something.
so ringtones is a good option don't you think to raise some money i write a ringtone we try and make them as as insanely catchy as possible yeah like the crazy frog or uh t2 featuring jody it's easier said than done though man you know i mean everyone's at that game do you think yeah surely we've talked about it a lot we've ever we've never actually nailed our colours to the mast and tried to do it maybe we should try so that's what we're going to do if you've got any suggestions for themes or content of song wars do email us adamandjoe.sixmusicatbbc.co.uk
Now, here is one of Joe's favorite bands.
Yeah, who?
Because you love Nina Person from the Cardigans.
Yes.
You love that band.
Nina Person?
That's what she's called.
I know.
And do you remember the band and all the songs they done?
Oh yeah.
Here's one of them.
I'm just remembering now.
Carnival by the Cardigans.
What?
Just you and then show
It's from a giant wheel For only every way And I'm here at my door, waiting for you I will never know, cause you will never show Come on and love me now, come on and love me now I will never know, cause you will never show
should take
There you go, that was The Cardigans with Carnival.
This is Adam and Joe here on BBC6 Music.
Just a reminder, folks, that this show has been pre-recorded for your listening pleasure, so apologies if that makes you feel as if it's kind of less fun.
Does it bum you out if someone's pre-recorded something?
Well, sometimes the live experience is more unifying.
It's something called the common consciousness
Every living creature is existing at the same time under the same sun.
And if we share things communally, there can be an unspoken bomb between us.
You know what I mean?
A bomb?
A bomb.
An unspoken bomb.
Well that's disastrous.
Yeah, exactly.
So it's a good thing we're pre-recorded.
It's much safer.
So I was just mentioning that so that you don't text or email us if you require an immediate response listeners because I wouldn't want you to feel cheated.
Because if that happened we could all be put in jail for a very long time.
Yes indeed.
Now one of the most exciting things that I've read on the internet this week that probably every other radio show in the world has done but never mind we'll do it too is the onions link of onions kind of sum up-ness.
What's that word?
overview rundown of the worst band names of the year yeah you ready for some of them go on then hit me uh they've gone through the whole of the internet i think and every music magazine and kind of picked out the most stupid names yeah uh one of them is gay baby gay baby is that worse than gay dad uh i think so yeah i guess it's seeing as gay dad already existed it's more distasteful isn't it it's not fair on the baby
And hit one more before we have to go to the news?
Maybe we can hear some of these after the news.
Okay.
But hit me with one more right now as like a tease straight into the news.
Harmonica Lewinsky.
I love that.
Here's news.

Adam and Joe On 6music As I walked along
The supposed golden path I was confronted By a mysterious spectre He pointed to the graveyard Over on yonder hill I paused in cosmic reflection Confused and wondering of how I came
For if I was dead, how and why did I die?
But I composed myself and decided I should face it.
On the supposed golden path And I was confronted By a powerful demon force And he said he was the devil And when he spoke his words float like glowing lava From the mouth of a volcano And I said, help me lord I found myself in some kind
I did not believe in a heaven and hell World in opposites kind of reality And I gained control of myself And I decided to press on And as I walked along
The supposed golden path I was trembling with fear Oh the lions and wizards yet to come Are seen in the distance Silver mountains rising high in the clouds And a voice from above did whisper Some shining answer from the
In the legendary Abbey Road Studios, Oasis, Razorlight, Richard Ashcroft, Commissar Chiefs and many more, gather to recreate an album which recently turned forcey.
The Beatles' Sgt.
Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
You can't imagine it happening again.
One thing having an impact across the board.
What about just a single do?
The program, which originally aired on Radio 2 in the summer, features new material showing the recording techniques used before computers and digital equipment.
Sergeant Pepper's 40th anniversary, tonight from 9, 6 Music.
Bingo here.
I'd like to thank you just for being fans.
Sounds great.
BBC 6 Music.
So tired, tired of waiting Tired of waiting for you
So tired, tired of waiting Tired of waiting for you I was a lonely soul I had nobody till I met you But you keep me waiting All of the time What can I do?
It's your life, and you can do what you want Do what you like, but please don't keep me
I wasn't lonely so I had nobody till I met you But you keeping me waiting all of the time What can I do?
It's your life and you can do what you want Do what you love
So tired, tired of waiting, tired of waiting for you
That was The Kinks.
We're tired of waiting for you.
Before that, you heard the Chemical Brothers with the Flaming Lips with a track called The Golden Path.
This is Adam and Joe on BBC6 Music.
Hello.
Hey, are you talking to me?
Yeah, not really.
The listeners, everybody.
Hey, how you doing, listeners?
Are you enjoying yourselves?
This can sometimes be a stressful time because it's right in the middle just between Christmas and New Year.
Whatever happens, you know, maybe you're going to take it easy on New Year.
me and Joe are definitely we're going to sit back relax and just be nice and mellow about it but some people feel they have to push the boat out domestic abuse triples over Christmas did you know that that's a really fun fact well it's booze isn't it that's the desert deadly booze yeah of course cut down on the booze booze is a disaster it's a disaster area look at you look at me yeah shadow of my former self
So just before that double whammy of great tracks, we were borrowing material shamelessly from the Onion AV website who've compiled a list of the worst band names of the year.
I managed to squeeze one out, but now here are the rest of them.
That's nice.
That's really pathetic kind of breakfast show innuendo kind of thing.
Here we go.
So how about some more?
You ready for some more, Adam?
Yes, please.
Would you buy an album by a band called Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band?
Yes, I definitely would.
I'd be delighted with that.
Would you buy an album by a band called Shout Out Out Out Out?
No.
How many outs?
Four.
That's awful.
Shout Out Out Out Out.
No, I definitely wouldn't.
There used to be a band called On On On as well.
Did you buy an album by them?
No, I think I knew someone who was in the band and I remember them telling me the name and being very excited about it and I was thinking, oh dear.
Okay, would you buy an album by a band called Baboon Torture Division?
You know, to me that doesn't sound much worse than the Arctic monkeys.
They're probably animal activists, aren't they, don't you think?
No, they hate baboons.
Baboon torture division?
Yeah.
Do you think?
They're in charge of the torture division.
Well, how does that follow up with the logic of joy division?
I mean Joy Division didn't approve of the activities of the Joy Division.
They were cruelly and darkly satirising them.
So I say the same logic applies to Baboon Torture Division.
I'm not aware of an actual existing Baboon Torture Division though.
Really?
In a way that there was a... I'll do some internet research.
Right.
I'll get you some info.
What about Sex Rat?
Penguins with shotguns?
That's terrible.
Sex rat I can live with.
Penguins with shotguns for some reason.
What about Dance Me Pregnant?
These are real bands.
Yes.
I quite like Dance Me Pregnant.
You see, it's hard to tell whether they're purposely bad, you know?
Yeah.
So many layers of irony.
What about the house that Gloria Vanderbuilt?
No, that's useless.
What about Neil Diamond Phillips?
You quite like that one.
You're having to think about that a bit.
It's confused you.
Neil Diamond Phillips?
No, I don't get that.
Lou Diamond Phillips and Neil Diamond have joined.
Oh, that's useless.
That's rubbish.
What about?
I liked the one that we can't actually say the whole name on the air, but it's the effing unicorns.
Yeah.
It only really works if you're allowed to say the bad word.
There's a lot of bands coming out with the F word actually in the name of the band or stuff like that, and you sort of think, what's, I mean obviously it's a gesture, it's a kind of anti-establishment gesture, they don't care if they're, you know, not mentioned or played on the radio or whatever, that's part of their stance, right?
You would think.
Yeah.
But it's, I mean it's counterproductive, because I can't think of any really successful bands with the F bomb in their name.
No.
No, it's counterproductive, exactly.
It stops you selling records.
It's a rude word.
Yeah.
Surely the aim of the game is to get your stuff out there and get it heard.
You know, what's the point of forming a band and rehearsing and doing gigs and stuff if no one's ever going to listen to you?
Alright, bands?
Seems a bit insane.
So think about it.
That's what I'm saying, kids, alright?
It might seem clever and funny to drop the F-bomb in the name of the band there, but ultimately you'll regret it.
Here's the specials with Monkey Man.
I never saw you, I only heard of you It's so nice
It's no lie, the monkey must be mine It's no lie, it's no lie, the monkey must be mine Now I know that, now I understand You're turning a monkey for me Now I know that, now I understand You're turning a monkey for me
Get off my big monkey mouth
Aye, aye, aye Aye, aye, aye Aye, aye, aye Aye, aye, aye Aye, aye, aye Aye, aye, aye Aye, aye, aye
Hooray, that was the specials with Monkey Man.
This is Adam and Joe on BBC6 Music on this special inter-Christmas and New Year Saturday.
It sounded as if you rechristened the station BBC6 Music on.
yeah that's what it'll be called in the future yeah when everything has the word con on the end uh-huh six music on with joe con and adam con adam con it's not quite so good um if you were listening a couple of weeks ago friends then you might recall i was just on my way to go and see tintin uh the theater production of tintin in tibet with my young sons
And I have to report to you that I enjoyed myself greatly.
It was fun.
If you get the opportunity, you should catch it.
You still haven't seen it, have you, Joe?
What, the stage production of Tintin?
No!
When was the last time you went to the theatre?
Do you think people should be going around sort of in anguish that they haven't caught Tintin?
Well, yeah, because it's really good.
Unusually good, I would say.
I'm not a massive theatre fan.
No.
Because I get very uncomfortable.
You're too clever for the theatre.
Am I?
Yeah.
I just think you have a quick wittedness and a love of drama that just supersedes theatre.
Why?
There was no need for you to go in there and start being sarcastic from nowhere.
I don't know, I think there was a certain medical need.
Right.
Anyway.
I'm only joking, you know.
Yeah, yeah.
But listen, folks, it was really good.
But by stark contrast, the next day we went to the panto.
And maybe I shouldn't say the panto that we saw, just because I don't want to be negative, especially as I knew... Well, I mean, pantos are generally generic, so you can tell us the story that was the fairy story that was unfolding without revealing the specific production, right?
Can't you?
Maybe.
Was it Jack and the Beanstalk?
Was it Cinderella?
Was it Snow White?
It was Jack and the Beanstalk?
Yeah.
Okay, that's fine.
There are millions of productions of Jack and the Beanstalk.
Who was the star?
Well, I should say from the get-go that it went down very well with the audience.
We went to see it at the Barbican Centre in London.
Well, that's that then now.
Yeah, I know, but I'm saying that I'm identifying it now.
Right.
But everybody loved it.
But it was just me and my family that had a problem with it.
But mainly the problem was it was so long.
Why?
Why do they have to be so long?
It's important to be true to the facts of Jack and the Beanstalk.
No.
What are the facts of Jack and the Beanstalk?
Tell me the whole story right now.
I bet you could do it in under ten seconds.
Okay, here we go.
Jack and the Beanstalk by J.M.
Cornish.
Once upon a time Jack got some seeds and he put them in the ground.
They were from a fairy or maybe a witch.
and he put them in the ground and then a tree grew and he climbs up and at the top no a vine a beanstalk you jerk a beanstalk grows up and it goes above the clouds and he climbs up it and at the top there's a giant yes and he hides on the table
and then etc etc etc there's a car chase he kisses the scullery maid uh there's some business with the loofah and tom hanks and then eventually the giant becomes nice and comes down to earth and they all live happily ever after and hang on someone chops the beanstalk down yeah before the
dragon can chase Cinderella that's basically it yeah that's more or less it well that was that was longer than I expected the summary to be that was still less than a couple of minutes right the one I saw was two and a half hours
Wow.
Two and a half hours.
I'm not sure exactly how long the interval was because we left then.
No.
Yes.
Did the kids want to go?
Yes, they wanted to go before it started.
The worst thing was that we were
We got bad seats.
I mean, we were unlucky with the seats.
We were stuck there in the very back row of the circle, like the uppermost part of the theater.
So the furthest back you could possibly be?
Furthest back.
And right in the middle of a very long, thin row from which there was absolutely no escape.
You know what I mean?
I absolutely hate that.
I can't bear it.
So I felt very claustrophobic.
It was incredibly hot in the theater.
and oh man it lasted ages the children were squirming around and saying Danny when's it gonna start like a good 20 minutes before the show actually commenced luckily modern gadget fans I had my video iPod there you watched a movie did you catch a movie or an episode of the wire headphones in yeah yeah yeah children were watching some you know inappropriate movie action on their
Oh, the whole family was watching the video.
Yeah.
Wow.
So it saved our bacon.
How long is that on for?
Probably a couple of years.
I mean, it's a successful production, lot of talented people involved.
And I would stress again that everybody else there was having a whale of a time.
But I think maybe my family is kind of jaded by DVDs and stuff.
Quite soon after the beginning of the production, my son Frank leaned over and said, Dad, I wish I could watch Star Wars again.
And I had to, I had to concur.
Listen, here's a session track, listeners.
This is Everything But The Girl singing Lonesome For A Place I Know.
This was recorded for Mark Goodyear on Radio 1 in 1988.
The air is warm, the sky is bright Your arms are brown, you're sleeping well at night So why does England call?
The heads rose and the town rose After all, there'll still be nothing left at all
If we were born outside of place and time To make our choice, well, this would be mine To live and die under a sun that shines But something cruel, something I can't define Tells me England calls Whatever she's done wrong Always calls This is where you belong And I'm not
I'm soon for a place unknown
Oh, but Florence, you tempt me here to stay Amidst you, here's to all my years away But your roots in soil are mine in paving stone And I hate what it's become, but in my bones I'm low on the sun For a place I know Yes, I'm low
I'm lonesome, for a place I know I'm lonesome, for a place I know I'm lonesome, for a place I know
Everything but the girl with lonesome for a place I know recorded in 1988 for Mark Goodyear.
This is Adam and Joe on BBC Radio 6 Music.
Home of the number six.
Now we were chatting about pantos just there before the session track and Joe suddenly admitted that he had a little repressed memory that popped out.
A panto, it wasn't that long ago.
I went to see a panto at the Royal Festival Hall, was it?
Hall?
It was designed, it was Peter Pan.
And it was designed by Lawrence Llewellyn-Bowen.
Oh, you're obsessed with Llewellyn-Bowen.
I do like that.
He's a very nice chap.
Yeah, well, we worked with him.
Exactly.
He's a nice fellow.
And I didn't go to see this because it was designed by Lawrence Llewellyn-Bowen, but it was a kind of a, you know, a Tony production.
Oh, what's a Tony production?
A Tony.
That's like an American phrase for classy.
Oh, OK.
You know, a theater phrase.
So, yeah.
So I went to see it.
And what Llewellyn-Bowen had done brilliantly was remove all the color.
Right.
It was a black and white production.
There was no color in any of the costumes or the scenery.
Right.
No color at all.
So it's all just white people as well.
White sort of outlining people.
Right.
Yeah and it was really visually boring.
Colorless.
Yeah.
And nobody flew in it until the very very end literally after the audience had finished the first round of applause.
So it was colorless right the way through.
I thought you were going to say it was like an opening gambit to make it monochrome.
No the whole thing.
Taking all the color out from the whole thing.
Suddenly an explosion of color like Pleasantville.
No.
Yeah it was it was applying the logic of interior decoration to to stage design.
Was this aimed mainly at adults?
There was an atmosphere of loathing in the auditorium.
Boredom and loathing.
How long did that go on?
And then at the very end Peter Pan, we were waiting for flying all the way through and at the very end Peter Pan sort of quite visibly strapped on a couple of wires and went about two meters off the ground swung to the left a bit and then swung back into the scenery and then went down again.
Oh my lord.
It was awful.
Were there risque jokes?
No.
But you know what, when I get bored in the theatre, I don't know whether you find this or the listeners find this, you end up sort of looking at the bodies of the performers.
Do you ever find that?
Your mind goes off the story and you just end up looking at the... Like pieces of meat.
Yeah.
Parading for your pleasure.
They can't look back, they're not allowed to say anything because that would break the fourth wall.
Well because you can stare at any area you want.
And often if it's a production that involves tights, there'll be quite a lot of detail available for viewing.
The theatre for you is like a kind of sex show isn't it?
And for you.
It's like Amsterdam.
I go to Amsterdam.
For you, for me, for everybody.
Let's face it.
Let's see a filthy performance in a little box.
Let's have some more music listeners.
This is Lauryn Hill with Doo-Wop, open brackets, that thing, closed brackets.
No, actually, as it's written down, it's Doo-Wop T, open brackets, hat thing, closed brackets.
I think that might be a typo.
And never called you again when he told you he was about the bench
Now you think you really gon' pretend Like you wasn't down and you called him again Plus when you give it up so easy, you ain't even foolin' him If you did it then, then you probably hurt again Talkin' out your neck, saying you're a Christian I must land sleepin' with the gin Now that was the sin that did gems about it Who you gon' tell when the repercussions spin?
Showin' off your ass cause you thinkin' it's a trend, girlfriend Let me break it down for you again You know I only said cause I'm truly genuine Don't be a hard rock when you really are
You still defending them now Lauren is only human Don't think I haven't been through the same predicament Let it sit inside your head like a million women in Philly, man It's silly when girls sell they souls because it's sin Look at where you bein' Head weaves like you're in pins Fate nails up our careers, come again
The sack of verse is dedicated to the man or concerned with his rims and his temps and his women.
Him and his men, come in the club like hootie cans.
Don't care who they offend, pop and yam.
Let's stop the tang.
The one that pack pissed out by the waste men, crystalled by the casement.
Still the name of this basement.
The pretty face man claiming that they did a bid, man.
Need to take care of their three and four kids.
Been the face and core case when the child supports late.
Money taking heartbreak and now you wonder why women hate me.
The sneaky silent man, the punk master violence man.
you ain't right with that.
How you gonna win when you ain't right with that?
How you gonna win when you ain't right with that?
Uh-uh, come again.
Digital Online BBC 6Music Adam & Joe on 6Music Gold Line's gonna tell me where the light is Gold Line's gonna tell me where the light is Take our hands out of control
Take our hands out of control Now tell me what you saw, tell me what you saw
Take our hands out of control
That's the Yeah Yeah Yeahs with Gold Lion.
And before that you heard?
Lauryn Hill with Do What?
Do That Thing.
That thing, that thing.
That's two ladies in a row.
Yeah, it's a lady sandwich.
My favourite.
Just before you carry on with what you were thinking, I just wanted to get something off my face.
Katie Tunstall.
You know Katie Tunstall, right?
Is she very, very small?
Or is it the guitar that's giant?
You know, she has a giant guitar.
Is it, I'm just wondering, seriously, is she known to have an oversized guitar?
That's what I, I can't quite tell.
I can't tell if she's weaning.
Well, why would I think, you know, Occam's razor and everything you were talking about the other week, the most logical explanation would be that she's small.
Where would it get you in the business to just have a really large guitar?
Well, in the crazy world of pop, it might think some kind of gimmick.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Do you think, wouldn't push that a bit more?
I don't know, I saw her on later with Jules Holland the other day and she was dwarfed by this ludicrously enormous guitar.
I'd say small.
You would say tiny.
Yeah, famous people are usually very small.
Right, right, right.
Yeah, tiny.
That's true, isn't it?
Makes it cheaper to build sets around them.
They, you know, eat less food.
If they get shirty or bolshie in any way they can be, you know, put down physically easier.
Yeah, you can transport more of them more cheaply.
They can go in the hold.
Yeah.
In kind of velvet lined cases.
Bulk famous people.
Yeah, exactly.
So there you go, there's the answer to your question.
Thank you.
Now listeners, as we've mentioned several times, this is a pre-recorded show, but that shouldn't stop us from making it feel as if it's a real show.
How are you going to do that?
By having a kind of imaginary text-a-nation.
Right.
So let's play the jingle.
Text-a-nation, text, text, text, text-a-nation.
What if I don't want to?
Text-a-nation.
But I'm using email.
Is that a problem?
It doesn't matter, text!
but don't text listeners because we're not actually here but you can imagine you're texting or you can just chat about this Text the Nation subject between yourselves.
Yeah.
So this is a sort of virtual text donation.
It's simulated.
It's a placebo.
Is it in fact a test text donation?
Yeah.
It's a synthy test.
It's like a dry run.
Yeah.
A dress rehearsal for 2008.
Yeah.
So please don't text.
There's no one here to read them.
But you can mind texting, you know, if you need some sort of business to keep you occupied.
But were we to be live, we'd be asking you, or I'd be asking you, to text in on the following.
I watched the newborn film.
again yeah yeah yeah ultimatum supremacy which one ultimatum isn't it i think so the final one yeah yeah uh and it was quite exciting one of those films that wasn't quite as good the the second time oh that's disappointing i'm just about to get into my second watch with the ultimatum you sort of see the tricks a bit more the second time
You know, the shaky cam, the relentless drum beats.
Surely the long chase sequence with the book punching was still good, wasn't it?
Yeah, they're brilliant.
The set pieces are all fantastic.
But I was quite taken by the man, I don't know what the actor's name is, but he's the baddie man and he's in the control room the whole time.
Do you remember him?
He's a bit like a sort of teacher.
He keeps saying stuff like, I want information people!
yes you know in the little glasses he's strutting up and down there's him and there's the blonde lady and there's brian cox yeah it's not the blonde lady it's not brian cox it's him guy although you do fancy brian cox i do a little bit what what makes you say that just being silly sorry yeah i was challenged there my yeah you reacted quite yeah i did i did what he knows i thought he knows
Um, so I was taken by the dialogue this man, uh, it says, and the way he says it, he says stuff like in, yeah, we, uh, stuff like we went in for a sneak and peak.
A sneak and peak?
Yeah.
What do you think that means?
Sneak and peak.
Uh, that's like a recce, isn't it?
Exactly.
They broke into his flatmate.
They have, they searched around.
Yeah.
We went in for a quick sneak and peak.
He says, get me a tic tac toe.
whoa yeah what would you do if you suddenly you're in that control room at a computer and he said to you get me a tic tac toe what would you say um i've got i'd say i've got it's quite a good one orange and lime is that good or would you like mint tic tac toe it's like a tic tac disease of the toes of the toes yeah too many tic tacs
I've got a tic-tac-toe.
I've got a tic-tac-toe.
One of my toes is like green, the other one's orange.
And the other one's white and minty.
That actually means elevations, like plans, elevations of a building.
Okay.
You can see it now, can't you?
A grid.
Yeah, give me a tic-tac-toe.
He says, uh, he says, uh, activate the asset.
That's an easy one.
You know what the asset is.
He's the assassin.
Yeah the spy exactly.
But that's something born invented isn't it?
The use of the word asset.
Well I mean.
Part of the thrill of those movies is the weird words they use.
I guess that a lot of these terms are taken from their real security forces.
Possibly or made up.
Possibly.
They say release the funds.
Release the fun?
No release the funds.
That's a funhouse phrase.
Release the funds.
Someone said release the funds to you what would you think?
Uh, release the funds.
I would get onto the bank.
It's all terminology designed that if the phone's being tapped, they won't know what you actually mean, right?
It's like if you're on a plane or in a shop, they've always got a code for the fire alarm.
Is it like your security code on the back of your credit card?
I think that one was just to release some funds.
But I wrote it down anyway.
And one more.
He goes at one stage, do a sub rosa collection of the buddies.
Sub rosa?
What does that mean?
That's just Latin, isn't it?
Well, sub rosa does mean something, but I forget what because it's between Christmas and New Year.
But my question would be, were we having Text the Nation, can you think of other phrases that could be applied in that way that sound as if they are very meaningful in a sort of spy and a complicated way, do you know what I mean?
In science fiction films they have lots of stuff like that.
There's always a character that says things where locked and cocked, five by five, all green on my screen.
So what phrases are best under those circumstances?
I thought of maybe finish the mouthful.
Finish the mouthful.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Or what about, put the clothes in the tumble dryer.
Get me clothes in that tumble dryer.
Yeah?
That could mean something.
What would that mean?
Clothes in the tumble dryer.
That means, that means conceal the body.
Yeah.
Right?
What about, what would the mouthful one mean?
Finish the mouthful.
That would mean, kill him.
Polish him off.
Finish the mouthful.
Yeah?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So get thinking.
How about.
Join the next record.
Don't say it now, don't say it now.
Save it up, okay?
Save it up.
Oh my gosh.
Here's some music.
This is Elvis Costello with Oliver's Army.
Don't start the talking I could talk all night My mind is sleepwalking
Wow.
There was a checkpoint, Charlotte It didn't crack a smile But it's no laughing party When you've been on the murder mile Only takes one inch of trigger One more with one less white nigger I was always here to stay I was always on my way
Hong Kong yields up the grubs London is full of dabs The link could be in Palestine Overran by the Chinese land With the fires from the Mersey and the Thames in the town
But there's no danger It's a professional career Though it could be arranged We're just the waiting list The Churchill's here If you're out of luck or out of work We could send you to Johannesburg Oliver's army is here to stay Oliver's army are
I'd rather be anywhere else but here today
That's Elvis Costello with Oliver's Army.
A song whose existence I was first made aware of by the film E.T.
By Elliot's older brother singing the lyrics there when he comes into the bedroom.
Do you remember that?
He doesn't sing Oliver's Army.
Are you sure?
He sings Accidents Will Happen.
There's so many people to see, so many people you can check upon and add to your collection.
There you go.
Wow, that's weak Elvis Costello information there.
I've just heard I've been fired.
What have you been fired from?
From Six Music for that.
Oh, you have.
For getting that wrong.
That's right.
You know, the line that always sticks out in Oliver's army for me is Hong Kong is up for grabs.
London is full of abs.
I always think... Now you've been fired.
How does he know about abs from five?
You've been fired.
for that yeah for that saying abs um it simulated text the nation time again listeners before that record we were asking you whether you had any ideas for general things you say around the house that could also be applied to a high tension scene in the born supremacy or identity or ultimatum
You've got to imagine a sweaty, evil government-type undercover man pacing around in a room full of assistants and laptops and screens with confusing maps on them, shouting commands at them.
And he says stuff like, get me a tic-tac-toe.
We went in for a sneak and peek and stuff like that.
Activate the asset.
Release the funds.
Put the clothes in the tumble dryer.
Get me eyes on Landy, he said at one stage.
That's a real one.
Get me eyes on Landy.
Get me eyes on Landy.
That just means, can you get a video picture of Landy on the screen, please?
You see, it took a lot longer for you to say that.
Absolutely, and it made me sound pathetic.
Yeah.
It undermined my authority, whereas, get me eyes on Landy.
Yeah, ooh.
What if I said, code 10 abort.
Code 10 abort!
What would you say?
What's that?
Stop the code 10.
We know what abort means.
In that case it's quicker just to say stop, stop it.
Stop that.
Stop it.
You'd have to go to the book and look up number 10.
Everyone stop it.
Stop it.
Code one, code two.
Everyone.
Stop it.
Just stop everything.
Stop it.
Just to be sure.
At one stage in the born ultimatum, is that what it's called?
Yeah.
Somebody says, somebody give me a visual.
Yeah, I'd like to shout that more often, generally.
You know?
When would you say it in your everyday life?
Just at any point when ordering a sandwich.
What sandwiches have you got?
Well, we've got, get me a visual.
Get me a visual.
You know?
I just need it visually represented to me.
I don't have time to listen to words.
Right, so if someone's talking about like a famous person or something, you just say, shut up, get me a visual.
Get me a visual, yeah.
Not even the shut up, that's a waste of words.
What would you say for shut up?
Just code six closure.
Code six refers to the jaw area Yeah, locked up lock the lock down the mouth yeah
Lock down the fangs.
Lock down the mouth, get me a visual.
Join the fangs.
Join the fangs.
Fans?
I can't talk.
Go on.
So you were, Adam, thinking of some phrases that could be used in the same way.
Who put the forks in the knife drawer?
That's good.
The forks are in the knife drawer.
You know, that means the mission's gone wrong.
Who put the forks in the knife drawer?
That's true.
They've gone off the pattern.
Right, right.
They've mixed the cutlery.
This is not the plan.
Yeah.
You know?
You've deviated from set plan.
That's good.
Who put the forks in the knife drawer?
That's good, I like it more.
Get me some toilet paper!
That's good, that's the sort of thing in real life you might hear in a slightly panicked voice from behind a closed bathroom door.
That means the operation has gone totally wrong.
Yeah.
It's a total mess.
What are you actually asking for?
Get me some toilet paper!
Are you actually asking for something?
Toilet paper.
Toilet paper, I'm confused.
Here's another one.
Can somebody feed the cat?
I like that one in particular.
Yeah, that's my favorite of the three.
What does that mean?
It goes both ways.
Because there's a cat in the operations room.
I'd say that one should be said more like, okay gentlemen, let's feed the cat.
You know what I mean?
Let's feed the cat.
Who's gonna feed the cat?
Feed the cat.
I don't know what it means, but you could ease it in some sort of a tense military situation.
No one would question it.
Because at the very least it gives somebody an excuse to leave a room.
The one I used to like, I was really impressed by when I was a kid, was swallow that puppy.
What's that?
I don't know.
They say it in Top Gun I think.
Swallow that puppy?
In some 80s film they say swallow that puppy.
They never say that.
They do I promise.
Swallow that puppy.
I thought that was the most meaningful thing.
Oh wow.
Can't wait to use that.
Never knew what it meant.
I've heard women referring to their assets as puppies before.
Maybe it was very dirty.
Maybe.
Music time, uh, listeners.
I chose this one for you, listeners.
Uh, and, uh, I wonder if lots of other DJs have thought of playing this one.
I bet they haven't, because I'm so clever and they're so stupid.
But it's the Breeders, with New Year!
Come.
I'm the sun, I'm the new year I'm the way home, I'm the way home I'm the rain, I'm the new year I'm the sun I'm the rain, I'm the new year I'm the rain
Six music.
This New Year's Eve.
From seven, it's Adam and Joe.
The good thing about being from seven till ten is that, you know, it's the fun part of the evening before it all goes really bad.
And we'll be playing some really enjoyable music and having some fun little talking sessions.
So why not join us, yeah?
Cheers!
Hang on, yeah.
And from ten, it's the Queens of Noise.
ultimate new year's eve knees up we're gonna have bags of extra special guests you'll be alluding to miss it followed by chris hawkins through the night new year 08 on six on digital online bbc six music sometimes i feel like throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you Sometimes I feel like saying, Lord, I just don't care But you've got the love I need to see me through Sometimes it seems the going is just too rough And things go wrong no matter what I do Now and then I feel like life is just too much But you've got the love I need to see me through
I know my savior's love is real.
Your love is real.
Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air.
I know I can count on you.
Sometimes I feel like saying, Lord, I just don't care.
But you've got the love I need to know.
Every once in a while it seems like I am all alone You've got the love I need to see me through Occasionally my faults are great and friends are few Occasionally I cry, I know what must I do Occasionally I call out, master make me new You've got the love I need to see me through
sometimes i feel like throwing my hands up in the air i know i can count on you sometimes i feel like saying lord i just don't care but you've got the love i need to see me through
That was Source featuring Candy Statton with You Got The Love.
Before that you heard A Trail.
Wasn't it fun?
That was great.
I loved that trail.
And before that you heard my choice for you listeners which was The Breeders with New Year because you see in a couple of days time it will be the new year.
So I was thinking ahead about that.
That's the reason I chose.
That's clever.
That's good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's always thinking all ties in.
You see, it's like a theme song.
Um, yeah.
So we're Adam, I'm madam Buxton and uh, who are you?
My name's to Cornish Cornish.
The J man.
The J monster.
That's my album.
My hip hop name is Jay corn.
My album will be, we'll just have my face in an acorn.
Cornballs.
Cornballs, yeah.
We've never been big on nicknames throughout our lives.
It's true.
You know, I always wanted a nickname.
Like a street name.
Yeah, you never had a nickname, did you?
I'd call you Mince.
Mince?
Yeah.
Why?
I don't know.
With a T or like Mincemeat?
No, Mince is wrong for you.
What, you want kind of like a heart, like a tag?
Well, something real like that comes from my name, Adam Buxton, you know what I'm saying?
Like, you never, like you were never called...
anything apart from joe are you yeah joe's good enough joe sounds like a nickname ads people called me adz yeah that's all right it's not bad is it i wouldn't mind something a little bit more flash uh okay i'll see what i can do thanks i'll work on it during this next record uh maybe maybe some listeners could uh suggest some stuff and when we come back next week if you text during the week then we can pick up the text i wouldn't mind a few little nickname suggestions don't just immediately suggest loads of offensive ones okay because we won't read them out
I'm hoping people will send in ideas for Bourne-style lingo as well.
Absolutely.
That will be fun to read out on another show.
Here's the new Supergrass single.
It's released on the 14th of January.
It's only available on limited edition 7-inch and download, OK?
So don't try getting it on a non-limited edition.
Or what else?
Or a single?
Could they get it on a memory stick?
Don't know.
No.
Don't know.
Because that's my favourite way of listening to music.
It's their 27th single.
Buying a memory stick.
I love Supergrass.
This is called Diamond Hoo-Ha-Man.
I've got my hot nails I've got the jitter shakes But I'm a rule home man I do what it takes All I got Is all I need But what I really want Is in my dreams When the sun goes down I just count the seals
Bateman!
To the motel I love you all night long I'm a baby bear All I got Is all I need But what I really want Is in my dreams When you hold me down
That's the mighty Supergrass with Diamond Hoo-Ha Man.
This is Adam and Joe here on BBC6 Music.
Just a reminder, listeners, that this show is pre-recorded.
Yeah.
I'm just thinking we don't have to keep reminding them.
I feel like we do because it's the climate of fear.
Really?
At the BBC.
You think we should really make it totally clear in case people are just tuning in?
Yeah because you can you can get done for anything these days.
Really?
Oh yeah there could be really off com investigation like that.
This show is not live.
You know it should be.
I'll just say that every now and then.
Exactly it should be.
This show is not live.
Right the way through like a little bug you know sometimes if you watch a preview copy.
This show is not live.
Of a film it says property of Warner Brothers it's stamped across there.
Do not attempt to text or email
this show live.
This show is not live.
You see I thought that maybe reminding them once in a while would be slightly less annoying than that.
Not live.
But maybe you're right.
This show is not live.
Maybe that's the way to go, yeah.
It's difficult, though, to maintain any kind of dialogue when you're just saying that.
I can talk at the same time.
Can you?
Not live.
This show is not live.
Can you tell them about the news in between?
Yeah, here comes the news live.
The news is live.
Yeah.
Read by the news readers on digital radio and online BBC six music.
Boy killed by Rottweiler, Parky gets a knighthood and crack down on underage drinkers.
And in 6 Music News, Jazzy B gets OBE, Radiohead hit back, and Kook's almost split.
BBC News at 10.30, I'm Erica Fisher.

The dog was destroyed by police officers, but the boy died later in hospital.
Arise Sir Michael!
The chat show host has been awarded a knighthood in the Queen's New Year's honours list.
So has boffin Ian Wilmott, who created Dolly the sheep, and M&S boss Stuart Rose.
Sports presenter Des Linems among those getting an OBE.
I was no expert.
I never professed to be.
I used to ask the questions on behalf of the viewers.
That's how I always saw my role.
I was one of the viewers' representatives, and no specialist by any means, but it was a great honour to do it and a great privilege to be there always.
In other Six Music News, talks are to go ahead in Pakistan on Monday to decide whether or not January's elections will go ahead.
Politicians there say the murder of Benazir Bhutto on Thursday has thrown the plans into doubt.
Ms Bhutto was assassinated on Thursday during an election rally in the city of Roolpindi.
Home office figures show police forces seized 6,500 pints of alcoholic drinks from teenagers in England and Wales between October and November.
Home Office Minister Vernon Coker says there's more to tackling underage drinking.
The enforcement campaign was very successful, the police told us it was very successful, but it's only one part of a whole range of measures that we've got to try to deal with the problem that we know is out there.
And officials in San Francisco say the city's zoo is to reopen on the 3rd of January.
It was closed last week after a tiger escaped and mauled three visitors, killing one of them.
Now with 6music News, here's Joe Yaw.
Well, as you've just been hearing, the New Year's honours list has been revealed this morning and Soul to Soul founder Jazzy B is just one of the names on that list.
He's been awarded an OBE in the 2008 rundown and told us he's not sure about the top hat and tails looked too collected though.
My tool has been going on about, but I don't know if the dread is going to finish still, so I might have to bust a turbine, you know.
And plenty of other musicians acknowledged by the Queen.
Carly Minogue can now add OBE to her passport, while Jethro Taldi and Anderson and Martin Mills, chairman of the Beggars Banquet record label, have been named MBEs.
In other 6music news, Radiohead have hit back over claims next year's tour is too pricey.
The band's manager, Price Edge, tells ETimes this morning that the price is fair because people expect a fair quality of show from the band.
They can't afford to do that for any less or they'll actually be losing money.
The Kooks have revealed they almost broke up this year after bassist Max left.
Front man Luke says if he hadn't come back after he was ill, they would have jacked the whole thing in altogether.

la la la la la la la la la echo in the bunny men there with silver and before that you heard uh foals with balloons is that correct correct there we go this is adam and joe correct uh a very happy mid-seasonal celebration saturday morning to all of our listeners we hope you had a wonderful christmas day and we'll have a marvelous new year's business
I got a Christmas card from someone, well I assume it was a Christmas card, it just had the number eight on it, it was like a homemade card, but it was studiously, the whole point of the card was to avoid the issue of Christmas, so it didn't mention Christmas or any kind of... Why did it say eight on it?
Because it was like a limited edition, it was presumably the number, it was from an artist friend of mine.
Right, are you sure?
Not a serial killer?
No.
You're not number eight on some sort of list?
I'm pretty sure.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
Tell us more about the cards and I'll tell you about the card I'll tell you more about how you will be killed.
It just said inside happy midwinter.
And that doesn't sound... Buried in the snow.
Yeah.
Keep talking.
And then it said you will die pig at the bottom.
Really so probably you'll be killed and then you'll be fed to pigs.
Yeah no they didn't it didn't say you will die pig.
No no no.
It did say happy midwinter and it was it just
it sort of made it an issue for me.
I was like, oh man, am I really... I suddenly thought about all the times that I'd mentioned Christmas to this person, and I was thinking, do I really offend them every time I mention, like, anything religious?
Are they so anti-religious that they just don't want any mention of the word Christmas, do you know what I mean?
Like, I don't feel as if I'm particularly religious, but I'm not offended when people talk about Christmas, no.
The world's gone PC mad.
Yeah.
Listen, here's a track from Queen and David Bowie.
You will probably know which one it is.
The last time I sung this at karaoke, I sang it so well, everybody stopped and just stared and looked quite angry and bored.
Were you singing the Freddie Mercury parts or the Bowie parts?
Probably the whole thing.
I think the Bowie parts.
Right.
But you know karaoke's not for good singing.
No.
You know, people who sing well when you do karaoke, they're idiots.
It's a bit of a drag.
Do you know what I mean?
You're supposed to sing badly or funnily.
Were you in the UK when you sang the song?
I was, yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
But that's just a little anecdote.
Really, really small one.
Can you do a little bit for us now?
What's your favourite part of Under Pressure to do?
I can't do it now, I've got a sore throat!
Under pressure Pushing down on me Pressing down on you No man asked for Under pressure That brings you fear and doubt Stops your family in two
Oh
My brain's round the floor Inside the days it never rains but it falls
Turned away from it all like a blind man Sad offense, but I don't want to
You keep coming up with love, but it's so slashed and torn.
Why?
Why?
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
To care for the people on the edge of the night And I'll dance you to change our way of care
David Bowie and Queen with Under Pressure.
Do you remember the video for that?
You know what?
I don't think I do really.
What was it?
I think it was a performance thing.
I might be wrong but I've got an image in my head of people sat around a studio.
Maybe I'm just imagining the Top of the Pops performance and Legs and Co were just sitting down while they played it or something.
Was it from the album Hot Space?
Hot Space, yes it was.
Is that a Queen album?
yeah yeah yeah it had was it on there or maybe it was a sort of stopgap single I can't remember hot space wasn't bad it had give me your body body language body language wow that's my impression of the song that sounds like a great song this is adam and joe on bbc6 music happy saturday morning hope everyone's had a lovely christmas and all that it's time for a little bit more music now here's hot chick with ready for the floor
Do it, do it, do it now Say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it now
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now Say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it now Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now
Why don't you open up, we're tall I am ready, I am ready for a fall You stand up high on that blue wall Why don't you open up, we're tall We are ready, we are ready for a fall I can't hear your voice, do I have a choice?
I'm hoping with chance you might take the stance I can't hear your voice, do I have a choice?
You're sinking below, I'm using my force I'm hoping with chance you might take the stance You're my number one love Instead of calling up the wall Why don't you open up we're tall?
I'm ready, I'm ready for a fall Instead of calling up the wall Why don't you open up, retall We are ready, we are ready for a fall I can't hear your voice, do I have a choice?
I'm hoping with chance you might take your stance You're my number one
We are number one.
Ooh, it's a little abrupt there, isn't it?
What an extraordinary series of noises.
Bit rude.
A lot of those noises were created just with rubber bands with stationery.
Most of that song is actually played on stationery.
Is that a true fact?
Did you know that?
No.
Be good though, wouldn't it?
There's gotta be a lot of songs that have that kind of percussion in them.
Really?
Yeah.
Like lo-fi, home-developed percussion.
Well, The Beatles.
No, was it The Beatles or The Beach Boys?
No, The Beach Boys used the sound of people eating vegetables as the percussion for one of their tracks called Vegetables.
Has anyone ever used the sound where you get a flexi ruler and put half of it off the desk?
Right.
Flip it, let it vibrate, then rotate it so that it's dampened.
You would think so.
That was a hot chip, incidentally, folks, in case you were wondering with ready for the floor.
And this is Adam and Joe here on 6music.
It's very hot in the studio today.
It's very hot.
Yeah, the air conditioning's broken.
It's getting sexy.
We're down to our undies.
It's a little bit soporific though when you get heat like this, especially when it's cold outside.
I'm not soporific.
And in this country they can't handle, they can't get the balance right, you know what I mean?
England is not equipped for any radical change of temperature so as soon as it gets very parky everybody just blasts the heat right up, you know?
Like I got on the train the other day and it was so hot inside that carriage and you'd come out and you're all wrapped up and
freezing cold outside you get in the carriage and it's like tropical heat so you have to strip right down and then the train gets there you have to get you have to pull your clothes back on they should do you know like in sexy films when somebody comes into a room appears to be dressed in lots of clothing but it's all got one zip on it right and they take it off and they're neither naked or in their smalls yeah they should sell clothes like that in Britain.
What film has that been in?
What have I got?
I'll lend it to you.
Can I borrow?
Wouldn't that be great and then so everyone goes on the tube or on their public transport system if they don't live in a city with a tube and they unzip their things and then it's just like sexyville.
Sexy time.
yeah and only only sexy people would be allowed on oh well that's no good for me then it's good for me i say you as well i was just gonna say uh this is adam and joe uh on bbc6 music um is it time for even more music oh
Well, alright, yeah.
Seems a little... You know, it's a new year for Amy Winehouse coming up.
She's been in the papers a lot.
The other week in The Guardian there was an article about how she tries to avoid the paparazzi and it had a little vignette where Amy's walking along the street, she leaves her house, the paparazzi try to pat her and two old ladies go, leave her alone!
Leave her alone!
How dare you, leave her alone!
She's just trying to lead her life!
And it describes how the two old ladies help Amy Winehouse into the newsagent out of the way of the paps.
Then they go, you alright, dear?
You alright?
And she goes, yeah, I'm fine.
Alright, can we have a picture?
And they ask her for her pic photo on their mobile phone.
Did she oblige?
Yes.
Well that's alright, that's a happy story isn't it?
What a terrible hassled life though.
Yes.
She must be leading at the moment.
No respite.
Can't be fun to be her.
Even by the old ladies.
You know, is she courting it?
Has she asked for it?
Does she deserve it?
Or is it a terrible albatross round her neck?
Text the message board with your thoughts on that.
Here's Amy Winehouse with Stronger Than Me.
Don't you know you're supposed to be the man Not pale in comparison to who you think I am You always want to get through I don't care I always have to convert you
I'm okay
So please tell me why you think that it is a crime When I forgot to know the young love's joy I feel like a lady in you, my lady boy Yeah, you sure be stronger than me Yeah, you sure be stronger than me Oh, you sure be
Well done.
Well done, Amy.
Thank you.
Thanks very much.
Do you have something to drink?
No, sorry.
I shouldn't have asked you that.
Just have some water.
How awkward.
How awkward.
How very awkward.
That was Amy Winehouse.
That was a session recorded for Six Music on the 2nd of November 2003.
Wow.
Early days.
Early Winehouse.
I can't remember anything about 2003.
2003, we were just partying.
We were raving all year long, that's why.
We were spending all the cash that we got from that advert.
Yeah, exactly.
We pretty much didn't do anything that year.
Yeah, thanks Sir Fortimatic.
This is Adam and Joe on BBC6 Music.
Now this next track, listeners, is a punk classic and it's one that's close to my heart because I spent absolutely hours learning this because I can play this on my guitar, it's a four chord wonder.
Right.
Richard Hell and the Voidoids with Blank Generation but it's got very difficult lyrics to learn, you know, because they don't necessarily scam, they're brilliant lyrics.
And he, I remember seeing him just reciting the lyrics on some punk documentary and they just got him to sit down and recite them like a poem.
You know, I was saying, let me out of here before I was even born.
It's such a gamble when you get a face.
It's fascinating to observe what the mirror does.
When I die, it's to the wall that I set my face.
I belong to the blank generation.
And on he went like that.
It was sort of good, but the song's a bit better.
Here's Richard Helen, the voidoids.
before was even born.
It's such a gamble when you get a face.
It's fascinating to observe what the mirror does, but when I dine it's for the wall that I've set a place.
I belong to the blank generation, and I can take it or leave it each time.
Well, I belong to the generation, but I can take it or leave it each time.
The triangles were falling out the window as the doctor cursed.
He was a card too long, forsaken by the public eye.
The nurse suggested her dollars as I freed my first.
The doctor grabbed my protein, yelled God for the latest prize.
I belong to the blank generation and I can take it or leave it each time.
Well, I belong to the
Hold the TV to my lips there so packed with cash.
You carry it up lights and stairs and drop it in the vacant lot.
To lose my train of thought, you fall into your own tracks and wipe beneath my eyelids every passing night.
I belong to the blind generation and I can take it or leave it each time.
Well, I belong.
I belong to the blank generation and I can take it or leave it each time well I belong to the generation but I can take it or leave it each time BBC 6

What an extraordinary sort of record.
Very pictorial lyrics there.
A man driving a car into the sea and then turning back.
It's amazing what you can do with words, isn't it?
It is.
Describe scenes and things, but that sounds like an 80s record.
It does, doesn't it?
It sounds like, do you know what it reminds me of?
The kind of song that would pop up on a soundtrack to a very, very bad film.
Yeah or if you were quite young and were listening to it on your headphones you could really imagine that life was a film and I'm not a bad film.
I'm not damning the song by saying it would pop up on one of those bad soundtracks but sometimes you can get quite a good soundtrack to a very bad film.
Like do you remember the film Cool World?
Sort of half animated half real.
Hmm Ralph Baske business.
Yeah yeah yeah and there was a brilliant Brian Eno a couple of excellent Brian Eno songs which I believe
sort of first appeared on that album.
He went all creature-ish then.
I'm very soulful and sometimes that happens to me.
And there was some, a couple of good like, there was an original Bowie track for that one, do you remember?
Real Cool World.
Yeah, Bowie.
Quite enjoys that one.
He's always popping them out for the movies.
He loves popping them out for the movies, doesn't he?
Yes.
So Adam, just a quick bit of advert related info.
How, what distance do you like your flakes to be visible from?
Well, the flake is a very visible bar because of the yellow wrapper.
No, no, no, you've misunderstood me.
You're dandruff flakes.
Oh, I see.
What distance do you like them visible from?
I'd rather they weren't visible.
Really?
Yeah.
Would you be interested in a product which claims to make your flakes invisible, but that that claim is based on visibility of flakes when seen from a distance of two feet?
Oh, I see.
Would you be interested in that?
Have you seen that advert for the, I don't know whether you've seen it, listeners, for an anti-dandruff shampoo?
And it says at the bottom of the screen, claim based on visibility of flakes when seen at distance of two feet.
No way.
Yeah.
You'd have to have giant flakes, wouldn't you?
Oh, you mean, right.
So without the... Am I two feet from you now?
Yes, I am.
Probably more.
I'd say that was three to four feet.
A foot is the length of a ruler.
A standard ruler, 30 centimetres.
Well if you did have severe dandruff I would be able to see it at two feet.
Do you think?
Yeah.
No but this, not if I used this stuff.
Well no, hopefully not.
Yeah but if you came closer than two feet the flakes would begin to appear.
Yeah.
So it's good for first date stuff, isn't it?
Because he's not going to come too close, or she.
No.
But then if it gets down to the nitty gritty, it's lights off time for a hat.
Yeah, but they're saying, listen, we can control very big dandruff, but we can't guarantee to control micro dandruff.
So for this product to be useful to you, you'd have to have really big flakes.
No, that's what I'm saying.
Well, yeah, quite big flakes.
Yeah.
Like corn flakes.
They're quite big as flakes go yeah, it's just it just conjures up interesting images of like dates and dancing on the dance floor every time he he comes closer than two feet you integrate a little shove into your Routine right just to keep them at bay well You know the other thing if you couldn't afford the shampoo in question would just be to tell people to stay two feet away from you
all times.
Or just to stink slightly.
Right.
To encourage flatulence and just have a cloud of stench around you.
You could wear like a hoop, you know, with a strap around your shoulders to keep people more than two feet away from you at all times.
This is a very good idea.
If you didn't want to buy the shampoo.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
Thank you.
Oh, I chose this song.
Look, I just looked at the coming up next screen.
I hope you enjoy this one, folks.
I've actually chosen a lot of old music this week.
And, you know, usually I like to unveil some really hot happening underground music stuff, Joe, because that's kind of the person I like.
But this week I seem to have delved into the old bucket.
And here's a very old bucket indeed.
Neil Young with Cinnamon Girl.
I want to live with a cinnamon girl.
I can be happy the rest of my life with a single girl A dreamer of pictures I run in the night You see us together chasing the moonlight I see
see us together
You see your baby loves to tell

You look upset, you'll come down.
You look like Cable Guy dumped all of your crown.
I flow like smoke out of the chimney.
You'll never be in me.
You want to rap, but you're picking in hip-hop beat.
Oh my gosh.
The Beastie Boys, an irresponsible band from New York who are going around encouraging kids to steal the badges off VW Volkswagens and wearing them around their necks on a chain.
Was it the illegal actions of the Beastie Boys and their VW badge stealing antics that caused Mercedes to actually invent
badges that retreated into the hood of the car rolls-royce did that I think they used to have a what she called the silver lady or yeah she's called that they they had a special Rolls Royce where the where she went inside I'm not sure VW did or maybe lots of cars no I don't know about VWs because they never had a badge maybe BMWs but Mercedes you know the Benz because some a lot of rappers used to wear the Benz logo and
But they're a disgrace, the Beastie Boys, and they must be kept out of Britain.
Keep the sick rappers.
It's not even musical.
They just talk.
They just shout.
What's happened to melody?
They just shout.
And you know they're posh as well.
They're Ivy League educated, so they're not from the street.
They're trust fund kids.
They'll never get anywhere.
They have women in cages.
Do they?
At their shows.
That's disgusting.
Women in cages.
No, I think that's Public Enemy.
Well, they should be stopped.
Quick, stop them before they become famous.
For goodness sake.
This is Adam and Jo on BBC6 Music.
Thanks for joining us.
We hope you're recovering from your festive overload.
Everyone listening will probably be feeling quite bloated, so do take a macrobiotic yoghurt drink.
for that.
It's difficult, especially in the winter as well, because is it true to say that your body naturally bulks up a little bit anyway?
Yours does.
That's true.
Because of the cold weather?
Yeah, you actually get, if you go outdoors and come indoors, you get condensation on the inside of your body.
Right.
And that can cause too, that can cause too farting.
There we go.
Dr Cornish.
Dr. Cornish, right, let's have a little more music, then I'd like to make some predictions for the television in the new year.
Very exciting.
Here's a good song, this is a song that very much inspired the band Blur, I would venture.
Are you guessing, or do you know that?
I'm pretty sure, I'm pretty sure.
But you're guessing.
Well I'm sort of guessing, but it's everything you need to know about mid-period Blur, like a little character sketch, very well observed, with an excellent quirky little melody.
I'm talking about Pink Floyd with Arnold Lane.
They suit him fine On the wall, hung a toy
Distorted view See through baby blue He's got it all one way It's not the same It takes two to know Two to know
Now he's got a nasty sort of fuss
The door is blank, changing He ate it all one whole day It's not the same Takes two to know Two to know
I know
Good stuff!
That's Pink Floyd with Arnold Lane.
This is Adam and Joe here on BBC6 Music on Saturday the 28th of December 2007.
Before we heard that record Adam was saying that he thought there was a you know a little nugget of inspiration for Blur in that Pink Floyd track.
Yeah, you can hear the Damon Albron-isms of mid-period blur in there, even to the vocal style, I would say.
Speaking of blur, I've been interested in watching E4, you know, the Channel 4 cable channel.
What?
Yeah, it's a new channel.
They've got a show on called, I think it's called Mobile Unsigned.
It's kind of like The X Factor for indie bands.
I've seen it.
They repeat it on the main channel, I think.
Alex Zane presents it.
Alex Zane presents it and it's a kind of indie X Factor style competition between credible young bands.
The judges are Joe Wiley and some bloke from some record company.
Right, I've seen him sort of saying, if none of these bands is successful then I've totally wasted my time and the reputation of my company will lie in tatters.
Exactly, he's judge number two and judge number three is Alex James from Blur.
And it's interesting to see that kind of format
uh taken and and try they've tried to make it as cool as possible right do you know what i mean so there's an atmosphere in the show of of just embarrassment at disc and discomfort at the whole proceedings do you know what i mean because anyone with any any sense of um reality would uh kind of realize that those those competition shows are pretty stupid they're inherently uncool of course yeah
Yeah, and of course, so like a good band that gets respect from the music papers would never come into the scene on a show like that, would they?
No, exactly.
But the people that designed the show are aware of that credibility problem so they've done everything they can to shore it up against it.
You know, Alex Sane presenting, he's cool.
He is cool, he's a good looking sexy little man.
Yeah, the credible people on the panel.
Wylie, she knows what she's talking about.
Alex James knows what she's talking about.
But some of the bands find it very difficult to kind of respond in the right sort of a way in some of the VT packages.
yeah we when we came onto this show we thought it was stupid load of rubbish then we thought cool you know if it gets us attention uh you gotta get out there any way you can and then they kicked us off we thought oh it's rubbish but then they invited us back on and we thought cool you know
That sort of business.
They keep kicking people off and getting them back on again.
Giving people last minute reprieves.
That's one of the latest mechanics in those shows, right?
To mess with their heads.
To mess with their heads, yeah.
Then they had professional musicians giving them advice the other week.
Some bloke from the Wannadys, was it?
Someone like that.
A pair from the Wannadys?
Maybe, I don't know, but it's a peculiar show.
Do you think the band that will win it could get anywhere?
Well... You've got to be nice.
You've got to be charitable, haven't you?
If they're a good band, then they're good regardless of how they were launched.
Yeah, I don't know, but I mean... Would you find that a problem?
Buying a record by an album that had won, like, an E-Fort Talent competition?
I'd find it a problem buying a record by an album.
I just, I think it would just be so difficult for the album itself to become animated to the extent that it can produce a record.
Fair point.
There might be something about it in the news.
I was really trying to speak then.
I made one mistake.
I kept the words going in an order that made sense for minutes.
I'm really sorry.
And then I had one little slip.
I'm sorry man.
And that was it.
It's so hot in here.
Let's have some blondie.
Check out those shoes.
She looks like she stepped out of the middle of the mighty roof.
She looks like Sunday comics.
She thinks she's right.
She's too much
She's so dull, come on rip her to shreds She's so dull, rip her to shreds
Blondie with Ripper to shreds.
They made a mistake in the whole West End musical game, didn't they?
What?
There's a West End musical called Desperately Seeking Susan that uses Blondie music.
That's right.
What a miscalculation.
Listen, there might be a story about this in the news.
You're right.
on digital radio and online BBC six music boy killed by pet dog election dilemma in pakistan and new year's headache for commuters and in six music news which music styles honored by the queen coming up and maca duet with ozzy at the brits six music
For BBC News at 11.30, I'm Erica Fisher.
Police say a one-year-old boy killed by a Rottweiler was being looked after by his 16-year-old aunt.
They say the baby was snatched from the arms of his seven-year-old sister by the dog.
He died from his injuries at a hospital in Wakefield in West Yorkshire.
The dog was shot dead by the police.
Mourners in Pakistan have been visiting the grave of Benazir Bhutto.
The politician was killed during a rally on Thursday.
It's unclear whether elections planned for the 8th of January will go ahead.
Liz Doucette is in Islamabad and says politicians there are being cautious.
No party wants to be the one to announce it yet.
Certainly the government understands that the situation now is so volatile and sensitive, we're still seeing violence across the country, that they don't want to promote an even more unstable situation by saying too early that the polls have been put off.
In other six music news, chat show king Michael Parkinson's been given a knighthood by the Queen.
Also in the New Year's honours list are actors Julie Walters and Lesley Phillips, who've got CBEs.
Snooker champ John Higgins gets an OBE, as does Andy Trotter from the British Transport Police.
He says he's been getting lots of messages from friends.
texts, mostly congratulatory, lots of texts from rugby colleagues as well as police colleagues and I think a lot of pride that someone who's come from their own background has been honoured in such a public way.
And Virgin Trains has criticised Network Rail for organising engineering work on the West Coast Main Line on New Year's Eve.
Buses will replace trains between Northampton and Birmingham, adding about an hour to the journey.
Now with 6musicnews, here's Jo York.
Well, as you've just been hearing, the New Year's honours list is out and riding high at the top is Kylie Minogue.
She's all set to get her hands on an OB as the ceremony is held next year, so she's deeply touched by the award from the Queen.
Jazzy B is also on that list after succeeding on both sides of the Atlantic and nabbing Grammy and Soul Train awards.
He says he always felt soul-to-soul, never fully acknowledged here in the UK, though.
Well that's all set to change and also doing it for music this time round will be Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson and Martin Mills the
Chairman of the Beggars Banquet record label, they both get MBEs.
And in other 6Music News, a rather odd combo, but we're told Sir Paul McCartney is set to duet with none other than Ozzy Osbourne at next year's BRIT Awards.
On the night, Macca will be getting the Outstanding Contribution to Music Award, and plans are being put in place for the pair to wrap up by singing Bond-themed Live and Let Die.

Hey, this is Adam and Joe here on 6Music.
Almost the end of the year, folks.
It's almost over.
That's it.
Enjoy it while it lasts.
Yeah, because you know, you've only got a couple more days left.
Incidentally, we'll be with you on New Year's Eve here on 6Music to take you through from 7 o'clock till 10 p.m.
And after us, there's the Cheeky Girls with their New Year's Eve celebration.
They're called the Queens of Noise.
They're like the Cheeky Girls though, aren't they?
They are.
They're kind of like the indie version of the Cheeky Girls.
They're very attractive, the Cheeky Girls.
They are.
And so are the Queens of Noise.
Yeah, they are.
Hello.
Steady.
So, TV chat time.
Um, I've been worried this year, 2007, and far be it from me to open up another can of TV controversy worms.
Mmm, I love TV controversy worms, though.
I've been worried that some of my favourite reality shows are becoming self-aware.
Do you know, like when a computer becomes sentient?
Right.
The people who take part in these shows are aware of the format.
and they're playing up to them.
Oh, that's been happening for years.
Has it?
Surely.
I've been getting into Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares.
You ever watch that?
No, I'm not down with Ramsay.
It's very, very good.
Is it?
Yeah.
He takes a restaurant that's going wrong and he visits it and it's always a disaster.
The people are nutty.
The kitchen's a mess, the food's horrible, and it always sort of revolves around some delusion that the owner's got based on an experience in his past or some sort of psychological thing that one can often learn from in terms of ambitions and delusions and stuff.
Ramsay swears at them, he takes the mickey, he provokes them, he prods them.
brilliant TV they get furious then he introduces a special Ramsay menu he makes over the pub he launches a special it's always the same every week he does a special some sort of parade down the main square so all the villagers know about the new restaurant and then it's a triumph
Right.
It's always a triumph and it's fine.
It's like Ratatouille.
And yeah, the people make up, the rats run the restaurant.
Yeah.
But the more I've watched this, the more it seems that the participants know that that's the lay of the land.
They know the roles they have to play.
They know that the restaurant has to look a bit disastrous.
Yeah.
And it's beginning to be a bit contrived.
Now you quite rightly said that you think people just know this.
This is a kind of accepted part of viewing.
You would think so.
Like wife swap I've noticed it in.
Yeah.
How clean is your house?
I don't think those houses are that dirty until the camera crew announce they're going to come round.
Oh really yeah.
I think they muck them up.
Yeah.
A widdle here.
A pop there.
You know?
Use the sink as a toilet for a couple of weeks before Kim and Aggie come.
It would be sort of liberating in a way wouldn't it?
it would it would be almost be worth if you've got a normal house yeah just live like a happy tramp for a week exactly and get on telly presumably they give you a little bit of money for doing the show i think we should set up a restaurant this is a good idea and it would be awful yeah and we would not get on it would there'd be arguments right uh it would stink the food would be awful
Then get on the phone, call Ramsey.
We could make a little bit of money.
This is a good idea.
Yeah?
Yeah.
And then we'd play along.
At the end, we'd hug and stuff.
And then, A, we'd be back on telly.
Hug and stuff would be a good name for a restaurant.
That's what the restaurant's called, hug and stuff.
We'd be on telly.
We'd have a successful restaurant.
Gordon's dishes are very simple.
It wouldn't be much work.
I'm really excited about hug and stuff because it sounds a little bit like Haagen-Dazs.
So it's a sort of successful, you know... Do you know what?
It's not even a restaurant.
happy shop exactly you come in hug you and here's the problem with hug and stuff what we stink so you we smell because we're not properly clean we're not uh you know we don't wash it up this is the problem before the yeah before ramsey gets there act one this is the problem that ramsey would identify so he just deodorizes us he said he says uh look you're getting people in off the street you're promising them hugs and stuff off the effing street you off the effing street you silly effer but you have a load of bs yeah exactly
You silly C-word.
S-H-1-T.
Did he say the C-word?
No.
No.
And when he does, he means custard.
Right.
What are you talking about?
I'm just sensorizing.
That's the C-word in Ramsay's world is custard.
Anyway, lots of exciting ideas there for me and Adam in the new year.
You guys stink.
You need some deodorant.
you effing BS's.
Hugging stuff's never going to happen unless you learn how to wash properly.
Hugging stuff, we're going to copyright that by the way during this next record.
This is one of my choices.
It's a hip-hop band from the past called The Far Side.
This is called Passing Me By.
When I dream of fairy tales, I think of me and Shelly.
She's my type of hype, and I can't stand when brothers tell me that I should quit chasing and look for something better.
But the smile that she shows makes me a go-getter.
I have been going as far as asking if I'm cooking with her.
I just play love by ear and hope she gets the picture.
I'm shooting for her heart, got my finger on the trigger.
She can be my broad, and I can be her.
All I can do is stay up, back as kids We used to kiss when we played truth of the day Now she's more sophisticated, highly educated Not at all overrated, I think I need a prayer To get in her boot, and it looks rather dry I guess a twinkle in her eye is just a twinkle in her eye Although she's crazy steppin', I'll try and stop the stride Cause I won't have no more of this ass and be fine Time for me to voice my opinion Gonna be pretendin' she didn't have me Sprung like a chicken, face on my tail
She told me soon your little birdies gonna fly the coop She was a flake like corn and I was born not to understand But letting her pass, I proved to be a better man
Wait, no.
I swear my existence from a distance I decided Secretly a minor, wider, a letter, together And if it's my dear, my dear, my dear You do not know me, but I know you very well Now let me tell you about the feelings I've been for you when I try Or make some sort of attempt, I simp Damn, I wish I wasn't such a wimp Cause then I would let you know that I loved you so And if I was your man, then I would be true The only lying I would do was tend to bear with you Gonna turn to the one who loves you dearly Cause he has loved me tender But the latter came back three days later We turned to cinder
There's the Far Side with Passing Me By all the way from 1993.
Now Fat Lip was in Far Side, right?
Yeah, and Fat Lip, yeah, he's brilliant.
And if you go on the Spike Jonze DVD, the big, you know, the director's set, there's a set of DVDs by some of the world's greatest pop video directors, and Spike Jonze did one.
And there's a brilliant documentary that Spike Jonze did with Fat Lip.
Did I say Jones?
Yes you did.
There's a brilliant documentary that Spike Jones did with Fat Lip and it's all about him leaving that band and having a bit of a mental breakdown.
That's right.
Copping off with a lady of the night who turned out to be a fella of the night getting horribly teased.
But yeah, the Far Side split.
But Fat Lip did release a solo album that's brilliant.
It's called The Loneliest Punk.
But it was only released in the US.
And you can get it on, obviously, Amazon.com.
But if you're a fan of Far Side and you haven't checked out Fat Lip's solo album, The Loneliest Punk, well worth... Maybe you can download it off of the iTunes, I don't know.
But well worth checking out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's good, man.
He's wicked.
He's wicked.
That's what people say, right?
Is it?
I think so, yeah.
He's wicked.
You know, one of the things in the... We were talking about the pantomime the other day.
They'd absorbed loads of humorous cultural reference points.
pop culture references yeah it's an important uh element aspect of panto you can sort of get a feel for you can take the nation's comedy pulse by the stuff that seeps into panto like a couple of years ago or maybe just a year ago even it would have been loads of little britain references but in the panto this year it was like one of the big jokes was having the fairy godmother
be talking very posh, but then kind of drop into street slang in it.
A little bit like the Armstrong and Miller sketch, you know, with the posh... Oh, do you think?
Yeah, I would say almost certainly, they nicked it off there.
That's just illustrating the schizophrenic nature of modern Britain, with half the population speaking posh, the other half peaking, speaking a kind of Jamaican kind of slang, and there's no in-between anymore.
No, no.
But it's beautifully illustrated, of course, by the Armstrong and Men.
Yeah, that's a good sketch.
It's as good as it gets as an illustration goes.
Hey, this is Adam and Joe on BBC6 music.
Here's a little more music, you know, because that's what the station's all about.
This is New Order with World.
Hear me talk, but never speak So I'm stepping out of time Because breaking is a crime And it may all be too late
Can you feel it?
If we could buy it now
I turn sideways to the sun And in a moment I am gone That's the price of love Can you feel it?
If we could buy it now
If we could buy it now That's the price of love How long will it last?
That's the price of love That's the price of love If we could buy it now
That's the price of love If we could
That's New Order with World, The Price of Love.
It feels as if you couldn't really bring out a new song that was as upbeat as that nowadays, do you know what I mean?
I mean, that's obviously nonsense, but it's so shiny and special, that song.
When did it come out?
Like, early 90s, that one.
1993, the same year as the Far Side record we played before it.
There you go.
It was a more hopeful time.
It was before the world changed, Adam.
changed forever on change forever on that fateful day on the fateful day fat take that split yeah yeah settlement John BBC six music time for this from Adam oh yeah well I just noticed that I didn't choose this but I'm very happy to see it here it's a session track from John Cooper Clarke
He's fantastic.
If you've never investigated John Cooper Clarke, I would strongly recommend that you do a poet, a kind of punk poet, I suppose, from Manchester.
And the very first of, well, not a particularly long line, but you remember who was the guy Murray Lachlan Young?
Was that his name?
Don't know.
He was supposed to be turning poetry into rock and roll for a while in the early 90s, I think, and it was supposed to make it sexy again.
Make poetry sexy.
But it didn't really work.
But John Cooper Clarke, I reckon, did make it sexy.
I can make poetry sexy.
Go on, make some poetry sexy right now.
I'll do it during the song.
I'll write a sexy poem.
Are you going to write a sexy poem?
Yeah.
Finish the whole show with your sexy poem.
What rhymes with legs?
Okay, while Joe's composing his sexy poem, here is John Cooper Clarke with a poem about readers' wives.
Like, it's a poem about something dirty but he makes it brilliant using his brain.
Check it out.
Negs.
Make a date with the brassy brides of Britain.
The altogether ruder readers' wives.
Who've put down their housework and their knitting At the doorway to our dismal daily lives From fable on top scenarios of passion Nipples peep through holes in leatherette They seem to be saying in their fashion I'm freezing Charlie, have you finished yet?
In latex pyjamas with bananas going ape Their identities are cunningly disguised By a six inch strip of insulation tape Strategically stuck across their eyes Cold flesh the colour of potatoes In an instamatic living room of sin All the required apparatus
Too bad they couldn't get her head in.
Wives from Inverness to Inner London.
Prettiness and pimples co-exist.
Pictorially wife swapping with someone.
Who's happily married to his wrist.
That was John Cooper Clarke with Reader's Wives.
That was recorded for a John Peel session way back in October 1978.
I finished the poem.
Oh, excellent.
I was hoping you might.
You were challenging me to make poetry sexy.
Are you ready?
Yeah.
She was a sexy woman.
Her body was all nice.
Sexy legs and sexy face and sexy breast twice.
That was nice.
I thought you were going to talk about the legs.
No, I couldn't think of a rhyme better than pegs.
That wasn't as good.
You know, I went through I scrapped a lot of versions.
That's lovely.
Is that almost a haiku?
Probably not.
Sexy breast.
I don't know.
Hey listen, thanks very much for listening this week everybody.
Are we gonna have one more record before we go?
I think we should do shouldn't we?
I think we should.
It's been a little bit rambly and shambolic more than usual this week.
Everyone's tired after the Christmas
period our audiences brain cognitive functions will be impaired so actually we purposely made this show a little more ramshackle just to fit in with them yeah yeah exactly where I'm the nation's brain wave the nation's brain waves exactly that's the thing about our show it's all very very tightly scripted
But we'll be back with you live properly next week with a proper Song Wars.
The theme of Song Wars is going to be jingles.
No, ringtones.
Ringtones.
We're going to make a million.
So they'll be short but incredibly powerful.
But until then, here's some more music, and it is The Jamp by The Mohawks.
Hey, thanks for listening and we're sorry.
I hope that's their sign off and not my introduction.
Hiya, this is Laze, live and direct from the heart of London's fashionable West End, but in a minute I'll be hitting the road to the home counties.
