23: From Glen to Glen and down the mountain side.

This show features and is dedicated to Glen Pickard from youtube's 'Vids mark2'
I am just beginning to write this up and I realise that we really did miss a trick having not properly noticed the lovely Glen's second name. If we had known at the time it would have been the subject of much merriment. Luckily the good lord has offered me a second chance, let us... 'Make it so!'

This week Matt and I picked songs that we thought had good videos and Glen just picked songs that he liked. You can watch the videos by clicking the links provide. Obviously, being a radio show, having this episode rely heavily on a visual medium is truly thinking outside the box. The box marked 'sensible ideas'.

Track Listings

'I feel Better' by Hot Chip
This is the greatest music video of all time. Without a shadow of a doubt. People talk a lot of trash about Sledgehammer,  Daft Punk's, Da Funk, and that one where kylie flies around inside a giant penis and all her clothes fall off, (oddly the video has nothing to do with Patrick Stuart). They are all wrong. This is the Sergey Bubka of pop music videos. It may never be defeated.

'Your Hand in Mine' by Explosions in the sky
This is the first selection by Glen Pickard, which gives me me the oportunity to mention our mutual love of HBO and all they produce, and also to plug the first episode of Glen's reincarnation of the old Chanel 4 Show Vids. Engage!

'Come On My Selector' by Square Pusher
When Matt picked this track I promised that I would behave like an adult for once and not just make jokes about the title. Sadly it was a promise I could not keep.

'Host and The Guest' by Bosc Monitor
Glen houseshares with one of the members of this iconic Bristol band. Which is pretty cool. Glen works with concrete. He writes erotic fan-fiction set in the Jurrasic Park Universe. He's obviously our kind of guy.

'This Too Shall Pass' by OK Go
Reuben Lucius Goldberg was a cartoonist, sculptor, author, engineer, and inventor. Goldberg is best known for a series of popular cartoons he created depicting complex devices that perform simple tasks in indirect, convoluted ways – now known as Rube Goldberg machines. He also made this youtube video, and this youtube video and this one too.

'Good Guy's don't Always Wear White'  by Bon Jovi
When we asked Glen if he wanted to be on the show he said, 'Yes but only if I can play Bon Jovi.' We told him to go to hell. Eventually a compromise was reached. What you can't hear is me screaming 'frisbee' throughout the entire track. Still he's not all bad, he made this... The third episode of his reincarnation of the old Chanel 4 show vids 

'Who Was in my Room Last Night' the Butthole Surfers
Whenever I hear about the Butthole Surfers it makes me think of this. The point is that it's  is a damn cool video and was Beavis and Butthead's all time favourite. Also Matts'. Have you ever noticed how much Beavis idolises Butthead.  I'm just saying, I reckon Beavis has the potential to be a good kid you know... with the right guidance.

'Big Empty' by Stone Temple Pilots
Stone Temple Pilots... Has to be a reference to this right. I mean it can't be anything else. The name often gets "abbreived" to STP which is a bit like us, and our ETP acronym so yeah... we're feeling the soft fuzzy warmth of a shared fraternity. This was Glens' last choice so we can easily segue into his latest reincarnation of the old chanel 4 show vids. You might like to also visit his facebook site. He could use a few more friends. He works with Concrete. Bug him about making a new episode. He say's he's working on it, but it could be a lie.

Goodnight!
