Buffet #40 (with added Betty action)

We welcomed the gorgeous Bet Lynch Mob to the studio this week (well, two thirds of them). They are delightful young ladies, if somewhat cheeky. They not only danced about in the studio, but Betty Bird half-mooned us through the BCB studio glass partition. No photographic evidence I’m afraid, but here they are having a boogie in trademark gold hotpants:

Buffet #34 March 2012

Dear readers – if you tuned into Buffet you will have heard an interesting mix of sunshine and post-budget angst. We normally broadcast at tea time, but being moved to the breakfast slot (to make way for coverage of Bradford City Park) made Jenny come over all Wogan. She was even inclined to interpret the Fugazi song Target as an ode to chocolate, so I’ve posted the lyrics below to prove that it is not. Emma delighted us with her latest discovery – the fantastic Nadine Shah, and there is debate about the cowbell – is it the backbone of rock and roll?  (In my opinion, yes! – and I’ve highlighted tracks listed below that feature cowbell, only one of which was chosen deliberately for its presence).

Here’s what we played:

1. THE MIKE SAMMES SINGERS – another marvellous vintage advert
2. THE MONKEES – (Look Out) Here Comes Tomorrow
3. STEREOLAB – Cellulose Sunshine
4. NADINE SHAH – Aching Bones
5. THE EVENS – No Money
6. SHIRLEY BASSEY – Spinning Wheel*
7. MAGIK MARKERS – Body Rot
8. THE FATIMA MANSIONS – Look What I Stole For Us, Darling
9. HUGH MASEKELA – Grazing In The Grass*
10. AC/DC – Back In Black
11. GORILLAZ Ft. ANDRE 3000 & JAMES MURPHY – Do Ya Thing
12. THE VASELINES – Son Of A Gun
13. NEIL DIAMOND – America
14. FUGAZI – Target
15. METRONOMY – Everything Goes My Way*
16. SUPER FURRY ANIMALS – God! Show Me Magic
17. THE BEATLES – Tax Man*

*Features cowbell, and is better for it

As per usual, you can listen again via this link: http://www.podcast.canstream.co.uk/bcb/index.php?id=5908

Laters!

Target by Fugazi

It’s cold outside and my hands are dry
Skin is cracked and I realize
That I hate the sound of guitars
A thousand grudging young millionaires
Forcing silence sucking sound
Forced into this conversation

So I say shine let their planets collide
This is the darkening down of my mind
We could be making it oiling like crime
We could be making it staking last dimes
If you want to seize the sound
You don’t need a reservation

The torch is passed it’s yours to return
Lay at their feet now use it to burn
For marketing the use of the word generation
A false alliance of money persuading
Forcing silence sound sucking
Forced into this conversation
Now if you want to seize the sound
You don’t need a reservation
So open so young so target
I can smell your heart you’re a target

 

Fanny Power!

Well ladies and gents, if you listened in we hope you enjoyed the tuneage, which was brought to you by the power of fanny! Though it appears this super power has confused some people. Just what is fanny power? Well, simply put, it is an amusing (to us) way of celebrating music by female artists. Plus the first all-female rock band in the late 60s were called Fanny, which lends itself very nicely to lots of juvenile jokes.

This show also coincided with us curating the Record Club in Shipley along similar lines. Record Club is very much a celebration of vinyl using a different theme each month. We played three albums in full and a varied mix of other singles and album tracks from the 1960s to the present. It was quite interesting to have someone comment “I suppose it is possible to find three really good records by women.”  Very interesting…

Here’s what we played on our radio show!

  1. Banana Mellows advert
  2. BREEDERS – I Just Want to Get Along
  3. DEERHOOF – Super Duper Rescue Heads!
  4. SANTOGOLD – Say Aha
  5. ROB ST. JOHN – Phantom Limb
  6. LUSCIOUS JACKSON – Are You Ready
  7. GOLDFRAPP – Strict Machine
  8. FANNY – Rockin’ (All Night Long)
  9. P J HARVEY – Dress
  10. ZAMMUTO – F U C-3PO
  11. BLONDIE – Hanging On The Telephone
  12. DUCHESS SAYS – Subtraction Of Obedience
  13. PORITCO QUARTET – Window Seat
  14. SUPERHUMANOIDS – Geri
  15. SONIC YOUTH – Reena
  16. SISTER SLEDGE    – We Are Family
  17. Promotional song for George Moreno Film Productions
  18. Esso advert

And you can listen to it as a download for the next four weeks by following this link: http://www.podcast.canstream.co.uk/bcb/index.php?id=5502

Big thanks!
