ADAM & JOE'S WORLD CUP COMMENTARYJuly 9

Cometh the game, cometh the commentators..., you wanted the best, you got the best - who needs Motty when Adam & Joe can talk us though the England vs. Germany game, played out during this year's Glastonbury Festival.

 

Here are both parts for you to download and keep. Would anyone fancy making an animation? The clips are quite long but it would be amazing to see your creativity on a section of the commentary?

ADAM & JOE ON 6 MUSIC FOR GLASTONBURY!June 16

 

Hello Blog Botherers,

 

Joe here. Long time no see! How are you doing? What have you been up to? Really?!?! Why the hell did you do that??? That's insane. Christ.

 

Adam and I just wanted to let you know that we'll have the privilege of presenting three shows as part of 6 Music's Glastonbury coverage this year. We're both really excited about being on air together again, and can't wait to serve you with top notch music and piping- hot, ill-prepared waffle. In fact, we're already hard at work ill- preparing the waffle mix. And although Adam did spill a lot of it on the carpet, he's managed to scrape most of it up, and we think it's probably still useable.

 

See you at Glastonbury!

SUGGESTIONS FOR SPACE TAPE AND QUESTIONS FOR ED O'BRIEN OF RADIOHEADJune 14

Put another blog on the fire for me. I'll make some breakfast and coffee.

I'm out of the shed! To be honest it was nice being in there for a few days. It gave me a chance to listen to some weird music and dream my dreamy dreams. But today is the beginning of a new week and preparations must begin for next Sunday's show, which as you will have gathered will feature the musical choices and vocal interaction of none other than the tallest member of one of the greatest bands of all time: Matt from Busted. No! It's Ed O'Brien, the Michael Palin of Radiohead. Apart from being a serious threat to Dave Grohl's title as 'the nicest man in rock', Ed is also Radiohead's guitarist, percussionist, vocal harmoniser and all round vibe technician. The band are currently in their Oxford studio working on material for the follow up to 2007's In Rainbows so I'm very grateful that Ed is finding time to be my guest between sessions. We're recording the show this Friday 18th so if you have any questions you'd like me to put to Ed, please get them in as soon as possible before then.

The theme for our tape is Space. All good title ideas welcome!
