27: It's Ladies Night!!!

Let's kick things off by talking a little bit about women. According to Wikipedia 'Women are mammals, they lack a phallus but make up for this failing by retaining the sole right to activly replicate human life through the miracle of birth.' Women and their contribution to society have been largly ignored by the writers of history and television.' It is high time that Matt and myself redress the balance with this... Our Ladies Night special. First 50 wonder bra's get in free! ('Editors note: Oh dear god, what have we done?)
You can listen to this celebration of the female form (and function)...

TRACK LISTINGS


'Leeds United' by Amanda Palmer
Amanda Palmer is a hugely accomplished young woman, who writes and performs her own music both live on stage and within the recording studio environment. Her songs invoke the folk and cabaret tradition while bringing a freshness to the sound with a post-modern eye for contemporary detail, and the surprising depth of feeling that can be invoked by the seemingly superficial imagery of the sandwich, the football club and the mac store..I bet she smells pretty damn good too. (Editor's Note: Dann likes the word 'invoke'. Writing it causes him to perspire.)

'Pin' by Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs
Yeah yeah yeahs are lead by Karen O. Somewhat of an Icon in her own right, Karen was once offered the chance to pose for the cover of Playboy Magazine. I think they probably wanted her becuase they felt that her feminist credentials would give the glorified jazz-mag some much needed credibility as a genuine magazine. I have never been offered the chance to pose for Playgirl. Just for reccord, unlike Karen, I'm totally up for it. (Editor's Note: Playboy isn't really a glorified jazz- mag anymore. It's now an even more boring and middle aged version of GQ. But with tits.) ((Author's note... Isn't that what Glorified means?))


'Hide and Seek' by Imogen Heap
Imogen is a web phenomenon (Editor's Note: Dahhn dahhn, dannannun!) . I have heard in interviews that she previews works in progress on line and responds directly to her fans criticism. To be fair I wasn't really listening. I could be wrong about that. Either way I first heard this song as the background music to this sketch.

Imogen is quoted as saying  "One night I decided to record my boyfriend and me eating dinner. I wanted to get the sound of the room. So, on "Hide and Seek", for example, you can actually hear the sound of a frying pan. People might think it sounds like rain, but it's a frying pan. Certain sounds give the music a width and a space, and that's important."

 I have a few recordings I have made with my wife that I am attempting to sell to the pop industry. They might be most suitable for use in French music.

 'I am a Revenant' by the Distillers
A handy combo using the mighty Revenant:
Revenant + Whetstone
Whetstone (or any other card that forces discards)  alows you to discard cards many cards from your library into your graveyard... hopefully losing many creatures to it making your Revenant stronger and stronger. (it's even stronger with the Lhurgoyf  because you get the benefit of  all graveyards) My brother in law used this as the icing on the cake of his vastly annoying 'Deck distruction Deck' but it would do equally well in a kind of black and green, creature-heavy weenie-madness type deck. If  you have no idea what i'm talking about. good for you. (Editor's Note: At least we're not referencing Warcraft, ok?)

'Dance Anthem of the 80's' Regina Spektor
I remember the 80's and now, horrifically, it seems to be happening again. That doesn't stop me liking this track though. I think it's original, catchy and musically interesting. I particularly like the warbling. It reminds me of the year when everything went kind of  Turkish, and Ozzy  "Girl Next Door" Holly Valance was briefly a credible pop artist. Despite the fact that she seemed to think that photoshopped lens flair counted as clothing.


'I Love Turbulence' by Rolo Tomassi
Yes, but the real question is, do you love turbulence enough to give it your last Rolo?

 'Catch the Morning Line' Shannon Stephens
I am writing this whilst simultaneously producing a radio programme on another station and at this point I have become tired and more than a little confused. This might not have the gravitas of an epic Russian novel. It might not have the lightning spark of a carefully crafted haiku but let no one say that I have not tried. Consider these words a metaphor for the steaming breath of a Shire-horse cresting a hill on a frosty northern morning; consider them the splash of mud that my head makes as I fall face first in the Mud; consider this as me, towing the line.

(Editor's Note: i'm not sure what he's talking about here. Then again, neither is he. Also, The Shirehorses were brilliant.)

 'God Called in Sick Today' By AFI
In an unusual co-incidence I almost called in sick today. I haven't had two days off together for a really long time. Now when I actually get a day off I tend to used it to catch up on sleep. as a result it just registers in my mind as one long night. My brain ends up thinking that it hasn't really had a day off at all and as a result I seem to be getting more and more mental everyday. Less and less able to mentally censor my conversation. Had I lived in a village I'd probably be chatting to the village idiot right about now and ready to see him as some kind of misunderstood genius.

Goodnight Children.

25: Valley of the large breasted women and other cliches.

Matt and I run a tight ship. We don't suffer fools gladly. We call a spade a spade. We are no-nonsense, you get what you pay for, salt of the earth type broadcasters. We are diamonds in the rough, snakes on a plane, booty shaking, reggue dancehall loving cockney rebels and we don't give a damn and take no shit from nobody. In a time of heroes, trapped in a world gone mad, two men dared to dream a dream called freedom. If you liked Kindergarden Cop, Daddy Day Care and the Bourne Circumcision... You'll love this. It's like Mary Poppins does Dallas... On Acid!

TRACK LISTINGS

'Why Bother?' by Weezer

...

'Sucre' by The Stares

Sucre means sugar in french, but to anyone that watched Prison Break (Even if you only watched the first couple of series before realising that life was too short) it means so much more. It means a pluckly and lovable hobre with a great smile and a can-do attitude. An honorable thief that will sacrifice all for the cell mate he has grown to love like a brother.

'Bro Hymn' by Pennywise

From the cold and impersonal wilderness of postmodern life, from the isolated cellular seclusion of the cyber-sequestrated realms of human time and space, comes a love song to the crowd. A song that bows it's head in reverence, to those pillars of the french revolution, Fraternity, Equality and Liberty X.

'You Don't Know Me (Homie)' by Ben Folds Featuring Regina Spektor

Ben folds also produced Amanda Palmer's latest Album. It appears Ben likes to work with attractive ladies who play the Piano. Watch this space for an Alicia Keys collaboration. Also watch out for the awesome and musically onomatopoaeic 'disharmonies' that appear towards the end of the song. very clever.

'Milk Lizard' by The Dillinger Escape Plan

I'm just going to use the title of this track to do a load of links to blue Jam.  this one    this one    this one and this one. I really would advise that no-one watch them. To be honest it's all a bit too much for me to deal with. They make me feel like I've been reading the random tab on 4chan... I'm pretty sure that Chris Morris is some kind of high-functioning psycho. 

'Creep' By Amanda Palmer (Original by Radio Head)

Amanda Palmer not playing the piano, not playing her own material and still being awesome... Amanda is engaged to Neil Gaiman.  You know Neil right... that dude with all the brains talent and money in the world. Damn you Gaiman, why must you mock me?

'Come Quietly' By Strobe 45

Stef had ginger hair but he died it black. He rode a BMX and he rode it well, but he once lost a girl to a guy that could do back flips. He was crazy into Ayrton Senna and he drove a car that was half van and half car. He's still out there somewhere, being awesome. One day he might google his old band name and then this will pop up. Hello Stef!!

'Ice Cream Man' By Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers

I really feel like this song should just go on forever. I'd love to go and see the modern lovers and for them to play a two hour set that opened, and closed with Ice Cream Man. perhaps kicked off with the words... 'I hope you enjoy our new direction.'

Goodnight.
