Oh, that's nice.
It's mellow.
It's a mellow way to start the show.
Er, this is Adam and Jo.
That was Jack Johnson with Breakdown kicking us off this Saturday afternoon.
Shall I play our opening jingle?
It was the one we accused of being advert music last week, wasn't it?
Er, yeah, yeah, but it's nice advert music.
We've changed our tune.
Yeah, I like it.
You accused it of being advert music.
Yeah, well, I just lump everything on both of us.
to me, I find it uplifting.
Now, we're gonna sort your mic out, Joe, cause you're sounding a bit binny.
I never know what you'll say.
Did you see the Labour Party conference?
No, but I taped it and I'm watching it tonight.
I'm not sure about that new TV show.
see the show about what did the Joan Baez kept interrupting his songs I'm not sure about that new TV show That sounds interesting, let's talk about it Let's start talking now
I sounded great last week.
Why do I sound all binny?
It's something to do with Alex Sane.
He's been messing around with everything.
He's been messing around with everything.
But thanks very much, Alex, for a great show.
A good lead-in, a fun atmosphere when we came into the studio.
Oh, I'm going on strike.
This is terrible.
Uh, we'll sort you out.
Come around here.
Come and talk in my mic.
I can't.
Come on.
That's a bit better.
That's a bit better.
There you go.
That's a bit better.
So, listeners, we've got amazing competition-za this week, and amazing stuff to give away.
We've got Curb Your Enthusiasm box sets.
Which series is that, Al?
This is series four.
Series four?
We've got three Curb Your Enthusiasm box sets.
Supposedly, the word on the street is series four is a return to form after a slightly shaky series three.
Really?
The word on the street?
Yeah.
How do you hear the word on the street?
Dizzy Rascal.
Do you ask your drug dealer?
No, no, Dizzy Rascal tells me.
really yeah okay and we've also got uh tickets to kinky boots to give away this is an ongoing xfm promotion i think they've been being handed out all day on the station yeah so we can't claim to have anything you know amazingly special but the film itself is awesomely special and it's an amazing event the premiere right tickets to the premiere yeah and it's
the only people who have those.
Yeah.
Oh, the Adam and Jo radio show, the only people who've got Premier tickets.
Everyone else just has screening tickets.
Ah, there we go.
So we've got the best Kinky Boots tickets.
Plus we've got tickets for a couple of events at Resfest, the digital film festival that's happening at the NFT.
We'll tell you more about those a bit later, but fantastic tickets there.
What else have we got?
Oh man, we've got good music.
I'm excited.
I haven't
I hadn't heard some of this stuff.
The New Strokes single, which I'm very- I'm being told it's good, Juice Boxx, and, uh- Have we got the Arctic Monkeys?
Cos everybody's writing about the Arctic Monkeys at the moment, Adam.
They're the latest, uh, major bands.
Are they real?
Yeah, the Ar- Have you not heard of the Arctic Monkeys?
I hadn't heard of the Arctic Monkeys until the day before yesterday.
Every single publication I opened had something about the Arctic Monkeys.
The Monkeys?
A new band.
Is that what they're called?
A new band can just be launched into the public consciousness within the space of 24 hours these days.
Like the Paddington's.
I've never heard of them.
Who are they?
I wish you could see the press pack that the Paddington's have sent through.
It's very funny.
Have we got it?
Yeah.
I've never heard of the Paddington's.
Maybe they're brilliant.
They may well be brilliant, but they don't look brilliant.
Are we playing the Arctic Monkeys?
You look absolutely ludicrous.
If not, why not?
There's a picture of the singer, Tommy Shoeshine.
And he's probably listening.
He's got a dirty- he's got like a dirty vest on and he's wearing blue braces and he's standing and he hasn't shaved and his hair's messy and he's holding a beer.
Tommy Shoeshine from the Paddington's.
Oh, we haven't got the Arctic Monkeys.
Can we play the Arctic Monkeys anyway?
I'd like to hear it after wasting all my brain time reading about them.
All right, here's a band that we do know about, uh, the Magic Numbers.
Incidentally, did you read that, um, in August sometime, the Magic Numbers pulled out of Top of the Pops because Richard Bacon made some unkind comments about them?
Yes.
He said, now here's a big fat melting pot of talent, and they- they said, no, we're not going on after that intro.
Where were you in August?
You were in Edinburgh.
I was in Edinburgh, I didn't hear about that.
Yeah, big story.
Was that a big story?
It was a big story, yeah.
Wow.
I'm glad that they pulled out of it.
Everyone was saying, oh, I'll get a sense of humor, but I don't think that you require a sense of humor to understand that joke.
It's not funny.
Not funny.
It's pathetic.
If you invite someone on your pop show, you don't insult them in a really lame way before they go on the stage.
It's true.
Do you agree or do you think I need to get a sense of humor?
Are we gonna hear some magic numbers?
Yeah, I'll shut up and play some music instead.
Love me like you.
I am a robot.
I'm from the 80s.
I am a robot from space.
That's cool.
Can you leave now, robot from space?
Yes, I will leave now.
I am dancing.
Listeners are texting us and saying that the beginning of the Magic Numbers track sounds like the Only Fools and Horses theme tune.
Is that true?
Can we listen to it again?
Alright.
No.
It does a bit, doesn't it?
Does it?
Well, how does the Only Fools and Horses theme tune go?
All I can think of is Chaz and Dave.
It sounds a bit like a Chaz and Dave song, doesn't it?
No, it doesn't.
It sounds a bit like they're beginning to rap it.
If you texted us and if you can sing the theme tune to Only Fools and Horses, give us a call.
Or play it down the phone.
And we'll get you to sing it along to the beginning of the magic numbers.
How do you think of these ideas, man?
Well, I'm just a radio genius.
You're a radio genius.
Yeah, thanks, man.
And that's also the number you need to enter our competition.
We've got amazing prizes this week.
Curb Your Enthusiasm DVD box sets, tickets to see an exclusive XFM screening of Kinky Boots, tickets to the premiere of Kinky Boots.
Who's in Kinky Boots?
Oh, Kinky Boots.
Uh, Chewie.
Chewie.
Chewie, who lives across the street from us, Adam.
Does he?
Yeah, in South London.
He lives just across the street from me, therefore, just two streets across from me.
Chewie's got an unpronounceable name, and... Egewinderfor, or something.
I'm just guessing.
Egewinderfor.
It was written down here earlier on.
He's very good.
He's very good.
He's in Dirty Pretty Things.
I've never met him, but you know, I've always thought, well, why don't I just go over the street and knock on his door and say, hey, Chewy, I'm in the media.
I do a radio show.
You're in movies.
Let's chat about what it's like.
Yeah.
I can tell you about radio.
You can tell me a little bit about movies.
He'd love that.
We'd be good friends.
Absolutely.
You should do it.
Will you do it this week and then tell us how it goes?
I'll give him the Adam and Joe DVD.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
This is some of my work.
Do you know what?
I gave the Adam and Joe DVD to, um, Brian Eno.
Oh, yeah.
In person?
Yeah.
And then I read an article where he was saying, uh, I never watch television.
And, um, I certainly never watch anything that's ever given to me to watch.
Oh, what did he say when he gave it to you?
Uh... Did he make it sound as if he was gonna watch it?
No, he didn't really.
Where was this anyway?
Uh, he was doing some recording with Travis.
Right.
And, uh, I went along to spy on them.
Right.
And, uh, watch, cause I was- I'm a big Brian Eno fan.
Yeah, and so you gave him the DVD and he said- He just said, oh, thanks very much.
That was it, really.
He's lying to you.
And he just sort of put it down.
And he sort of looked at the back in that way you do.
You know, you've got to show a bit of interest.
It's like when I gave the Adam and Joe book to Beck.
Oh yeah, what did he say about that?
He did- he flicked through it.
And he- he stopped at a page, one of your pages, I think, about what to do when you're at home alone.
Oh dear.
And he sort of- and he went, heh, scare your tits off.
And, er, he chuckled.
He chuckled.
There's a lot of Adam and Joe merchandise in celebrity bins, we feel.
Yeah.
Nick Frost is in Kinky Boots, of course.
Yeah, that's true, Nick Frost.
There you go.
Yes.
For Frosty fans.
So when are we gonna do a competition?
Let's do it after this, er, next track and some adverts.
OK.
What are we gonna do, celebrity regression?
Shall we do some- yeah, for old time's sake.
We'll do some celebrity regression.
The number's 08712221049.
Stand by your phones.
Right, let's have some music and then some adverts.
Wow.
come on that's the pixies with allison one minute and 17 seconds you can't beat that can you if only all songs one minute 17 seconds um and we've got someone on the phones who's going to sing the only fools and horses is it jeff and jeff well we're not going to do it right now we're going to play some ads first but stay with us listeners if you want to hear jeff we're going to find out the truth about whether the opening to the magic number sounds like the only fools and horses theme courtesy of jeff so what do you want yeah exactly nothing
I do love music and I do love XFM.
Are you ready?
Yeah alright, come on.
We've got Geoff on the line.
Hello, Geoff.
Are you there, Geoff?
Hello.
Hey, thanks for holding, Geoff.
Yeah, no problem.
Geoff is calling today from Rumford.
Can I just say, this is the clearest line we've ever had here on XFM, Geoff.
Is it?
Yeah.
I've just been walking about trying to get signals, so... Is it?
I think you've just got amazingly fresh breath, is what's doing it.
I can almost smell the mintiness.
Listen, Geoff, so we had these texts in from our listeners that apparently the beginning of the Magic Numbers single, Love Me Like You, sounds like the opening to the theme to Only Fools and Horses.
Well, I know what it's saying.
Well, so to test this, you claim that you can sing the theme tune to Only Fools and Horses.
Is that right?
I'll give it a go.
So we're gonna play the opening to the magic numbers and you, Geoff, are gonna attempt to sing the beginning to Only Fools and Horses over it to test this theory, right?
OK.
It's not easy, cos you've only got, like, four bars and then they're straight in singing, so you're gonna have to start, like... You're gonna have to start.
If you get it wrong the first time, we can try it again, Geoff.
Are you ready?
I'm ready.
Shall we count him in?
Count him in now.
Yeah.
Good luck, Geoff.
One, a two, a one, two, three, four...
OK, OK, now I think listeners should just hold that in their heads and now let's hear a snatch of the real theme to Only Fools and Horses to compare.
That was so weird and slow.
That was pretty good, Geoff.
That was amazing.
That was similar.
It was a bit of a shaky start, but it really came together at the end there.
You've got a lovely voice.
Thank you.
So what's going on?
What do we conclude from this?
The magic numbers are fans of Only Fools and Horses.
They're stealing things.
indie bands are basically lazy people they get drunk a lot and they watch a lot of TV and all and it sort of just seeps in there they're into their spongy heads like for example Jeff check out this song this is the new single by the strokes which has a remarkable it sounds like the monsters or Batman I thought as well yeah hey Jeff thanks a lot for calling in shall we give Jeff something yeah Jeff are you into curb your enthusiasm yeah are you really it's good
Yeah, do you want a box set of DVDs of Series 3?
Can we give them that?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Have to now.
Come on then.
Yeah?
Geoff?
How about it?
Thank you very much, that'd be lovely.
Hey, there we go.
Thanks for calling Geoff.
Yeah, we appreciate it.
OK, so we'll play this stroke single, the Batman single, and then afterwards, shall we do some celebrity regression?
Yes sir.
OK.
The Strokes are banned at a difficult stage in their career.
Yeah.
They're not white hot and fresh and new anymore.
They're not like Franz Ferdinand.
Exactly.
So they're just, are they still selling records?
Are people still buying The Strokes?
Are they still charting?
Well, I don't know.
This is their new single for a while.
I think their second album sold pretty well, didn't it?
Yeah.
Well, good luck to them.
They've got great hair.
there's a lot of ideas in that song are there i don't know yeah it seems like about four different tracks all bashed together okay that's their hallmark isn't it so the phone number is 0 8 7 1 triple 2 1 0 4 9 uh dial that if you want to enter celebrity regression what are we gonna give away adam as prizes more curb your enthusiasm box sets
Well, yeah, I think people should be allowed to take their pick.
You know, that's the most exciting thing, isn't it?
To choose your prize.
Yeah.
OK, well, call 08712221049.
If you can guess, basically, who, what star Adam is being regressed into the mind of, and what films.
Erm, if you're not a regular listener to the show, this competition might make no sense at all.
But basically, I'm going to psychically regress, Adam.
Psychically?
What's the word?
Telepathically?
No, what's the word?
Er... Hypnotically?
Yeah.
Regress, Adam.
Psychically would have... It's like what they do on Richard and Judy or Phil and Fern, isn't it?
There's even a show called Celebrity Regression Therapy.
It's got its own show now, hasn't it?
OK, we're going to regress Adam into the mind of a famous film star.
He's going to wake up in this hypnotic state and sort of experience these- some of the films of this star around him.
You just have to listen to his, uh, what he says and call in.
Oh, it's 7-1-2-1-0-4-9 to win those box sets.
All right, here we go.
You ready?
This is always tough.
and just relax whether you're at home or in your car or walking along the street wearing your headphones take a deep breath inflate the stomach exhale through the nose and relax close your eyes not if you're driving don't close your eyes just half close them
And we're drifting back, drifting back, all the way back.
You're ten years old, you're five years old, you're four years old, you're one years old.
You're a little fetus.
You're a tiny little sperm that deserves wriggling around in your daddy's 90s.
And now I'm requesting you into the life and body of a Hollywood superstar.
Adam, when you wake up, you will be inhabiting the films and the body of this star.
Wake up and tell us what you see now.
I'm in an office.
I'm in an office room.
I'm angry.
I'm in an office and I'm angry because I'm tough.
You've got to be tough.
If you want to succeed in this game, I'm telling you because you can't get ahead.
You understand me being soft or nice or nice to people because that's for losers, you knocker.
Okay?
You can't get ahead if you're going to be like that.
I'm the best in the selling game.
I could sell you all kinds of things, for example forks.
I could sell you a trapeze.
You want to buy a kite?
No, I don't need a kite.
Yes, you do need a kite.
Okay, I'll buy one.
You see?
That's how it's done, because I'm the best at selling in the selling game, you knocker.
Have you got me?
Okay, buy this lamp.
Do you understand me?
Buy it.
Buy these puppets.
Do you want to buy a folder?
I got a shelf.
Okay, just breathe.
You want a shelf?
That's the first film.
0871221 049, if you've got who that is and what film it is, let's regress Adam into another of this Starz film.
So, Adam, wake up and tell us what you see.
I'm in a... I'm in a train station.
It's... I've got a whistle and a flag because I work here and it's a train station.
I'm depressed.
I'm considered to be one of the finest actors, the screen actors of my generation, maybe.
Just by myself, I don't know.
But I'm... I'm running out of magic gold dust.
Do you understand me?
I'm depressed about it.
And I gotta deal with some troublesome diesels, and they've been causing problems, and there's a guy from Easy Rider over there, I gotta deal with him, it's tough, I'm telling you!
I'm not gonna lie to you, and if you come up against me as an actor, then you better know your marbles, because I'm considered to be the best!
Do you understand me?
I'm the best, and it's magic gold!
Okay, just breathe, just breathe.
this can be dangerous we'll just take them into one final incarnation of this star oh eight seven one triple two one over four nine if you can guess what star this is and what the films are okay adam wake up tell us what you see oh i'm i'm in a hotel room it's an
in London and I'm angry and I'm angry again because the room service is bad and I'm being rude to the room service man because I'm pretending to be famous and that's what famous people do we get angry about room service in fact here's the thing in fact in real life I'm famous and I'm not credited in this film so it's exciting for people to see me pretending to be famous and I've got a famous girlfriend in the film and she's in fact really famous as well and in fact the room service guy is also famous but he's pretending that he isn't famous
It's exciting and confusing at the same time, and I'm uncredited in the film, and it's for people watching, it's exciting.
OK, just relax, just relax.
OK, Adam's going to remain in his hypnotic state until you call in and tell us who that star was and what the films were.
If you get them right, he will wake up safe and normal.
If you get them wrong, he may be trapped in the body and the mind of that star forever.
Call 0871-222-1049 now!
There we go, that was Black Great with Kelly's Heroes.
Adam is of course in a regressed state because you join us in the middle of celebrity regression.
Oh, do you think that was the longest any DJ's ever waited to actually come in with the link as the record fades?
No.
Okay, so we've got two callers on the line who think they know which celebrity body Adam has been regressed into and what films he witnessed and told us about happening around him.
Michelle, are you there?
I am, yeah.
How are you doing?
OK, thanks.
Do you think you've got the answer to this question?
I don't know if I'm right, I really don't, but yeah, I've got an answer.
OK, well don't say anything yet.
When I tell you, I'd like you to say the name of the star who you think it is.
If you're correct, Adam will wake up his normal self.
If you're wrong, you may have permanently damaged him psychologically.
How do you feel about that, Michelle?
I feel bad.
You do feel bad, OK.
So, Michelle, say who you think it is now.
Tom Hanks.
No, he's stayed under, Michelle.
That's not good.
Why did you think it was Hankey's?
The anchor?
No, I thought it was that head in advertising, that's all.
But he's not in that.
How to get a head in advertising?
That's Richard E. Grant, Michelle.
I know, but I mean, there was some, oh, I don't know, it just seemed aggressive salesman.
I just, that came into my mind and I thought it was the, that cartoony thing when he was a train driver the other film.
The Polar Express, that cartoony thing, only the greatest 3D IMAX film ever made.
Is that what you were... It's something about fairy dust.
I thought maybe that was around.
Yeah, well, no, I'm afraid... You're right that Tom Hankey's plays all the parts in Polo Express, but it's not the hanker.
Sorry, Michelle.
We're going to have to let you go with nothing.
OK.
Nothing but a cold word.
OK.
And thanks for calling and listening.
We've got Charmilla on the line.
Is it Charmilla?
Yes, well, Charmilla.
Charmilla, there you go.
How are you doing?
I'm fine, thank you.
How are you?
Very well, thanks.
Thanks for calling.
Here is the moment when you either scar Adam for life or you win the competition.
Tell us who you think it is.
I think it's Alec Baldwin.
Oh, I'm awake.
That was exciting, wasn't it?
Well done.
Oh, that's amazing.
Congratulations, Sharmila.
How did you figure that one out?
Well, I got the Thomas the Tank Engine.
Ah, Thomas and the Magic Railroad, to give it its proper title.
Are you a mother?
No, I'm not.
I'm just sad.
How the hell do you know about Thomas and the Magic Railroad if you haven't got children?
Um, I don't know, I just remember seeing places where he was, he was on the poster.
He was a fat controller, wasn't he?
He was, I don't know if he was the, he just played the controller, because he's not a fat man.
He's just a bit lardy.
He's a bit lardy.
The lardy controller, they could have called him, but no, he was just the, the magic controller or whatever he was.
I don't know anyone who's actually seen Thomas the Magic Railroad, but I hear it's to be avoided, especially if you do have children.
Uh, how about the other films?
How about The Salesman?
Yeah, there you go.
Fantastic.
It was an amazing recreation of it, wasn't it?
And what about the last one where he's in a hotel room?
Fantastic.
His uncredited cameo in Notting Hill as, not himself, but someone called Geoff King, I think it was.
A famous man, Julia Roberts' boyfriend even.
So, Sharmila, you get to, you got them all right there, so you get to pick whether you want a copy of Curb Your Enthusiasm on DVD or whether you want tickets, and this is a good prize, to a talk, wait for it, by the legendary photographer Anton Corbin at the NFT tonight.
Wow, hello.
What are you going to go for, Sharmila?
Hang on, wait, he's worked with you two, The Killers, Nirvana, Johnny Cash, and Tepeshe Mode.
Um, oh, oh, I think Kerb, you're in D&D.
Who's that shouting in the background?
It's my boyfriend.
But hang on, boyfriend, what about two pairs of tickets to the Beck retrospective as part of ResFest at the NFT tomorrow?
He's confused.
I don't know which one.
How about, I think Curb Your Enthusiasm is what it's gonna be.
Exactly with that.
Hey, thanks so much for your call, Sharmila, and congratulations for getting all those right.
That was very impressive.
Right now, it's time for some adverts here on XFM.
We'll be back shortly.
This is Adam and Joe.
This is XFM.
They're so hot right now.
That's Franz Ferdinand.
They're so hot right now.
Now, I'm having a day when everything sounds like something else.
We've already had the magic numbers sounding a bit like the theme to Only Fools and Horses, and I'm convinced that sounds like Go West's We Close Our Eyes.
Yeah.
Do you remember that bit?
Yeah, I do.
Absolutely.
So we've sent Lila off to the record library to get the Go West single, because we might prove here this afternoon that Franz Ferdinand are basically just covering Go West songs.
You know, that could be a legal matter.
What do you mean?
For Go West, they could do some suing.
Me for saying that?
No, no.
The Franz Ferdinand for nicking their riffage.
Yeah, Go West could just sweep up all of Franz Ferdinand's profits.
It worked for The Stranglers and Elastica.
Yeah.
You know?
There's a bit of money to be made there.
Hey, so, Joe, have you seen big posters for this new drama on Sky One, an American thing called Weeds?
Yes, it's got a funny catchphrase.
I saw it on the way, and it's funny.
It's about a housewife who sells marijuana to make a living.
Yeah, it's basically a... I think it's the same story as Saving Grace, which was a film with Brenda Blephard a few years ago.
Yeah, it's something like, the kids go off to school, her customers go off to la-la land.
And they got several different ones because the one I saw said most mums cut the grass this one sells it Oh, I like the idea that if you inhale the fumes of marijuana you you're going off to La La Land That's the way only a mum would describe it.
Oh
Darling, you're off in La La Land again with your magic bananas.
That sort of thing.
Yeah.
But I was just thinking like, you know, it just struck me as odd that it was so upbeat.
And I was thinking they were missing a trick as well.
They could have had loads of other ones that they must have gone through several variations.
Yeah.
For taglines about, you know, a mum that deals drugs, basically.
I was thinking,
I came up with, most mums deal with kids who've weed themselves, this one deals weed to kids themselves.
Say that again?
Most mums deal with kids who've weed themselves, this one deals weed to kids themselves.
It sort of works, doesn't it?
I'm not saying that it was the best one, but I bet you they thought about it.
Most mums carve the joint.
This one passes it round.
You've got to use the word carve twice.
Oh.
Okay, well, I don't know.
How about this?
Most mums give their kid a little smack when they've been naughty.
This one gives them a little smack when they've been good.
That's not so good, is it?
Oh, that's just a different show.
I know it's a different show.
I'm thinking these are variations on different drug shows.
Okay.
Most mums serve coke at parties.
Yeah.
She forces kids to snort it.
What about, there's got to be a Charlie one that would be easy.
Charlie?
She's married to Charlie.
And she likes to snort it.
Most mums serve special K for breakfast.
She gets kids hooked on it.
That's not so good, is it?
If you can think of any, obviously, yeah, so we're not condoning.
the drug taking in any shape or form and I sincerely hope that Sky 1 doesn't start showing dramas about mums who do deal coke because I for one would not be laughing.
Well Sky 1 is showing the Weeds series and they're showing Kate Moss's horse drug shame on Monday.
Oh, really?
But anyway, we're not allowed to talk about that, so let's move swiftly on.
OK.
Apparently.
No horse drug shame.
No.
OK.
It is a shame that there's no horse drug shame.
There you go.
Shall we have some music and then come back and do this Amazing Friends Ferdinand Go West comparison?
Oh, yeah, have we got Go West?
Oh, no, we haven't got it.
We'll come back with a text competition then, and more prize giveaways.
It's not entirely surprising that we don't have Go West in the ex-femme library.
Floor above Capitol, their walls are papered with Go West CDs.
Can't we call Richard Blackwood and get him to send it up?
He works at Choice.
They wouldn't play Go West.
They might do.
Or would they?
They might play an amazing remix of it.
OK, yeah, we'll have a bit of music and then some ads to get us into the second hour here on a Saturday afternoon with Adam and Joe.
Here's a bit of a free play for you.
This comes from Orbital's compilation Back to Mine.
Or Back to Mine.
No, it's just Back to Mine, isn't it?
And it's a track they've put on there by Susan Cadogan called Don't Burn Your Bridges, which I certainly like very much.
And I hope you do too, listeners.
And you, Joe.
Thank you.
Well, it's a lovely song, but I've slightly sent myself to sleep there.
Is it an old song, Adam, or is it someone pretending to be an old singer?
No.
No, it is an old song.
Susan Cadogan.
And you can find that on Orbital's Back to Mind CD compilation.
This is Adam and Joe on XFM.
We'll be back shortly.
XFM.
Love music.
Love music.
Love XFM.
you
Yeah, you better believe it, buddy!
That's the Foo Fighters with DOA.
This is Adam and Joe on XFM this Saturday afternoon.
So, Joe Cornish, did you watch the Bob Dylan documentary last night?
No, I videoed it.
I haven't watched it yet.
To be perfectly honest, I respect Bob Dylan greatly, but I don't have an enormous passion for his music.
Is that wrong?
No, that's not wrong.
It's not to everyone's taste at all.
I taped it because I hoped it might, you know, make me realise what all the fuss was about.
Steve Laughs
that's true and also interviews with the man himself.
Right.
So it takes a sort of set piece interview and then uses that as the voiceover and then apparently has some amazing archive footage of his life.
Is that right?
Yeah, well it's got lots of really good little snippets of what life was like in those days, in the 60s.
The 60s.
I remember the 60s.
And amazing bits of footage of singers and performers that I'd never really heard of before.
This one woman called Odetta, a sort of black folk singer and she does an amazing-
had a surname.
No, she just calls herself Odetta.
Really?
Yeah.
I didn't think they did that in those days.
I think so.
I don't know.
But anyway, the whole thing was worth it for just this one bit of footage that seemed so modern and what she was doing.
I can't believe I'd never seen it before.
Anyway, I found it pretty entertaining.
But Bob himself, you gotta feel sorry for the guy, really, because what comes across mainly is that he's sat in the middle of this insane whirlwind of people talking about him and scrutinizing his life and his songs and all the meanings in his songs and everything.
And he's just going, well, I'm not bothered at all and I'm not going to tell you what it means because I don't know if it means anything.
Everyone's going, come on, it must mean something.
What does it mean?
Please tell us.
What does it mean?
It being his songs.
It's, yeah, or the messages in his songs, his lyrics and all these sort of things.
And he's going, well, there's not much to it really and I don't really want to talk about it and it means whatever you want it to mean.
And basically comes out with the same drivel that every other pop star in the world comes out with a lot of the time.
But you just think, well,
When are you going to get the message that you should just stop talking to him and trying to find out all these things?
Because he's fairly consistent about not being forthcoming.
You know what I mean?
I mean, that's the way you've got to be if you're an artist.
He's like the producers have lost.
Yeah, that's true.
He's not going to give anybody the answer.
Yeah.
Hey, speaking of which, why don't we get people to, uh, text it?
Well, we'll talk about that later.
But Bob, um, one of the things I felt sorry for Bob about was, uh, Joan Byers.
Now, do you know who Joan Byers is?
Yes, I do.
Yeah.
She's a singer.
She was a folkie as well.
She was more famous than Bob to begin with, and she kind of gave Bob a platform in the early days.
and then was crushed when he didn't really reciprocate when he was touring the UK.
Didn't pull her on stage the way that she'd done for him.
But there's so many funny shots of Bob starting to sing a song on stage somewhere, a darkly lit stage with a spotlight on him, and he'll start singing, How many roads must a man walk down?
And then suddenly she'll appear like a ghost from the darkness next to him and start harmonizing in her harpy voice and sort of, Before you could go, I'm a man!
Oh, it's shocking.
Is that bad, Dan?
It just cuts through you every time she opens her mouth, and there's a great bit of footage with him, uh, in a hotel room somewhere, and he's typing, apparently typing lyrics, you know, like he's just, stuff's coming out of his amazing frizzy head, and then she's behind him playing her guitar and sort of going, how many people must die before, you know, sort of...
Some kind of protest song in her amazingly shrill voice, and you're thinking, how could he get anything written whatsoever?
Presumably he's just typing, make her shut up.
If I hit her in the middle of the head with the typewriter, it might shut her up.
Oh, I don't know.
Maybe something like that.
It sounds good.
I'm looking forward to watching it.
It's got lots of good stuff in it, man.
Yeah, you should check it out.
Yeah, you know, cos I had to delete ITV's Avenue of the Stars to make room on my skybox for that.
Wow.
So it'd better be good.
So what about getting people to suggest some possible meanings to lost?
Like, basically, lost, if you don't know,
is this show about these people who get, I think most people probably know, they've crashed on a desert island and there's something weird about the desert island, they're not being rescued and gradually week by week we find out more weird things about the island.
So it seems fairly clear that there's only a few possible reasons for the weirdness of this island.
But we'd, uh, we'd like people to speculate what those reasons could be.
What is the secret to Lost?
So, um, you know, why not text him?
Do you think this is a good idea, Joe?
What do you think?
Yes, I think it's a very good idea.
I mean, it's a question a lot of people have been asking.
Well, exactly.
I just want to field some answers.
I'm genuinely interested.
But we're looking for stupid.
Well, I think we're looking for stupid answers.
Yeah, well, they can be stupid or serious.
I'm keen to hear both.
And what can people win?
Well, we've got these tickets to the Beck retrospective, the Resfest.
These are good prizes.
Resfest is a fantastic festival of digital film happening at NFT.
Used to happen at the ICA.
I think it's mostly at the NFT this year.
And it's got pop promos.
Last night they showed a brilliant documentary about insane trainer collectors.
I happen to know.
But they've got a brilliant programme of stuff all weekend and you can win tickets to their Beck retrospective.
All of his rare short films tomorrow afternoon.
Or you can win tickets to a Q&A with Anton Corbin.
The famous photographer.
And that's tonight I think.
Is it Lila at the NFT?
It's tonight.
He's like the most famous rock photographer of the 20th century.
So if you want to win those tickets, then give us your most ridiculous secret behind Lost.
You know, we'll just text in a begging text.
It's 83XFM.
Even if you don't want to win, I'd be curious to hear your theories about what the secret to Lost is.
OK, more music now.
This is Block Party.
That's good, isn't it?
block party.
Two more years.
Yeah.
Hey, we should say hello to Ian.
I think Ian Morris is doing a terrible drive to somewhere appalling and listening to the show.
Hello, Ian.
Thanks for listening.
Glad you're enjoying it.
Um, are we gonna play Arctic- the Arctic Monkeys?
Yeah, we'll play the Arctic Monkeys in just a second.
I'm so excited.
Are you really excited?
I'm so excited, yeah.
I just wanna say as well, thanks very much to Newala from, uh, Coco, which used to be the Camden Palais, or Palais?
Watch it.
Pala- Palace.
Palais.
I got confused for a second there.
Er, yeah, I went to see Spoon last night at Coco.
Good venue!
I'm not just saying that because, er, she put me on the door, but it's really lovely there.
Steve You're obsessed with Spoon.
Ricky I am a total Spoon obsessive.
Steve Are you equally obsessed with the new channel 4 sketch show Spoons?
Ricky Erm... Steve Did you see that?
Ricky No.
No, no, was it good?
I- I didn't see it.
I wonder if any- I wonder if anybody out there, listeners, did you see the Channel 4 sketch show, Spoons, last night?
I- I auditioned for that show.
Did you?
Yeah.
What did you- what did they make you do?
Uh, it was a sketch about a guy, uh, coming to- he's coming- comes out of the lab from- at a dinner party, and he sits down at the dinner table, posh dinner party, and he starts talking about his- What he's done in the- I- I've seen that sketch, yeah.
that's on spoons isn't it that's on spoons yeah that was on the pilot if anyone saw spoons last night on channel 4 text us 83 xfm let us know uh how good it was let's have a litmus test a sort of uh what do they call it the nelson ratings you know just see how our listeners rated it yeah yeah i've been curious to see apparently i don't know i haven't heard anything about it really and there's the nick frost one the um what's it called the one about men and women
Swinging on Channel 5?
No, no.
He's known that, no.
Oh.
X and Y or he said, she said?
Something like that.
I don't know.
Is it time for the Arctic Monkeys yet?
Are you really excited about the Monkeys, are you?
I'm so excited about the Arctic Monkeys.
Sheffield's most exciting quartet.
I'm not sure this is going to be up your alley.
OK, let's have a listen.
Wow!
The Arctic Monkeys, the hottest band in the world as of about 48 hours ago, according to every newspaper in the country.
Do you know what?
I've got a theory.
What's your theory?
It's taken me the length of that record to come up with a theory.
That's just the streets for rock fans, isn't it?
He's got the same lyrical approach, the same basic honesty and like descriptions of people in clubs and picking up girls.
It's sort of the lyrical angle of the streets or the Mitchell Brothers or basically what's happening in what they call grime, but bleeding through to indie music.
It's not a joke, it's bloody serious.
I just like the idea of you thinking about it.
Did you like it though?
I thought the most interesting thing about it was his lyrics and the delivery of the lyrics.
I thought it was pretty good.
What's the name of the track?
I bet you look good on the dance floor.
I bet you look good on the dance floor.
I bet you look good on the dance floor.
I bet you look good on the dance floor.
Did I call her Newala?
Newla?
Is that how you pronounce it?
I would pronounce it Newala.
Newala?
Newla?
Listen, I had a good time, that's the main thing.
Although I never learn my lesson about gigs.
I'm too short for gigs.
I couldn't really see a lot of the time.
And everyone was just much taller than me.
And then I tried to stand on things and stuff, but the security guards kept on coming over and pushing me off and going, Get down!
Well, you're lucky to be short.
I'm too tall for gigs.
I look like the lanky alien coming out of the spaceship in Close Encounters.
What do you mean, too tall?
You can see everything.
I can't dance.
Everyone can see me when I dance.
What kind of gigs do you go to?
And I hit people in the face.
You don't dance for gigs.
Sorry, that's true.
When I pogo, my head ends up through the ceiling.
Wow.
Hey, have we got any lost techs in?
We have.
Oh, brilliant.
Shall we do a record, then read them?
Yeah, yeah.
I should filter them, really.
We should play some ads first.
We'll be back shortly.
I love music.
What was he saying there?
My sonner, my summer girl.
My summer girl, isn't it?
He's not saying that.
Why, how do you know?
I've listened really carefully to it, and he's not saying summer.
Yeah, well that's the secret to singing in pop music, isn't it?
Just singing comprehensibly.
walking comprehensively.
That's the key.
Listen, we should put some of our text competitions to bed, because we had sort of two on the go, one wasn't a competition, but Adam was asking people what they thought the stupidest possible explanation for lost could be.
Do you want to hear some of our listeners' responses, Adam?
there was a good one somewhere.
There's so many texts here, it's hard to figure out which one is the good one.
Oh, the plane has been seriously delayed.
This might not be the good one.
And the island is an airport virtual reality distraction designed to stop them complaining.
So actually still in Heathrow or JFK.
Yeah.
Yeah?
That's quite good, isn't it?
That is quite good.
You better react to that because that's one of the better ones.
OK, it's only going to go downhill from here.
Each of the survivors will be kept on the island and be closely monitored until they can collectively come up with a reason for the existence of Sadie Frost.
Sadie Frost.
A bit of satire.
Yeah, that's anonymous.
Sadie Frost.
They're actually on the Isle of Man, surely enough to turn anyone crazy.
That's quite- that's alright.
That's quite good.
I'm still chuckling about Sadie Frost.
I think lost secret is that the island was in fact a testing ground for genetically engineered creatures.
That's just a serious answer though, isn't it?
Yeah, either that or the island secretes an ether that taps into everyone's subconscious.
I do that!
And gives them the best trips or nightmares of their lives.
I secrete an ether.
I secrete an ether.
I secrete an ether.
You see, a lot of people just think they're in limbo.
Because let's face it, this is a question that's being asked by many mags at the moment.
They haven't decided yet though, have they?
Because they're still writing the show.
But here's my favourite one.
It's a holiday resort for polar bears.
The polar bears shoot down planes so word doesn't get out in case it all gets too commercial like Goa.
good, who wrote that?
Ricky uh, that is from Paul in Isleworth, so maybe we should offer Paul, uh, those tickets to the Corbyn Q&A at ResFest tomorrow, or the Beck retrospective- no, tonight is the Corbyn- Steve What was the- there was an amateur dramatics one as well.
Ricky Yeah, yeah, uh, they're an amateur dramatics group who are over-egging it in the Eden Project, that's from Vix in North London.
Steve That was- that's sort of realistic.
But I like Paul's- I like- let's give Paul a prize.
And you know, also Tanya texted in and she just basically just texted in that she's desperate for the Anton Corbin Q&A tickets so we'll get you a pair too as well, Tanya.
We want you to be happy.
We just- we want everyone to be as happy as possible.
Now, uh, we've got Dizzy's in the Dock coming up, where Joe and myself battle it out for who gets to play the last song of the two hours here on XFM.
That's true, and everybody who gets, uh, on air the best of five wins tickets to the XFM screening of Kinky Boots, and the deciding vote will win tickets to the premiere.
Wow.
Hey, that's pretty good.
Shall we have some more music now?
Yes.
Now, this is this track that does really sound a lot like something from a commercial.
It's Sébastien Télier and La Ritornelle.
Ooh la la.
It's like some music from an advert for a lady product.
Fresh!
Lovely spritzer!
That's La Retornelle by Sébastien Tellier.
Now we were asking you what you thought of the Hot New Channel 4 sketch show, Spoons, and it's a mixed response from our listeners, Adam.
Many saying it was brilliant, some saying it was rubbish.
Well, there's always going to be people saying it's rubbish, but I think it's good if it's not unanimous.
Yeah.
You know, what are the people saying, are they just saying brilliant and they're not going any further than that?
They're saying one or two chuckles, brilliant.
They're saying better than that thing with, what's his face, I've forgotten his name now, the man that drinks a lot of beer.
Johnny Vegas.
Yeah.
What was it?
19 Stone of Video.
Better than that.
So I think that's a thumbs up for Spoons.
We'll have to check it out next week.
I'm excited about that.
Is that a Friday night thing?
Yes.
But I'll have to miss Balls of Steel.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Is that finished now?
No, no, no.
I think it's going on forever, can't it?
It's going on forever, excellent.
Re-commissioned.
Until the end of the world.
Someone, um, texted in and said- I was asking what Beck was saying in Girl, when he goes, nuts on a girl.
Someone said, it's my sun-eyed girl, you retard.
Well that's the correct answer, isn't it?
My sun-eyed girl.
My sun-eyed girl.
But it sounds just like, nuts on a girl.
Which is better.
Naughty.
Nuts on a go.
So listen, it's nearly ditties in the dock time, the time when you get to choose between two records to play out the show with.
We haven't got a theme this week, Adam, have we?
No, we didn't sort a theme out.
So it's just going to be a random ditties in the dock.
This is the way we used to do it.
Yeah.
In the old days.
Just two records that we want to play.
yeah exactly no connection between them at all other than that so the numbers 0 8 7 1 triple 2 1 and 4 9 will pitch both the records everyone who gets through wins tickets to the xfm screening of kinky boots and the deciding call wins tickets to the premiere i will do that after these adverts shall we yeah yeah yeah okay let's do that we'll be right back
Tongue-tied, wearing roses I'm thinking about myself, where will you go?
I'm thinking, I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking
Hey, look, sorry I messed up there.
That was a brilliant preview of the next song.
Yeah, that was like a tease.
A tease?
Yeah, this is what we do on the show now, we tease songs.
Yeah, it's a new way of doing things.
It's a new look, just like Time Out magazine.
OK, so it's time for Ditties in the Dock, and here is the theme that everybody loves, that introduces Ditties in the Dock.
Keep filling.
Here it comes, the big theme.
Yeah, nice to meet you.
Nice.
Oh, how slick, man.
So it's time for Did It In The Dark, two songs, one chosen by me, the other chosen by Adam.
It'll be the song that plays out the show, but you the listeners get to decide which one it'll be.
Call 08712221049 to vote for either the song that Adam is about to pitch to you, or the song that I'm going to pitch to you.
Ad, why don't you start?
OK, now, there's a kind of a twisty reason for this, but I was watching Lost the other day and they mentioned Finding Nemo, but they can't seem to mention a lot of shows by name.
So they have these lame pop cultural references in Lost, but they don't actually mention the show.
So she's saying, you know that kid's film, the one with the fish?
And they were all going, yes, why don't you just say Finding Nemo?
Anyway, she says, you know the song at the end?
Basically, it turns out that the map that they find on the island has lots of French words on it, and they're trying to figure out what the words mean.
And it turns out that they are, in fact, the lyrics to the original version of Beyond the Sea, which is the song that Robbie Williams murders at the end of Finding Nemo.
I'm proposing to play the original version, which is by Bobby Darin.
uh of beyond the sea it's a lovely song and it'll just redress the balance there's a there's too much williams and not enough darren in the world uh and that's it beyond the sea so if you want to hear beyond the sea by bobby darren you have to call oh 871-222-1049 but if that's the last thing you want to hear on this saturday mid-afternoon then maybe you want to hear the following i've got news for our listeners and for you adam it's news from the streets
And it's a shocking wake-up call to... Well, no, I can't construct this sentence properly.
It's a shocking wake-up call to everybody to show you what young people are basically rapping and singing about on the streets.
What is it?
One of our sacred cultural institutions.
Countdown.
The program Countdown.
Yeah.
The theme music to it, as people do their conundrums, has been cruelly stolen by a gang of ruffians called... What are they called?
I've written down their name.
They're called the Young Guns.
And they do an extremely aggressive urban grime rap over the theme to Countdown.
That's disrespectful.
You won't like it, but it's important you hear it so you can understand what the new generation are going to do with our sacred national icons.
So I want you to call 08712221049 and vote for Countdown.
In fact, it's called Countdown Riddim, and it's spelled R-I-double-D-I-N.
Countdown Riddim by the Young Guns.
That's not how you spell rhythm!
That's not how you spell rhythm!
O-8-7-1-triple-two-one-o-four-nine.
So that's it for Dizzies in the Dock.
It's Countdown Riddim versus Bobby Darin.
Versus Beyond the Sea.
What an amazing payoff.
Get calling.
Guess what we're gonna play now?
Uh, the same track, Oasis.
Yeah!
Oasis.
And that Frankful Noise, that track is called Live Forever.
They're very exciting.
Did you see the bit in Lost?
I'm sorry I'm lost obsessed this week, but the guy from Lord of the Rings who plays this bloke who's in an Oasis style band and they're called Driveshaft.
They couldn't have thought of something better than drive shaft.
That's good when I'm in them I play bass in a band.
They're called drive shaft Have you heard of them and what's their song called you or you everybody something or sir?
Ah you we everybody it's called sounds good.
We should get hold of it It's not that bad the song is not that bad, and it's quite a good oasis parody, but there you go That was the real thing now ditties in the dark.
Oh
It's the part of the show where you vote for which song we'll play out with.
We've got five callers on the line.
Everyone who gets through wins a pair of tickets to the XFM Kinky Boots screening.
The deciding vote wins tickets to the premiere.
So let us begin.
It's Bobby Darin with which song?
Beyond the Sea.
It's Beyond the Sea.
Beyond the Sea.
Versus The Young Guns with Countdown Rhythm.
It couldn't be more different.
Yeah.
These songs are poles apart, a classic old, soothing, crooning number, and the latest rough, raw, urban thing.
I think we've got a diverse listenership, Joe.
Who knows which way this could go.
Exactly.
This is going to be interesting.
Shall we go to the first caller, Pat?
Hello, Pat.
Are you there?
Hello there.
How you doing, Pat?
I'm guessing you're going to be voting for Bobby Darin.
I just think there's a mellowness in your voice.
You sound a bit like you could look like the man from the Flash adverts.
No, I'm going down with the kids.
I'm going for the countdown tune.
He's going for countdown rhythm by the young guns.
Yeah, you've got to go with the kids, man.
Well done, Pat.
Never judge people by the sound of their voice.
You do sound like the guy from Brushstrokes.
Is that the guy from me?
Is it the guy from Brushstrokes who's always doing the cleaning when his wife's out reading chat magazine in the deck chair?
I don't know about that.
That guy's in hell.
And he's got, like, he just, all he does is fantasize about driving in cars with beautiful rhythm.
Yeah, he's in hell, isn't he?
I can't help but my, yeah, anyway.
There you go.
You don't do- What product does he advertise?
It's some cleaning thing.
It's Mr. Muscle, isn't it?
Do you use Flash, Pat?
No, I don't use Flash.
Well done.
All right, so there's no comparison.
Well, thanks for voting.
It's 1-0 to Cornish, and you've got tickets for the Kinky Boots XFM's cleaning, Pat.
I've got a feeling this is gonna be a walkover for Cornish.
I don't know, man.
You know Lila's Trixie.
Justin, are you there?
Yes, hello there.
How are you, Justin?
I'm not too bad, thank you very much.
He's going to vote for Bobby Darin.
You sound quite, sort of, well-educated, well-bought-up.
Justin?
I'm going to sound posh.
You sound posh?
I have to, because I'm on a train.
Why do you have to sound posh on a train?
Because I got it from my mum, I think.
You can get thrown off, I think, if you're not posh.
No, his mum bought him the train tickets and said, don't forget to talk posh!
Exactly, yeah.
I'm going for countdown, by the way.
Hey, the countdown rhythm by the Young Guns.
Oh, you won't regret it.
It's a filthy song.
I've had to cut out and reverse most of the swearing.
So not much of it is actually left, but who knows?
I might not win.
Thanks for your call, Justin, and don't forget that if you drink alcohol on the train, what's that advert, you know, with the kids with, like, tins of booze in it?
I haven't seen it.
OK, doesn't matter.
Erm, be good and stop talking on your phone, please, Justin.
It's very, very annoying.
Thanks for calling and listening.
Simon's next.
Hello, Simon.
Hi, guys.
How you doing?
Good.
How are you?
Yeah, I'm good, good.
Are you, er, what are you up to, Simon?
Oh, just a bit of boring paperwork on a Saturday evening.
You do sound a little bit bored, I have to be honest with you.
I am so bored.
What are you going to vote for?
Is this going to be the end of the competition for me?
Are you going to go for the grime or for the Bobby Darin?
No, we've got to go with a bit of Bobby Darin.
Come on.
Oh, no.
Thank goodness, I was out of the picture there.
Now, let's speed things up.
I'm just a crazy countdown to you.
No, exactly.
I agree.
Yeah, you've got to have some respect.
They haven't desecrated it.
They've made it more exciting.
It's like an episode of Countdown where you might be mugged if you don't get the anagram right.
Simon, thanks very much for your call.
Good luck with the paperwork.
Alex, are you there?
Yes, hello.
How you doing, Alex?
I'm good, thank you.
I'm good, man.
You sound anxious.
You sound anxious, Alex.
There's something wrong.
Um, no, no, I'm good.
I'm just doing my homework.
Your words sound a bit like Jon Ronson.
He sounds like Naboo.
You sound like Naboo from The Boosh.
What's going on?
Are you a shaman?
The Boosh?
Yeah, do you not watch that?
The Mikey Boosh?
Yeah.
Oh, classic.
Yeah, well, you sound a bit like Naboo.
Oh, do I?
Yeah.
Have you been, uh, can we refer back to our Sky One drama about selling weed?
Yeah.
With you on the line, Alex?
Um, if you want.
Um, I don't think we should.
We're not gonna go there.
What are you voting for, Alex?
Um, Countdown.
Oh, Countdown Riddim!
Does that mean Cornish has taken it?
Yeah, Cornish has taken it.
Cornish has taken it.
Alex, thanks so much for your call.
Hey, thanks for calling Alex.
We've got one more caller on the line though.
Rachel, hello Rachel.
Hello.
So this is kind of a moot point because haven't I already won it?
Yeah, you've won.
So Rachel isn't the deciding call.
Alex is the deciding call.
Alex is the decider.
Rachel, thanks for phoning in.
Who are you going to go for out of interest?
Countdown, actually.
Oh, yay!
The Countdown Riddim.
It's a total landslide.
I don't know what you think you actually hear it.
So, you know what, Alex wins the tickets to the premiere of Peaky Boots.
Thanks for calling, Rachel.
Rachel, you win tickets to the XFM screening.
Thanks everybody for calling and listening.
Like I said, this track, Countdown Riddim, by The Young Guns, was very, very rude.

Thanks very much for listening.
Thanks for listening.
We'll see you at the same time next week.
