Adam Buxton's incredible personal gift to Joe Cornish

Once again, Adam shows passionate care for his dear comedy partner by insulting his ears with a home-made Dylan Christmas CD.  I've linked all the other gifts but of course, this one is so unique, so touchingly personal, that all I could do was post Joe's detailed aural description of the packaging and a couple of clips as aired on today's show.
ETA: Adam has put lovely, clean, perfect, full length versions of his Dylan songs on the BBC 6Music Blog for you to enjoy properly. Thank you Buckles!




Usual Disclaimer: I really hope I'm not causing any distress to the Beardy Viscount Buckules, the tinsel bedecked Commander Cornballs or indeed any of the Castle keepers by posting this.  If I am, please find some obscure way of letting me know and I shall cease and desist as any good squadron member would.

The Gift of Adam and Joe

With the last honey drenched tones of their lovely voices still dripping luxuriously from my earholes, I've collected a shopping list if you want to relive this final show in your own home with your own cherished comedy partner.
The Easy Button
Daily Mirror Sports Pages/Cornish style wrapping paper.
Female Force
Ant & Dec
Bicycle Diaries - sadly out of stock, currently
Free NME Kings of Leon poster/wrapping paper
Nuts DVD
I can't link the unique Buckles/Dylan Christmas CD, sadly but I might pop some sound bytes together later......

#TwitSquadron: Help give Megan (@discho) the birthday of her dreams!Sign Here

One of the most beautiful Twitsquadron members of our rank has a birthday on Saturday and I'm wondering if our combined forces can make her dream come true by eliciting a mention on the show or even a lickle song.

She'd probably like a gentle kiss from Joe and a lick from Boggins so lets see if collecting a few comments here from other squadron members might do the trick. I realise they get literally hundreds of requests for dedications but perhaps we can have a voice from the merits of our special Twitter solidarity. Let's make this happen!

I'll collect them together and mail them later on Friday or early on Saturday.

You can post a comment using your Twitter account and don't worry about being a Black Squadron member. This is an all day operation.

If nothing else, let's collect some birthday greetings for Megan!

Wonderful Made-Up Joke

This made up joke by Paul O'Connor was so precious and unique that it couldn't be included in the podcast for 31st October 2009 so here it is.

Insane or Inspired? Song for Katie Price by Adam Buxton

Adam Buxton has applied his awesome talent (some might say, wastefully?) to create a moving ballad in honour of a woman about whom I have no factual information, merely mythical and nonsensical bytes that periodically seep into my consciousness.
Once again, I really hope I'm not causing any distress to the Viscount Buckules, Commander Cornballs or indeed any of the Castle keepers by posting this.  If I am, please find some obscure way of letting me know and I shall cease and desist as any good squadron member would.

Make your Boggins-the-dog statement through the medium of song

Just a chunk from today's Adam and Joe show to tide us over until the full files are up on the BBC 6Music Blog. Are you inspired, lovely Ben Mercer?


Once again, please excuse the Twitter pings if they invade your ears. I just grabbed it from the lappy & forgot to turn the flippin' noise off

and I believe this is the last guy's link http://www.myspace.com/thebarefootbusker

Adam Buxton Sings Auld Lang Syne

This is just so very moving.

Inspired by the truly unbelievable work that Bob Dylan has done in preparation for his Christmas present buying fund, Adam has paid this breathtaking homage to the man.




Joe Cornish 'sings' his Cookie song

Joe freeformed an almost equally moving rendition of that old Christmas KQLLASSIXCQ "I love Cookies".
Prepare to weep.

You know I have to be fair when it comes to these fellas, right?
