Joe's pace of promotional commitments is finally slowing down (although that included a trip to Locarno, he's in Berlin with Nick Frost today and there's strong rumour of Sitges Film Festival) but Adam's public performances continue at an orderly pace.
Recapping the latest events in Adam Buxton's gig-list:
25th to 29th August 2011 BUG Special 10:30pm at The Pleasance in Edinburgh -Tickets here (if they're not sold out).

You can also check The Wonderwall and Adam does have a sort of calendar at his website.
Silent Library has pretty much come and gone since my last blog post but it was well enough received to be talking positively about a second series. For his sake and ours, I hope they retain Adam for the commentary and perhaps Five will drag it onto their terrestrial channel...if that's not too old fashioned a suggestion.
BUG Music Videos put their breakdown of BUG26 on-line with unaccustomed and eye-watering speed this time.
Apart from the vast swathes of media about Joe Cornish and his film Attack the Block, the following delights have also popped up..........
Lamenting the loss of the Adam and Joe Show, Roger Miller and friend(s?) made some beautiful warbly sounds.
Drew Worthley also made this melancholic folk style Text the Nation jingle. I still reckon, despite Adam's protestations, that this jingle is the most homaged and reworked of the lot.
The Daily Telegraph insisted that Adam shared imaginings of how his stint in Edinburgh might pan out and there's a review of Adam's visit to Bristol last month. His Latitude appearance gets a nice mention here. Someone snapped him singing his Birthday Song to a Woman or two.
For an 'individual' style in podcast presentation from two Americans looking at British tv comedy, click here. Show 94 includes their Adam and Joe segment.
The BBC interviewed A Salt with a Deadly Chris-p the other day and if the meandering track of memory lane is in your mind, look at what Craig, Megamix Genius & other friend-of-the-show has made from Song Wars Vol. 2!
HeyUGuys covered the Tintin panel at Comic Con last month
Scroll down to 15th July 2011 Radio Academy entry and listen to James Stirling talking about how he deals with podcasting when it comes to Adam and Joe.
Getty Pictures had some of the few shots of Joe at the BAFTA Brits To Watch event last month and here's one from Zimbio.
There's a silly bit of romantic nonsense here.
Last season's resident artiste, James Hood chats about his craft here.
A tiny snatch of The Footie Song was heard on the BBC's new Saturday evening show.
Would you just take a look at Adam with this lovely bunch of friends?
The awesome Chris Milk is humbly hosting this divine piece of work from Tron Thighs (with Adam's help) on his own YT Channel.
Adam has also exploited his superior fathering technique which he's generously shared with Me Books and tiny children everywhere.

Lots of tweeters are hearing Adam's voice on this Wrigley's ad but I'm still not entirely sure it's him.
I am certain this is Adam, however.
I've covered far too much Attack the Block media in my Block Blog but it might amuse some readers here to note how much nonsense can pitch up on the interwebs if they are left to their own devices. Here's a nutty translation of this original piece for Hollywood Chicago.
Right in the middle of the phone-hacking scandal, this seminal debate rocked the nation to it's core.
Just when you thought you'd heard everything Joe has to say about his film, he licks his finger, swipes it along the bottom of his nugget box and comes up with a handful of sticky crumbs, none more gratifyingly represented than in Jeff Goldsmith's lovely podded interview.
I won't sicken everyone by compiling all the luvverly plaudits about Attack the Block from industry gods but the beautiful Duncan Jones spread his excitement out over four cheeky tweets which has to be noteworthy, doesn't it?
Joe's most recent public appearances in the UK were for the Film4 Summer Screen and Empire Big Screen. By way of a swan song, I meant to do a potted review of these events but the loss of this earlier blogpost has probably made that a less attractive proposition. There are various snippets and pictures around and about. Charlie Lyne gratifyingly snapped this wonderful evocation of the moment when the music builds to punch the title logo into our eyeballs.
As Adam and Joe's wonderful, giggly producer Jude, from both XFM and 6Music days, patiently awaits the birth of her baby**, I thought it would be nice to look at this again.
Joe remains rather quiet in this one as Edgar regales us with precious little news about Ant-man.
Nik Monroe has a lovely recap of the Ritzy's special event for Attack the Block back in May.
BaaadDad himself contributed to Open Country last month and you can listen again here.
Finally, I was recently reminded there's a sweet snippet from Adam in this Pixies documentary.
** updated to add that Jude had her baby girl while I was writing this.
