You thought I... You would think I would become arrogant, but isn't it incredible how humble I remain? 08:26.374 --> 08:30.696 Like I said the other day to Joe, something about, oh, well, you know, it doesn't matter. 08:30.716 --> 08:36.039 I mean, it's obviously very few people vote and Joe said, that's just because you haven't won. 08:37.119 --> 08:38.280 And he really meant it. 08:38.540 --> 08:39.341 Okay, so there we go. 08:39.361 --> 08:40.382 Is that good enough for you, Daniel? 08:41.222 --> 08:41.922 Here's the results. 08:41.983 --> 08:47.846 So let's just remind people that last week we wrote songs about, I'm a celebrity get me out of here. 08:48.267 --> 08:50.288 Joe's was from the point of view of someone who didn't watch. 08:50.728 --> 08:53.510 Mine was from the point of view of quite a big fan of the program. 08:54.470 --> 08:56.112 Joe was less confident about his 08:56.952 --> 09:03.597 than I was, and he did quite a lot of explaining before he played his track, I seem to remember, which featured... It needs contextualising. 09:03.617 --> 09:06.339 Yeah, which featured the chant...

Although that implies that there's nothing in it. 13:20.240 --> 13:23.744 But it might just be that I'm the inferior songwriter. 13:23.784 --> 13:25.406 That's where I was trying to get us to. 13:25.466 --> 13:25.926 Yeah, yeah. 13:25.946 --> 13:27.027 Anyway, we got finished. 13:27.087 --> 13:32.273 We've got this week's Song Wars coming up later on in the programme, but let's leave that alone for the time being. 13:32.633 --> 13:35.136 And before the news, let's have a little bit of Kings of Leon. 13:35.176 --> 13:35.496 Why not? 13:37.158 --> 13:39.400 This is Adam and Jo on BBC Six Music. 13:39.440 --> 13:41.262 It's time for the news read by Harvey Cooke. 13:41.903 --> 13:42.524 On digital... 13:47.680 --> 13:50.823 Sorry, I was just amusing myself there. 13:50.903 --> 13:51.143 Why? 13:51.163 --> 13:52.305 We didn't watch. 13:53.506 --> 13:55.468 I was just thinking like the Dandy Warhols, right? 13:55.488 --> 14:00.394 I was thinking of other names for bands where you could slightly manglerize the name of an artist, right? 14:00.414 --> 14:03.637 Because obviously that's Andy Warhol with a D at the beginning. 14:04.258 --> 14:07.982 So I was thinking of the, I'll say this very quickly and then move on, the Vincent van Cox. 14:09.043 --> 14:12.085 Um, and then, uh, what other artists could you have? 14:12.465 --> 14:14.106 I don't really know what you're thinking. 14:14.506 --> 14:15.346 Well, you know what I'm saying? 14:15.907 --> 14:20.529 Like, the idea for the Dandy Warhols is Andy Warhol with a D. Oh, I see what you mean, yeah. 14:20.569 --> 14:20.829 Yeah. 14:20.869 --> 14:24.931 So, like, uh, band names that are built out of slightly, um... Yeah, but just other artists. 14:24.951 --> 14:25.932 There must be lots of other artists. 14:25.972 --> 14:27.072 Almost like The Beatles. 14:27.753 --> 14:28.013 Yeah. 14:28.053 --> 14:29.334 That's just built out of a word, though. 14:30.034 --> 14:32.775 Pueblo Picasso writes Jude, our producer. 14:32.795 --> 14:33.356 Are they a band? 14:34.436 --> 14:34.716 No. 14:34.736 --> 14:36.257 Pueblo. 14:36.277 --> 14:37.778 Yeah, but you'd want something 14:39.125 --> 14:42.688 I don't know, you'd want something a little bit more... Not that Dandy Warhols is a filthy name. 14:42.848 --> 14:46.991 But anyway, I was just slightly amusing myself at the end of that song there. 14:47.051 --> 14:48.572 I wish I'd never mentioned it now. 14:48.612 --> 14:52.294 It's turned into a terrible, terrible episode in my life. 14:53.035 --> 14:54.896 This is Adam and Joe on BBC 6 Music. 14:55.176 --> 14:56.197 Happy Saturday morning. 14:56.918 --> 14:59.359 It's time to talk about an exciting new DVD event. 14:59.580 --> 15:00.480 Oh yeah. 15:00.600 --> 15:08.426 Fans of sci-fi, of 80s sci-fi are all in a tither this weekend because, like Adam and I, they would have been out and bought the new Blade Runner. 15:08.786 --> 15:09.366 DVD. 15:09.687 --> 15:12.068 People have been waiting for it for years and years and years. 15:12.408 --> 15:15.129 It's got a three and a half hour making of documentary. 15:15.670 --> 15:17.931 It comes out in all sorts of different editions. 15:18.231 --> 15:19.332 There's a two disc set. 15:19.632 --> 15:20.792 There's a five disc set. 15:21.072 --> 15:22.533 There's a steel briefcase. 15:22.633 --> 15:23.654 I've got the briefcase. 15:23.694 --> 15:24.594 Did you really buy the briefcase? 15:24.654 --> 15:25.155 Yes, I did. 15:26.195 --> 15:28.557 You can when you go on holiday, we're gonna pack your pants in it. 15:28.657 --> 15:28.978 Yes. 15:29.058 --> 15:31.800 I carry it around with me everywhere Have you really got the briefcase? 15:32.301 --> 15:33.542 Wait, I'm talking about that. 15:33.622 --> 15:35.403 No, is it an actual briefcase? 15:35.443 --> 15:39.627 Yeah, it's an actual Oh, no, I've got the metal box that opens from both sides. 15:39.827 --> 15:48.655 Yeah that opens from both sides Why does it open from both sides in case you in case you want to one side you can open one sides for humans and the other sides for replicants and 15:48.815 --> 15:51.597 Now one side you get the little lenticular. 15:51.857 --> 15:52.517 Is that what it's called? 15:52.537 --> 15:53.338 It's called a lenticular. 15:53.358 --> 15:54.918 You get a free Blade Runner lenticular. 15:54.979 --> 15:56.019 It's set in Perspex. 15:56.299 --> 15:58.921 You tilt it and it looks like Deckard's pointing the gun. 15:59.321 --> 16:00.081 Lenticular. 16:00.622 --> 16:07.806 And it's sat there in a little foamy cover thing and then the other side you get direct access to the DVDs. 16:07.866 --> 16:08.426 Oh I see. 16:08.866 --> 16:12.268 So one lid is for lenticular access, the other. 16:12.328 --> 16:13.249 Do you really think that's why? 16:13.609 --> 16:14.409 I think it must be. 16:14.609 --> 16:23.133 It means you can't it can't be used for biscuits once you've eaten the DVDs it can't be used for storing biscuits because you might open the wrong top side and they might fall out. 16:23.213 --> 16:25.874 It could have just been a mistake they could have just manufactured wonky. 16:25.914 --> 16:37.519 But it's a terrific thing and you know because it's the first weekend after its release a lot of people will be digging through those extras this weekend and if you haven't bought it and you're a fan of films then what are you thinking? 16:37.739 --> 16:38.380 What are you thinking? 16:38.400 --> 16:38.820 Gotta buy it. 16:38.840 --> 16:41.102 And if you're a fan of extras, oh my lord! 16:41.382 --> 16:45.986 But I tell you what, on those films, there's a lot of stuff coming out at the moment before Christmas that is extras packed. 16:46.086 --> 16:48.788 Well, this week is an exciting week, isn't it? 16:48.889 --> 16:53.533 All the video games and DVDs that they've been storing up finally come into the shops. 16:53.553 --> 16:56.175 Like, help the Beatles film is re-released. 16:56.215 --> 16:59.237 Re-released with lots of extras, but the extras are getting the thumbs down on the internet for help. 16:59.257 --> 17:00.038 But can we stick to Blade Runner? 17:00.058 --> 17:03.461 Absolutely, yeah, but I was gonna say the extras on Blade Runner are top notch so far. 17:03.561 --> 17:19.601 Can I tell you my highlights because I've watched most of them and I would recommend that you do buy that tin because it's got that amazing documentary but it's also got a special thing you'll find tucked away on I think disc four and it's just called deleted scenes and outtakes. 17:20.402 --> 17:22.784 But what it actually is, is 40 minutes. 17:22.884 --> 17:24.786 It's kind of like another version of Blade Runner. 17:25.307 --> 17:32.593 It's a whole narrative made out of dropped scenes and also made out of all the rejected voiceover that Harrison Ford did. 17:32.613 --> 17:41.201 Because famously they tried to rescue the narrative by getting Harrison Ford to do lots of super on the nose, expositionary internal monologue 17:41.681 --> 18:03.860 Voiceover yeah does that make sense yeah exactly dude just because they felt that it was too confusing the whole thing And he just needed to really boldly say so he was contractually obliged to do this they stuck him in a voiceover booth And he had to say stuff like I wasn't sure whether she was a replica or a human I wasn't sure whether I was a replica or a human yeah, but what is human? 18:04.540 --> 18:25.589 who knows stuff like that stuff that doesn't need to be said out loud yeah uh so there's loads of that voiceover on this amazing 40-minute kind of uh weird bad version of blade runner yeah with with goofy scenes in there there's one scene where he goes to visit you know the bloke at the beginning of the film who gets blasted by leon but yeah the blade runner who harrison who decard replaced 18:26.009 --> 18:26.389 in the office. 18:26.409 --> 18:32.192 And you always assume, watching the film as it exists, that that guy just dies when he gets blasted by Leon. 18:32.572 --> 18:42.836 But in this off-cut version, he survives and he's in a sort of little stasis chamber in a hospital thing that looks very much like a set from Alien. 18:42.856 --> 18:43.996 Yeah, like the hypersleep part. 18:44.016 --> 18:46.317 Yeah, and it's lit very similarly. 18:46.357 --> 18:50.679 So it's weird to see Deckard wandering into this little scene from Alien almost. 18:50.759 --> 18:59.163 There's quite a good bit when that guy realizes that Deckard has slept with Rachel, he accuses him of making love to a fridge. 18:59.183 --> 19:00.464 Did you get that line? 19:00.584 --> 19:01.304 Haven't got there yet. 19:01.504 --> 19:03.505 Yeah, he says it in a slightly ruder way. 19:03.905 --> 19:04.646 So that's brilliant. 19:04.666 --> 19:08.007 And the other thing to check out is they've got all the trims from every single take. 19:08.448 --> 19:13.250 So they've got the little bits from before the director called action and after he called cut. 19:13.650 --> 19:36.496 from every single take and they've put a lot of it in the documentary and it shows Harrison Ford getting really angry with Sean Young who's very young and inexperienced and the best little clip is when they're having their love scene and Sean Young is kissing Harrison Ford and you know all men out there will sympathize with a moment when you're feeling sexy you think you're sexy and then a woman laughs at you 19:36.716 --> 19:55.893 right and it can be really awful if a woman laughs when you think you're feeling seriously sexy at the wrong moment at the wrong moment and there's there's there's a bit where they're acting of course but there's a bit where Harrison's looking very sexy and uh and uh she's uh laughing at him yeah she just breaks out of her part and laughs at him he looks so angry 19:55.993 --> 19:56.633 He looks furious. 19:56.653 --> 19:57.194 He turns around. 19:57.714 --> 20:00.756 I think he's furious partly because he just wants to get the take done, you know. 20:01.177 --> 20:01.377 Yeah. 20:01.517 --> 20:02.778 But also he's in the moment. 20:02.818 --> 20:03.558 She's yanked him out. 20:03.838 --> 20:11.643 And they've got some great little moments as well when they play you the sort of outtakes from his voiceover sessions as well from the various different voiceover sessions. 20:12.084 --> 20:16.086 And he he reads the line and then you hear him at the end of the line saying, this is weird. 20:16.126 --> 20:17.047 This is rubbish. 20:17.407 --> 20:17.828 What is this? 20:17.868 --> 20:18.888 We're not going to use this. 20:18.928 --> 20:19.809 This is so strange. 20:20.429 --> 20:25.233 And and then the guy supervising the voiceover sessions sort of gets a bit shirty with him. 20:26.033 --> 20:28.915 Did you say, did I hear you saying that you weren't gonna do this? 20:29.616 --> 20:30.676 And he says, no, sir. 20:30.856 --> 20:31.697 No, that's okay. 20:31.717 --> 20:32.217 Carry on. 20:32.558 --> 20:33.278 It's fantastic. 20:33.338 --> 20:38.282 And we highly recommend it, but we should say there are other DVD box sets available in the shops. 20:38.462 --> 20:39.463 He's good though, isn't he, Riddles? 20:39.823 --> 20:40.223 He's the king. 20:40.243 --> 20:40.723 He's a master. 20:41.024 --> 20:42.225 Anyway, listen, music time. 20:42.325 --> 20:44.026 Here's Ian Brown with Sister Rose. 20:48.365 --> 20:49.846 Ooh, it just suddenly popped out there. 20:50.387 --> 20:50.787 What did? 20:50.807 --> 20:56.051 Ian, he just suddenly popped out for a little, er, for some milk or something and left the song just hanging there. 20:56.792 --> 20:58.113 Sister Rose, that was, folks. 20:58.273 --> 20:59.814 You're already upset about that, aren't you, Joe?

26:28.131 --> 26:30.773 He wouldn't just use any old track out there. 26:30.793 --> 26:31.473 No, absolutely. 26:31.493 --> 26:39.119 He wouldn't use White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane for example, which has been used in every single film, especially in a film with drug sequences. 26:39.139 --> 26:43.943 And do you remember that film Stoned, the Stephen Woolley film about Brian Jones from the Roland Stones? 26:44.883 --> 26:49.025 I couldn't believe that he did a whole drug montage with White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane. 26:49.065 --> 26:50.366 What's he thinking about? 26:50.526 --> 27:08.214 Hey folks, incidentally I found out what they were giggling about before and it was just because when I started speaking I was adjusting my packet right through my genes and so they started giggling about it and then Joe didn't feel it was appropriate to mention but it totally threw me off just because of a little packet jiggling. 27:08.994 --> 27:10.716 Anyway, that's what it was all about. 27:10.956 --> 27:13.418 Here's a session recorded for Gideon Co on the 3rd of May 2006. 27:15.280 --> 27:17.161 In the hub right here, right next door. 27:17.642 --> 27:19.023 This is Primal Scream with dolls. 27:21.735 --> 27:22.095 There you go. 27:22.115 --> 27:23.796 That's E-Pro by Beck. 27:23.856 --> 27:26.758 Hey, this is Adam and Joe here on a Saturday morning. 27:27.218 --> 27:28.239 Nearly Christmas. 27:28.299 --> 27:29.279 It's nearly Christmas. 27:29.619 --> 27:32.881 It's quite a revolting day outside here in London. 27:32.961 --> 27:34.062 Hope it's nicer for you where you are. 27:34.082 --> 27:35.683 It's going to be a dodgy weekend, apparently. 27:35.723 --> 27:38.925 There's a big storm that's going to rip across Britain tomorrow. 27:39.005 --> 27:39.785 Oh, not another one. 27:39.965 --> 27:40.305 Yeah. 27:40.585 --> 27:42.467 Is it the perfect storm with George Clooney? 27:42.667 --> 27:44.928 Hopefully, because then it'll be hunky. 27:45.148 --> 27:46.969 Cos then, it'll be so hunky! 27:47.609 --> 27:51.070 Are we gonna do... What were you finding about other genome projects? 27:51.130 --> 27:55.292 Well, this week I happened to see something on BBC television called the Richard Dimbleby Lecture. 27:55.312 --> 27:59.393 I don't know whether any listeners stumbled upon it, but it's the sort of thing you don't get on telly anymore. 27:59.753 --> 28:00.774 Has he got a fight? 28:01.474 --> 28:02.895 No, it hasn't got fights. 28:02.915 --> 28:03.975 Can you vote people out? 28:04.035 --> 28:06.496 No, that's why it's surprising to find it on telly. 28:07.137 --> 28:10.678 And I don't know if anybody saw it, but it was a sort of a big BBC event. 28:10.758 --> 28:11.479 Is there dancing? 28:12.179 --> 28:14.600 No, it was sponsored sponsored. 28:14.740 --> 28:16.721 It was kind of it's the Richard Dimbleby lecture. 28:16.741 --> 28:20.043 So it's an important, you know, he's a big guy in terms of the values of the BBC. 28:20.743 --> 28:30.053 And every year, obviously, they have this important lecture where they ship a brilliant person in, and all the BBC bigwigs have to turn up and listen to it, and it gets broadcast. 28:30.093 --> 28:36.540 It's obviously something that they've been trapped into doing because of some sort of remit or something. 28:36.600 --> 28:37.721 I'm sure they don't want it on. 28:38.442 --> 28:39.283 Yeah, exactly. 28:39.303 --> 28:41.646 But it's on, like 11 on a Tuesday. 28:42.066 --> 28:47.452 And they had this guy called Dr. J. Craig Venter, who was instrumental in mapping the human genome. 28:47.833 --> 28:51.136 And he was giving a big speech about the future, about genetics. 28:51.597 --> 28:57.543 And he was the most untill visually friendly guy I've ever seen. 28:57.964 --> 28:58.765 He couldn't speak. 28:59.605 --> 29:06.129 And he was using about four autocues and he was having trouble getting from one autocue to the next. 29:06.189 --> 29:07.210 Do you know what I mean? 29:07.250 --> 29:19.618 He was trying to make his eye line look realistic as if he had learnt this stuff, but in doing so he was switching from an autocue on the right of the auditorium to an autocue on the left of the auditorium, but he was doing that mid-word. 29:19.958 --> 29:20.238 Right. 29:20.278 --> 29:25.881 That is why the human genome is such an important that kind of thing. 29:25.941 --> 29:26.161 Yeah. 29:26.581 --> 29:33.024 And then so that was quite interesting because you don't get a lot of that on telly and it immediately makes it quite compelling someone who's just really incapable. 29:33.064 --> 29:33.824 Gross incompetence. 29:33.844 --> 29:34.065 Yeah. 29:35.605 --> 29:36.146 He was brilliant. 29:36.186 --> 29:40.888 This is one of the most brilliant men in the world, being clumsy and untellivial. 29:41.228 --> 29:48.872 And then watching this, it kept cutting away to the audience, because obviously just a locked off shot of this guy's... He looked a bit like James Cameron to paint the picture. 29:49.773 --> 29:52.314 That this locked off shot of this guy talking wasn't that interesting. 29:52.574 --> 29:53.895 So they kept cutting away to the audience. 29:54.235 --> 29:56.596 In the audience was everyone who mattered in the BBC. 29:56.976 --> 29:59.598 And it was like watching a school assembly. 29:59.818 --> 30:00.338 Dick and Dom. 30:00.398 --> 30:03.400 Because depending on their different... Dick and Dom hadn't been invited. 30:03.940 --> 30:07.742 But depending on their status within the BBC, there was a different level of interest. 30:08.082 --> 30:11.384 Mark Thompson, the king of the big British castle, the head of the BBC, was there. 30:11.724 --> 30:21.569 He was quite literally leaning forward in his seat, leaning as close to this guy as he could, resting his chin on his fist with a look of rapt. 30:21.849 --> 30:23.450 Like, I'm really absorbing all of this. 30:24.010 --> 30:25.371 The BBC are going to go genetic. 30:26.071 --> 30:29.152 We're somehow going to put the BBC into people's genomes. 30:29.192 --> 30:29.752 G-Zone. 30:29.912 --> 30:34.674 Yeah, G-Zone, the BBC G. It's a new genetic channel where we'll actually clone listeners. 30:35.794 --> 30:44.097 And then I think David Bellamy was there looking... It's a bit like the Hello Woman who reviews the films by leaning forward or back in her seat. 30:44.717 --> 30:48.999 There were a couple of BBC staffers who appeared to be asleep on each other's shoulders. 30:49.059 --> 30:49.979 Was Graham Norton there? 30:50.639 --> 30:51.419 Norton wasn't there. 30:51.479 --> 30:52.620 I don't know why he wasn't there. 30:53.300 --> 31:01.708 But and then Tony Robinson was there doing his best time team, you know, he was doing his best to look interested, but seemed to be sort of nodding off. 31:02.408 --> 31:05.531 And then there were one or two people who were looking bored. 31:05.831 --> 31:10.416 But when the camera came onto them and they were aware that the camera was onto them, they started taking notes. 31:10.496 --> 31:10.636 Yeah. 31:10.996 --> 31:13.499 They suddenly started to look quite interested. 31:14.159 --> 31:18.664 All that said and done though, what this guy was saying was quite optimistic for the future of the world. 31:18.684 --> 31:19.185 Oh, that's good. 31:19.205 --> 31:20.045 Do you want me to go into it? 31:20.146 --> 31:20.946 I'd like a little bit. 31:20.966 --> 31:23.569 Can you give me a tiny slice of easily digestible optimism? 31:23.729 --> 31:24.890 Disruptive technology. 31:25.551 --> 31:33.119 If we're cynical that politicians aren't going to save the world from global warming and stuff, he's saying that someone will invent something that will just change the world. 31:33.219 --> 31:34.000 Well, this is what we want. 31:34.480 --> 31:55.744 of disruptive technology exactly because if human beings are good for anything they're good at adapting right yes so so someone will invent a new type of fuel that will be so powerful that people will just have to use it you crazy fuel yeah okay now folks after this track we are going to launch song wars for this week wow we've got some amazing stuff to play you but first here are the baby shambles 31:57.688 --> 32:03.290 Hmm Kate Moss there with you talk those baby channels. 32:03.330 --> 32:15.835 I'm joking but Kate Moss helped write it apparently we're told Hey, this is Adam and Joe here on BBC six music and it's time to launch this week's Oh See, I mean I built them right now. 32:15.976 --> 32:17.936 It's time for song wars 32:30.737 --> 32:32.618 Listen the test, so check it out. 32:33.018 --> 32:38.901 It started out as a bit of light-hearted fun, and after six weeks, it's turned into something horrible. 32:39.141 --> 32:40.562 Yeah. 32:40.842 --> 32:42.003 Is that what somebody has tested in? 32:42.023 --> 32:42.983 Listeners resentment. 32:43.023 --> 32:43.404 Yeah. 32:43.744 --> 32:45.145 A simmering, bubbling choreography. 32:45.165 --> 32:45.785 Now, that's good, man. 32:45.865 --> 32:47.986 This is our fortune we're making here, right? 32:48.006 --> 32:56.851 We're going to, folks, we've composed an original song every week for the last six weeks, and one day we're going to release all these, and we're going to make five pounds. 32:57.011 --> 32:57.711 We've got to join PRS. 32:59.532 --> 33:00.213 We're in PRS. 33:00.354 --> 33:01.415 Are we? 33:01.455 --> 33:04.800 Yeah, I get checks for 15p from our football song every year. 33:04.820 --> 33:05.100 Really? 33:05.140 --> 33:06.783 You're getting all the money. 33:06.803 --> 33:07.524 You've got to split it. 33:08.305 --> 33:09.567 I want my 6.5b. 33:10.328 --> 33:14.974 So listen, the theme of this week's song Wars was suggested by Nathan in South London. 33:16.015 --> 33:18.476 And he sent this email on the 26th of November 2007. 33:20.176 --> 33:21.957 Two minutes past four in the afternoon. 33:22.617 --> 33:25.698 For this week's theme, what do you say to a film soundtrack? 33:25.738 --> 33:30.960 I was thinking specifically fictional sequels, but admittedly that's mainly because I'd like to hear your take on Teen Wolf 3. 33:31.740 --> 33:37.402 But anything along that line, franchises that wouldn't really stand up to being resurrected, you know we haven't really done what he suggested. 33:37.797 --> 33:45.183 No, we've gone basically for exit music for a film, like a closing film theme that never was, you know what I mean? 33:45.203 --> 33:49.006 For films, the classic example being Men in Black, of course. 33:49.066 --> 33:50.767 Here come the men in black. 33:50.847 --> 33:52.328 Will Smith is the king of the exit music. 33:52.348 --> 33:59.254 The classic example, what was the first song written specifically for the closing credits of a film that then became a hit? 33:59.534 --> 34:00.995 There's a question for listeners. 34:01.035 --> 34:03.677 I feel as if it was Back to the Future or something like that, you know? 34:03.837 --> 34:05.379 Was Ghostbusters pre-Back to the Future? 34:06.039 --> 34:06.880 It was pretty bad. 34:06.900 --> 34:07.621 Yes. 34:07.761 --> 34:09.182 So anything earlier than Ghostbusters? 34:09.242 --> 34:10.663 If you can figure that one out, text 64046. 34:10.904 --> 34:14.647 We're trying to be an interesting factoid. 34:14.687 --> 34:15.888 Yeah, that would be an interesting factoid. 34:16.108 --> 34:23.395 So basically, we have had to come up with songs for films that probably should never have had them. 34:24.615 --> 34:46.525 and quite rightly didn't and sort of inappropriate films you know inappropriate music for films people immediately suggested things like Schindler's List that kind of thing because Schindler's List is the film that jumps to mind that is the most serious film of all time isn't it like if you want if you want an example of a film that is not to be laughed at or taken lightly people immediately think of Schindler's List as a film that's low on laughs 34:48.306 --> 34:52.692 Another good example would be, what was the one with Jodie Foster, the horrific rape one? 34:53.473 --> 34:54.734 The accused. 34:55.155 --> 34:58.118 So we got these kind of suggestions through, but we haven't gone quite there. 34:58.138 --> 35:04.887 The accused is a good example of, you know, a tricky clue to give someone this Christmas over a game of charade. 35:06.348 --> 35:10.532 Yeah, that would be fun with your Nana acting out the accused. 35:11.694 --> 35:13.055 But we haven't gone that direction. 35:13.195 --> 35:14.096 You'll be glad to hear. 35:14.716 --> 35:15.457 Who wants to start? 35:15.537 --> 35:16.818 I think I started last week. 35:16.858 --> 35:17.699 I want to go second. 35:17.819 --> 35:18.840 OK, OK. 35:19.401 --> 35:21.082 You're getting into the whole psychology of it. 35:21.142 --> 35:21.303 Yeah. 35:21.343 --> 35:21.543 Yeah. 35:21.943 --> 35:26.607 Alright, well this is my one, and listeners, we'd very much like you to vote for your favourite ones. 35:26.847 --> 35:34.014 Text 64046 or email adamandjoe.6musicatpbc.co.uk and vote for either my one or Adam's. 35:34.935 --> 35:36.896 Here's my one, this is for the film The Shining. 35:37.517 --> 35:42.902 And this was suggested by GP, aka Giles Pocklington, who emailed us. 35:43.722 --> 35:54.605 So you have to and this is a kind of a kind of a Joe Cocker and Jennifer warns style, you know They did the theme tune for for officer and a gentleman So it's that kind of thing. 35:54.665 --> 35:55.606 It's kind of rousing. 35:55.946 --> 35:59.587 I had a bit of a cold during the week So I've had to go throaty on it 35:59.887 --> 36:00.807 I went throaty as well. 36:00.867 --> 36:02.328 I had the same sort of thing, yeah. 36:02.988 --> 36:03.888 So picture this. 36:04.249 --> 36:05.089 You're in the cinema. 36:05.989 --> 36:07.209 Are you ready, Jude?

39:02.163 --> 39:02.683 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 39:02.703 --> 39:04.004 But that's the direction I was heading. 39:04.024 --> 39:09.867 And I thought, and because no one has really seen Chindebein, I stayed away from that one. 39:10.367 --> 39:15.050 And I went for another film that I hadn't seen, and that maybe a lot of listeners might not have seen. 39:15.090 --> 39:15.370 Nice choice. 39:15.971 --> 39:17.812 But I decided, but I watched it, right? 39:17.832 --> 39:21.414 So I started writing the song before I'd seen it, and then I watched it, The Hours. 39:22.054 --> 39:23.335 with Meryl Streep. 39:23.455 --> 39:24.716 This is the Virginia Woolf film. 39:24.836 --> 39:25.857 The Virginia Woolf film. 39:25.897 --> 39:27.239 Directed by Billy Elliot, man. 39:27.459 --> 39:27.899 Exactly. 39:27.939 --> 39:28.740 Stephen Daldry. 39:28.820 --> 39:31.042 Yeah, with Nicole Kidman with a plastic nose. 39:31.122 --> 39:32.023 She won an Oscar. 39:32.323 --> 39:33.164 I tried to watch it. 39:33.224 --> 39:38.028 I switched it off after she, the very first scene, is her walking into a river and drowning. 39:38.208 --> 39:38.648 Exactly. 39:38.668 --> 39:39.969 Because that's what Virginia Woolf did. 39:40.770 --> 39:41.231 You know what?

46:35.281 --> 46:39.842 You know, sort of it's hard to pin down, but here's one that illustrates it brilliantly. 46:39.882 --> 46:42.663 This has come in from, hey, guess who it's coming from? 46:42.943 --> 46:43.444 Gordon Brown. 46:43.664 --> 46:44.264 Daniel Pate. 46:44.924 --> 46:45.865 Daniel Pate. 46:45.885 --> 46:46.826 Dan Pate again. 46:46.866 --> 46:48.787 Sorry, making that awful joke about your name. 46:48.827 --> 46:49.808 Daniel Pate over again. 46:50.209 --> 46:57.155 He says, Hi Adam and Joe, it makes me happy when the Windows startup chime happens to be in the same key as the song I'm listening to. 46:57.195 --> 46:57.975 Yeah, that is nice. 46:57.995 --> 47:04.241 That opens a whole can of lovely worms about just serendipitous musical or rhythmical things. 47:04.501 --> 47:08.845 Like I love it when I'm in the car and listening to music and the tick of the indicator. 47:09.605 --> 47:11.026 fits with the rhythm of the record. 47:11.427 --> 47:13.348 It can also happen with the windscreen wipers. 47:13.748 --> 47:15.489 They often sort of fall in and out of rhythm. 47:15.509 --> 47:15.949 That's right. 47:15.969 --> 47:21.593 But for those several bars where they're in perfect synchronicity with the music, oh, that's exactly what we're talking about. 47:21.613 --> 47:21.973 It's good. 47:22.013 --> 47:27.797 And sometimes when you're listening to a track on your headphones, you're outside, and sirens or something will invade. 47:27.897 --> 47:28.497 They're in tune. 47:28.757 --> 47:31.679 And they're in tune, or they sound like a good sample. 47:31.939 --> 47:32.420 You know what I mean?

48:02.623 --> 48:05.785 Because you're sort of liberated from any feeling of kind of obligation. 48:05.945 --> 48:09.967 Yeah, because there's very much light near the end of the tunnel. 48:10.187 --> 48:10.827 But yeah, you're right. 48:10.867 --> 48:23.092 If it's sort of 10 minutes, if you've got to, you know, get to a particular time, a set time on a clock when you'll suddenly be freed from work or school or something, it can be, yeah, the minutes leading up to that can be really nice. 48:23.332 --> 48:23.612 Yeah. 48:24.052 --> 48:24.652 Extra nice. 48:24.853 --> 48:25.033 Yeah. 48:25.493 --> 48:25.733 Yeah. 48:26.153 --> 48:26.394 Yeah?
