TMTY 30th September – tracklisting

Howdy. I’m Joel. This is my first blog post for BCB.
I think we can all agree that it’s going pretty well so far.
Every Wednesday at 5.30pm I have the pleasure of filling 30 minutes of good Bradford air with all manner of noise, discourse and hillarity.
From now on I’ll be updating this site with tracklistings, spoilers and musings.
Here’s what we did on the 30th September.

Decontextualised music as muzak, part 3
Bugman: ” I was in K-mart once and they were blasting the VU’s ‘Beginning To See The Light’. I asked a clerk, who said ‘any song with the words ‘blue’ or ‘light’, we play’. Then there was that Volvo ad with the Stereolab song about emerging from a shelter after a nuclear holocaust [did the Volvo survive?].”

Audio of Theoretical Girl, Adam’s Co-host

Like zebras TG needs elobrate camouflage for walking around Bradford.

TG had to interview herself.

The slot of co-host on The Show has been an interchangeable position for the last month. We have had everything from physiologists to arts organisations (all united with distaste for old Adam’s ego). What a diverse box of frogs the show has become.

In keeping with that theme I had a particularly special co-host this week in the form of Amy Turnnidge (I have admired her work for quite some time now), stage name Theoretical Girl, who graced the studio with her presence. We talked about the recent album, influences, her time in the studio and party rings. Below is a little sample to whet the appetite. The show will probably broadcast on the 26th of this month. But watch this space, as this may change due to requirements of next week’s co-host (fingers crossed Jeremy Dyson with a interview from Will Self).

Boo hoo

Well, due to some thieving swine at the Leeds Festival, Adam Wells no longer has an iPhone from which to upload Audio Boos and other multimedia.  This is absolutely rotten, as Adam had worked so hard setting up this blog in time for the festival, and has gone to the festival full of enthusiasm for getting top quality content.  All this has been done as  a keen volunteer, so it absolutely stinks that his weekend has been tainted like this.

Selection Box

Good morning, Patrick Thornton from the Selection Box programme checking in.

Well, how very exciting – another place to babble incoherently. As if an hour’s worth of airtime every week to waffle on in between records wasn’t enough to satisfy my personal vanity.

For those of you lucky enough not to have caught my show, I am a high profile and well-respected radio disc jockey with up to 3 listeners. Wow, imagine that.

There’s no enormously intellectual agenda to Selection Box, the intention is simply to enjoy music of all genres. I’d like to think that everyone listening would like at leat one record played during the show, and whilst not seeking to be willfully obscure I’d hope that lots of what we play will be new to you.

You can also contribute to the content – particularly by sending suggestions for our long record feature Thanking Your Kind Indulgence. Here are the rules:

1. The track must last 7 minutes or more.
2. It must be good.
3. That’s it.
