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

Eclectic Mainline 14th March 2012

I’m back! Thanks ever so much to Phil Cope and Patrick Thornton for filling in for me over the past few weeks.  I recommend you listen to their own shows, When Big Joan Sets Up and Selection Box respectively now they have given me back my Eclectic Mainline show.

While I was in Malaysia I recorded a local man playing the nose flute.  Once I’ve got that off minidisc I’ll be playing a bit of that in my show.  He also taught me to play the nose flute too, but I won’t attempt to play it on air.

Anyway, back to the present.  Here’s one of the tunes from tonight’s show:
THEESatisfaction – QueenS by subpop

If you wish to listen back to this episode of Eclectic Mainline, you should find it on this page.

Here is a full list of tunes I played in the show:

Ellen And The Escapades – “All The Crooked Scenes” (single) (
Ulrich Schnauss & Mark Peters – “The Messia Is Falling” (LP – “Underrated Silence”) (Bureau B)
Those Darlins – “Screws Get Loose” (single and LP – “Screws Get Loose, Screws Get Loose”) (Oh Wow Dang)

Eclectic Mainline 7 March 2012

Albert Freeman, yesterday.

And lo, did I feel the bearded hand of Uncle Travelling Albert on my shoulder, informing me that he was returning from his global jaunt and that my stint in the coveted Electic Mainline chair (a decorative castered sedan with attachable caviar tray) was in its last throes.

 

Sadly, due to a misunderstanding between himself and a helmeted law enforcement officer regarding a holed-out turnip, a pair of malfunctioning trousers, a series of primal yelps and the back seat of an omnibus, Phil Cope was unable to co-present with me once more and the show progressed as a Thornton-only concern. Contributions to his bail should be sent in the form of cash directly to me in a brown paper envelope and without out a word to the Inland Revenue.

Still, despite the dearth of Cope’s lovely Pontefract brogue there were plenty of terpsichorean treats to fill the programme. Here be the monikers what be done gone given to them as rudimentary identifiers, and meanwhile I’ll scuttle back off to my Midnight griefhole with a chair made out of razorwire. Thanks for having me.

Patrick Thornton presents Selection Box every Monday at Midnight.

Selection Box Shows 211, 212, 213 & 214

Imagine, if you will, the effect on your body and mind from having spent several weeks slaving away at the coal face of public service broadcasting having to work for a whole two hours every week.  Well, look upon my exhausted face and see such a reality, for having recorded my own show I have also been sitting in for Albert Freeman on Eclectic Mainline.  So yes, that’s not one hour per week but two – you’d barely think that such a feat of human endurance was possible but I am living proof that with proper application and a back-up stock of biscuits a man can push his corporeal essence to the very limits.  It knocks that John Bishop bloke’s efforts into a tilted titfer, I think you’d agree.

Anyroad around, this week’s featured record comes from My New Favourite Band for this week Those Darlins who are a four-piece from Tennessee who have the knack not only of making smashing three minute guitar pop records but also looking ruddy great.  Here’s the second track from their new album Screws Get Loose entitled Your Bro which has lyrics to die for.  Not literally, obviously.  No one should ever die for a lyric.  Unless it’s as punishment for Des’Ree. I’d rather have a piece of toast.
