The Mud Is Settling On Worthy Farm

We were most certainly spoiled over this past weekend.

(picture credit to Matthew Edwards there, featuring Lucy, James, Adam, Joe and possibly Tom plus BlackSquadron dedicated Glasto Division)

Those of us confined to our dry and refrigerator-handy homes began three days with utter nonsense, nonsense, nonsense from our Commanders and those poor souls who chose to endure sleepless days and nights from noisy neighbours were rewarded beyond their wildest dreams with what I'm going to puff up by referring to as TWO personal appearances from the webcam-shy radio botherers.

These being the last few shows for the predictable future, they went out with a sonic bang, if you will.

Invited to join the start of the Saturday show, the response from onsite Black Squadron members warmed Joe's cockles so much his jeans began to give way and even the most stubbornly prickly whisker on Adam's magnificent beard was softened to a downy wisp.

Don't take my word for it. Catch up on all the waffle over at the BBC site.

Glastonbury is surely one of the prime reasons it was imperative to save 6Music. The coverage could not have been sustained by any of their other so-called 'stations' to the level of excellence we were privileged to enjoy. We had tireless work from James, Lucy and Tom plus missive wrangling and fielding from Peta on the web feed. Thank you BBC. Thank you 6Music.

That said, the website is not as handy to navigate as the regular show based thingumies so if you want to Listen Again (and you really should) the links are:

There are still podcasts to catch-up on and revisit. The BBC have some special dispensation to leave a ton of them there going back as far as last Christmas.

Many happy souls excitedly tweeted pictures from their encounters with our generous leaders and whilst I enjoyed them all, I have selected these two to share as they produced the most enduring rictus. There are many more in the Adam and Joe section of the BBC Glasto web portion.



From Luke Vernon.......a magnificent mellay of beards and hats.

From @Pintendo64, a beloved member of TwitSquadron who gets a killer look from Dr Sexy at what was, no doubt, a salacious comment from her.






To my great joy and surprise, they whispered a little word of thanks in my lug area via the final podcast.

Some of my web-based operation would not necessarily comply with BBC Guidelines and for that reason I have assumed they'd not mention me within the castle walls. Perhaps they felt that this little field trip afforded them a cheeky opportunity for which I am deeply touched.

Adam overcame fears of tearfulness to use his heartwarmingly and sincerely genuine voice. Joe played it safe, using the stoic tones he reserves to hide what is clearly a deep rooted passion.

Thank you Adam and Joe .......Thadam & Thoe.

I warned you I wouldn't blog if I was busy

I did throw a post-Glastonbury entry together but it was so dull and anal that I sucked it back in before it had dropped down into the dirt.

If I'm going to attempt anything efficient, this post will be a dull list of links and notes I've gathered in the last six weeks. It won't make pretty reading but it will tick a few of my filing boxes and I only do this for my own pleasure, you understand.

I made a temporary Glasto frock for this blog and my Twitter page, such was the excitement I'd managed to build up for the weekend. Painful on they eyes, wasn't it?


I probably need to co-ordinate my current look with the new style of the 6Music website sometime soon. Heaven forfend I ever come up with something original.

There were far fewer pictures posted by the Glasto team this year and they were dotted all over the shop but here are a few links:

The first sniff we had was on the Thursday as Adam arrived, proudly standing with one of his bikes and gorgeous James-The-Producer (aka James Coffee Starling).

Inside6Music had a TwitPic and then a similar shot from their Facebook here and here with one from the fun-wagon here.

I could dribble on about the Glastonbury shows but my inability to distill thoughts into one salient paragraph will render any waffle completely redundant by the time it has bored you senseless.

The football commentaries still double me up but there were sweeter moments too.
Adam sent a visual greeting to his brother, Uncle Dave via the webcam, Joe fashioned a little clay model of Adam that looked more like Castro than Buckles but it was made with love. There were ludicrous band facts and a probing question about how to properly sign off from your weekly call to Mummy.**

We did love the Ebony and Ivory jingles though, including the freestyling they did for the final podcast. Lovely Shaun Keaveny was so impressed that he played it on his weekend show. You do realise he did no less than 12 days in a row without stopping just so that all the other lucky buggers could have a jolly?

Extraordinary as it may seem, you can still read all the live blogging that went on throughout the three days of Glastonbury. Remember, Adam and Joe were on air between 8 and 10 each night and I think I'm not overstating the facts when I say the live feed was probably at it's giddiest during those hours.

All too soon, the weekend of love finished off with this.

Ever supportive, The Guardian took as many chances as they could to slide Adam and Joe onto their pages including one peculiar choice about which I am too shy to comment.

In other waffle, 6Music fans clubbed together to make their feelings felt during the last few days of the consultation review.

This is Roo. She's one of the youngest and fluffiest members of TwitSquadron. She belongs to @LucyAnnabel.

Ben spent the best £ 3 of his life as witnessed here.

You can find the source of the first few strains from the Adam and Joe Show opening titles in a Youtube link here.

Goodness gracious, we Saved 6Music! I wouldn't want to self-agrandise here in any way but I achieved this sea change all on my own. No, I didn't.



Adam has stayed very busy. What with the school run, taking his turn at the supper and dishes, rearranging the sticks and twigs in his shed in order of when he found them (previously they were in height order) AND he's done about six BUGs since I last blagged.

There were two in Norwich, the usuals at the BFI, all happily attended by TwitSquadron stalwarts and one in Jersey, then he DJ'd before the films one night at Film4's Somerset House Summer Screen. He's also got dates in his September diary for gigs at The Tabernacle, Greenwich Comedy Festival and BUG 21.
Sadly, we also heard via the AdamAndJoe.com Forum and Jo Neary that the pilot of "Same Time Next Week" in which Adam starred, is unlikely to get an airing.

Then there was Latitude. You know when you get that feeling that this time you should get off your arse and make something happen? I deployed all my last minute string pulling skills and slipped into this year's festival. It surpassed my expectations, I'm happy to say.

I'm still waiting for SeanBoy to make a Buxton-based entry to his blog. The Roundhouse were there though. They have included a lovely interview with Adam at the end of their latest podcastt. If anyone can get the subscription link to work on this, let me know the trick of it. I shall probably post Adam's part of the piece on my noisy blog tomorrow.

Apart from performing a special BUG in the Film and Music tent, he also showed up in the Literary Tent to assist Robin Ince and Jo Neary with backing vocals for Robyn Hitchcock!

He was spotted around the site enjoying Spoon, Jon Ronson, Belle and Sebastian and Vampire Weekend. I must say, unless I see him myself, I don't always take sitings as gospel because he does have some lookie-likies out there. BUG was magnificent. He did a live version of the Festival Song and just seemed very relaxed and at home with his family in tow.

Just in case you missed the link in my last post, there's a beautiful exchange with Cornballs at The Incredible Suit.

Attack the Block had a few little mentions in the press a couple of weeks ago. They were mostly along the lines of this one and reports about the awful demise of the UK Film Council probably included it a few times too. It's not for me to comment but they had investment in Joe's film from the start as I understand it. Personally, I think the general vibe about it has given it more sturdy legs than it had back then and in the very unlikely event that any of their funding might be withheld, I am sure it will be easy enough to find another willing contributor. I think Joe is too far down the line with this for it to have hurt him. It'll hurt all the film-going public though. I'm sure of that. Makes the contents of this report seem a little redundant, doesn't it?

Jodie Whittaker, the film's leading lady did a lovely little charity thingummy-bob. The tomatometer has a holding page now which gave me a little flutter when it popped up. STILL no release date that my cursory attempts could find. Big Talk continue to worry the corners of their website but there's nothing new for us there.

I'm going to try to type this calmly and quietly. Edgar and Joe are going to be on stage together at the BFI later this month. Book Here. You'll want to make sure you have some absorbent fabric with you if you are anywhere near me.

It must seem like weeks (because it probably is) since Joe has seen his little buddy, Edgar Wright. He's been pimping his epic all over the Stateside shop like a caffeine-propelled demon. Take a squint at Empire's cover, though.

One of the first opportunities to see Scott Pilgrim vs The World in the UK will be at Ultra Culture Cinema, later this month. This young powerhouse of a film blogger is a long-standing Adam and Joe appreciator. Check out the Nikki Boxx & Linsday Munk action linked in this passionate wander around Putney. Charlie would have been in short trousers when this was shot but he still managed to proudly snag one of these at some point.

This AT-AT based enjoyment has been doing the rounds but I finally caught up with it on Twitch so I'm linking it via them. It made me smile.

Finally, if you want to burn your retinas in a nice way, take a squint at this poster for Gaspar Noe's "Enter the Void".

** I have linked three BBC Webcam films in that paragraph. If you are geographically unable to see them, you can poke around my other portal for more internationally accessible versions.

Just While I remember these bits....

Joe looks like he dyed his hair for this ident from the olden times. Even as long ago as this, Adam looks sweet and Joe does his aloof thing.



Fellow blogger, though please don't imagine I consider myself approaching the same class as him, The Incredible Suit is one year old today - or his blog is. He took time away from the celebratory champagne drenched brunch to bring us a wonderfully insightful exchange he had with Joe Cornish recently.

My blog was a year old a few days ago but it went unnoticed except for a few people who couldn't quite believe how long they'd bothered to endure it.

Apropos of nothing at all, this website did a piece about Attack The Block with two almost identical pieces of artwork. Can't be arsed to pump this through Babel-fish. If there are any great revelations, I'll put it down to spoiler avoidance.

Will Clarke is leaving Optimum next year so he won't be quite as well placed to bask in the glory of the drug addled months celebrating Joe's film's successful win in the race to become the first feature projected on the Moon in a continuous loop to better serve the desperate needs of the international film-going public. IF they ever sort out the crater compensating software, that is.

You can get a wonderful selection of short films on this DVD including "Little Face" starring Adam Buxton.

Bexley Times reports on the Greenwich Comedy Festival.

A couple of days after that, Adam will be back at The Tabernacle in Notting Hill and I presume BUG 21 will be around that time too.

Adam's final Big Mixtape with Ed O'Brien changed tides in the oceans of Planet Twitter and bless him, he made it into the Rolling Stone.

It was a glorious show to finish on and can be heard for a few days longer here. After that you'll find it around and about the area. Grab the podcast while you can.

-biddle-biddle-biddle-biddle-biddle-biddle-biddle-biddle-biddle-

Edgar Wright has been phaffing around with his latest film for ages but he seems to be getting a bit more organised now.

The Wire has a piece with Edgar and Michael Cera, IFC about the LAFF, Pitchfork dish the soundtrack and the avatar creator has been added to the official website (be warned, it's noisy).

UltraCulture did a bit of pimping for the adorable Ritzy's special August Wright Double Bill.

In other friends-of-the-scamps news......did you know you can still get First Earth Battalion t-shirts? More importantly, a wonderful bit of kudos should go out to the beautiful soul of Jon Ronson who joined forces with Guy Lovelady to raise funds preventing Frank Sidebottom from making do with a pauper's funeral.

In case you didn't trip up on my other little blog, you can hear some more from Graham Linehan when he talked to Lauren this week. Don't forget that as soon as you turn your ear away from the Adam And Joe Sunset Show on 6Music tomorrow, you must flip to Channel 4 on the television tube to see episode one of the new IT Crowd series......if you haven't watched it on-line already.

Danny Robbins made a guide to Indie Glasto and an events guide via Lauren Laverne's Blog & Show.

My earlier concerns have lifted with this message!



Shaun W Keaveny has made a little film about the Earworm Project. He's also got a brand new podcast.

Once again, thanks to all the people posting stuff on Twitter for me to steal and unreel.

This blog will revert to it's more simplistic view when Glastonbury is over. It's a bit messy, isn't it?

Now, where were we? Pre-Glastonomy prep.

We were left dangling last Boxing Day.

That was the glorious pre-recorded Christmas show with no room or facility for listener input. However, the final live broadcast with real interaction on 19th December also left several unanswered questions. These are too many to bother the BBC Blog with so I'm going to noodle through them here for my own peace of mind.

In the unlikely event that either Adam or Joe (well, if it's anyone it'll be Joe) is at a loss to know what to discuss at sunset on three consecutive evenings and the even more improbable situation wherein either of the idiotholes find themselves ego-surfing their way into my portal, perhaps these depths could be usefully plundered. Of course they won't be, as most of the hanging chads were Christmas themed and everything is empty headed nonsense.

This post in not going to make a great deal of sense if you can't immediately recall the details of the shows so you can listen to the last live show by right-clicking here.

I'm expecting the show on 25th June to start with the cosmic opposite of Adam's last heartbreaking, fractured-voiced sign-off in the form of an over-excited, delirious shriek of a greeting but given the lateness of the hour, there may be an air of hop-based calm to the intro.

I wonder, do the paper towels in the little man's room at Western House still smell of chunder? Are the ones in the Glastonbury loos better or worse?

At the opposite end of the temperature and clock scale, does Joe need to slap his face to keep himself awake in the heat of a glorious Summer Sunset evening?

Some lady-based Black Squadron members scantily clad themselves in tinsel for their Christmas command photo. The ranks have been in serious disarray for exactly six months and I can't help wondering if in some sub-conscious effort to please our commanders, there might be some random, involuntary submission of similar shots. Of course, to avoid the bad-luck fairy, no tinsel will be administered.

I wonder if they have a rough idea of how many things they got wrong in the last six months without us being able to mail & text in to put them right. We've been able to humiliate Adam at a fairly low level but it's been very difficult to identify Joe's failings in a satisfactory manner.

How far into the show, or indeed weekend, will we get before there's a little bit of a grump exchange? I'm thinking of when Joe read a TTN about boob casts which Adam wanted to elaborate on but Joe jealously guarded from him. I hope and suspect that the enforced separation has been so long that they will not realise how much they can annoy each other until Sunday when it dawns on them they would rather have got the afternoon train home instead of being stuck in a tiny Portacabin while the main act warbles away just close enough to tantalise and hear but not be able to see or atmos-drench.

Did Joe find time to enjoy the terribly lacy delights of any lingerie departments during his heavy work schedule?

Will there be any sticky residue from the AdamAndJoe.6music@bbc.co.uk before it was suspended? Will it be reinstated for Glasto weekend or should we use Adam's addy?

We can only hope that there will be some arithmetic humiliation for Joe and vocabulary-based chastisement for Adam.

I wonder whether any anonymous cowards will comment and advise on Joe's haircut. Will B12 injections have remedied the hole in Adam's beard?

Will there be a discussion about Lidley Lott's latest feature film? I'm silly enough to have been fretting about Joe finding the time to keep on top of the spring releases in all their theatrical glory. On the other hand, it will be fun to hear Adam discuss his thoughts on Street Dance 3D.

Might there be some more wonderful made-up jokes? I sent one in months ago. It was absolutely brilliant. I pictured the entire production team rolling around in fits of giggles for several seconds. It was not memorable.

Will Joe be able to shoe-horn "now, you like Star Trek" into one of the shows? Will he say "that was good though, that was good" when he clearly didn't think it was. In short, what manner of Exocet-style missile will the Commander chose to deploy at this happy time.

I wonder if Joe had a chance to pop into his perpetual panto production at some point. Will Adam's Mum have got her head around any unusual versions of The Orange Juice tracks?

During the Boxing Day show (which you can listen to on a right click here), Joe suggested Adam gave his children paper clips as gifts but Adam felt they wouldn't be impressed with that. I wonder if he even tried.

Can we assume that James Coffee Starling was able to rehabilitate the fairies he used to light the studio so festively? Their screams are "bewitching though also disturbing but hey that's Christmas" " and some fairies have got to suffer".

Let's hope that Joe has perfected his champagne pouring technique and that they've not had to sample any drinks with poo-notes this year.

Did Adam or Joe feel the need to punish anyone for presenting fake gift-wrapped objects?

I wonder if Joe has been cycling for long enough now to get over the terror of peds and Koreans doing irresponsible business on the roads. Do the police still hide in wait for him at Kennington Cross and if I wore a summer uniform could I stop him and take down his details? I do hope he has stopped cycling on the pavement. It's an appalling habit. If you're scared of the traffic, you're already a dangerous cyclist, mate!

I hope that Adam realised the bike on a parking post advice was absolutely solid. They go around in white vans & shimmy them up the poles. Sometimes there is little alternative but on no account should a post that has lost it's sign be entertained because there is absolutely NO obstruction to relieving the post of it's precious burden.

Did Joe get a stocking on Christmas Day? How much of the festive season was spent in the nude? Does Joe really admire Satan? He was almost too quick to deny his worshiping habits.

Did Adam see any women with cans of lager in his stocking?

Will Joe finish all three Sunset shows without eating during the links?

Did Adam investigate the commercial value of the skills he has in putting coloured gems around mirrors?

Has anyone found a mangled piece of lemon flavoured Hollywood chewing gum between the foil and the cork of a bottle of Beaujolais?

Did listeners attempt to contribute some sabotage nonsense to the show or indeed chat amongst themselves about it.

I can reveal that in more ludicrous times, I've had lovely fire and sheep-skinned based evenings so it doesn't just happen in the movies and I took all the necessary precautions to ensure that my eggs didn't get scrambled. Similarly, I do sometimes use the fridge light to do short tasks in the kitchen during the dark hours rather than fumble with the light switch.

Was James hospitalised after Joe's drunken corking?

How long did it take Joe to release himself from the hardened organic spaghetti long-johns? Did some pasta residue get stuck in the complex biology of his upper torso and will this compromise his chances of being cast for a mature cameo role in the next Twilight film? Does he have gym ones by now?

Were there any pig-in-a-blanket incidents when Adam was giving his Netherlands a festive wrap?

Still finding Mr Sakamoto's track a bit tear jerking. Twas ever thus for me but now it has the added emotional tagging of The Last Show of 2009.

The giving of the gifts left further unanswered questions.

How may listeners emailed "Frustration" when they were talking about the incarcerated dice? It would have been futile during the pre-recorded show but we've all felt moved to do irrational things to jump start their memory banks over the years.

Film bloggers everywhere want to know if Joe pressed his "That Was Easy" button after each take on Attack the Block.

I'm guessing Adam's Orrper comic is still lying around the special chemical toilet he keeps in his shed but I'd like to know for sure.

Did Joe read any of the Ant and Dec book Adam gave him and is it now propping up the leg of a table on his uneven patio?

So sweet that Adam's first reaction to Joe's preamble about him probably already owning this next gift was "is it a baby son?" * and even so, he kept making irony-based guesses for the ultimately wonderful gift of David Byrne's New York cycling book.

How many times did Joe play the Bob Dylan Christmas CD and was he a little bit annoyed to discover he would have to upgrade to a further enhanced release with a some additional tracks that Adam had unearthed over the last couple of months? It's "You Are the Quarry" all over again only not even as rewarding.

Will Adam tell us on which wall he put the Kings of Leon poster? Was it in his shed or did he donate it to one of his baby sons? Did he have to get a woman to iron it for him first? How many times did he watch "Nuts" and did it have a lovely, aggressive piracy warning on it?

Did Adam ever give Joe the fairy sticker book?

All these thoughts have been festering in my brain for half a year and they may well remain that way. So long as the show has some recognisable shape to it, we'll be happy.

Adam will have sauntered down tin-pan alley with his catchy noise-gathering sticks to delight us with some jingle-jongles although the usual Glastonbury ones are enough to sate all my desires if he runs out of time.

A Song Wars session would be too much to hope for unless Joe has been craving the opportunity to show off and trounce someone in the public arena while his little film is still locked in the secret chamber. They could submit them to us on Friday and give us the results on Sunday. If they are short staffed, I am available for vote counting duties back at the London base-camp. A kiss on both cheeks from Shaun Keaveny would be payment enough.

I suppose there is a possible scenario wherein some travellers may have rescued Boggins from the orphan boy & turned up at Glastonbury with him but I'm over that stinky dog. Is there any news about Andrew Lloyd-Webber's musical of the same name?

I think it has been confirmed already that the Goblin King will be joining Jools' sharrabang to the BBC enclosure and no doubt they will pop into to visit Adam and Joe during the festival.

Will Joe risk a dubious glance from Peter Jackson by delighting us with his cod New Zealand accent? Perhaps he will if he's had some cider.

I'm sure next weekend will be over before we know it but I'm going to savour every moment. I hope they know how happy they've made so many people, even fictitious ones like me.

*The Freudian irony of that has never escaped me.

Glastonbury Weekend is an Adam and Joe Festival(in my house)

JoeRaeMon returned to the blog this week for the best of all reasons.

In the unlikely event that you've stumbled upon this stupid blog before finding the proper BBC one, you may not know that having disappeared on more important business with aliens and mixtapes, just when it suits them, the jammy buggers have blagged free and privalidged entry to their favourite music festival and they're no doubt being given spending money.

Of course, the up side of this is that those of us who are unable to attend the festival can be smug about it being 'far nicer to enjoy from home' which clearly is not the case unless you have mud allergies. We'll be able to listen to much missed nonsense as it happens instead of having to see some amazing band or two perform live before our very eyes.

You'll see from the link that the BBC used what few coppers they have at their disposal to revamp the site and generally reorganise access. If you lament the passing of the old header, it still lingers on some older blog-posts.

The first new show will kick off at 8pm on 25th June but the comprehensive BBC coverage begins hours before that. You can check the 6Music schedule around here but most importantly for us, they've decided to rehydrate some old Glastonbury waffle and serve it up during the small hours before any of the live, fresh stuff starts.

The free Metro paper took full advantage of the news to remind us that this is, after all, a Sony Gold Award winning show.

Adam recommends The Flaming Lips this year.

I'm working on a labourious and more radio show specific blogpost while listening to the final two airings of last year, so I'll whistle through the latest links that have drifted across my desktop.

A couple of days after my previous post and to coincide with the international silly spheres event, Adam gave us his re-edit of the Footie Song which some BUGgers were lucky enough to enjoy on a big screen at a glorious resolution.



FiFiFi was casually buying curtains in a shop playing local radio up there in Durham, when The Footie Song piped up in the store. I pictured her running about, pulling all the drapes around her body in a joyous celebration of such an uplifting song. Staying around the ornathalogical areas, a gorgeous woman sat opposite Adam during his journey to London the other day.

There's more. Some days before the beautiful butterfly of Joe Cornish's blog entry alighted on the leafy glade of our world, a few tatty remnants of his crysallis were spotted in the exciting streets of London's Soho. As far as I can tell, nobody traumatised him with a 'Stephen'.

However, while we're in the Stephenage area, friend of the original Stephen made some wonderful beardy cup cakes and she was also the chosen one when Adam asked for luna landing input..

Ken Korda stepped into the breach when Paddy Concertina got tied up with Pipkins and failed to meet Adam for the Big Mixtape.

For the second time this month, Adam made a BUG shaped appearance in Norwich for the Music Video Festival and he has been confirmed to return to the Greenwich Comedy Festival again this year. He's appearing at tea-time on Friday 10th September which is nicely inconvenient for anyone with a proper life.

EDITED TO ADD: I posted that info too soon. There was a bit of disinformation floating around. It's at the much more sensible time of 5pm on Sunday, 12th so everyone can enjoy.

He did a lovely interview at BBC Radio Norfolk and Norwich gave him a proper lectern for his lappie.

Sadly his Norwich date meant that Adam will have missed the final Supergrass gig unless he was teleported down to London straight afterwards.

A new bit of Attack the Block artwork surfaced at Film London and Big Talk have pimped their page a tad.

We had a little bit of fretting when a fan's email was bounced from AdamAndJoe.6Music@bbc.co.uk but James reassured Kendersrule that it did not mark anything ominus, further substantiated but the Glasto news.

Edgar has been quoted as intending to get back on the case of Ant Man with Joe once he's pushed Scott Pilgrim out of the intensive care unit and into the big wide world.

There's a lovely new Tumblr out there with random Adam and Joe nuggets. I'm not doing the Face Book activity play-centre thing so I was completely unaware of the Adam and Joe Status day until after the fact.

There's a lot of naysaying from people who don't understand Twitter and it's not for everyone but as you can probably tell, for me it's a ludicrously fruitful source of spurious knowledge. I've even used the two way function to splatter the area with information myself.

It does hold many other delights.

On Friday 11th, the ever imaginative icon of Adam and Joe fanship, @WickWox did an incredibly creative version of Follow Friday by incorperating her suggestions into Song Wars lyrics. It prompted an enjoyable bit of banter from several of her followers concluding with a hashtag of misheard or mangled lyrics. Annoyingly, Twitter is broken as I write this so the tag isn't productive.

Cheznoir brought us a leaflet from the fibre-glass bum emporium called Pleasure Wood Hills where Adam once took his family. I also learned that France deployed a Buckules lookie-likie in the final 15 minutes of their game last week. @WickWox found this and this in some dusty old tea chest. It must also be said that for chat-up line advice, there is no better place than Twitter.

A few more people discovered the dialect coach woman this week, including Stephen Fry.

Adam finally revealed that the legal situation with international Mixtape podcast cravers will prevent them from hearing it via the BBC. With no desire to upset anyone in the Castle, I have put a little information here. I took Adam's reference to "internet networking and friendship schemes" as being the nearest he could go towards blessing the sharing in dark corners of such material. Please make the iPlayer your first choice, though. The show should be listened to in full for maximum enjoyment.

It was a very Adam and Joe styled 6Music breakfast show yesterday (in my tiny little mind). Shaun played Dr Sexy while he could clearly see Adam and Radiohead's Ed O'Brien through the studio window. The Glastonbury trails have been updated as has the one for Adam Buxton's Big Mixtape. 6Music are so hot, right now. Soon after Shaun handed over to Lauren, she revealed that she'd been partying with Joe the night before. If you don't believe me, check here.

If this has all been too much for you to take in, the bad news is that there will shortly be yet another entry by way of an aide memoir from the last time we heard the duo in action.
