Black Squadron Jingles! #AdamAndJoe

Adam sometimes threatened to make new Black Squadron jingles which would be very exciting but in the meantime, a reminder won't hurt, will it?

....originally sort of requested by this Tweeter who kindly reminded me of this

You can find all the commands we've had so far, listed here.

 

In addition to his bi-monthly BUG shows at the BFI in London, Adam is    playing Manchester in May and Norwich in June

Lego Stivs #AdamAndJoe

Nearly a year before Chris Salt made his celebrated film for Adam's Jane's Brain song*, Adam and Joe were wondering what the nubbin interlockers were called.

If you detect a strange faltering or even perhaps the sense of a ramshackledness in this clip it's because they were tired from getting up nearly half a day before they should have done, they were frightened and nervous of the Big British Behemoth Bruiser and generally way out of their depth.


They deputised for Shaun W Keaveny's Breakfast show for two weeks in August 2007 and frankly, the station has never really been the same since.

It was during their first foray into the Castle when so many of their now beloved themes were hewn from the rampart's rock. Song Wars, Text The Nation and Songwars and Text the Nation.

22nd August 2007

*Jane's Brain was Adam's first submission for Song Wars - a feature that was born during the second week of their tenure on the Breakfast Show for Shaun.

On The Trail Of Adam And Joe

With only a few days left to go before the great returning ceremony, another trail flobbed it's way up our ear passages yesterday.

....and in case you missed it,  here's the trailer from the weekend.

You may like to know that Ben Mercer is playing live tonight.

What a Brilliant Idea! Freestylin' on the Solace #AdamAndJoe

According to my database (you knew I had one of those, right?) I have not noodled this nugget in your noggins so far but I can't think why.  It's where the first Seed of Solace was Sewn.

There was an heartening amount of chatter about Adam & Joe's songs when ITV1 premiered the first terrestrial showing of the film at the weekend.

A Fond Adieu to Andrew Collins, Richard Herring and Michael Legge

Andrew Collins was joined by his friend, Michael Legge to perform the last deputising show of their ever expanding run in the 10am - 1pm Saturday slot today.

I'd like to say he'd kept the slot clean and tidy for Adam and Joe but most of the shows included his other friend, Richard Herring who is renowned for his fascination, nay obsession with messy slots. What I will say is that they certainly made it their very own and are most deserving of all the weeping heard up and down the country at lunchtime today.

Do catch their final-for-the-time-being show on the iPlayer while you can. It was a thing of beauty. We know Andrew to be a sensitive and emotional little thing but he seemed to keep it together with a confidence that implied he knows he'll never be far away from 6Music.

There was a trail

and then a song

You may know that even if some kind of bias can occasionally be detected, in the big scheme of things, I have no favourites. This is what I actually tweeted:

Swtweet
If there's one thing that Andrew and I might have in common, it's the desire to maintain a sense of balance, so he finished the show with Joe's song and some thank yous.

I'm sure you need no reminder but Collins and Herring have a long-standing Collings and Herrin Podcast that will effortlessly delight and offend your ears at the push of a button.

Collings_herrin_podcasts

We can look forward to Andrew's BBC Radio 4 drama called Mr Blue Sky starting on 16th May in the morning and that very evening Richard will begin what must be the third series of As It Occurs To Me  for which you can buy tickets here.  In some kind of genuis/idiotic way, such is the energy of the man, he may be coming to a town near you with his Christ On A Bike tour, as well.

Exploding Scientific Myths and Plenty of Man Heat #AdamAndJoe

If I was going to make a detailed analysis of this bipplebop, I'd say that is starts off very shakily. This is essentially because Joe has some proper grownups information to impart rather than pointless kiddie-waffle but reassuringly it descends into the usual, albeit rather stilted double entendre.

Adam then grasps the serious mettle with his acquired scientific knowledge but in doing so touches on a few of Joe's more delicate parts which you'd think would upset him but he turns it around into some sexy nonsense and in the end, as always, it's only Jude who suffers.

I'm trying to work out why I haven't put this here before. Was I protecting some kind of modesty?

Stop The Slaughter #AdamAndJoe

I'm at my happiest when there's a balance to life and that includes Adam and Joe.

With all this enthusiasm surrounding the Haughty Man's hobby I was heartened to see the equilibrium restored with a blog entry from both the Handsome Man and Adam yesterday.

Seems like a day to hear one of Adam's most melodically enjoyable jingle jongles. It's like he's channelling angels, isn't it?

Think of it as a DVD trailer #AdamAndJoe #AttackTheBlock #JoeCornish

For some years now, Joe has had a little hobby. He's noodled away at it diligently.

He's a closet, filmic word-worrier and by tomorrow he could be on the way to becoming a box-office botherer.

This small gem from a couple of years ago gives an insight into how his creative muscles flex and emphasises the importance Adam's role in bringing the film together.

We are fortunate to have this kind of material in our archives. I believe this scene is from reel seven......or the cutting room floor.....or part of a gag reel rejected from the DVD extras.

A Very Charitable Day #AdamAndJoe

I was hardly likely to go a full day without shoving some Adam and/or Joe in your charity loving faces, was I?

This is old but it's for the children. It's for the children who like swear words and what self respecting kid wouldn't?

This has it all. It's got waves, smiles, step ladders, children, pauses, war, objectivity, black shirts, a tatty white sheet, a spelling bee, beards (it hasn't got any beards to speak of, really), hand porn, f-bombs, sensitive thought, perfect hair, the hint of a nose pick, mild band dissing, confusion, remote controlled eyebrow entertainment, swears, sincere concern and a little bit of embarrassment.

Seriously, tadpoles - Bad Word Warning!

A special, one minute show dedicated to farts #AdamAndJoe

This was in response to a request from John Reid.

Don, if you're insane enough to be an ego surfer, please understand that Adam and Joe love and admire you but somehow they slipped into silliness. No idea how that happened. It's most unusual.

Exclusive: Early Bladerunner voice-over #AdamBuxton

Goodness only know where he found this* but back in June, Adam shared a newly unearthed clip from the now famously so-dull-they're-wickles Bladerunner voice-over master.
This clip was requested by the amazing blog contributor who goes by the webnick of Marge Gunderson. Feel free to make a request but you'd better be quick. I'll be resting my blog bothering when the proper show returns.

You couldn't help but love Garth Jennings when he stepped in for Joe. Without any attempt to imitate, he was every bit the match for him except that he flaunted his fondness for Adam more freely than The Haughtyman.

Adam and Joe.....on the radio #AdamAndJoe #LaurenLaverne #6Music

This nuggletta is a no-brainer.

Yesterday, Adam stood atop a gusty outcrop and Joe popped his head out from under his duvet to simultaneously call Lovely Lauren with more (or fewer) details about their return to 6Music.  

Joe seems assured it's going to be 2nd April but Adam seemed to need a little more reassurance.

My work here is almost done and I shall invoke the winding down apparatus with joyful haste.

If you don't want to hear this with a burst of Dr Sexy at the beginning.....you can go straight to the BBC Website.

Andrew Collins made a sad but very entertaining post on his blog yesterday which you can read here. He and his unruly chum have made worthy alternatives for the duration and will no doubt return as soon as Adam and Joe get a bit tired again.

Toff Chat #AdamAndJoe

I'm amused by the rapid decision making in Joe's voice here.

He starts to speak using the assumption that several of their listeners are the kind of people who are regularly interviewed by the press, realises that might be a dubious standpoint or at least an ironically elitist one but decides that if he continues with barely a falter in his voice, nobody is going to analyse that little bit of celebrity-centric nonsense.
