Six music today from to John Holmes from midday And now it's Adam and Joe
You know there's never gonna be a cherry face inside this crowded room Think you're the f**k now Because my lingo is so out of the loop Why yes I'm out of the loop Let's turn our nose up Become us now because we're treading our roots Cause we're so f**king cool Oh get the act up You know you geeks are collaborating The city we speak of Cause you don't know why it's scary
I wish I could feature some red villains Or maybe I could get a reaction Or maybe even some visual expression But it's not your fault if you really
I know you can, I know you can, I know you can But you always get what you want I know you can, I know you can, I know you can
Attack, attack, my disposition Your tennis shoes, I get your tennis shoes Whatever am I to do?
I wish I could feed you some Ritalin So maybe I could get a reaction Or maybe even some facial expression But it's not your fault if you really don't wanna Cause you don't know what you want I know you can, I know you can
I know you can, I know you can, I know you can But you don't always get what you want
that's the fantastic operator please what was that one called that's get what you want and their debut album yes yes vindictive is out March 17th I'm a big fan of them as some listeners might know they're all under five which is amazing when they think about it is amazing
I bet you know they've only been speaking for two or maybe three years tops and then they form a band and then they you know they go through so many different phases kids these days you know kids are doing sort of older type things younger and younger as human civilization evolves soon though there will be bands of five-year-olds so what are you saying operator please and not five no they're how old's the drummer the drummers tiny
Right, his voice hasn't broken yet.
Physically tiny.
Yeah, because he's a child, not because there's anything wrong with him.
But he's basically a child.
A question for one of the six music listeners would be, what was the youngest charting band ever?
I'd be interested to know that.
And if any of the listeners could tell us that, then I'd be pleased.
Well, there's something to look forward to.
Youngest charting band ever.
What would you guess that would be?
Oh, well, what about the St.
Winifred School Choir?
I knew you'd say that.
It doesn't count.
It's a choir.
It's a manufactured thing.
I mean, obviously they're all manufactured.
It's manufactured by a church and a love of God.
No, I want a band that's like more of a traditional band.
A proper band.
I don't want a St Whitford school choir.
Who are the other big school choirs?
Well, in terms of charting, what about Alan Jones?
Is he a band?
He's a one man band.
He's an artist.
I want more of a band like Hanson.
You know what I mean?
What about Hanson?
Well, yeah, but... They were pretty young.
They were pretty young.
Is that the drummer or the lead singer?
No, I can't remember.
He was the good looking one.
That's all I remember.
Who was the sort of slightly chubby drummer?
Munty.
Munty, that's right.
Munty Pipkins.
He was very young.
Yeah.
Hey, this is Adam and Joe on BBC6 Music.
Happy Saturday morning.
It's the weekend, a time when there's no law, no rules.
Go out, spend money, have fun, get drunk, fall over.
Do what you want.
Yeah.
Yeah, anarchy.
And I think maybe I felt the beginnings of summertime stroke spring in the air.
Did you?
Today.
It's nice and mild.
Didn't you think that?
Yeah.
When you went out of the house?
Yeah.
You don't care at all about the weather, do you?
I'm not as weather obsessed as you are.
I love thinking about weather.
I love the weather.
I love the weather.
I'm confused because I bought a pastry when I came into the studio from this shop across the road.
I'm thinking, I never have a pastry Saturday morning.
I like pastry.
I bought one.
And now I've lost it.
I put it down.
I can't remember where.
It might be in the shop still.
Shall I go to the shop to find out?
No.
I will!
I can't live without the pastry!
Hey, here's some de la sole with I know.
Greetings girl and welcome to my world of phrase and right up to bat Is it Daisy A.D.
about to walk top stage?
So wipe your lotto's on the mat Hip Hop love this is and don't mind when I quiz you a ball meant to be for the sun But clear your court cause this a one man sport in homes Better for this than plug one Don't have to worry about me squashing other deals Cause they've already been squished Freeze the frame of our moves the same wish we can control
Stay with me, I know this, but not because of all my earthly treasures or regardless to the fact that I'm past the noose, but because
May I cut this dance to introduce myself as the chosen one to speak.
Let me lay my hand across yours and aim a kiss upon your cheek.
The name's plug two and from the soul I bring you the daisy of your choice.
May it be filled with a pleasure principle in circumference to my voice.
About those other jennies I reckon with Lost them all like a homework excuse This time the magic number is two Cause it takes two not three to seduce My destiny of love is brought to an apex Sex is a mere molecule In this world of lust that I have for you It's true
Now it's time to let this rhyme style get somewhat poured in the mold.
Hold my hand and we'll paint my plantation of daisies for a bouquet of salt.
Like to be dead?
Like at the cut of a rim.
Take it as filth to the rim as in grim.
Squeeze your stoop like Betty Boop then make camel alphabet soup and spell plug ones within.
Throw it marching the same when transistors go play.
Coming to bed is the move.
Doby sound will be then top crown when I put the needle into your groove.
I got a good thing and in full swing I'll show this and give words or letters But even without those three I know you'd be close to me cuz
It's I again and the soul that I send Is taking steps to reach your heart Any moment you feel alone I can fill up your empty part We can ascend till we reach De La Heaven And in a spin we'll hit the top ten Then we can meet Mr. Stuckey And pass brother luck you will preach Let the wedding be Shot by an arrow of two Through a string of a G clef My dear I claim your death And if you can hear me by golly gee True Goy is ready for what you possess
We could live in my plug-tube home And on Mars where we could be all alone And we make a song for two picture-perfect things And I sing of how
Dela Soul, they're here on the Adam and Joe show on BBC Radio 6 Music.
They're a hip-hop band from America and they were one of the first bands, this is for younger listeners, to kind of use samples that creatively weren't they?
Yeah, certainly.
Unexpected samples, you know what I mean?
From not necessarily, uh, black sources, you know?
They were one of the first black groups to sample a white band, as far as I know.
Uh, that's a Steely Dan sample, isn't it, there?
Yeah, yeah.
From Peg.
Although, having said that...
Grandmaster Flash was sampling... Yeah, I think you're probably... You're probably wrong there.
I might say it's dangerous to be so racially secretive.
It's very racist, isn't it?
In your analysis.
It's not racist, it's just unnecessarily divisive.
I think it's probably racist.
I think you're fucking racist.
I'm gonna get fired.
Oh, no.
Yeah, because I... You're very racist.
I'm very racist, aren't I?
Yeah, I'm probably one of the most... You've noticed how racist you are.
I'm only very racist.
It's a shame, really.
You know what?
I smell very racist as well.
That's a racist thing to say.
It is racist.
uh who was the guy that did um uh planet rock uh rock rock planet rock i don't know i don't remember here that because that samples craft work of course and that was very much before de la sol
Anyway, there you go.
Lovely de la Soul.
Now you've got a track coming up now that you've chosen for the listeners, haven't you?
This is kind of a Radio 2-y track, but it's really nice.
It's kind of an old one.
And the story behind this is when I was a kid, I suddenly decided I went to see Oliver in the West End.
at the Albury Theatre maybe the Aldwych can't remember it was a very spectacular production wow and i saw all those kids about my age dressed as little urchins yeah jumping around with everyone looking at them and applauding them and i thought
I want to be like that.
I want to be an urchin.
I want to be an urchin and jump around on stage and have people applaud me.
How old were you again?
Uh, 23.
Yeah.
No, uh, probably about nine or 10.
Okay.
Maybe 11.
Right.
Uh, so I got my mum to take me to audition for that very production.
No.
I think she might've seen that they had, uh, you know, openings for urchins coming up.
I didn't have any acting training.
Urchin openings.
Yeah.
But I decided I wanted to be an actor.
Yeah.
So I went to audition for it.
And the song I learned is from Oliver was Where is Love?
Do you remember that one?
Little Mark Lester in some kind of a basement staring through the bars.
It's so high pitched.
It's so high pitched.
Yeah.
I think they actually get a lady to to dub it over in the in the film musical.
You've never told me this before.
That's true, sir.
You're a little thespy pop idol kid.
So I practised and practised and practised that song and I had fantasies about about getting the part.
And you know, I told my mum all about my fa... Yes, mummy, when I get the part, my favourite thing will be this, the bit when I'm in the undertakers and I toss all the coffins over and run around.
That bit's going to be really good.
My mum went, yes, yes it is.
Anyway, I went along I was so nervous.
Yeah, I was bobbing my pants And I went on stage and I sung I don't know I have no memory of it, but I'm sure it was the worst Possible version of where his love ever sung by a human being Wow, because all I got was a thank you.
Thanks very much
I've never heard from them.
No we've got a tall urchin, thank you bye.
Yeah so we're trying to get urchins under six foot.
They've got to be smaller than Fagin.
Anyway so when I heard this version of that song by an old time karuna lady, Irene Crowl,
This is a kind of a jazzed-up version of it.
It's sort of exorcised various problems.
Yeah, did it exorcise them or did it make you curl up into a ball in the corner?
No, because she sings this so beautifully.
And I wanted to put it early in the show because it's a very soothing song.
It's kind of got a bit of the radio too about it.
If you're still in bed, this will be really, you know, cuddlesome and warming.
This is Areen Kral.
Is it Kral?
I don't know.
She sounds like a monster from Doctor Who with Where Is Love.
This is Kral.
Where is love?
Does it fall from skies above?
Is it underneath the willow tree that I've been dreaming of?
Is he Who I close my eyes to see Will I ever know that sweet hello
That's meant for only me Who can say where he may hide?
Must I travel far?
Till I am beside the someone who I can mean something to Well
is love Oh she's going on she's got more hasn't she found it's just it's just in the uh lavi by the books there you just left it there that song was sung by Krull who was Krull in the film Krull
He was a big skull man, wasn't he?
Was he?
With the glaive.
What?
Was it called the glaive, the weapon he had in Krull?
The glaive.
I think it was called the glaive.
It was sort of a spiky boomerang type thing.
There was Krull.
I was more of a Hawk the Slayer fan.
Really?
Yeah.
Crawl's much better than the Slayer.
That would be the most pathetic argument.
The most obsolete argument in the history of arguments.
Let's have it later on.
This is Adam and Jo on 6music.
The point of 6music is it's an eclectic mix of music.
And that was the eclectic mix.
You don't have to justify your selections, man.
You know, you've got a lot... Not to you, but I bet there's some grumbly Merwins out there having a grumble.
You've got a bit of, you know, you're half Michael Ball.
Grumbly Merwins.
I find that insulting.
I've got an enlarged ball.
One of my Michael Balls is swollen.
You are more than half ball.
Let's have some proper music, or let's have a trail just to make it clear where we are and who we are.
Sunday Afternoons on 6.
From 1 the Music Week brings you the exclusive first play of Elbow's collaboration with Richard Hawley.
Hear new tracks are fixed for the first time.
From 2 it's Philippa TJ.
It's another dose of the varied selection we've come to love about the 6 music charts.
We tried the cultural Steve show, that didn't work.
That died.
From three, Stephen Merchant.
I think that some kind of consumer rights Steve show is the way forward.
And from five, it's Stuart McConie's Freak Zone.
Weird and exotic music for the next three hours.
Strange and beautiful and unusual sounds, we hope.
The sound of Sunday Afternoons on six.
Six music.
I got lady figures, baby.
I got kid gloves, baby.
I got high.
And I know you never came first, baby I'm so tired of my guns and my vanity I left the trade I'm in for some sanity And I know it didn't come too easy It didn't come easy to you either
I bet you didn't know that I could treat you right That underneath the armor there's another good girl She's standing with a suitcase ready to run in case you're wondering Why she is so good to come and go Why she is so good to come and go She might be loose, she might be old She might be scared as hell She might not be so bold She might not be so bold
I got kid loves, baby I got heart I got heart I got lady fingers, baby I got kid loves, baby I got heart I got lady fingers, baby I got kid loves, baby
Was she singing there?
I could have sworn she's sung.
I've got I've got Hitler's baby.
I've got ladyfingers.
Yeah, I've got Hitler's baby.
That's luscious Jackson with ladyfingers.
What was the film with all Hitler had all the kids?
Oh, the boys from Brazil.
Yeah.
So it's a reality.
Yeah, he has been cloned that much we know.
Oh, that's horrible.
Oh, that's a horrible thought.
Why is she so excited about having like the ladyfingers though?
They're sort of wafers, aren't they?
That you pop on trifles?
Are they?
I thought they were a sort of sea urchin.
Maybe they are too, like an anemone.
Yeah, they tickle you when you go skydiving, skydiving, sea diving.
That's Luscious Jackson anyway there.
That was from 1999.
Those were the year.
Yeah, that was nine years ago, Numbers fans.
No, is it more longer than that?
Yeah, well done.
Eight plus one.
Yeah.
Well done.
Now this is Adam and Joe here on Six Museum.
We've got to resolve Song Wars from last week.
It's not looking good for me.
Is it not?
No, I'm going to lose.
Well, they were all upset about the fact that your foreign song, they reckon, sounded too in debt to the Conchords.
Too obvious.
Mine was just too obvious.
I thought it was good.
But we're going to find out, definitively, who's won, and we'll play the winning song.
It didn't sound like you meant that.
Well, listen, I thought that was fairly magnanimous after all the Song Wars history that we've had.
That's true.
You're being very generous.
We're going to resolve Song Wars in the next 10 or 15 minutes after the news.
But before that, here's some more great music for you.
This is Al Green with L-O-V-E Love.
Then I decided that I would write it all of my love Then it appeared to me that you wasn't happy And that's for sure, positively That's what the world is made of
I can't explain
You can always depend on me to give you up.
There's a fire in my soul.
There's a story that can't be told.
Can't you feel it burning more and more?
Can't explain this feeling Can't you see that salvation is beating I would give my life for the glory
A sweet story I thought I had Baby, time will bring us together I could be such a happy fellow But, Lord, love is something that you shouldn't find
That's Al Green.
He's a reverend man and he loves to sing the soul songs and that was L-O-V-E love.
There's a two hour documentary about him floating around telly land on cable.
There's a weird channel called Main Street.
You love Main Street.
You've got a satellite dish.
It has good musical documentaries on it.
It's like Sky Arts, isn't it?
It's a bit like that.
But I think it actually is and it turns into mainstream.
Oh really?
Well every now and then I've got wicked documentaries on it.
I'm not sure about that.
I'd never seen a proper one on Al Green before.
He looked quite old.
But he was, and wow, he's amazing to listen to.
He's got a very, very colourful manner and gesticulates brilliantly.
And you know he's a preacher so he knows how to speak.
He knows how to spin a yarn.
That's right.
Well he's had a colourful life though, goodness sake.
Yeah.
What's he done?
Thrown, you know, pans of boiling fat at ladies?
Has he?
Something awful like that.
Oh dear, oh dear.
I'm focusing on The Darkest Hour.
Because obviously he's done many wonderful things as well.
Of course, including doing that song.
Just reporting the facts.
What do you write that song then?
I wonder, like, did he, when I've got stopped to stop sort of, um, highlighting our ignorance and well, we're just asking questions.
You don't know.
Yeah, but our listeners can tell us though.
Can't they?
Did he write that's what listeners are for or did Edwin Collins, right?
Edwin Collins wrote it.
Yeah.
Back in time.
Orange juice did, by the way, I was talking earlier on about who wrote planet rock.
That was Africa.
Bambata.
bumbata we've done that song have you got an african bumbata album bumbata yeah bumbata bumbata bumbata bumbata bumbata that's like an ancient gay village body barter um have you got any albums by bumbata
Have you?
Oh dear.
I don't think so, no.
No.
I know what you're thinking.
What?
They're all bad things.
Just imagining a sort of medieval village.
Yes.
It was a tragic day.
Okay, now before it's too late, it's time for the news.
on digital radio and online BBC 6Music.
Maggie Thatcher admitted to hospital, council's bid for post office control and smoking warning for parents.
BBC News at 9.30, I'm Nicky Cardwell.
Lady Thatcher has spent the night in hospital at the former Prime Minister whose 82 is undergoing medical checks.
Andy Moore is outside St.
Thomas's for 6Music.
Well, we had a very brief update from the hospital about an hour ago, simply saying that Lady Thatcher remains in a stable condition.
And that adds to what they said in the early hours of the morning, that she was brought here late last night, that she was having precautionary tests, and that she would be kept in hospital overnight.
Police in Jersey investigating abuse at a former children's home are preparing to break into a second chamber.
Last night officers finished clearing rubble from the first cellar at the Eau de la Guerin site and a specially trained police dog found traces of blood in a stone bath.
Five people have died in a head-on collision in Gloucestershire.
The accident happened at the A429 between Moreton in Marsh and Stowe on the Wold.
Another four people remain in hospital with serious injuries.
A local authority is on the verge of becoming the first council to take over the running of post offices, which have been closed.
Essex County Council wants to buy them for about one and a half million pounds.
A leading hospital says up to a third of the children it treats for some conditions are ill because their parents smoke.
Dr Steve Ryan, the medical director of Alderhay Hospital in Liverpool, says people could dramatically cut cases of bronchitis, asthma and ear infections if they stopped smoking in front of their children.
We now have difficulties for people to give up smoking even if they don't have children and I know how much parents care for their children, how much they love them and you can imagine almost any other threat of this nature they would be outraged about and they would do something about it but for some reason with cigarettes we still seem to have this problem.
And workers at a steel plant in Bosnia ended up being treated for food poisoning after eating a special meal provided by the firm to mark its health and safety day.
The company spokesman said 90 staff were ill, but only one was hospitalised.
Six Music Sport and the England and Wales Cricket Board say they'll ban any player who joins the Rebel Indian League for a whole season.
Their registration in England will be blocked.
And a quick look at the weather.
A cloudy day across England and Wales with rain at times.
Heavy rain clearing to sunshine and showers across Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Six Music News, more in an hour.
Six Music.
On the Music Week, we bring you the world's first play of Guy Garvey and Richard Hawley's collaboration.
Hear their duet for Elbow's new album for the first time on the show.
Plus, MGMT and the Kills look forward to South by Southwest.
That's the Music Week with me, Julie Cullen and Matt Everett.
Tomorrow from one.
Six Music.
Adam and Joe from Sixty Music.
A-fantastic is a moment they want Fantastic is a-fantastic
We can be here to rock the night we go
Christmas crackers.
That's like walking from different floors of a big record shop, isn't it?
You know what I mean?
I know what you mean.
Going up the stairs and you're getting a little bit of the classical department, the music they're playing is bleeding out.
And then the R&B department, you can hear what they're playing.
Or like wandering around the corridors of a music college.
Yeah.
Or some kind of school where they've got music day.
And then meanwhile, someone's thrown a hand grenade in the drum department.
and that's gone off that's a particular bracket of music isn't it i'd put it in the same i like to pigeonhole bands i don't think you're quite right you know what bands love to be pigeonholed yeah who doesn't categorized and i'd put that in the same pigeonhole as um the polyphonic spree yeah it's a it's a uniquely early noughties pigeonhole that's right it's about to be um sealed
Yeah, well that was from 2004.
That was the Go Team with Lady Flash.
And this is Adam and Jo here on BBC6 Music.
Lady Fingers, Lady Flash.
I know, it's all about the ladies.
But right now... It's time for Song Wars.
The war of the songs.
A couple of tunes by a couple of prongs.
Which will you vote for?
Which one is the best?
We're putting our songs to the listener test.
So check it out.
You know, I did a gig this week, a stand-up gig, and one of the other performers there, Dan Clark, very talented young man, he has a little routine in his act where he does, like, samples that he's obviously conjured up from GarageBand.
And he's used a lot of the same little garage band loops that we use.
You know what I mean?
Like he used that.
I think that little loop there that I used for that song was jingle and also our text the nation.
He played that.
I thought you can't do that.
That's the text the nation jingle.
Of course it's not.
It's just a garage band loop.
Yeah.
We better get those, uh, these song wars songs up somewhere to download soon.
Otherwise, but what do you do if you, if you've got like, I mean all, none of those garage band loops are copyright, they're all copyright free.
That's the whole point of garage band, right?
So once you've sung over them, is that then does the copyright then become yours?
Does it revert to you because you've created a new thing out of it?
Or does the copyright of your singing revert to,
iTunes to apples well they haven't got any copyright on those loops I don't know I don't know I don't understand anyway last week it was song wars was back after a little break and the challenge was for Joe and I to write a foreign song a song in foreign about a lady a film film ladies of some kind and Joe went for what did you do
I went for a kind of smorgasbord of French actresses.
We've had a few emails about it.
Can I read some of them out?
Go on then.
This is from Philip Sübemann.
Sübemann?
No, Süthman.
I don't know.
Süthman, yes.
Hi guys, greeting from the lovely city of Bamberg.
This week's Song Wars.
I thought it was one of the best wars ever.
I liked both tracks very much and I'm quite torn about my vote.
Joe's song has such a feel-good touch to it and I caught myself whistling along while walking around in the spring sun.
Gets you in a good mood instantly.
I'm only reading this out because it's really nice about my song.
That's nice, that's very upbeat.
Joe's songs in general are very well produced, always very fitting to the atmosphere and just enough background instrumentation.
Unlike Adam, who tends to go a bit mad and overdo it.
That's true.
I'm only reading this out because it's the one that's nice about my one.
Adam's song was also very funny.
I love the impression of Penelope's film titles and lyrics were a bit more creative than the ones of Mr Cornish.
That's as good as it gets for me.
We have other emails, like from David Clark.
My vote this week goes to Adam for his depraved tale of lust and obsession.
I imagine, I imagine with a huge 4-4 kick behind it, this tune would go down well at some sort of filthy cave rave for criminals in deepest, darkest Spain.
Bumbata.
Yeah, Joe's was good too but the word on the street is he's a copycat.
That's unfair I think.
This one from Paul Fung.
I think Adam's song is the clear winner this week He's always trying to do something different with the allotted task.
Whereas Joe seems a bit complacent Adam's work goes beyond song wars and could perhaps be released in a compilation or played in an art installation That's very nice played in an art installation
You could play fart noises in an arsed installation.
But let's find out who won.
In an arsed installation.
Exactly, that would be ideal.
Right, I'm going to read this out this week.
Usually you get to do it.
Song Wars results.
Here's the piece of paper, ladies and gentlemen.
And the winner is, oh!
Oh wow, it's a trouncing.
I've won it, ladies and gentlemen.
93%.
You know, still not the biggest trouncing in the history of Song Wars by any stretch.
You've trounced me with much more than that on many occasions.
But there you go, I can't pretend that I'm not delighted.
Thank you very much, listeners.
I can't pretend that I'm not furious!
Now you're away next weekend, is that right, Joe?
Yes.
We have a guest presenter.
Guest co-presenter.
Who I'll tell you about a little bit later on in the show.
And we're also going to do a guest presenter song wars as well.
That's right, next week.
Yeah, so you get like about a month off song wars, you lazy so-and-so.
Only, I might have written a song today.
Oh really?
Okay.
Or I might not.
It might not be a song.
Yeah, you can unveil that later on.
But right now it's time for me to play my winning Song Wars song.
This is about Penelope Cruz and it's all in Spanish and it's slightly demented.
But I won!
I can smell this person's soul and I want to get to know him, you know.
Penelope Cruz Me gusta si estaba en van de la sky Y cótica y blue Y volver que no el visto Y otros no el visto Cem pares se llevo taro Spero el ya es bonita I am Penelope Cruz Hola yo tengo pelo negro Y ojos hermosos pero peneno Yo tengo estaría Alegre conduciero Un allegro y después Haca una nierda Gigante
Oh, pardon me, this place is too big.
Hey, Caramba, you're in the wrong place.
Ooh, Penelo P. Cruz, mi llamo si, mi star gas, mi estañas buero, nechos para ti Ooh, Penelo P. Cruz, mi llamo si, esta baqui, sa jara pica, un corral, mi esta doli con mi ques.
There you go.
That's my Penelope Cruz song.
Thank you very much, listeners, for voting that the winner of Song Wars this week.
That's only my fifth win in the history of Song Wars, so I'm quite delighted about that.
And as I said, we'll tell you more about what's happening for Song Wars next week, later on in the program.
But right now, here's some more real music.
This is from MGMT.
I think that's pronounced management.
And they're a kind of new, crazy, uh... It's Hail and Paste, band.
It's Hail and Paste.
It's the management.
Paste, paste, and this is called Time to Pretend.
Make some music, make some money, find some models for wives.
I've been to parishes and they were ending up with the stars.
You never, I never, never, never, never, never,
A decision to live fast and die young We've got the vision, now let's have some fun Yeah, it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
Get jobs and offices and wake up
We're fated to pretend To pretend We're fated to pretend To pretend I'll miss the playgrounds and the animals And dig it up worse
MGMT apparently is MGMT rather than management or the management and they're from America and that's called time to pretend that was good wasn't it I haven't heard that before I enjoyed that they're playing at the South by Southwest BBC no it's not a BBC festival is it it's a six music night at South by South was that rated by Steve LaMack and they're playing alongside I was a Cub Scout the pan I am
Florence and the Machine and Wild Light.
That's all your favorite bands.
I love Florence and the Machine.
Why can't we go to South by Southwest?
I want to go to Austin, Texas.
Come on.
Is that where it is?
That's Austin, Texas.
It's the grooviest place in the whole of America.
I've been there.
I know you've been there.
I want to go there as well.
Can we go?
Next year.
Next year.
Exactly.
I agree with Joe.
Horse noise.
I can't do that.
um okay now have you got anything there joe that you wanted to tell the listeners uh yeah i'd like the listeners to watch out for a film poster this week yeah it's all over the uh the bus stops i think it's the worst film poster of the year oh i know exactly which one it is which one is it uh accidental husband yes yeah i was thinking that myself yesterday i made some notes it's a disgrace it's on the way to the tube i can't believe it
I could only think of three reasons why it's the worst film poster in the world, but they're powerful reasons.
The first is obvious.
It's identical to Bridget Jones's diary.
That's right.
They've thought the meeting was... went a bit like this.
Bridget Jones's diary was a hit.
Yes.
Make this one the same.
Yes.
That was the end of the meeting.
Exactly.
Colin Farrell is in the film and he was in the other film too.
We could put him in the same position on the poster.
It's exactly the same, only in place of Helen Tights.
What was she called?
Bridget Jones?
Janine... Janine Stripmall.
Holding a diary.
What was she called, that actress?
Yeah, there you go, Renee Zellweger.
Greta Stiltz.
In place of her, they've got Uma.
In place of Adari, there's a bouquet of flowers.
In place of a huge grunt is Colin Firth.
And in place of Colin Firth is some man called Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
Who's Jeffrey Dean Morgan?
Who in the British Isles is going to get excited about seeing Jeffrey Dean Morgan?
The Morganator.
The Morganator?
He's just a man.
Nothing distinguishing about him at all.
And the other thing is, which maybe you've got on your list there.
Yeah, I want to say it.
Go on, you say it then.
Colin Firth's photo is of a much lower resolution than everybody else's.
You get this quite a lot in the modern age where it's so easy just to grab photographs off the internet and drag them into your magazine spread but not usually into your major feature film poster.
And then you pull them and you over stretch them and you know the structure of the photo becomes pixelated and Firth is basically just grabbed from another film splodged in and stretched.
He even looks as if he's grabbed from the Bridget Jones poster.
Does he?
He's completely soft and out of focus.
Whereas Jeffrey Dean Morgan, you can see every hair on his boring chin.
Well, presumably they phoned up Firth and said, Colin, is there any way you could do?
We could take some pictures.
We're making a poster for the film.
And Colin just said, no, too busy.
I'm too busy.
I'm watching television this afternoon.
I can't come.
So don't worry.
It's OK, Colin.
We found a picture of you on another poster.
We're just drag heads from there.
It's fine.
No one will notice.
And, you know, the idea of that being a satisfying poster anyway is kind of depressing.
All film posters are these days are just a white background, the lead actor and maybe one prop.
Yeah.
And that's it.
You know, anything else is considered to be confusing.
And if you think back at the good old days when, you know, those amazing artists would do amazing kind of imagined collages of scenes from the film, you know, the Star Wars poster.
Yeah.
Or Indiana Jones.
I mean obviously that's a fantasy film and stuff and a romantic comedy is slightly different.
It's always been a bit more functional in the world of romantic comedy.
Romantic comedy, do you think?
Yeah.
Maybe you're right.
But imagine if Star Wars had a similar poster design.
Darth Vader in the middle, against a white background, Han Solo on one side shaking a fist at him, Luke throwing his head back and laughing on the other.
The tagline would be, you've never seen stars war quite like this.
They would have got a bigger audience.
More money.
They would have got more money.
Yeah.
That's where they went wrong.
Anyway, keep an eye out for that poster.
What's it called?
The Accidental Husband.
Yeah.
It's shockingly poor.
That notion as well.
The notion of a whole accidental husband.
And if you work in the media and know anyone who has anything to do with that campaign, call in.
Call in or on Monday just slap them.
No.
Don't give a reason.
I would like to speak to the people involved with that because I bet you, I mean, because it looks like a mock-up, that poster, right?
I bet you there was some thing that happened, they had to rush release the poster or something and they ran out of time and money and enthusiasm.
That's the result.
I would love to hear from anyone involved in that.
Give us a call.
What's the number?
Can people call us up?
No, they'd have to email Adam and Joe.
So, and then we would call them.
Then we'd call them.
Yes.
Right.
Or of course you can text the number is 64046.
You've got to be able to prove it though.
You have to prove that you're involved in the thing.
We'd cross examine you.
Exactly.
Ask various coded questions.
Can't just be comedy conjecture.
uh now it's time for some music that i've selected for you listeners this is a this isn't even out yet okay this is new music i dug this out from the the promo bin i probably stole it off someone's desk here at six music it's by peter murren he's one third of the uh swedish pop stars peter bjorn and john of course they did they did the whistling one yeah
young folks and he's got an album coming out called the last tycoon which is out sometime in May early May and this is the single 21st of April this is out and I think it's quite good it's called real to real but check this out real is spelt R double EL
and two is spelt T double O and then real is spelt like reality.
So there's about nine layers of meaning there.
So there's a real.
Exactly.
That is too real.
It's too real.
This real is too real.
This is just too real.
It's real.
Check it out.
You seem to be terrified Cause you don't know what to make out of someone like me It's not just my bank account There are several parts that doesn't fit your scene Too big, too small, too in between, too real I took the bus to town Cause I couldn't stand to spend the night with them
There's no worse humiliation Than to be discriminated by them When they're unworthy of you They doesn't know the things you do They win because they're done
The guy who slept over me Couldn't keep his hands away from his tiny friend It was a bumpy ride I couldn't get a minute's sleep I thought it meant the room I don't pretend I took the bus to town again Next morning the bus back home
Full of hormones, spots and pringles and a porno flick.
I was so horrified, little soldiers harassing anyone.
They would scream, they would kick.
I learned to hate them then, and I'm still terrified by the sight of calm.
Who doesn't know how to react?
Cause no one told them, taught them it's okay to be real, for real A legal feeling captured of this real to real Who wants to be real?
Not really Who wants to be real?
Don't scare me so Who wants to be real?
Completely who wants to be real?
Nobody I know
That was Peter Mirren with reel to reel.
The reel was too real and that was sort of mellow and laid back.
We've got a little mellow theme going on today.
A fishing reel, a reel of magnetic tape.
Right.
A Scottish reel, a kind of a dance.
Nice, a little jig there.
What else could it be?
Nothing, that's it.
That's it.
So one of those things is too real.
Yeah.
He likes imaginary fishing.
This reel is too real Anyway, yes as I said that was out on that is out on 21st of April in the future Wow I love the future exactly we all love the future This is Adam and Joe here on BBC six music coming up to the top of our and even though it's not quite 10 o'clock right now I think we're gonna nudge the top of our sweeper forward a little bit.
Let's do it now BBC
on digital online BBC six music
Through a city that's falling apart On a night that rises and clears In a sky that's clouded by years
from the loneliness
Place your face in the shape of a smile On a night that could never surprise me Don't tell me you're afraid of the past It's only the future that didn't last You're kidding yourself, kidding yourself You're going nowhere
You said something stupid like Love steals us from loneliness Happy birthday Are you lonely yet?
You said something stupid like
Are you ready?
How is Idlewild with love steals us from loneliness?
Is that new Idlewild or old Idlewild?
2005, so it's vintage.
No, it's not vintage, I suppose you'd say, but it's from a couple of years ago.
Let's put it that way.
I found my pastry, listeners, you'll be pleased to hear.
At the top of the shop... Oh, thank Christmas for that.
I know everyone's a little bit worried about it, you know, because I bought the pastry and then I came into Six Music and suddenly no pastry.
And I'm thinking, where's the pastry?
Turned out, I left it in the shop on the... Very Freudian moment for you.
Sweetie counter.
When you lose your first pastry, it's a very important formative thing for a human being.
But what does that say?
I'm getting senile, leaving my pastries behind?
That is apparently the first sign.
Losing track of your pastries is the first sign of old age.
What's happened to my pastry?
The fact that you're eating pastries.
You've got flakes all over your jumper.
Flakes of pastry like a little old kernel.
It's my Saturday treat.
My pastry.
What's in your pastry?
Kind of a sort of a... Custard.
No, it's like a cinnamon gel.
Ah, cinnamon gel.
Yes.
Do you know who manufactures that?
No.
Toshiba.
It's good.
Anyway, so one of our favourite actors, listeners, if you listen to our waffle regularly, you'll know that we like to follow the career of
of one of Britain's most thrusting young performance talents, Nicole Kidman.
Danny Dyer.
Danny Dyer.
Danny Dyer works with a director called Nick Love.
They make such films as The Football Factory and what was the one called where Sean Bean beat all the nonces up?
The Revenge Blokes.
Stop it.
Stop it and shut up.
Yeah, I forget what it was called.
What was the one where they went to Spain with all the money?
That was the business.
The boots.
The business.
Yeah.
Yeah, the business.
There you go.
And they're genuinely a pretty good team.
He was also in Severance.
Which I saw this week.
What a strange film.
Odd one.
Very odd.
It's got some good moments in it.
Anyway, Dyer's never, you know, minces his words, does he?
He's been mouthing off this week.
He has been mouthing off, yeah, in quite an entertaining style.
He's been mouthing.
You know, that makes him really great value for money, Danny Dyer.
He doesn't sort of stand on ceremony.
He's not amazingly kind of premeditated in the way he manages his career or public persona.
How old is he these days?
Four, which is really refreshing.
You know, it's refreshing to someone who's kind of uncensored.
He must be in his mid to late 20s, is he?
I suppose.
Maybe a bit older, I don't know.
Anyway, it always makes the commentary tracks on the DVDs of their film amazing to listen to.
If you haven't stuck in any of those films and listened to the commentary track, we do recommend it.
The business is amazing.
Football Factory is breathtaking.
There's even a little, you know, making of a bit of video on the DVD of Severance, a kind of Danny Dyer on set diary that's quite breathtaking.
Anyway, he's been mouthing off
uh this week and uh this is what it said in the London paper on Thursday I quote in a completely unprovoked tirade angry Danny branded Orlando Bloom a rubbish actor and mocked James McAvoy's foppish looks you ready for this then so this is what Dyer says
Orlando Bloom, he's come straight out of drama school, gets Lord of the Rings trilogy, and goes and gets another trilogy, Pirates of the Caribbean!
He's got all sorts of dough, loads of screaming girls chasing him, but he hasn't owned his craft yet, he's a rubbish actor!
I don't think anyone I've ever come across has said, you know what?
He's a good actor, that Orlando Bloom.
He's got a good name, and quite an irritating face.
Well, man, he's only calling it like he sees it, isn't he?
Kapow!
Kapow!
That's fair enough, I would say.
Bloom, taken out.
Well, you know, Bloom's got his, um... Imagine that getting two trilogies.
Yeah.
How jammy can you get?
Double trilogies.
Who else has got that?
Was there anyone in the Lord of the Rings trilogy that was in Pirates as well?
No.
Don't think so.
I don't know.
Double trilogies.
He's right, though, isn't he?
He's the jamiest actor in the world.
Dyer also mouths off at James McAvoy.
Do you want to hear what he's got to say about him?
How can he be down on McAvoy?
James McAvoy!
I let all these quotes start with the actor's name, then a question mark.
He's absolutely gone flying.
BAFTA nominations presented at the Oscars.
Why?
Because he's running about with a floppy hairdo and he does period dramas.
I would say that that's unfair and unwarranted criticism from Dyer.
Yeah.
Casting agent.
We need someone with a floppy hairdo to play the lead in this period drama.
Hugh Grant's too old.
Hugh and MacGregor's got spiky hair.
I know.
What about James McAvoy?
He's got the ideal hair.
I never thought of McAvoy as being floppy haired in the way that Hugh-Huge Grunt always was.
At the audition?
Great read, James.
Now, can we see what you can do with your hair?
Flop it around as if you've just been accused of rape.
Great.
Now, flick it back like you've just been caught having sex in a library.
Terrific, you've got the part.
This is all att- This is imaginary.
This is an atonement audition.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
I still haven't seen that film.
But Dyer, he's insane.
I think he's justified in going off on one about Bloom.
It's not something you're supposed to do though, is it?
It's very bad form if you're in the entertainment business too bad.
You know, we kind of do it all the time in a pathetic way, but to bad math other people.
Yeah.
Because now he can never be in a film with Orlando Bloom.
Well, it's going to be very awkward.
Without there being a big bruising fight to punch out.
You know what happened?
They'd go out, they'd find that they were both very decent guys.
They'd go out for a drinky, they might have to do a little bit of shoving each other in the shoulders and then they'd bond.
I don't fancy Bloom's chances in a fight with Dyer.
Tasty.
Dyer's probably tasty, isn't he?
Yeah, you'd take him all the way out the back door.
Yeah, he's probably well tasty.
Wouldn't be a lot of Bloom's pretty boy look after that altercation.
Yeah, exactly.
No, I don't fancy McAvoy's chances against Dyer either.
Dyer always looks as if he's just crawled out from quite a bad punch-up anyway, do you know what I mean?
Like he's been boozing all night.
He's amazing value for money, but I don't know, you know, if I was his management, I'd advise him to keep a bit more shtum, because it might limit his casting options.
He'll find out.
When he's older and wiser, he'll look back and say, oh, I used to have off a lot in the old days, back in the day, but I don't do that no more.
you know when he's the new generation's answer to Ray Winston when he's when he's in his own trilogy yeah oh that's what he needs that's what everyone dreams of i dream of a trilogy the lamp trilogy the lamp the boots boot two double boots uh right now it's time for REM listeners and what are we doing are we giving away tickets to an REM gig
Yeah, you can head to bbc.co.uk forward slash six music to find out how you can get your hands on tickets to see REM play live at the ICA.
Hey, that'd be good.
A nice little intimate gig.
We love the ICA.
That'd be fantastic.
This is Supernatural Super Series.
Everybody here comes from somewhere that David just asked him to forget and disguise.
No one saw your face, no one saw your fear If that apparition had just appeared Took you up and away from the space Sincere humiliation Of your teenage station
He's alive, he's alive He cried, and he cried, and he cried, and he cried If you crawl out safe, then I'll stop right away If the premise buckles and the ropes start to say Put the detail smart with the stories the same You don't have to explain, you don't have to explain
He's alive, he's alive I'm crying
Everybody here comes from somewhere That they look just as simple as a disguise And you cry and you cry, he's alive, he's alive
Now there's nothing dark and there's nothing here Don't be afraid
We're serious, wow
REM with Supernatural Super Serious that's out on March the 24th that's gonna be the first single to be taken from their new album Accelerate out at the end of this month and you can head to bbc.co.uk forward slash six music to find out how you can get your hands on tickets to see them play at the ICA that's a great venue because it's small exactly it's intimate and it's always amazing seeing a you know a really big band
in an intimate venue, innit?
Tall people, you mean?
Like a band made out of big people?
What did I say?
A big band?
A big band, yeah.
Because they are fairly big, aren't they?
Peter Buck, he's a big hulking man.
Stipey, he's sort of tall and thin, isn't he?
Or is he a little titchy man?
You never know, do you with pop stars?
You just never know.
I used to love Adam Ant.
There should really be a button on, you know, a TV remote control that could give you the heights of anyone on the telly.
Right, exactly.
Because it's always very hard to tell and it can sometimes be shocking when you see them in real life.
Well, you and I are people always shocked how what a disparity there is height wise.
I saw Harry Potter with my own eyes the other day.
Yes.
I couldn't believe it.
Teeny weeny.
I was standing right next to him and it was like it was a mile away.
Is he a little titch box?
Tiny.
Wow.
But of course in the world of film acting that saves a lot of money because they build the sets much smaller.
That's true.
You know what?
I saw Ron Weasley the other day.
Did you?
Yes I did.
Is that the name dropping sound?
That's the name drop sound.
Nice one.
What's the name of the actor Ron Weasley?
Reg Howard.
Reg Howard?
Yeah.
um anyway i saw him and he was surrounded he had an entourage man because he was looking nonchalant yeah that guy's life must be he's cool he's the new malcolm mcdowell yeah he's the new malcolm mclaren um but don't you reckon he he must have a hard time wherever he goes
He has a wicked time.
And I saw him in a kind of grown-up drinking club.
His life's like a trailer for Skins.
Exactly.
Well, it looked as if he had the cast of Skins surrounding him like a little entourage there guarding him in case anyone came up and started ruffling his feathers.
Quick, someone text in that actor's name.
We can't remember what his name is.
Who plays Ron Weasley?
We're very bad at our facts.
Harry Potter.
It's early in the morning.
What was the other fact that someone texted us in recently?
They said that we were okay MCPS-wise as far as the rights for our Song Wars songs went.
They reverted to us.
Hang on, you're going off on a tangent.
Stick to Weasley.
Stick to Weasley.
He looked very moody and... Did he?
He looked as if you shouldn't approach him.
Otherwise he would do magic.
Really?
Yeah.
He'd give you a bit of his Thunderpants.
Exactly.
Was he in Thunderpants?
Of course he was.
He was the lead in Thunderpants.
Thunderpants.
Wasn't he?
That's right.
ThunderPants, of course, sorry to go off on another tangent, being one of those movies that just recycles the theme tune from another film.
Is that true?
In the case of ThunderPants, it was the theme from Antz.
Really?
And they just hijacked it.
I don't know if they hijacked it for the actual film, but it was all over the trailer.
And they just used it on ThunderPants.
Listen, listeners, coming up in a second, it's text the nation time.
The actor's name is, of course, Rupert Grint.
No, is that his real name?
No one can remember the word Grint on a Saturday before noon.
I don't believe that's his real name.
I think one of our listeners just texted in a made up name there.
Here's a free play.
This is a... Were they German trio?
Yeah.
Yeah, this is a classic.
This is trio with da da da.
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh.
Sunday Afternoons on 6.
From 1, the Music Week brings you the exclusive first play of Elbow's collaboration with Richard Hawley.
Hear new track to fix for the first time.
From 2, it's Philippa T.J.
It's another dose of a varied selection we've come to love about the six music charts.
We tried the cultural Steve Show.
That didn't work.
That died.
From three, Stephen Merchant.
I think that some kind of consumer rights Steve Show is the way forward.
And from five, it's Stuart McConie's Freak Zone.
Weird and exotic music for the next three hours.
Strange and beautiful and unusual sounds we hope.
The sound of Sunday Afternoons on 6.

Dukes and the Maytales with Pressure Drop.
This is Adam and Joe here on BBC 6 Music.
Before we get into Text the Nation, we've got an email for Danny Dyer.
Yeah, actually it's a text.
It's an anonymous text.
Made us laugh.
It says, hi Adam and Joe.
If you see Danny Dyer, can you tell him I've got a couple of trilogies barely used in the back of the motor if he wants them?
Lovely trilogies.
Whoa, imagine getting your hands on one of those trilogies.
And we were thinking as well that some people texted or emailed us to say that of course other people who have appeared in double trilogies.
Harrison Ford.
Harrison Ford in the Star Wars trilogy and of course Raiders of the Lost Ark.
And that'll become a quadrilogy.
The Raiders.
That's not a real word.
That word was invented by the people marketing the Aliens box set.
They did it beautifully.
Quadrilogy.
It makes no sense.
And also Hugo Weaving, who was the pointy-eared elf man in the Lord of the Rings trilogy and also in the Matrix trilogy.
He was Agent Smith in the Matrix trilogy.
But Danny Dyer, he's desperate for a trilogy.
Come on, someone out there.
No anyone who's got a spare one.
One of those Chinese blokes goes around the pubs with a briefcase full of trilogies.
Maybe a dirty trilogy.
He's desperate.
A filthy trilogy.
Danny wouldn't mind, you know what I mean?
We don't want him to have to do the football, what is it called, the real football factory series.
Have you seen that on Sky One?
The series?
The real football factories where he goes off, he goes to football matches all around the world, watches it kicking off as a Ziggy and goes, oh dear.
And he presents that does he?
Yeah he does, yeah.
Does he have a Ziggy?
As an old Ziggy.
On screen?
I think he does.
I might be imagining that.
Excuse me, viewers.
I'm going to have a seat.
We'll have a little city and what's the match?
What's the fight kicking off?
And, uh, Oh, tasty.
That blows.
Tasty.
Look at that.
Oh, I'm gonna have to have another seat.
Oh, that's appalling.
Tasty.
Yeah.
That's what they say.
Is it tasty means they like to punch each other.
Ah, yes.
Now I think it's time for.
text text text text the nation what if i don't want to text the nation but i'm using email is that a problem it doesn't matter text
Right, we're not sure how this subject's gonna go down, but we're gonna try it anyway.
Text the Nation is, of course, the part of the show where you text things in to us and we read them out in response to a question.
It's a new kind of feature.
It's a new idea.
Yeah, it's a new idea that we've thought of and we're gonna make a lot of money off it.
Yeah, if this catches on, other shows might do it.
Yeah.
But remember, you heard it here first.
The idea this week starts with pet names or nicknames for young children.
So pet names in the literal sense and the non-literal sense.
It doesn't have to be young children as well, it happens with your partner or your loved ones.
Yeah, cute things.
And the idea is you give a pet, I'm going to stick to pets because this is how it happens in my life, you know.
I do have people I love in my life but
mainly the cat.
It was called Macy.
She, I didn't name her, she belonged to a neighbour and then she just kind of moved in with us and the neighbours since moved away.
She's a very nice cat, she's called Macy.
But of course you give a cat a name or a pet a name and very quickly you get bored of that name and you start kind of rejigging it, remixing it, reversioning it.
So Macy became Maceface.
Right.
Yeah, Maceface.
and then after a while we got bored of that so maceface became macey facey uh-huh it was only a couple of minutes later macey facey became measles yeah measles became measly weasley measly weasley became ron measly nice out of harry potter good ron measly became feasibles uh-huh feasibles became furry sticks
You made a little jump there.
I did make a jump.
So forget furry sticks.
But what we're after is a kind of pet names that you then evolve like Chinese whispers or maybe declining a Latin verb.
Right.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah, exactly.
There has to be some kind of logical through line there because you do at certain points.
You just make a little logic jump, don't you?
Yeah.
You start with Macy, end up with Ron Measley.
Right.
Or why like furry sticks?
Yeah, well that's in reference to the cat's legs.
Exactly!
That's genius.
I think all cats should be called furry sticks.
We also call her woolly face.
And that turns into when she's haranguing us for food woolly bully.
A woolly bully.
Uh, and sometimes verbal features.
There you go.
You know, and, uh, you do, you do this with your children and with your partner.
Sometimes you don't do it with your parents so much.
Do you?
You don't call, you don't have kind of names for your dad and stuff.
Unless you're really pathetic.
You know, exactly.
We would discourage that.
Parents are authority figures.
That's right.
Yeah.
You don't give them a demeaning pet names.
No, and you wouldn't do that to the Prime Minister, for example.
That would be simply awful.
It would be disrespectful, and it would undermine his authority.
But what's your point?
I don't know.
No, my point is that I think if people are texting us or emailing us, then I'm interested to hear their pet names for their children and husbands and wives and partners as well.
The deal is the way they evolve.
Yeah, we want to hear the evolution.
We want to know where you started somewhere sensible, and then gradually as you got bored of calling it that name, the name evolved.
So we want those little lists of names.
Like my, my son, my younger son is called Natty.
Uh, so we call it- I would immediately go for natty dread.
Right.
Then I'd probably go for judge dread.
Would you?
Yeah.
And then I'd be off on a whole 2000 AD chair.
Never went there.
We never went there.
Really?
That avenue lies ahead of us.
Instead we went, uh, nat, and then nut, and then nutty, and then go nutty, and then go nuts, and then- That's very dangerously close to an anatomical word.
Yeah, exactly.
Uh, he doesn't know that.
And then go tard.
sometimes if he's insulting it's a little bit insulting if he's behaving like an idiot uh and then go nuts and what does where does go nuts come from it's kind of go nuts with the letters mixed around yeah but where does it come from oh go nuts it blows from the east
I don't know, I don't know what... So you get the kind of thing, listeners, please text us on 64046 or email adamandjoe.sixmusicatbbc.co.uk.
You can communicate via either of those methods.
We read the emails instantly.
You know what, you can communicate with either of those methods with anyone you want as well.
It's not just us.
Really?
Yeah.
I'm not sure that's true.
No, maybe not.
So there we go.

BBC News at 10.30, I'm Nicky Cardwell.
Six people have been killed in a head-on car crash in Gloucestershire.
Three others, including two children, are in a critical condition in hospital.
The accident happened last night between Moreton in Marsh and Stow-on-the-World.
Lady Thatcher is expected to be released from hospital at some point later today.
The former PM, who's 82, was admitted to St.
Thomas' Hospital late last night for precautionary tests.
Victims of child abuse in Jersey will be remembered at a rally on the island today, which is also being used as a call for political change.
One of the organisers, Nick Le Cornu, says the way the island is run needs changing because of the culture of silence.
Increasingly, particularly the government and through the only newspaper that we have in this island, the Evening Post, it operates like a one-party state.
There is control over what is said and who says what.
The government has approved plans by a local authority to take over the running of post offices which have been closed in its area.
Essex County Council says negotiations with the Royal Mail are at an advanced stage.
Councillor Stephen Castle says the scheme could work in other places as well.
We've had interest from right across the country.
People are clearly, I think, very worried about the future of their post offices and their communities.
It's not just an Essex issue but, you know, in Essex we've been innovative, we think we've found a different way of perhaps tackling this and we're certainly talking to colleagues up and down the country.
A professional golfer is facing criminal charges for killing a hawk on a course in Florida.
Trip Eisenhower is accused of driving several shots at the bird after complaining that its loud chirps were interrupting the filming of a video.
He says he was only trying to scare it.
Six Music Sport and Ryan Sidebottom was in top form on day four of the first test against New Zealand in Hamilton.
The England bowler claimed a hat-trick among his five wicked whores as the home side was reduced to 147 for eight in their second innings which means they lead by 269 runs.
Now with six music news here's Andre Payne.
Courtney Love says Fordsters have been using her late husband's identity in a huge scam for up to five years.
The Sun reports that £36 million has been taken from Kurt Cobain's estate.
It says the thieves set up 188 credit cards in Courtney's name and used Kurt's social security number to buy a $3.2 million house.
Courtney's called in forensic accountants and presented their findings to police.
The Zombies are performing their seminal album Odyssey and Oracle in full this evening for the second of three nights at Shepherd's Bush Empire.
The 1968 record only found critical acclaim years after the band split around the time of its release.
Colin Blundstone and Rod Argent have since had successful solo careers.
They told Tom Robinson how they got started touring as The Zombies again.
It happened quite by chance that we started playing together again, and originally we went out as Colin Blunt's son Rod Argent.
But to be honest, when we turn up, we find that most of the promoters have booked us as the zombies, or billed us as the zombies, and just over a period of years, we've just given in really.

It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how I keep from going under.
Broken glass everywhere.
People pissing on the stage, you know they just don't care.
I can't take the smell, can't take the noise.
Got no money to move out, I guess I got no choice.
Racks in the front room, roaches in the back.
Junkies in the alley with the baseball bat.
I tried to get away, but I couldn't get far.
Cause a man with a torch like me possessed my car.
Don't push me, cause I'm close to the edge.
I'm trying not to lose my head.
It's like a jungle sometimes.
It makes me wonder how I keep from going under.
Standing on the front stoop, hanging out the window, watching all the cars go by, roaring as the breezes blow.
A crazy lady living in a bag, eating out of garbage pails.
Used to be a fag hag, said she'd ask to tango, skip the life and dangle.
A certain princess seemed to have lost her senses.
Down at the peep show, watching all the creeps so she could tell her stories to the girls back home.
She went to the city and got so-so, so did she.
She had to get a pet.
She couldn't make it on her own.
Push me cause I'm close to the edge I'm trying not to lose my head It's like a jungle sometimes It makes me wonder how I keep from going under It's like a jungle sometimes It makes me wonder how I keep from going under
My brother's doing bad, stole my mother's TV Says she watches too much, it's just not healthy All my children in the daytime, Dallas at night Can't even see the game or the Sugar Ray fight The bill collectors that ring my phone And scare my wife when I'm not home Got a broad education, double digit inflation Can't take the train to the job, there's a strike at the station I need my aunt King Kong, standing on my back Can't stop to turn around, broke my sacroiliac I'm mid-range, migraine, cancer, membrane Sometimes I think I'm going insane, I swear I might hijack a plane Don't push me
It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how I keep from going under.

My son said, Daddy, I don't wanna go to school, cause the teacher's a jerk.
He must think I'm a fool, and all the kids go reefer.
I think it'd be cheaper if I just got a job, learn to be a street sweeper.
I dance to the beat, shuffle my feet, wear my shirt and tie, and run with the creeps.
Cause it's all about money, ain't a damn thing funny.
You got to have a con in this land of milk and honey.
They pushed that girl in front of the train Took her to the doctor, sold her arm on the game Stabbed that man right in his heart Gave him a transplant for a brand new start I can't walk through the park cause it's crazy after dark Keep my hand on my gun cause they got me on the run I feel like a
Outlaw broke my last glass jar.
Hear them say you want some more?
Living on a seesaw.

A child is born with no state of mind, blind to the ways of mankind.
God is smiling on you, but he's frowning too, because only God knows what you'll go through.
You'll grow in the ghetto living second rate, and your eyes will sing a song, because they hate the places you
and where you stay looks like one great big alleyway.
You'll admire all the number book takers, thugs, pimps, and butchers in the big money maker.
Driving big cars, spending 20s and 10s, and you want to grow up to be just like them.
Smugglers, scramblers, burglars, gamblers, pickpocket, peddlers, even panhandlers.
You say I'm cool.
I'm no fool.
But then you wind up dropping out of high school.
Now you're unemployed, all non-void, walking around like your pretty boy Floyd.
Turn stick up, kids.
But look what you done did, got sent up for a eight year bid Now your manhood is choking, you're a Maytag Spend the next two years as a undercover fag Being used and abused to serve like hell To one day you was found hung dead in a cell It was claimed to see that your life was lost You was cold and your body swung back and forth But now your eyes sing the sad, sad song Of how you lived so fast and died so young So don't
Push me, cause I'm close to the edge.

Yo, Mel, you see that girl, man?
Yeah, man.
Yo, that sound like cowboy, man.
Yo, what's up, buddy?
Yo, it was Quill and Raheem at layups dance school.
This is a recording of something that happened to me last night.
Which one were you there?
The one, the first one.
It's my girlfriend.
Is that you saying get in the car then?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Get in the car, get in the car!
Yeah, it was just an incident with the milkman yesterday morning.
Why'd you put that accent on there?
It's how I talk off air.
This is a persona.
Oh.
Yeah.
When you get back to Stockwell, that's how you talk.
Yep, everyone talks like that in Stockwell.
It's near Brixton.
It's the most violent and deadly place in the country.
Now folks, I'm sorry to tell you this, but Joe and I are going to be fired.
Yeah, we've had a mess in the studio, we've had an accident in the studio, a spillage of information all over the floor and it's information concerning REM.
We've been horribly misinformed about this whole REM business.
They're not playing at the ICA.
They're playing at the Royal Albert Hall and they've got some kind of exhibition at the ICA.
What's more... The gig is in honour of the ICA.
Right.
What's more, you can no longer get tickets.
No, the lines have been closed, so it looks like it's curtains for this show.
You know, a lot... It's a phone vote scandal.
People have been fired for a lot less than that from the big British castle.
All we can say is it wasn't our fault.
That's what they all say.
Yeah.
That doesn't watch at the big British castle.
We're off then.
We're going to be tarred and feathered.
Alan Carr's back next week.
Pushed off the ramparts.
For the foreseeable future.
It's been lovely being on air.
Thanks very much.

Oh, good one.

Clear your desk, pack your bags, get your coat, and get out.
So yeah, sorry about that REM fans.
What did we offer them as a sop, a fob, or whatever you want to call it?
Nothing.
You can listen to the gig.
on the um...stuart mcconie and mark lard show what is lard's first name eric eric listen let's have some music uh this is a free play from you isn't it adam yes yes yes uh i'm a big robin hitchcock fan and this is from his album i which was re-released recently and if you're a van morrison fan
which I think a lot of our listeners will be, then maybe you're familiar with the album, Wieden Fleece.
That's one of my favorite Van Morrison albums.
It's a sort of just after Astral Weeks and it's an absolute mess.
That's how you pronounce the phrase, absolute mess, absolute mess.
And this song, Raining Twilight Coast by Robin Hitchcock is sort of indebted to a track from that Van Morrison album called Streets of Arklow, I think it's called.
But this is Raining Twilight Coast by Robin Hitchcock.
Enjoy!
I'm on a rainy twilight coast Sending out postcards to the one I love
No one sees it, cause there's no one around Just one thing baby, you forgot my heart Just one thing baby, you forgot my heart
And I remember When I was young They said work hard And die suddenly Because it's fun And so I tried it
I did what I could Made no difference, it never did any good Just one thing baby, you forgot my heart Just one thing baby, you forgot my heart
Cause I'm a fish baby With a shimmering skin And I find an opening And I slide right in He sees my mother
There's so many ways you can screw up a child Just one thing baby, you forgot my heart

Text the nation!
Text!
Text!
Text!
Text the nation!
What if I don't want to?
Text the nation!
But I'm using email, is that a problem?
It doesn't matter, text!
It's text the nation time, this is the part of the show, listen carefully because this is complicated, where we give you a subject and you text us about it and we read them out.
So what was the middle part?
Uh, I'd forgotten.
I wish I'd made a note of that.
Anyway, the subject this week is evolving nicknames for pets or children or loved ones.
You give them a kind of a nickname, you get bored with it quickly, you start to evolve that nickname until it becomes kind of like a weird game of Chinese whispers and ends up something that nobody could possibly deduce where it came from.
That makes sense?
Yeah, it does.
So I've only done the emails so far.
We've had a lot in.
I'll try and go through the text when we get a longer record.
But here are some emails.
This is from Emily Poston.
She says, my little sister Cicely became Cicely Parsley early in her life after a Beatrix Potter book, Cicely Parsley's Nursery Rhymes.
Is that how you pronounce Cicely?
C-I-C-E-L-Y.
Cicely.
Cicely.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Quite suitable for the blonde moppet she was.
Happily for all concerned, I think, this has, in the intervening years, morphed into cis-pass, parson, arson-parson, and often fondly into pass-hole.
A move to the mellower west country led to my attempt to impose pass-irey on her?
I think I'm pronouncing some of these wrongly.
This continues to sit uncomfortably with her all-consuming antipathy for all things mellow.
I love her.
Aw, that's nice.
Isn't that nice?
That's a wonderful journey.
That's good parcel though.
This is one from Ryan Staines.
I've got a friend called Laura.
Once when pronouncing her name in a funny way, I noticed it sounded like loo roll.
That turned into bog roll since that was funnier to shout in the street.
Someone changed that to bog it, which was meant to be nicer.
Somehow that devolved again into bogger noggers.
She is now a barrister.
and has been known to call herself Ginger Ninja Lawmaster Laura.
Boganogas is good.
Boganogas.
A trained barrister.
Would Boganogas please come to the stand?
I have many names for my cat, says Alison Shaw, who is named Lemmy.
He is named after Lemmy Kilmeister's mole.
He's Lemmy Kilmeister from Motorhead.
Okay.
This can also be Lem, Lemlem, or the Lemmster.
Anyway, when I got him he was kind of lacklustre according to my vet so I started to call him Scruggy.
Scruggy Scruggs.
Which then became The Scrugglet.
That mutated to Scrabbly or Scrabbles when feeling formal.
Scrabulous Junks.
When he's bad, I say no way Jose, as in no way Jose, but pronounced wrong.
What?
No way Jose.
I don't know.
Anyway, there you go.
So that went from Scruggy Scruggs, Scrugglets, Scrabbleys, Scrabbles, Scrabulous Junks.
Scrabulous Junks is good.
I like where they end up these names often, you know?
Yeah.
Uh, Gareth Owens says, Hello, my name is Gareth.
At the age of eight, I unfortunately acquired the nickname Garfield, which was regrettably shortened to Garf and stayed that way for some years.
I went to college, tried to lose it, but it still lingered like a foul smell.
My brother modified the name to Garfy, which I quite like.
We've got a habit of putting the in front of people's names, so it became the Garfy, which I like even more.
It eventually changed into the Garf C,
which when typed into a text message comes out the hard she.
Whoa!
Which the very same brother decided to use as El Harchi Libre.
And now a lot of the time he just says Libre.
You see, that's exactly the kind of thing we're looking for.
That is an insane journey.
Finally, Andrew Morris.
Hello, A&J.
Over the course of our eight-year relationship, my ex named me thus.
Andrew.
Drew.
Drewbington.
Drewy.
Drewby.
Drewbymadraws.
Drewbydraws.
Yeah, that doesn't go so far really, does it?
Keep these coming in.
We're looking for, you know, the most bizarre and weird evolution of a nickname for a pet or a friend or a loved one.
Here's another one from Jennifer Rachel Burks.
I went to a sixth form college in the early 90s with someone called Jonathan Thorpe, who went by the nickname Temps.
That came from the following logic strand.
Thorpe equals Thorpey, sounds like four p,
add six is ten p becomes temps add six is ten p i put that bit in because it just goes thorpe thorpey four p ten p temps well do you remember our friend uh chris cook he had quite a tortured uh evolution of nicknames yeah it started off chris cook and then uh dr hook he was called and then after that it was uh just the doctor for a while and then hookles and then dr spock and then spockles and then spockter
Spock does a good one.
And then, oh yeah, and then and then variations on there was a little fork that went in the doctor road, you know?
Yeah.
So it went, he turned into Doc Ock for a while.
Ah.
Like Doctor Octopus.
Yeah, exactly.
And yeah, Doc Ock and Spock.
I've got a few.
Joe, Joe Bow.
Yeah.
The Kornmeister, I have to have a think about those.
Kornballs.
You must have a few as well.
No, I never had any.
We talked about this before, but I was always very jealous of people who had nicknames.
I've got nothing except obscene variations on Buxton.
Keep your nickname evolutionary strings coming in.

I've been drooling at some mangy scraps of bread And these hungry voices make a lot of noise inside my head Show me the weight of the rubbish dump of the bins at closing time I've walked a mile just to catch a smile from a fish without its prime
found a couple of crumbs down there, was lucky and got some flotsam from a girl with hot brown hair.
She said her name was Mary May and she liked the springtime most.
She said she left the meals half head, she said she left the crust on toast.
Oh, snip me some of that old sardine She'd been seen in my named gym I said, I'll do mine Send her second place Just my starlight glasses for the block I thought she was kinder kind I knew I'd bet my match And I was sure that I'd lock the door
Just what I want, don't need no fun.

If you see a sailor, she'll be out landing scraps.
But don't be fooled, our heart is ruined by forces of the past.

BBC6Music When I first saw you something stood within me Your stomach started in the rain
Rip it up and start
When an egg saw you in your heart, it reached out for you.
My arms sucked like ew to my thighs.
If I could have held you, I would have held you in the front of the wall of my pride.
And there were times I'd take my pen and fill up lives to start again I took the plan that there are things in life that one can't quite express You know me, I'm acting dumb-dumb You know the scene is very hum-drum And my favorite song's not a song
I said rip it up and start again
Delicious, uh, freshly squeezed orange juice for you there, listeners there.
That's Rip It Up, of course.
This is Adam and Joe on BBC6 music.
It's Saturday morning.
We're in the last hour of the show now.
Uh, who's coming up at noon?
Is it Liz?
Is it Liz?
Well, you know, we don't, we don't know.
We're not going to say anything factual anymore.
No, cause we know almost, next to nothing.
What do we know about?
But listen, as Adam mentioned earlier in the show, I'm unfortunately indisposed next weekend, so Adam's got a guest presenter sitting in.
But before we get to that, we're doing Song Wars every other week at the moment, listeners.
And to be perfectly honest, I'm a little bit jealous that someone else, the mystery guest presenter,
he's going to get to do a song wars i like doing song wars and i've really got into the habit i was a bit grumpy about it when we first started and complained about the workload but i got into the habit and i can't stop um doing songs so songs just got to come out it's just got to come out uh i got music in you and uh you know sometimes they're not very good like the following
But this week I just couldn't stop myself from doing a song and I knew I wasn't allowed to write a song.
I thought it might make you upset.
So I've written a song that isn't really a song.
It's called This Is Not A Song, This Is It.
This is not a song.
It does not exist.
This is not a song.
If you think you hear a song.
And it's out of tune It does not make sense It's out of sequence It suddenly stops
You cannot sing along There is no chorus No middle-aged The words do not rhyme Most of the time This is not a song
Yeah, well it's like The Beatles, isn't it?
Is it?
It's very similar to a lot of The Beatles.
What do you mean?
Experimental music, like something that maybe he would have turned up on the Yellow Submarine album there.
Reminds me of, it's only a Northern song.
It's very deconstructionist, there's a lot of ideas going on there.
Did you buy a new set of plug-ins for GarageBand there?
I bought something called a chaosolator.
A chaosolator?
Have you heard of the chaosolator?
No, what's that?
Pop K-oscillator into YouTube.
K-A-O-S-C-I, you know, oscillator on the end.
Chaos pad.
Yeah, that'll teach you all that.
Is that a bit of hardware?
It's basically, what was the Rolf Harris thing called?
The stylophone.
Stylophone, yeah.
It's a stylophone for the noughties.
Brillo pads.
K-oscillator.
K-oscillator.
It's brilliant, also very frustrating.
You'll see why if you have a look at the films of people using them on YouTube.
Well that was, that was, that was extraordinarily strange.
Thanks for sharing that.
Sorry, it was only short.
And we're not asking people to vote for that.
No, just ignore that.
Pretend it didn't happen.
It was just a little burst, a little creative ejaculation there from Joe Quanch.
Yeah, all over the years.
Alright.
Now my presenter next week, my guest co-presenter, will be the film director and pop video genius Garth Jennings.
He's an old friend of both of us, me and Joe.
We met him ages ago.
He'll do a ruddy good job.
Yeah, I'm sure he will and he's got a film coming out.
That's not the reason that he is co-presenting incidentally.
It's a convenient coincidence.
It's a convenient coincidence.
He's got a film called Son of Rambo coming out.
Talk about convenient coincidences.
They made the film over a year ago, but it was sort of held up as far as getting it released went.
So now it's turned out that it's being released about a month after Rambo.
So that's quite good, isn't it?
It's got nothing to do with Rambo other than the fact that it's about some young boys in the 80s making a... Quite a lot to do with Rambo.
Yeah, thematically a little bit, but that's where the similarity ends.
It's about a kid who doesn't have a telly who's from a puritanical religious background who sees Rambo in the 80s on home video and it changes his life and he goes about making a kind of kiddie version of Rambo.
Yeah, it's great.
It's hitting cinemas soon.
It's more of a rites of passage thing though than a kind of recreation of Rambo.
It's a must see.
Yeah, absolutely.
I've got like a little minor scene in there.
Oh, I thought you were going to talk about something else.
No, no, no.
What?
A little disease or mole.
Oh, that's quite a little winky.
No, I pop up in Son of Rambo very briefly.
But anyway, Garth is going to be co-presenting next week.
Of course, as well as being a film director, he also directed amazing pop videos like Pumping on Your Stereo, the one with the Muppets for Supergrass, Coffee and TV with the little milk carton for Blur, and many others.
You can ask him about that next week, listeners, if you like.
And Garth is going to be taking part in Song Wars.
And the Song Wars challenge for next week, which Garth and I have to fulfil,
is we've got to create songs using members of our family.
It can be any family member.
We've just got to make a song with them in it.
It can't be us singing.
So that's Song Wars for next week and you'll hear what we came up with then.
But for the time being, that's it for Information Zone.
Here's Elbow with Grounds for Divorce.

Yes, Text the Nation this week is all about evolving nicknames, where you give someone a name or a nickname and then over the weeks and months it evolves into something completely different that a novice could never possibly trace back to the origin.
We've had lots of very nice emails and texts.
Nice is the wrong word, isn't it?
No, nice is a good word.
I'm using.
I like the word nice.
We used to have a teacher at school who banned the word nice.
She hated it.
Yeah.
And everyone as an end of term present used to bring her nice biscuits, you know?
Yeah.
Love her.
In your face.
You should have shoved those biscuits right in her face.
That's what you should have done.
No, I'm joking.
You should never shove biscuits in people's faces, it's very dangerous.
Do it slowly and softly, that's fun.
That's sexy.
If you just press it on the end of the nose very softly and then wait till it just crumbles across the face.
Hey listen, if you moisten the biscuits first with warm water, that's a whole different thing.
If you dunk them and then push them into someone's face, that's a sign of love.
But everyone has teachers who do that, don't they?
Like English teachers, they're always saying, don't use the word nice.
I'd ban that word.
If I see that in an essay, you get a minus mark thing.
You know, immediately.
And I've never had a problem with the word nice.
I like it.
It's nice.
OK, here are some of those emails.
This is from Dave in Cheltenham.
Morning chaps, our eldest son is named Joshua, which was obviously shortened to Josh.
This quickly became Josh Mosh, then Mish Mash, then Mishington, Mishington Mashington until finally arriving at Mission Impossible.
Not so bad when he was five or six, but now aged 17, he finds it a little embarrassing.
Such is life!
Says Dave, yes.
That's brilliant.
From Josh to Mission Impossible.
That's very good.
That's a good one.
Here's one from...
Here's one from a Collins, Andrew Collins, I'm not sure.
My little sister's called Georgina.
This was swiftly turned into Georgie and George, but strangely moved in the tyrannical direction of Genghis.
That was too brilliant to let go of, so we stuck with it.
Genghis.
That's quite an odd one, isn't it?
Good.
Genghis is nice.
So, this is from John Bateman.
Hi, we inherited a cat when we bought our house, imaginatively named Thomas, which obviously wasn't interesting enough.
He became Tom.
Tom-o.
Thompson.
And whatever Tom derivatives came to mind, including Tomkin.
And that naturally led to Battleship Potomkin.
i don't think he understands the role he played in russian history but he answers to it but then he answers to anything i think he might be a bit deaf john bateman and judith winters in scarborough thank you very much for that that's excellent battleship patompkin brilliant uh russ jones dear adam and joe my mother had a cross between a chihuahua and a chinese crested powder puff
Does that exist?
It was a cartoon character.
It was originally named Webster after Webster Booth who died on the day that she bought him.
Webster naturally turned into Webby and then became Webby Woo Woo.
This somehow evolved into Webby Woozle in reference to the Winnie the Pooh story where Pooh and Piglet walk around and round a tree in search for two woozles and one weasel.
Webby Woozle became just Woozle and then turned into Woo Woo Woozle.
Finally any combination of Webby's, Woo Woo's and Woozle's was accepted.
The dog died of a brain tumour.
I was wondering why I was reading that one out and then I realised.
Not because of the nicknames though.
Possibly I think.
It's very confusing for a dog.
Leon Trigg has sent Dear Adam and Joe.
Oh no sorry this is from Amy in Brighton.
The email address says Leon Triggs.
She's piggybacking on someone else's Wi-Fi probably.
That's illegal I think.
Dear Adam and Joe, we have a lovely fluffy cool customer of a cat called Sydney and then Denny off the back of Sydney I suppose Sydney became Denny becomes Den becomes Denzel became Denzel Washington becomes Denzel washing cat.
If it's a Denny day, we can sing the Blondie song Denny Denny.
I'm so in love with you.
Ooh, that's a pretty good to need a knee.
I think you'll find Denny Denny Denzel washing cat that's very good Harold Dalton says my girlfriend is called Helen which soon became heli which became smelly which became stinky which became ugly and
She loves it.
All right ugly.
All right.
Elise Richardson, our dog is called Ruby.
When he was hungry we used, sorry, when she was hungry we used to say that she was hungry pungry.
We then started calling her Pungry.
Now she's called Pungs.
That's weird.
That doesn't go far enough, does it?
For you, you look disappointed.
Well, yeah, that's a journey that's only halfway complete.
Yeah.
I'd like them to get back to me in a year.
John Vowles says, my daughter Alice has a great pet name.
Here's how it happened.
Alice became Allie.
Allie became Allie Bongo.
Allie Bongo became Alfonso.
Alfonso has become Fonzie.
Oi, Bonzi!
That's good.
You'd never track that back to Alice, would you?
Never.
Wouldn't happen.
Tracks are perfectly well covered.
Tom Bacon says, I had a friend at school called Adam.
His real name was Sam, but he didn't like that name.
That's a different story.
When we found this out, we used to call him Spam, which then evolved to Spoon.
He was also called Baboon alongside this, as he looked a little bit like a baboon.
We then merged these two names and he became known as Spaboon.
Says Tom Bacon.
Well, I'm jealous.
I sympathize.
What's baboon?
You could, oh no, hang on.
What's baboon from Adam?
Yeah, you could take spaboon.
I never had any nicknames.
That's no good.
I'll tell you what, let's, let's wrap up Text the Nation shortly.
There's a lot more that we can do, but first here's a bit more music for you listeners.
Now you chose this one, didn't you, Joe?
What is it?
It's Erykah Bardu.
Yeah, this is the new Erykah Badu album.
She's a terrific singer.
If you don't know any Erykah Badu and want to know how to get into her, then if you haven't seen Dave Chappelle's film Block Party, rent that out and watch it on a really good hi-fi and a big screen.
And Erykah Badu does an amazing couple of songs in there.
And she's got a new album out.
It's a very important, difficult, mysterious album.
It's called something like New America Part One, but America's spelt all funny.
concept album it certainly is the cover has her face a painting of her face and she's got a big afro but it's not an afro made of hair it's made of all kinds of symbolic little symbols symbolic junk yeah you know you it's one of those album sleeves you can get lost in yeah lots of messages concept albums coming back in i think
This is her new single.
It's great and it's got a fantastic, squidgy synth on it that reminds me of my childhood and is sort of the sound of going through very thick mud in whalies.
This is Erykah Badu with Honey.
You're so sweet to me, how funny, yeah You're so sweet, hey Shove got the long way to get you, oh You're so sweet
Oh, honey
So tell me, Sam, what you tryin' to do?
Hey, I'm tryin' to get me an interview.
Look, boy, you're all over town.
But your game ain't made a run around.
Fly free, baby, fine with me.
I need to know, is you feelin' me?
Oh, can you stick your pinky finger in my teeth?
Cause you're so sweet to me.
There we go, Erykah Badu with Honey, and weirdly that's the hidden track on the album.
Oh, that's often the case, sometimes it's... Is it?
That's happened before, has it?
Well, you get like a really good hidden track, you know what I mean?
There's nothing worse than a really bad hidden track.
That's her first single off of it, and it's the hidden track.
Right.
So it was... I was a bit, you know, disturbed when I got it home.
I was looking for that song and I thought, man, the single's not on the album.
The name of the single isn't on the back of the album.
Well sometimes what happens is the band does a stopgap single, do you know what I mean?
But something that between albums... To keep up interest.
To keep up interest, but it's not really in keeping with the spirit of the album that eventually gets released, so they either miss it out completely or they have it as a little hidden track there.
It's a good album, I do recommend it.
If you like that kind of thing, if you don't like that kind of thing... What happens if you don't like it?
Well, I wouldn't buy it.
I think you'll be mis-investing your money.
Right.
That's city news here on the Adam and Jo Radio Show.
Very important news.
Now before the real news, here are the lunatic fringe, also known as CSS with off the hook.
We stand so still People gonna start thinking we're statues Silence is disturbing me People talk but I can't hear I'm off the hook I'm off the hook I think I'm off the hook baby
Find us both a place to sit The more I talk, the more my bones get heavy Silence is disturbing me Don't they know I can't read lips I'm off the hook Off the hook I think I'm off the hook, baby
Why is that we stand so still?
People gonna start thinking we're statues Silence is disturbing me People talk but I can't hear I'm off the hook
Yeah, they're off the hook.
That's CSS.
This is Adam and Joe here on BBC 6 Music.
Time now for the news at 11.30, read by Nicky Cardwell and Andre Payne.
On digital radio and online, BBC 6 Music.
6 dead in Gloucestershire Smash, health scare for former PM and could council save post offices?
And in 6 Music News, how Kurt Cobain bought a $3 million house last year and return of the zombies.
6 Music.
BBC News at 11.30, I'm Nicky Cardwell.
Six people have been killed in a head-on collision in Gloucestershire.
Another three, including two children, are in hospital with serious injuries after the crash on the A429 between Moreton in Marsh and Stow-on-the-World.
The road has been closed while the accident is being investigated.
Baroness Thatcher is feeling a lot brighter and will be released this afternoon according to the former PM's office.
She was admitted to hospital last night for precautionary tests after feeling unwell.
Lady Thatcher's biographer Charles Moore is a friend of the family.
I've just spoken to some people close to her and I think what seems to have happened, Lady Thatcher's susceptible to heat and this sometimes gives her, as it does sometimes with old people, a turn and I think that's what's happened.
A number of local authorities are considering taking over post offices to save them from closure.
Essex County Council says it's just weeks away from reaching a deal.
The Postal Affairs Minister Pat McFadden says councils will have to reach their own deals with the post office.
If they're serious about it and they're willing to put money into it and they want to be answerable to their local council taxpayers for that decision, then I would encourage Post Office Limited to talk to them about that seriously.
And if they can, between them, work out an agreement which is agreeable to both parties, then I don't see why that shouldn't happen.
Victims of child abuse in Jersey are being remembered at a rally on the island today, which is also being used as a call for political change.
Officers are preparing to excavate a second cellar at the former home at Eau de la Garenne.
Europe is preparing to launch its biggest and most sophisticated spacecraft.
The 20-tonne automated transfer vehicle will ferry supplies to astronauts on board the International Space Station.
Six Music Sport and Wales will win the Triple Crown today if they beat Ireland at Croke Park in the Six Nations.
Wales coach Warren Gatland faces his former assistant Eddie O'Sullivan, who replaced him when he was sacked by Ireland seven years ago.
Now with Six Music News, here's Andre Payne.
Courtney Love says her family is the victim of a massive fraud after discovering her late husband apparently bought a $3.2 million house in New Jersey last year.
The Sun reports that a huge identity scam has allowed thieves to steal £36 million from Kurt Cobain's estate.
Forensic accountants have discovered money is missing from Kurt's daughter's trust fund.
There were also said to be 188 credit cards set up in Courtney Love's name.
In other Six Music News, the Charlatans say there have been 30,000 downloads of their free album You Cross My Path.
Unlike Radiohead, the band have decided to reveal their level of downloads for their web experiment.
They reckon it would have got them to number two if the album was chart-eligible.
Finally, the Zombies are back at Shepherd's Bush Empire tonight.
The 60s band are playing their Odyssey and Oracle album in full during a three-night residency.
And this is what you can expect if you're going to the gig.
We're going to do the first half with our road band, who are fantastic.
And then in the second half we're going to bring out the original surviving members of the zombies and we're going to play Odyssey on Oracle from beginning to end, which has never ever been done before.
And the final night of the zombies residency is tomorrow.
That's 6 Music News, your next bulletin is at 12.30.
On the Music Week, we bring you the world's first play of Guy Garvey and Richard Hawley's collaboration.
Hear their duet for Elbow's new album for the first time on the show.
Plus, MGMT and The Kills look forward to South by Southwest.
That's the Music Week with me, Julie Cullen and Matt Everett.
Tomorrow, from One.
Six Music.

Brit Award winner Kate Nash with Mary Happy, that's the fifth single to be taken from her debut album Made of Bricks.
Surely, I mean, with the best will and the best skills in the world, she's never going to be able to equal the success of Made of Bricks, don't you reckon?
The first album.
It's bad to be negative about music that you play on your show.
Usually we take care for one of us to be enthusiastic about a record.
Can't manage it.
Oh come on, I loved it.
That was my favourite song.
There we go.
Listen, we might do for Song Wars in the week after the week after next, we might go for Kate Nash style songs.
I've always wanted to do a Kate Nash song.
See if we can out-nash each other.
I think it would be hard to do the accent though.
I might have to do a sort of parallel universe Kate Nash.
I don't know, I think it would be easy.
That's quite good.
Because I've got spots on my bum and I'm feeling real sleazy.
Oh, you're already one step ahead there.
I've had a cup of tea.
My best friend's called Colin.
You gotta talk about how rubbish your boyfriend is as well.
He is rubbish.
I wish he'd go away.
That's good.
Thanks.
You can get a charts on for that.
You could get a charts on.
So yeah, okay then.
So next week on Song Wars, me and Garth are battling it out for songs with relatives in them.
And thereafter, two weeks thence, it'll be Song Wars with me and Joe doing Kate Nash songs.
Brilliant.
All stuff to look forward to there.
Now let's wrap up Text-A-Nation.
Jingle.
Jingle my jangles.
We're talking about evolving nicknames, nicknames that sort of start sensible, then you get bored with them, so you twist and change them until they become a word whose logic you can't possibly trace back to any kind of sense or origin.
A mangled distant cousin.
Thank you very much.
This is from Lindsay in Glasgow.
My friend Stiff got his name thus.
His name was Graham McClure, which changed into McGlue.
then into glue stick from and then from stick into stiff that's good yeah how'd you go from stick to stiff that's easy sticky stiffy fair enough thank you thanks thanks you've answered the question stufels this is from matt my mate at school became knickers from anthony yeah fair enough
uh not sure how but it went uh antonoid then to noid then to droid nice that's quite good oi droid he also has my cat cobweb is now known as collie wobbles
our cat says says uh stee in wirral is called milo which is transformed into miloua putti miloua putti monsieur monsieur stench cat head cat face cat face killer
Cats are hideous murderers.
They're awful.
Whenever you think they're all sweet, they'll go and disembowel a baby hen or something.
They are cold-blooded.
Spiritually, that is.
My kitten's called Lin.
Ah, this one's anonymous I think, and gets called Linica, which is how she is sometimes known as Gary.
Nice.
Yeah, that's fairly straightforward.
Is that it?
Yeah.
Two steps?
Yeah.
Well it's only a text.
My cat Eric evolved to Rick Rock.
I guess you go from Eric to Rick.
From Rick to Rick Rock.
Based on the name of the guy who sang It Wasn't Me with Shaggy.
Now it's become Truck Stop.
That's good.
Eric, Rick, Rick Rock, Truck Stop to Hairy Trucker.
Nice.
Yeah.
The next step is going to be obscene, isn't it?
From that.
Yes.
My sister started with Nina, then became Neens, then Nina Noona, then Nooni, Nooni Noone, Goon, Goose, Loose Goose, Goon Face, I now call her Marvin O Gravel Balloon Face.
Hang on, who's that from?
I thought maybe Nina Nana would be in there somewhere.
Nina Nana, yeah.
Is she still the entertainment correspondent for London Tonight?
Which is an excellent news program if you live in the London area.
Just looked at the text and we've had quite a little flurry of texts complaining there about the playing of the Kate Nash.
Oh come on.
She's only, what is she, like 13?
She's 14.
um dear adam and joe this is from ali i was at university with a boy called mark manson bar who was so insanely posh that the only possible thing to call him was mark panson bra when his brother came wait mark manson bar yeah that is an amazing name mark panson bra when his brother came up once to celebrate his birthday we simply called him thong this was 12 years ago
he's probably a lawyer now as well good my sister is the wigwam why it is the wigwam why
Here's why.
Her name is Fran.
Obviously after that was Flan.
Then Fat Flan.
Then Cheese Flan.
Then Cheese Flan the cheesy wigwam.
Finally abbreviated to the simple form wigwam.
That's from Rowan.
Very good.
Pretty good.
Wiggles would have been nice after that as well.
Could have popped to Wiggles in there.
Timothy Parry says my brother Simon has seen his name mutate in the following fashion over the last 20 years.
Simon.
Paimon.
Very common.
Fair enough.
From Paimon to Pi.
From Pi to Pig.
From Pig to Gip.
There's Pig backwards.
From Gip to Skip.
From Skip to Moses Skip Tanu.
What?!
After Kenyan distance runner Moses...
Kip Tanwee.
Kip Tanwee.
Is that how you say it?
I don't know.
To Moses to Moe.
Uh huh.
Yeah, that's pretty good isn't it?
That's very nice.
I also call my cat Delia Monkeyface due to her similarity to Ariesis Macaw but recently found out that Monkeyface... Oh, I'm not reading that.
You check these before you read them.
No I don't, I don't have time, there's so many of them.
Okay you're allowed two more and then we have to wrap up.
Two more, alright, alright.
Text the nation this week.
Oh gosh.
You've still got more music to play.
My name is Sarah which became Saz which became Sooz which inexplicably became Squidooz, Sooz Squidoodle which was shortened to Squid which is what my mum still calls me today but when I answer to Squid in mixed company people give me funny looks.
Hmm.
It's always strange when parents do keep working the nickname in public.
Your parents don't have an insane nickname for you, do they?
My dad calls me Bobo.
Does he?
And he sometimes calls me that quite loudly in the street.
In the street.
Hello, Bobo!
Bobo!
I love it.
I love him and I love it.
He can do no wrong.
I never knew you were called Bobo by your dad.
He can hit me across the head with a cricket bat and I'd still give him a hug.
Yeah, exactly.
Especially if he called you Bobo just after he'd hit you.
Bobo.
There you go, take this Bobo.
Plus it's Bob Hoskins isn't it?
Exactly.
Bobo, Ooga Bobo.
Only the best.
Do you want one more?
Last one.
I can't tell you whether this is any good or not.
I haven't really read it.
This is from Helen.
An old friend of mine called Rachel decided when we were about 13 that she wanted to be known as Pick from now on.
We found this a difficult transition, so to ease ourselves in, we came up with a string of nicknames.
To begin with, Pick became Pickles or Captain Pickles.
Following the Pickle Good Strand, she became Picklelily.
This inevitably became Piccadilly Circus.
There was even a song for her.
Pick, pick, pick, pick, pickles.
Lay a little egg for me.
But I'm not sure where that one came from.
Came from the post-war variety halls.
So she, she could never have foreseen that.
Why did she want to be called pick in the first place?
I don't know.
That's bizarre.
Being called Helen, I've been called Nelly Smelly Nelly Nelly the Elephant Melon Lemon and when I was in school, one of my best friends latched on to hell.
Yeah, I've been to hell and back.
Thanks very much for all your texts and emails this week.
We really appreciate all of them, and sorry if we didn't read yours out.
You know, we don't want to get into a big fight about it, OK?
But we'll be back, of course, next week with more of the same sort of stuff.
From the nation's favourite feature, Text-A-Nation.
Feels like we should have an outro jingle.
Yeah, you did well there.
We've never really sort of closed it or wrapped it up in.
I was wrapping it up.
That felt really good.
I'll put a little bow on it there for you.
Now here's the strokes with When It Started.
Pretty fun
Inside.
That's brilliant, man.
That's one of my favourite songs by The Strokes.
I think that is a B-side of a, er, maybe The Last Night's single.
It's just a smash.
I wouldn't mind some more strokes, please.
They must be working on something new.
Another slice of strokes.
They're too busy being very rich and swanning around in New York.
And sexy.
And sexy.
Have they got rid of all their celebrity girlfriends?
I think they might have done, you know.
I think they may have done.
It's a wise move.
It's always a wise move.
Better to be normal.
Safer.
Get rid of Decadent, eh?
Surely.
Hey, listen, earlier we were talking about the what we believe to be currently the worst film poster on display in the Great British Isles, which is for a film called The Accidental Husband.
Got a dreadful example of low resolution photoshoppery on Colin Firth's face.
Yeah, very low res.
And a number of people have emailed in pointing out other...
Photoshop style inconsistencies in film posters and this we're thinking this could kind of run as a sort of minor strand because it's often very frustrating when you see a film poster and you know the body is clearly a different person than the head the other thing they do sometimes is is to flip the image round from left to right you know to do it to mirror the image
yes if someone is facing the wrong way and they want them to just face from left to right rather than the other way around they just flip it round but when you do that to a picture it often looks very weird something odd happens if like if you just flip round a picture of someone you know or whatever they look wrong if you mirror that image it's well especially if they're wearing something that has a word on it exactly or something
Then it's completely backwards, but someone sent in an email saying this is from Mike Wheatley.
He says, I'm glad it's not just me.
I saw that poster on London Bridge the other day.
I'm a retoucher by trade, so I notice rubbish Photoshop work as a matter of course.
I can understand why they won't be able to shoot the three of those actors together, but it looks like Firth had his shot done by the local free paper photographer.
They've spent the retouching budget on her face to make her look like a Stepford wife.
He's way too magenta.
Next on my film poster hit list is the new film Get Smart.
Have a look at his left foot.
You see it from full on underneath.
There's no way on earth he can have it in that position.
Get Smart.
Who stars in Get Smart?
It's Mr Man, Dan in real life, Mr... Oh, Steve Carell.
Yeah, Steve Carell.
He's going on a little downward spiral there, isn't he?
The trailer's got a couple of funny moments, so the jury's out on Get Smart.
But I'm gonna keep an eye out for that poster.
If anyone else spots some, you know, some dodgy photoshopper-y on film posters, do let us know.
Impossible foot.
Now, here's my final choice for you this week, listeners.
This is by Suicide.
They're from New York, and they're kind of a crazy art punk band.
And this, if you remember, if you listened to us last year, we did songs based on, for Song Wars, songs based on the instructions from IKEA Meatballs.
And my song, Meatballs, was more or less based on this track by Girl.
It's sexy.
It's minimal.
It's suicide.
Do you know how?
Touch my side
I'll turn me on
Turn me on.
Oh girl.
Oh, you know how.
Stop it.
You're touching my cakes.
Don't touch my cakes.
Don't touch my cakes.
That's why he's like the guy.
Is he?
Martin Rev, is he called?
My profiterole is glazed with honey.
You have touched it with your fingers.
Now there's stickiness on your fingers from my profiterole.
Licks the stickiness from your fingers.
I can't finish my sausages.
My profiterole has become stuck to this doily.
Would you like my sausage?
Peel the doily from the profiterole.
He's not German, I don't know why I'm doing that voice.
But that's what he sounds like.
He sounds like a filthy German man.
That's disgusting.
That was Girl by Suicide.
This is Adam and Joe here on 6 Music.
It's pretty much it for the show this week, folks.
Yeah, we must remind you that you are able to listen to this entire show live on the BBC 6 Music website or you can go to iTunes or the 6 Music website or I don't know, other sites what do podcasts and download the edited version as of 6pm tomorrow.
It only stays up there for a week, don't forget.
You gotta be quick.
Yeah, people have emailed us to ask us why the, you know, the iTunes thing doesn't have a back catalogue of
of podcasts but that's something to do with the great British castles licensing laws the whole big contract between the tax paying public and the big British contract yeah no one understands it the thing you have to do is subscribe if you just press the subscribe button on iTunes they'll pop into your inbox then you can keep them at home then you can upload them to BitTorrent which would be wrong no but there's sure to be some nutter out there collecting them
And you may have read if in certain trade publications this week that we're where plans are underfoot for a new hour long sort of podcast stroke album thing.
We haven't quite decided on it.
We're still feeling a little anxious about the idea of charging for it.
We don't want to think the problem is that you know, you put all the work into it, you need to
get a little you need to get paid for the time and everything but then you don't want to rip off the the public you know it's just i'm i'm rambling i'm voicing concerns in my brain anyway we'll let you know when that all finally materializes that's the end of the show though thank you very much for listening thank you to everybody who's texted and emailed um i'll be back with you the week after next next week a very special guest dj yeah goth jennings is going to be with me next week liz kershaw is coming up but right now here's ting tings take care have a good week bye
With your indigestion Swallow words one by one Folks got high at a quarter to five Don't you feel you're growing up undone?
Nothing but the local DJ Said he had some songs to play
What when the town from this bullet around Gave hope and a brand new day Imagine all the girls
The drums, the drums, the drums The drums, the drums, the drums The drums, the drums, the drums Nothing was the same again
