In the car on the way to the studio I said to Matt that I had not realised the metaphorical significance of the Banana in the Tail Pipe joke in the Beverly Hils Cop film. (much loved but now forgotten classic of the 1980s childhood) and he admitted to me that it was indeed a revelation to him. So we started the show with it.

We do actually have another theme... or at least I do, but more about that in the...

'Dann's Old Friend Dave is a Tool/ Don't let her pull you down' by A New Found Glory
I have a few friends call Dave. None of them are "tools". I especially like Big Dave who got drunk at my wedding, threw up a lot and then passed out in the long grass. Also Dave the Librarian who writes stories about Joan of Arc and takes girls to Gay Bars when they are feeling down. Finally there is Dave the Doctor, he was kind of a tool when we were teens I guess but he has a beard now which has to count for something.
'Brand New Colony' The Postal Service
I think we have played this before so I am just going to seek out what wrote last time and insert it here as a quote. I sure it will be pure gold... I'm wrong we haven't. This is embarrassing. Um... does anyone want any more potato chips? Hey err... why don't we play twister?
'She Found You' by Sam I Am.
When I went to school I had a friend called Sam. We were good buddies for years. Towards the end of my time at that school I started getting bullied pretty bad and Sam never stood up for me. Infact he kind of ditched me and joined in with the bullies. This ones for you traitor, I will never forgive you.
'Dime' by Cake
Cake. Possible the best and most underrated band in history. There they are pumping classic tracks in to obscurity while you the public are dishing out your hard earned credit to fill the local landfill with a billion plastic renditions of 'hit me baby one more time' be ashamed of yourselves you sick ass horny bastards.
'Alive with the Glory of Love' Say Anything
During the build up to this song I had no idea how good this was going to be. I think it may now be my current favourite song. After the one about the monkey riding the pig of course... and the theme tune to Happy Days... Still it's up there though, definitely top ten.
"Blue Picasso" Peter, Bjorn and John
Matt's thoughts on this track, take the form of a jingle advertising the community radio station that is fool enough to broadcast us every Friday Night at 8pm. 93.2
'Babylon' by Skindred
I don't know about you, but I've been babbling on all night...
'Hat and Feet' by Fountains of Wayne
I am at work right now. I've been here since 8am. I'm not going to leave the building till midnight. I know exactly how this dude feels.
Goodnight.

6: Frankie said Relax. We listened.
To listened to our most 'Relaxed' Show yet... Click HERE
I heard a rumour once that the ear bones are the clitoris of the mind. If this is the case then let us play you something... Stimulating. Let us get that hammer, anvil and stirrup vibrating out a rhythmic pulse of pure orgasmic energy... Straight to the Brain!

'Deep Blue Sea' by Grizzly Bear
What could be more erotic than a grizzly bear. Standing proud at 47feet in height, the modern Grizzly can smell a female in heat from 1000 miles away. That's not what this song is about. This song is about various family members drowning in the sea. despite this macabre subject matter it seems quite a happy little song.
'Drop Out' by Rocket From the Crypt
Pretty much everyone at my old school (not the one in the link) got well into Rocket From the Crypt except me. I think that this is probably because they all went off and watched a Rocket concert without me. Perhaps even to this day I am blinded by my own misguided jealousy, Perhaps songs about hanging onto ropes just don't do it for me. Who knows. The lead singer of Rocket from the Crypt is called 'Speedo' He doesn't support Man City.
'Jesus Land' by Ben Folds
This song reminds me primarily of wandering through a suburb of Melbourne when I went to visit my sister in Australia. It was much too hot for anyone to actually go outside, people drove from air-conditioned place to air-conditioned place in air-conditioned cars. There was a huge church and no people anywhere. All the houses looked the same and every third or fourth bush had a massive spider in it, like dinner plate size.
'Channel Zero' By Public Enemy
While I was well into my hip hop throughout the 90's and early 00's I never got into Public Enemy at all. I found their politics to be naive and predictable, not at all like the nuanced message of personal empowerment I would get from Ice T, KRS1 and Jru. In the end I kind of grew out of my hip hop phase, mostly I think because I wanted to spend time with girls and the older I got the more trouble I had excusing the rampant misogamy.
'Woozy with Cider' by James Yorkston
James’ solo career began when John Peel played a demo of his ‘Moving Up Country, Roaring The Gospel’, proclaiming it had “The Song title of the year, no doubt”. as both Matt and I worship John's ever-living ghost as the greatest radio DJ of all time, we felt it only right to continue his good work and give James some more exposure. This time not on Radio One, but on BCFM. A radio station staffed by volunteers, and loved by the seven or eight people able to tune in to it's faltering candlelight signal... I hope James appreciates what we have done for him.
James does another song called 'Tortoise Regrets Hare' Every time I hear it I can't help but imagining the little guy in a toupee, at a school reunion or something, feeling pretty awkward.
RIP Peel.
All Down Hill From Here by A New Found Glory
This band's lead singer sounds like he's a tiny little guy trapped in the nose of a much larger man. From that perspective everything would appear to be downhill. I get the feeling that this song is about the end of a relationship. Which is kind of fair, who wants to go out with a guy who's covered in Mucus. New found Glory are from Florida and their picture on Wikipedia is of the lead singer holding his crotch. There's also a topless fat bloke in the background and a guy who looks like he is setting up a drum kit for the next band on. Not a good look
'Symphony in C' by Cake
Cake! please mark that as 'useful'
'Last Will And Testament' by Propagandhi
Ironically this is the Last track we Will play and um... it reminds me of a 'Test I meant' to take, but never turned up for. Sadly due to missing that vital exam I will never be a Gynaecologist.
Propagandhi are Canadian. What? There's nothing wrong with that. Did you not see the opening ceremony to the Olympics? You didn't? You wouldn't be talking that Jive about the big C if you did. It was Awesome. They Rocked that Sh=T Like a huracain
By my calculations, based on a 40 hour working week, Matt Setback will do pretty much anything for £48.01 per hour. If he's willing to work everyhour of every day it's more like £11.40. He, like myself, works on this show for free.
