I know James included most of this in the recent Best Of Adam and Joe show but in celebration of Professor Brian Cox's three day sky lollop, I thought I'd put the whole thing here.
I haven't done the job of chopping out Joe's little mistake(s). It would be disingenuous of me.......and take time.....and David is so lovely.
From 2nd April 2011
During tonight's Stargazing, PBC started to mention Eta Carinae but stopped and showed a picture of something else. Shame.
They also did a light pollution experiment from Dulverton in Devon where I believe Joe told us he has fond, childhood memories.
....and lest we should forget, The Universe downloads the podcast.
Finally, here is James Hood's illustration from The Universe Show.
A little bit of Bowie twitty chat with a lovely lady from Chicago prompted me to gather this lot together.
I wish to make it very clear that Adam and Joe's love of Mr Bowie knows no limits and all of this nonsense is done with the deepest respect, affection and admiration.
Adam took inspiration from his beloved Labyrinth for this audition piece.
....and even made this haunting melody.
Staying in that goblin king area, Den of Geek paid their dutiful respects to Adam and Joe when they rounded up their top ten Bowie Impressions as part of their Labyrinth Anniversary celebrations.
1. Adam Buxton
There was only one person who could really top this list, and that's the man who's done more in recent years for the humble Bowie impression than anyone else. I am talking, of course, about Count Buckules himself, Adam Buxton of Adam And Joe fame. Scratch that, make it two people. They both deserve the glory.
High functioning Bowie obsessives and experts in Bowie dialectology, Buxton and Cornish have harvested the fruit of their decades-long Bowie fixation to bring us a special gift, the one size fits all Bowie impression. They've managed to distil any utterance by the man who sold the world down to just two beautifully precise, repeated syllables, wuzza wuzza.
It's a capsule Bowie impression and there's no other way to describe it but genius. Sheer wuzza wuzza genius. Congratulations, Adam and Joe. We think a celebratory Bowiesnack might be in order.
They included this film by Chris Salt using Adam's lyrics and track in support of BBC Radio 6Music:
Who can forget them riffing on the notion that Mr Bowie might be a surprise guest at Glastonbury 2010?
I really WISH there was a different YouTube version of Joe's Bathtime for Bowie song because I loathe this stupid picture & the sound quality is rubbs. However, don't forget you can buy this and literally tens of other Adam and Joe songs here.
They mention their beloved Bowie at some point during every radio show but like to give him special reverence at Christmas.
...and here's a bit of randomosity that we've grown to expect, accept and love.
and a Bowie Burst in here...
...and a chat about Bowie's Boggins stance:
BrianEggo collected all these nuggets to embarrass the idiotholes for time immemorial. WARNING: THIS CONTAINS A LOT OF VERY SILLY WAFFLE
When Adam and Joe discovered the above, they responded thusly during their next show.
I did hesitate to include this next one. Adam is such an unfalteringly honest soul and we all love him for it but in this case it bothered Joe and in hindsight, may have bothered Adam. I hope I'm doing the right thing. To my mind, if anything, it amplifies their true love and appreciation of David by not blindly fawning over every aspect of his output.
and another from the slightly contentious department, they discuss The Office and Doctor Who.
While Twitsquadron were frantically typing, dedicated members of Black Squadron were enjoying their just reward for getting down and dirty on Worthy Farm with Commanders Buckules and Cornballs.
Here are some pictures scooped up, mainly from Twitter*. If I've included your picture or likeness against your will, please let me know & I'll remove it forthwith.
If you don't want to ponce about with a slideshow, the link to the set is here (with thanks to @SmiteHim for pointing that out).
Don't forget you can still download loads of podcasts, including the ones from Glastonbury, here and Adam and Joe still have a Glastonbury 2011 page at the BBC website. It will take you to more photos, amongst other delights.
Adam Buxton is playing Latitude, Greenwich and Cheltenham Festivals in addition to his usual BUG shows at the BFI and Norwich Playhouse. He's also taking BUG to Edinburgh for a few glorious days and doing specials in Bristol and Hull.
Joe's film, Attack the Block continues to open throughout the world and will be available to rent and buy in the UK on several formats at the end of September. If you're lucky enough to get tickets, Joe is talking about it during the Somerset House Film4 Season.
Other than that he's just meeting royalty, watching films, doing San Diego Comic Con panels, making himself sick on roller-coasters and writing.......b-o-r-i-n-g.....
From 9th April 2011 show....airing during the following week.
The Podcast has not slipped from the top of the iTunes Main chart since two hours after the first one went up. The episode is being selfishly kept from the top by Gervais-based fodder.
Even on a Friday, the full Listen Again show is in the top 30 of all BBC radio but it was in the top ten earlier in the week, of course. The Adam and Joe Blog has links to the Black Squadron photo galleries and hopefully another picture from James Hood soon.
Since standing down from nugget duties, I've put a page of links together here and to spare the Twitter feeds of that tiny proportion of my followers who are not interested in every breath the idiotholes take on a Saturday morning, I have another tiny twitter account. To be honest, you don't need to follow it. You're best just tuning into WickWox's wickle list for the morning or just punch the ol' #Twitsquadron into your device (works best in an app, if you like to tweet as well as read).
You'll soon find out that I don't have a clue what I'm doing there but I did make a Facebook Page in anticipation of someone sending me a peripheral for my brain that will enable me to use it properly.
My life motto(for today): Don't expect miracles and life will always amaze you.
On this glorious day of returning heroes I shall make my final daily sound pop and there is no better tribute or ear greasing preparation than Garth's Flattery Song.
Don't be embarrassed if you shed a tear. It's natural.
Join in the ramblings of TwitSquadron or search for #Twitsquadron and if you're early enough there's #BlackSquadron. If you indulge in Stephenage, please remember to act responsibly and remember it's with a 'ph' and not a 'v'.
There's also a Lingr room around (You might need to use this link to sign-up)
In addition to his bi-monthly BUG shows at the BFI in London, Adam is playing Manchester in May and Norwich in June
In the unlikely event that either of them check in here, I thought it might be helpful to give a reminder of the words you may not use within The Castle walls.
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.
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?
I love Michael Lonsdale so dearly and Adam seems to capture the very essence of his soul in this sliver of stibble. It also contains Joe's now beloved remembrance of Mr Moore's "a woman".
