Radio Buffet #13

Firstly, apologies for going on and on about my bras. Though I like to think we at Buffet offer an element of public service broadcasting, and of myself as a twisted Miriam Stoppard. Next month = tampons.

Secondly, here’s what we played on Radio Buffet on Sat 11th Sept (repeated on Monday 13th at 10am)…

Theme from Starsky & Hutch
Blondie – X-Offender
Casiotone for the Painfully Alone – Hot Boys
The Libertines – Campaign of Hate
Sufjan Stevens – From the Mouth of Gabriel
Anibal Velazquez – Mambo Loco
Duchess Says – La Friche
Death From Above 1979 – Sexy Results
Nadine Shah – All That I Want
David Soul – Ex Lover (rubbish!)
Thin Lizzy – The Boys Are Back In Town

Radio Buffet – feat. Dr Jenny Jet’s Rock Surgery! July 2010

You’d be forgiven for thinking you’d happened upon a twisted radio version of ‘Loose Women’ if you tuned into Radio Buffet this month. What with there being another female in the studio (International DJ Jenny Jet) and all the chit chat about Peter Andre’s underwear. Actually, we didn’t talk about Peter Andre’s smalls, why would we ever do that, we talked about ROCK! We’re nowt like that TV programme, but we wouldn’t say no if BCB wanted to provide us with special mugs, that would be nice. Anyroad, aside from talking about music and championing Mo Tucker as an example of someone who can’t really play but really rocks, we played some excellent music…

Theme from The Sweeney
Lady Sovereign – Public Warning
Stevie Wonder – Superstition
The Amps – Tipp City
Young Knives – She’s Attracted To
Velvet Underground – Venus In Furs
Barry White – I’m Gonna Love You Just A Little Bit More, Baby
Quack Quack – Jack of None
Beastie Boys – Intergalactic
Blonde Redhead – Here Sometimes
Roxy Music – Do the Strand
Dead Weather – Blue Blood Blues
Ella Fitzgerald – Mack the Knife

Hope you enjoyed it!

RADIO BUFFET#10

Do you know, we were so busy chatting away behind the scenes on our radio show that we forgot to name-check Those Dancing Days and Caribou, which is very rubbish of us. And Those Dancing Days deserve special mention as they lead the Wichita girl-pop revolution, a revolution that should be acknowledged. Germaine Greer made a point of saying there still aren’t many women in bands, when I went to see her in Halifax last week. I know what you’re saying, Germaine, I really do, but there are actually LOADS of fannytastic musicians out there – we have no trouble finding stuff to play on Radio Buffet. Anyroad, before I tell you what we did play on our radio show, let me share with you something Ms Greer did teach me that I never knew before. It’s a new term of endearment for ladyparts – Bearded Clams! Kept me amused for days that did…

Here’s what me, EmmaBob3 and Elias played – hope you enjoyed it:
