six music non-stop Glastonbury non-stop this is bbc six music this is the voice of the big british castle coming live from the glastonbury yesternoon your host tonight is dr baculis and corny corns but for paperwork they know as adam and joe just say
Which we'd hear today All that no one wants to take away
Funboy 3 there with the Lunatics have taken over the Asylum.
Well, it's the Funboy 2 in the BBC Outside broadcast van right now, folks.
I'm Adam.
Hey, I'm Joe.
I don't like the insinuative qualities of that first choice of our first record for our big return.
Inferring that we're... Inferring we're lunatics.
Right, yeah.
But they're quite organised lunatics.
Hey man!
Hey!
Good to see you!
Good to see you.
Haven't been on the air with Joe for six months?
More?
Seven months, maybe?
I know.
Since before Christmas 2010, I basically haven't seen you.
You've been working on your film.
Yep, yep, yep, yep.
And you're in the edit right now, is that right?
Yeah, we're cutting at the moment.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, cutting, scratching.
And it's weird because you finished principal photography.
When I said yeah, yeah, yeah, I like that.
I was like a joke.
I just want to make that clear.
I haven't started talking like that now.
You hang out with Prince William too soon.
You love Prince William.
So what I'm a little bit confused about, right, with this whole film that you've done and everything, is when do we shoot my stuff?
uh later with Jules Holland a lot later because like i understood that principal photography had finished no it's part of a new process it's like 3d it's like a step forward from 3d but it means there's certain elements you don't actually film because i've got it like for years sure years later
See because I assumed like you know cuz you're making a film I assumed I'd have quite a big part Yeah in the film cuz I'm an actor.
I don't know if you know I was in the persuasionists One a couple of BAFTAs and no I saw that yeah, so I was just a little confused when
But it's all happening later.
It's later, yeah.
So just hang on in there.
Thanks, man.
But it's great to be back, listeners.
Thanks for tuning in to our special sunset show, the first of three shows coming to you live from Glastonbury, which is a big festival in Somerset.
Massive festival, fifth time I've been here, fourth time for Cornballs.
And it's probably the most exciting one so far, I would say, because the atmosphere is electric out there.
I'm sure if you've been listening to coverage on Six Music this afternoon, you will have heard all the DJs commenting on the fact that it's unusually rammed out there.
A lot of semi-naked, attractive young people wandering around with not enough sun protection on.
It's really baking hot.
It's going to get hotter and hotter throughout the weekend.
How are you smelling?
I'm smelling all right, but I'm a little bit sticky from suntan lotion.
I don't like the process of putting that stuff on.
Do you not?
Do you use the squirt or the spread?
I love the spread.
The spread?
Are we still talking about suntan lotion?
I like to spray.
You like to spray?
Yeah.
I like a thin mist.
I like to spray the mist in the air and then walk into it.
I'm thinking of moistening my bedsheets tonight with suntan lotion so I don't have to apply it in the morning.
That's a good idea.
I just, every time I rolled over in bed, it would just distribute itself around my cracks and nannies.
That's how I do it with my face.
I squirt a lot of it into the pillow and then rub my face in the pillow.
That's the best way to do it.
It saves time.
If I don't have a pillow, I'll do it with a woman.
Forgive us for stating the obvious.
Do what?
You've never done that?
Like, if a woman is too busy to actually apply the suntan lotion to you, you just pour it on her and then rub yourself on her.
It works either way, right?
It doesn't have to be a man with a woman.
Hey, listeners, serious warning before we go any further.
This programme contains weak language from the outset, as well as lasers, strobes and explicit full frontal nudity.
So you should be warned.
You can also, uh, watch us, if you want to, at bbc.co.uk forward slash Glastonbury.
There are three quite intimidating full-colour webcams here that Adam and I aren't particularly happy about.
Just waving to the webcams now.
You know, this is supposed to be radio.
You're not supposed to be able to see what we actually look like.
Exactly.
Where's my hat, mate?
James, could you pass my hat off?
James, mate.
I bought a new hat.
Pass his hat.
It's James Mates.
Look, can you see my hat, webcam viewers?
I bought that.
It's like a cowboy hat, Australian style cowboy hat that I bought in the main drag.
Because the sun was beating down so heavily on my face and head.
And I bought it and it's got, it's been sort of pre-burnt.
Singed.
As if I'd been running through the bush while it was on fire, chasing dingoes.
Chasing the dingoes?
Yes, the dingoes had got away and I had to run through, but suddenly the bush caught on fire.
I had my hat, hatty on, and it got a little singed.
You can text us too on 64046.
Texts are charged at your standard message rate.
We've got all sorts of great music coming up, including lots of live stuff from today.
And we'll start with a little chunk of live stuff from Phoenix.
What's this track called?
This one is called... I was going to say Asti Spumante.
Here's Phoenix.
It's down the fall when I need it.
Requesting this blade is better in the middle of the night.
That is Phoenix.
They are from France, a French band.
I don't know if you know.
They don't sing with a French accent, though, which I find a little bit disappointing.
Do you know what I mean?
It is disappointing, isn't it?
You expect the French to be heavily French at all times.
What's the point in being French if you don't really put your French-ness out there up front?
If you don't use your outrageous French accent and everything.
Same if you're Australian.
Available opportunity.
Now we're just working our way through a couple of technical issues here in the van.
So folks, we should launch a little text donation for this Glastonbury show.
Why not?
Yeah, it'd be a good chance to hear that jingle after a long time.
We haven't heard that jingle for a while, have we?
That jingles like some kind of Manchurian candidate, you know, uh, activation code for members of Black Squadron out there, for instance.
A sort of outlaw being, yes, yes.
Exactly.
It'll snap everybody back into the swing of things.
Me, for a start.
Let's fire it off, then.
Text the nation.
Text, text, text, text the nation.
What if I don't want to?
Text the nation.
But I'm using email.
Is that a problem?
It doesn't matter, text!
So it's very sunny here, listeners.
I don't know whether anyone's made that clear.
Any other DJs have made it clear that it's very, very sunny here.
And every year, everyone moans about the rain.
Everyone's weather-obsessed.
Finally, after what?
10 years?
11 years?
Something like that.
It's sort of like the perfect Glastonbury.
It's going to be sunny for the whole weekend.
And people kind of don't know what to do.
It's as if it's raining very heavily.
Like, when it's raining heavily, shelter is at premium.
Is that the right way to push it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Now shade is the thing that everyone's desperate to get into.
Exactly, and it's unbelievably hot everywhere you go, and there's no real place to escape from it.
I'm surprised that not more people have got paddling pools.
I only saw one.
Are you?
Yeah.
Would you bring a paddling pool?
Sure, I was considering... How would you fill it up?
uh well you bring the water obviously you bring the gallons and gallons of water yeah you'd have to drive a truck yeah or do you just run a hose from your house exactly a long hose a really long hose but listen here's the point of text the nation we are worried that a lot of people over the weekend are going to get horribly sunburnt yeah
There's going to be a lot of lobster-type people going around.
And we were sort of remembering our childhood and the way attitudes to sun protection have changed.
Because back when we were kiddies, people really didn't care.
And I remember as a kid, after going on a holiday in France, having a competition to see who could peel off the biggest bits of skin.
I know, that's unbelievable.
We used to have fun.
That would be the badge of pride when you got back from a summer holiday.
You'd get all excited because it's a bit depressing getting back, but then the fun part is getting to peel off like a foot of skin from your forearm.
It's a terrible thing and you shouldn't do it.
It's medically wrong and very dangerous, but it used to be sort of acceptable.
So we want to hear your sunburn horror stories.
Nothing too awful, right?
Or would that be all right?
What like resulting in death?
That would be probably too awful.
That would be a bit of a downer.
What's yours?
I mean, have you burned yourself badly?
I got horrible sunstroke in Thailand once and I nearly died.
I feel like I nearly died.
My girlfriend saved me with a salty saline solution.
I don't want to know about that.
It can be horrific, I mean, and the thing is you've got to be so careful in the sun, one moment you're absolutely fine, the next minute you get that slightly nauseated feeling, and then it stays with you for ages when you're badly sunburned.
There's nothing, there's no kind of comparable feeling to it, apart from being unbelievably drunk and having had a bolder drop on your head.
Yeah, it's a recipe for disaster.
Drink.
Great bands.
No shade.
No shame.
That's the big missing component of the whole thing, you know, if you remove shame from the equation.
If you're ashamed of your body, you don't expose so much, right?
Yeah.
It's people who are prepared to get their boobs out.
Men and women.
And there are a lot of them out there.
Yeah.
So we'd like to hear any of your sun-related horror stories or fun stories.
What kind of fun stories would they have?
I don't know.
Maybe some people put stencils on their bodies and tan attractive patterns.
Do they?
Some people actually put olive oil on their bodies so they can cook themselves up nice and brown.
Yeah, like lard and stuff, as if they were a big turkey.
Mark and lard.
He does that.
He loves to do it.
Does he?
Based himself.
Really?
Yeah, let's play some more music right now.
Hang on, we'd better give people the number.
The text number is 64046 for Text the Nation.
We're getting back into the swing of things, slowly, listeners.
So, you know, don't worry if your stories are a little bit protoplasmic.
Yeah.
What does that mean?
Well, it's emergent.
Emergent, yeah, it's like the goo that formed the universe, that formed life on Earth.
Why are you asking me?
Why on Earth would you ask me what protoplasmic means?
I don't even know that it exists as a word.
Of course it does, but... 64046.
Get your texts into the nation.
It's important.
Mm-hmm.
Here's some music right now.
This is Kelly.
Kelly from Block Party.
Kelly.
Well, it spells it K-E-L-E.
Kelly.
Kelly, television.
Kelly.
He's from Block Party.
He's going it alone.
And this track is called The Other Side.
Lord, why can't you hear me?
I'm calling out your name, yeah It's been so long since I heard your voice It's driving me insane, yeah It's driving me insane, yeah It's driving me insane
I am turning to the man I used to be I am turning to the man I used to be
It's driving me insane.
The lie that wasn't me Has flowed through my fingers A paper out of my hole But still he's just not in me I am turning to the man I used to be I am turning to the man I used to be
It's driving me insane It's driving me insane It's driving me insane

But then he kicks like a horse There's a tiny cigarette case And the rest he can keep And the rest he can keep And the rest he can keep There's a hole in my neighbour Hold down with chocolate I cannot help
I'm not humble
There's this whispering of jokers doing flesh by the pound To the chorus of surprises from the little town horse Though we twist in karaoke at the energy lounge And I bring you feather roses but it gives you no good And it gives me no good And it gives you no good There's a hole in my neighbour
Of late I cannot help but fall There's a hole in my neighbourhood down Which of late I cannot help but fall
That's elbow with grounds for divorce.
It's one of my favorite cocktails there.
It's from the soundtrack of Kramer vs. Kramer.
Is it really?
It's an interesting fact.
Speaking of facts, I've got some remarkable facts about one of the bands who have just played at this year's Glastonbury Festival.
That's just what this show needs, some hardcore facts.
Well, it's what people expect from us, isn't it?
A little bit of structure, a bit of integrity.
So here's a little band facts jingle for you.
Glastonbury band facts.
That sets the right tone, I think.
It really does.
It lifts.
It really sounds authoritative.
Yeah.
And it sort of really pushes home the point that what we're about to hear is factual.
Exactly.
And also, I was trying to do some kind of branding the way that they would on Six Music and other Groovy Stations.
Good try.
Thanks.
What?
Nice try.
Here we go.
Here's our first selection of band facts this evening, ladies and gentlemen.
This is band facts about Vampire Weekend.
I'm scared.
They played a brilliant set today.
They did.
Did you enjoy it?
He's a good looking fellow, the lead singer there.
They were on the pyramid stage a couple of hours ago or an hour or so ago.
Band fact.
number one about Vampire Weekend.
Did you know that each one of the four members of Vampire Weekend attended Harvard, Oxford and De Montfort University?
Where they all graduated with first-class honours in chemistry, maths, grooving and tennis.
Did they attend all those places simultaneously?
Simultaneously.
That's where they met.
They had to shuttle between them.
Between lectures.
Exactly.
They're highly educated.
They really are.
Over educated.
Some, you know, they're the eggheads of the indie rock world.
Being over educated can be an obstacle if you're creative.
Sometime, especially in rock.
You know that phrase paralysis by analysis?
No.
You think about stuff too much, sometimes it blocks your tubes.
That's happened to me all the time.
You're too clever.
You want to dumb yourself down.
Which tubes are you talking about?
the brain tubes.
Watch a little BBC 3.
Here's another interesting fact about Vampire Weekend.
Lead singer Ezra Koenig is the son of Commander Koenig.
Who was the head of Moonbase Alpha?
No, he was the head of Moonbase Malpha.
I was going to say, Malpha.
What?
I wasn't going to say that.
It was a real moon base.
Yes.
It was the real moon base.
Oon base Malphur.
Yes.
Oon base Malphur was the real moon base that the one in the TV show was based on.
I'm talking about space 1999, which was based on Oon base Malphur.
Ezra Koenig's dad was like the head.
Here's another interesting fact about Vampire Weekend, you may not know.
I think we could talk more about the Oon.
Oon base.
Trip to the Oon.
Did you know that Vampire Weekend drummer Monty McGuire Maplethorpe, is that his real name?
I think so, collects women.
Really?
Yeah, so far, he has three.
Where does he keep them?
Oh, they follow him.
Are they alive?
They're alright?
Yeah, they're all fine.
It's not in a sort of a Buffalo Bill kind of a way.
Listen, man, he wouldn't collect women if they were just dead.
That's not such a startling fact.
I mean, he's a rock star.
Most of them are in it for women.
Yeah, that's true.
But he's got three.
That's good, man.
I mean, that's more than most people.
Do they get on together?
No.
They have to be kept apart.
They get on very badly, they're very jealous of each other, they're not happy with the situation.
It's really changing my attitude.
But Monty loves to collect women, so once he, you know, he wants to have them around, he keeps them in cabinets.
Peter Gate, did you know, final Vampire Weekend band fact?
I did know this.
Peter Gabriel attends every show that the band play, and he points to himself when they mention his name in the song Cape Cod Kwasa Kwasa.
Do you know that song?
No.
It feels so unnatural!
Peter Gabriel too!
You know, they mention his name.
He goes to every show.
Really?
Just to get a little ego hit.
Right.
And he pops his head above the crowd.
In the wings or in the crowd?
Right in the middle of the crowd.
Is he?
And he points at himself like, they're singing about me!
If he can't make it to a show, the band are legally obliged to replace his name with that of Terry Alderton.
I feel so unnatural.
Dereology too.
See there?
He can't make it in there.
Really?
He's busy.
Is he?
Yeah.
Well, those were astonishing facts.
Well done.
Where do you get your facts?
I look them up.
On the internet?
Yeah.
Or do you go to the British Library?
Some of them I start off on the internet and then I go to verify them at the British Library.
At the British Library.
Well done.
Thank goodness.
They're verified as well by independent authorities.
Yep.
Thanks.
We'll have some more later on in the programme.
Good stuff.
We're going to have a little bit of music.
We're Adam and Joe, by the way.
This is BBC Six music coming to you live from the Glastonbury... Gaston... What is it called?
It's called Glastonbury, Joe.
The Glastonbury Festival 2010.
Now, there was a fellow playing earlier at the park stage, which is the nicest.
And most people agree that it's the nicest stage.
You did a very camp thing with your shoulder when you said... What did I do?
Nicest.
Like... Yeah.
Yeah.
Like the Guy in Beverly Hills Cop.
Most people, they agree, it's a nicer stage.
Nice.
You want a little lemon to his face?
It's a nice stage.
Look at that.
Oh, who's that guy on the stage?
Steve Masson.
It is a lovely stage though, isn't it?
It's sort of removed from the Hurley Burley and Brujah.
It's peaceful and placid.
I like Brujah.
It's a little bit cooler.
In fact, we're going to play the track that Adam was talking about after the news because the news is more important than trivial music.
Did I say who we're going to play, though, after the news?
It's going to be Steve Mahon.
Cool.
Steve Mahon and his giant Mahon.
Stay tuned.
He's going to be playing an old beater band track, but first, here is the news.
Cameron once trips out of Afghanistan by 2015.
Biggest jewellery heist man convicted and chemical leak in just more than 20.
BBC News at 830 I'm Harvey Cook.
The Prime Minister says he wants UK troops out of Afghanistan within five years.
David Cameron made the comments in Canada.
He's there for the G8 and G20 summits.
Mr Cameron issued a whole talks with the US President Barack Obama tomorrow.
Our defence correspondent is Jonathan Beale.
It's the most definitive he's been on this issue so far.
In the election campaign he did say he wanted to start bringing back troops
within the next parliament if he was Prime Minister.
This is essentially sounding like he wants to bring all the troops back within that five-year period.
The four British soldiers who died when their armoured vehicle crashed into a canal in Afghanistan on Wednesday have been named Private Alex Isaac, Private Douglas Halliday and Colour Sergeant Martin Horton were from 1st Battalion, the Mercian Regiment.
Lance Corporal David Ramson was from 1st Battalion, the Yorkshire Regiment.
A man's been convicted of taking part in the UK's biggest jewellery robbery.
A man, Kasai, who is 25, forced a shop worker at Graff Diamonds in central London to hand over gems valued at £40 million last August.
The jury at Woolwich Crown Court will continue considering verdicts on six other defenders on Monday.
Robert Reid from Insura's Hiscox says it's unlikely the diamonds will ever be found.
Never say never, but I mean, the likelihood is that it's gone.
The main items have been cut.
As each week goes on and month goes on, the jewellery is sort of spreading out into the underworld before it gets reintroduced into the open market.
Nearly 30 people have had medical treatment after a chemical leak at a frozen food warehouse in Staffordshire.
It's believed that ammonia escaped from pipework in a refrigeration unit at the site in Tamworth.
Portugal have joined Brazil in the last 16 of the World Cup after the two teams played out a goalless draw.
Ivory Coast go out despite beating North Korea 3-0 in tonight's final group game.
Spain are 2-0 up against Chile and still goalless between Switzerland and Honduras at Wimbledon.
The American John Isner, who won the longest match in tennis history yesterday, has been knocked out of the men's singles.
He lost in straight sets to Timo de Baca from the Netherlands.
And that's The BBC News, I'm back with more at 9.30.
BBC Six Music.
Non-stop.
Glastonbury.
We try to get close There is always something that I'm thinking about
I don't have iPhone.
If you like what you see, you can download in store We can find ways to spend what you know I can be the actress, you should be talented
Wow, Steve Mason's really switched up his style.
He's sounding much more upbeat these days.
He's sounding a lot like M.I.A.
Yeah, that was the new one from M.I.A.
Obviously, that was XXXO.
We're going to play Steve Mason in a couple of songs time, but right now we are crossing live.
to Rodrigo, our man on the spot, just at the park stage, where a couple of special guests have just taken the stage.
There's been rumours all weekend about, well, it's not the weekend yet, it's just Friday, but all week there have been rumours about who the special guests this weekend will be.
A lot of people were saying Bowie at one stage.
I was, I was, I was.
Surprise!
But it's, I don't think it is Bowie.
Rodrigo, are you there?
Yes, I am.
Hello.
How you doing?
Hello, Rodrigo.
Hi there.
Describe to us what you can see.
I can see a man with a white t-shirt and a bandana playing on a piano.
I believe his name is Tom York and the track's called The Eraser.
Wow, when you described him there, I thought it was Axl Rose.
And I was really excited.
Anyway, Tom York, that's okay.
Who's up there with him, Rodrigo?
Is he on his own?
He's on his own right now, but I have to say there's a couple of guitars lying about in the background that look like they're probably going to get used.
The Proclaimers.
Well, I heard a rumor that Johnny Greenwood is going to be stepping up on stage with Tom and they're going to be rattling through a few Radiohead numbers.
He just started with a track from The Eraser there, his solo album.
But yeah, there's going to be some Radiohead hits flying around the parks now.
Rodrigo, what was the response there when a Yorkie bar came out onto the stage?
The Yorkie bar, I haven't heard of that one.
Incredible, actually.
I mean, the crowd was slowly building up, but now the park sort of field is completely full.
I can even see Ed O'Brien and Nigel Godrich, of course, floating about.
They're all watching.
Everyone's kind of standing, stock's still kind of in shock.
Yeah.
Sexy shock.
And did people know was the buzz around the festival site that it was going to be Tom York or people genuinely had no clue?
There was definitely a bit of talk around today.
But I did see a lot of excitable people kind of running over here asking who's the special guest, who's the special guest.
So I think it was just rumours rather than fact.
Was it children going, who's the special guest?
Who's the best?
I'm the special guest.
Just with their dad, no.
What are you talking about?
I don't know what I'm talking about!
Rodrigo and I are very confused.
I got tired.
Listen Rodrigo, this is a major event.
Do you think it would be acceptable?
Because I'd like to see this.
Would it be alright for 6 Music just to drop off air while we came and joined you and watch?
Please do, yeah, come and watch.
Is that okay?
How long would it take us to run over to the park stage from where we are?
About 20 minutes, yeah, fine.
At the moment, we are broadcasting from an OB van just next to the pyramid stage in the centre of Glastonbury.
But yeah, it would take at least 20 minutes, I think, to run over to the park.
And is the castle recording this performance?
No!
No, we're not sure.
Negotiations, it's impromptu.
It's not that easy.
You can't just record and broadcast whatever you want.
You can't just do that with the special guests.
It's a special thing only for people who are here.
Maybe.
Maybe not.
Anyway, for fans of Yorkminster right now, here's a track from his album, The Eraser, and this is the title track.
Please excuse me but I've got to ask I only be nice because you want something My fairy tale, I'm a princess Be careful how you respond
But yes, it's all I do, yes I am only being nice Because I am so alone
Try to learn
Tomosexual there.
He overshot there.
You reckon?
Yeah, he went on singing after the music had stopped.
That's embarrassing, isn't it?
You would have thought he'd figure that out.
Come on, Tom, pull your socks up.
It's all going a little bit 8-bit there at the end, isn't it?
Some of it was quite badly distorted.
I think some of the phono cables weren't in properly.
What the hell?
It can often happen.
It's an old amp.
Because it just sounded very badly compressed.
It did.
Try using the WAV format.
That's a good high quality format.
It takes up more space on the hard drive, sure.
I give that a what?
What the?
You do the math.
If you're going to do everything on MP4, it's going to sound like that.
mate.
That's just a little tip for you.
Hey folks, you're listening to Adam and Joe.
We're very delighted to be back together covering the Glastonbury Festival.
I mean, we're not exactly covering it, we're just here and delighted to be here for 6 Music.
You can email us at adamandjo.6music at bbc.co.uk.
You can watch us, you can actually see our stupid faces.
You don't want to do that though.
I know, I keep forgetting that this is a possible thing that people can do and I was just picking my nose luxuriantly during the song of a couple of
minutes back.
But if you do want to watch us, you can go to bbc.co.uk slash Glastonbury.
You can text us, 64046.
You can see other stuff from around the site on that address as well.
You don't have to just look at our faces.
No.
You can see, can they see bands performing?
You can see all sorts of
And there's other stuff on the internet as well.
Yeah.
I mean, there's blogs, you can shop on there.
Really?
Yeah, you can see pictures of men and women, animals, everything is on there.
You can buy a house, you can do like a cartoon.
Do a cartoon?
Yeah.
Not sure you can do a cartoon.
Yeah, you can.
Hey, listen, let's have some of your text the nations.
Could we have the jingle, please, James?
Thank you.
Text-a-nation!
Text, text, text!
Text-a-nation!
What if I don't want to?
Text-a-nation!
But I'm using email.
Is that a problem?
It doesn't matter, text!
Now, if you're new to Adam and Mai's show, don't go thinking that Text the Nation is just another one of those segments where you just, like, we give you a premise and you text in ideas.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Other radio shows, loads of other radio shows.
Everybody does that.
Why would we just do exactly what everyone else does?
Exactly.
And give it a fancy pants self-aggrandizing name.
If we did that, it would hardly be the nation's favorite feature, would it?
Exactly.
Which this is.
In what way is this not that?
No, I'm saying that this is the... Oh, I see.
Well, it's different because you're reading them.
And because it's of national importance.
Exactly.
So we were asking... It was a fairly vague one as well.
We were asking about... It's very specific.
It's sunburn horror.
Sun horror.
The horror of the sun.
It's a beautiful life-giving orb, but it's also a huge ball of satanic fury looming in the sky above us.
You know who would know about all this, mate?
Who, mate?
Empire of the sun.
They know all about that.
Yeah, they're playing later on.
Yeah, da da da.
Just read some of the things.
Okay, so we were asking you about your terrible sunburn trauma.
Here is one.
Oh no.
This person hasn't put their name there.
Just make a name up.
Terry Turnips.
He says, I burnt my nose once on holiday.
It peeled off in one piece.
And so I posted it to my mum.
It was amazing.
The whole nose?
No, I assume just a perfect sort of sculptural form of the nose.
But then he put it in the post to his mum.
What the heck is this?
That's a loving thing for a son to do.
You reckon every mum dreams of receiving a scab from their son?
It wasn't a scab, it was a nose-shaped piece of skin.
A shard of skin?
I think that's beautiful and touching.
nose-shaped.
Oh I see, but if it was, if it had sort of hardened to the extent that he could remove the whole thing, like a moulded... I doubt it had hardened, it was sort of like a beautiful... I'm imagining a kind of Groucho Marx plastic nose being plucked off now, with a moustache beneath.
Yeah, you could attach it to a pair of plastic sunglasses.
Okay, next one.
When I got badly sunburned in Spain, my mum put me in a bath of natural strawberry yoghurt.
I repeat, a bath of natural strawberry yoghurt.
As she had inverted commas red somewhere, that that's the best way to treat it.
It took 30 plus pots.
wow that's cool don't you think really cool delicious tasty and a lovely soothing balm i don't like yogurt though would you you'd be happy with that you don't have to eat it no but you wouldn't want to lie in it you don't want to lie in a substance that you don't like uh that's a whole other subject what do you think you might
Why not?
You're not tasting it just because you don't like the taste of it.
You don't want to lie in it.
Why would you want to lie in something you've... I'd be perfectly happy.
I hate marzipan.
I'd be perfectly happy to have a bath of marzipan.
It's not practical anyway.
It's not the kind of substance that you could bathe in.
I don't want to bathe in yogurt.
Okay.
What?
Yeah.
What would it say?
Try using sun cream.
Yeah.
That would be the message direct from the sun.
So if you've got better stories than that, we're only going to read out the most extraordinary and amazing stories.
Please don't lie.
That would be betraying the nation.
Do text us on the text number which is 64046 and we'll have some more text the nations in a little bit.
Now, back to Steve Mason playing earlier on the park stage.
Here is Dr Baker.
BBC Six Music.
Last debris, 2010.
Live from the park stage.
Here's a very old one from the born of Kyle.
Before we in the mall you still yo
Don't you beg her for me in the morning And if the mother, she couldn't make it hard She'd never take a lesson outside his head Don't you beg her for me in the morning He was a busy man, he couldn't understand Tried to reach him again, to plead with him Please come, please come, please come Please come, please come, please come
See me lost inside You will see me lost how high See me lost inside You will see me lost how high See me lost inside You will see me lost how high See me lost inside You will see me lost how high
Dr. Baker phoned me again later that day Terry cried and he really sounded out Wife was dead and his dog was dead And misery planned inside was dead I tried to reason with him, I tried singing He said no but you will never listen I tried again
Try it again, try it again, again, again, again, again, again, again, I try, I try
But see me lost inside You will see me lost outside You will see me lost outside You will see me lost outside You will see me lost outside You will see me lost outside You will see me lost outside You will see me lost outside
I'm a highway, I'm a highway, I'm a highway,
Thank you.
BBC 6 Music.
Caris Matthews.
Man, the best thing about picking the music to play for the show is hearing something the night before and being blown away from it.
Knowing you can bring it in the following day and play it live on the radio.
Huey Morgan.
I find it everywhere.
One of my friend's record collections, you know, when I'm in their car, they got a song I haven't heard.
One of the old cassettes that you had when you were a kid and digging through them.
And find it too, as they used to make your heartbeat fast and then playing them for people.
Guy Garvey.
I pick my tunes by very carefully scouring the other presenter's record collections.
And then the listeners send in recommendations as well, so it makes me look dead good.
Kerris Matthews.
Huey Morgan.
And Guy Garvey.
Playing you the music they love.
Find out more about their shows.
Go to bbc.co.uk slash Six Music.
I'm a little bit closer near what I have to say.
Just like children sleep in
But there's a full moon rising Let's go dancing in
Because I'm still in love with you I wanna see you dance again Because I'm still in love with you I'm as far as you
I loved you with all my heart But now it's getting late
I'm still in love with you I wanna see you dance again Because I'm still in love
Oh, wait.
Was she a great big fat person?
That was Neil Young.
Ah, with Harvest Moon there from his album of the same name.
Adam and Joe here on BBC6 Music and where at Glastonbury.
Yes, Glastonbury is a major meeting of young people from around the country to discuss the topical issues of the day in song.
And to experiment with new fashions.
Yes.
New ways of thinking.
Various resolutions will be passed by the young people, resulting in new ways of dressing and new attitudes to society.
And all the stars are on site.
And the star quotient has been swollen.
If I can say that.
Really?
By the arrival of Gorillaz.
Yes, they've bought simply millions of people with them.
They are on the pyramid stage tonight, they're the big headliners.
It's like Starz on 45.
Who have they got with them?
They've got De La Soul.
They've apparently got Marky Smith.
This is sort of rumoured, is it?
Is it definite?
I think they're definite.
Rumours, De La Soul, Most Death.
They're in the house.
Is there apparently?
Lou Reed.
Sean Ryder.
Lou Reed.
Yeah, I mean he's got all the most cantankerous figures in rock on one stage at one at one time And that's sure can you imagine what the dressing room is like at the moment Brian Cantus is here Brian can he's strolling around he's punching Louis mr. Blobby Lou Reed's wandering around going what why is Brian can't staring at me I don't want Brian can't staring mama and then Marky Smith sort of comes though.
All right
It's like some kind of... I was just going to say something so stupid.
What were you going to say?
I was going to say it's like some kind of Hanna-Babara cartoon.
Babara?
What were they called?
Babara?
Babara.
But then of course I realised they are a cartoon band, so it was a completely self-negating comment.
They're playing down the cartoon element though, I think.
Yeah.
Like they don't have the... It's a bit like the Animal Olympics.
Where they walk on Animal Olympics.
Animal Olympics.
They don't walk on... It's not like that, it's like the Animal Olympics.
Some of the concerts they've done, they've got the Gores thing that they stretch across the stage.
Do you know?
Yeah, they do a 3G projection.
They project the paper, they come on stage.
Like Cliff Richard in Time.
Uh-huh.
That's right.
Is he the guy that pioneered all that?
He pioneered a lot of stuff.
Why isn't Cliff Richard one of the guests?
He's probably here as well.
He said I'd have more respect for Damon Allbran if he came.
We got a message from Damon Allbran which he left earlier on for six music.
Here it is.
Hello, this is Damon Albarn.
I seem to have lost or mislaid some of my confidence.
If anyone finds it, can they please hand it in to a member of staff?
I really need it for later on, thanks.
That's a shame, isn't it?
You know, usually when he's got his confidence, he's more perky than that.
Right.
Because you were thinking, I didn't know he spoke like that, right?
Well, it's based on some profound observation about Albarn that I don't understand.
Does his confidence wax and wane?
No, it's not.
I need the facts!
Why are you asking me?
We'll have some more band facts later on, though.
That's exciting.
Isn't it?
Yes, it is.
Let's have some Bowie right now, OK?
You can't go wrong with a bit of David.
We'll play a Bowie track every night while we're here at Glastonbury.
There are rumours that he might turn up.
There are always rumours.
There are still rumours.
I mean, there are sort of surprise bands on the park stage, as we know, right?
every night of the weekend and lots of rumours always fly around.
Bowie last time he was here of course came by chopper.
Did he?
It was the sound of the rotor blades.
This year, the rumours are that he's actually being airlifted in by 40 remote control helicopters strapped to a suit.
Wow.
And he's just going to be lowered into the middle of the crowd.
I heard that he was tunneling up from the centre of the earth.
Really?
Where his base is.
Really?
Yeah.
And he was going to explode on a plume of volcanic goop.
I heard he was in the spaceship thing from the film The Core.
And it was being piloted by Hilary Swank.
That's what I heard.
Yeah.
So fingers crossed.
I mean, it sounds outlandish, but you never know.
The other thing I heard was that they had specially seeded a rain cloud so that it could hold a man.
Really?
And he's actually going to rain.
They changed the density of the cloud so that it will hold Bowie and then they will guide the cloud down.
He'll hurt himself when he lands, won't he?
No, no, because the cloud will come right down.
And then he'll come.
Well, it's exciting, isn't it?
Who knows whether any of that will happen?
I do.
It will.
Here's David right now.
This is Suffragette City.
And I get off the phone, I got to pay man I got to stay to my face They smell of like chicks, just put my spine out of place My school is insane My work's down the drain She's a total blam blam She said she had to squeeze it, gotcha And then she, I'll lean on them man Cause you can't afford to take it Back from some pregnant city
And all the stuff I can't sit here, will try to save, it's alright.
Don't be unkind, go away Hey man, I can't take you this time, no way Hey man, did you be?
Don't crash here There's only room for one Here she comes, here she comes All down leading on them hands Cuz you can't afford to take it Back from supper, get seated All down leading on them hands Cuz you ain't got time to check it You know the supper, get seated It's not a sight
Don't lean on me man, cause you ain't got time checking Don't lean on me man, cause you ain't got time checking Don't lean on me man, cause you ain't got time checking
Come back on supper dancing in Come back on supper dancing in Come on supper dancing in Come on supper dancing in
It was
That's David Bowie with Suffragette City, Adam and Joe here on BBC 6 Music, live from the Glastonbury Festival, 2010.
Happy 40th birthday Glastonbury Festival.
It's nice, it's a momentous year in many ways, not least because it's the 40th birthday of Glastonbury, but obviously because of the sport ball.
Yeah, you, everyone out there knows that me and Adam are big football fans, we love the footy, so this is a very exciting
Time of year for us.
We live for the game.
Football, the great game, the beautiful game, the lovely ball.
The gentleman's game.
Sport of kings.
We love the violence, which unfortunately there's no violence anymore really.
I was reading a thing in the paper that said that British fans have been extraordinarily well behaved in South Africa and of course that's a brilliant brilliant thing.
And, you know, it's not just great that there's all the sport ball going on.
Also, it's in South Africa made.
So it's a nice opportunity to talk like that, like a real South African out of respect to the people of South Africa.
That is very respectful.
And if you don't do the accent, well, that's not respectful.
You know, you'd expect the same if they came to this country, wouldn't you?
Did you do the accent?
I don't think I can even engage with that accent.
So have you been watching all the games and getting all excited?
I've tried to avoid it.
What?
I've tried to avoid it.
Because too excited?
Well, I've been working, but in central London, so it's hard because a huge cheers go up whenever anything happens.
So, you know, you get forced to check it out on YouTube.
But at the moment, so far it's been, oh, those have been the main cheers I've heard.
That's a little in-joke, I think.
Is it?
Yeah, because I think they've been doing badly.
Oh, who, England?
Yeah.
No, they've been doing all right.
Have they?
Yeah, they've done one bad one, and now they've done a good one.
Sure, I thought I heard they've done two bad ones.
No, they've done one bad one, where they've done the other one's one in their one.
Yeah.
Right?
And then they've done another one, but they've done a 1-0 one.
Oh, that was a good one.
So now they've got two.
Yay.
Right, James?
The other day.
That's good, man.
That's good.
Come on.
The first game was 1-0.
Wasn't it?
No, it was one all.
Only England scored the other one full on the other's behalf, right?
They put one in for them.
Yeah?
Yeah, he pushed it in with his technique.
Yeah, with his fist.
And then the other one, everyone thought they were going to go out and it was going to be a big, stinky-winky.
But in the end, they'd done all right.
They'd done a good one.
And they'd done one.
Have you watched any... So you haven't watched any of the coverage.
The other day, I turned the TV on about an hour before the game on Wednesday, the good one that they'd done.
And it was Gary Lineker was on there.
He does this sport program.
That's the big chant on the terraces.
What?
They'd done a good one.
You've done a good one.
You've done it in the gold.
I turned on the telly and there was Gary Lineacre, right?
And football progs now, it's like the news.
It's like they're covering the election or something.
It's very serious.
Dead serious.
And at one point he said, we're interrupting this programme to bring you some breaking news.
And then a news flash came on.
Yes.
And I was thinking, what the hell's going on?
And it was all in the BBC News graphics and stuff, and there was a lady saying, an extremely strong virus has broken out.
At this point, I'm thinking, this is real.
It's outbreak.
What's happening?
She says symptoms include quickening of the pulse, a rise in temperature and stress levels, and can result in outbreaks of rage.
It's being called England fever.
and then they had pictures of flags and I was totally suckered into it.
No.
Yeah, and then they cut back to the studio and Gary said, I think I've got that.
Gary.
And then they had this thing, like they had a comment from an old football manager, I don't know who it was, like Ron Penalties or whatever, and they'd shot him in a, like in the olden days, presumably they would have just cut to a studio with like a picture of a ball behind him and he would have said, yeah, the team's doing well, but they need to concentrate on the corners and polish their studs.
But this time they had this guy and they shot him in a moodily lit
locker room or something and it was all flash camera work like he was framed to the extreme right of frame and stuff and there was lots of uh impressionistic wipes and uh fast cuts to like close-up shots of bags and football studs and whatever and there was piano music playing underneath all his bomo and words of wisdom and stuff.
Here's the kind of thing I'm talking about.
I accept that so far the football has gone badly.
Rooney hasn't been playing well, I don't know what his problem is, but I would say to him this, come on Wayne, kick the ball much better and make it go into the goals.
Don't, whatever you do, and I would say this to all the men in the England football gang squad, do not let the enemy team get the ball and kick it into our goal, because then they're gonna win the game.
We can do it.
But the football has got to go in their net, because that is netball.
That was the kind of thing there, it was dead serious, you know, it was very... That was inspirational.
It was inspirational.
Plus it taught me some basic facts about the game that maybe have been preventing me from enjoying it in the past.
Well, man, we are going to be broadcasting on Sunday night after England played Germany.
And it's the big game in all those years.
The fate of the nation is on the line.
Absolutely.
The Britain's pride, pork batter, broken Britain, stumbling along like a drunk old tramp, with one last chance.
And we can turn it all around.
team.
It's just one goalball net score.
Exactly.
One punch to the net.
Now here's some more music.
This is the Big Pink and this is a live track.
Who are the Big Pink?
I've never heard of the Big Pink.
I think they're from England and they play, you know, I don't know so I'm gonna make it up, they play rowdy electronic punk.
I don't think they do.
I think they play very infantile kind of baby music.
Plinky plonky.
Just they've got a big squeezy old synth.
And they sing songs.
What have you done?
I liked it.
It was fun.
Like that.
Slightly offbeat.
It's fun to eat peas.
Look at the peas on the fork.
Seriously, the audience for pop music is getting younger and younger and younger.
So this is a new thing that's happening.
A lot of music aimed really at the under fives.
You done a dribble, wipe it up now.
You done a dribble.
It's fun to eat, please.
It's bound.
Neither of us have heard this record, but it's bound to sound very like that.
At least one of those things have got to be in this track.
And James, prove us right.
Dominoes by the big pink.
As soon as I love her it's been too low Talk to future if you case me in Swallow my sugar, kiss it, need it, and low Puts can lie, then smash it, and he dreams alone He's gone tall
I float upon a T.O.
Swimming with the fear where we slowly drown.
Ending a never haunting melody.
As soon as I love her it's been too long.
And I really love breaking your heart with silver.
Alright mate, that's enough.
Calm it down.
You've had your fun.
Time to go to bed now.
Pack your stuff up and get off.
Clean up the front room.
Turn the telly off.
Pick up those cans.
Wipe the stuff off the stage there.
Listen, that was The Big Pink with Domino.
And you know, we've actually even played that record on our show in the past.
For some reason, I had no idea the band were called The Big Pink.
It sounds like not a good enough name.
Names, titles.
It's all very superficial.
Very ten years ago.
We're interested in the music, not the label.
So listen folks, earlier on we went for a very long wonder around the Glastonbury complex, field complex.
We like to, when we arrive in a new place, we like to find the highest ground and survey the area so that we know what lies ahead of us.
We were hoping Stevie Wonder might be there because he prefers a higher ground as well.
Here's what happened.
We're sat on the hill just above the park stage, and it's as if there are many cities beneath us.
We're looking at them from miles above the earth, but we're not.
It's just quite close.
They're just tents.
It's a sea of rebels.
There's revelry happening as far as we can see.
Oh, I think it's rebels.
Well, it's a sea of rebels in a way, because everyone here is rebellious in a way.
They hate the man.
Everyone here hates the man.
And there's a lot of individuality and a lot of expression of individuality.
There's a bit too much expression of individuality.
In ten years, what's it going to be like?
Because you would think that the expression of individuality has got as extreme as it can possibly get down there.
What more can they do to express their individuality?
Well, to illustrate Adam's point, on the way across the festival site, we saw a lady sitting on the ground.
She was a more senior lady.
She was nude, wasn't she?
I would say she was in her 70s.
She was very deeply tanned, wasn't she?
Yeah, she had skin like an old school satchel.
She was very lovely, but she was naked and reading a book.
We approached her from behind so we could only see her back.
She's a lovely person.
She was, I'm sure, a lovely person.
She looked really... She was lovely.
There's nothing unlovely about the body of an older person.
Certainly.
You know, it just takes you by surprise.
It just takes a bit of getting used to.
It's like suddenly being in that room in The Shining.
Yeah, she didn't come for us like that woman does.
And then we walked past another teepee and there was another woman inside the teepee, a similar age and a similar state of undress.
So hey, if you're, you know, in your later years and you feel like hanging around in the nude, this is the place to do it.
Without getting arrested.
We approached this old woman from behind, didn't we?
None of us dared look back.
Yeah, we walked past her and everyone was saying, don't look back, don't look back.
And we were all trying not to look back.
The pages of her book were wide open.
Yeah.
With all the words on display for all to read.
The leaves flapping in the wind.
Not sure it was a book that was suitable for adults, either.
Children, what?
What do you think she was reading?
I don't know.
Enid Blyton.
Steve Mason's about to come on stage.
I was going to say something so obscene.
That's why I could sense it.
So I stopped you.
I had quite a few ideas of what her book was called.
But going back to the whole notion of people expressing their individuality, like, what is the future other than getting naked and having tattoos and stuff?
Well, I suppose stripping away actual layers of skin so muscle is exposed.
Maybe some sort of cranial removal, like to have your brain exposed, like Ray Liotta in Silence of the Lambs.
That'd be pretty individual.
You wouldn't find anyone else with that around, that would be a statement, wouldn't it?
And what about building onto yourself extra limbs?
Extra limbs, yeah, absolutely, to be like some sort of Indian god, to have extra robotic limbs.
In fact, it's disappointing that nobody has.
I think it's, you know, everyone's been very conformist.
Because you could have surgical staples in your skull, you could staple all kinds of things.
It's the kind of thing that you expect to see in the mutoid waste zone Shangri-La area.
Because down there it's like end of year show at art school or something.
The Mutoid Waste Company, they've been around for decades and they're brilliant.
They have dinosaur trucks.
Yeah, they do, don't they?
They are pursuing the Mad Max ethic.
It's like Tank Girl, but now.
So listen, there's an extraordinary view here.
We can see tents as far as the eye can view.
We can see all of the main stages, which are going to be the scene of many great concerts.
Yeah, over the next few nights, yeah, concerts.
That's what the point of this thing is, isn't it?
Yeah.
What's your favourite concert that you're looking forward to most?
Royal Philharmonic.
Yeah.
I hope there's a bit of Sibelius.
It's hard to believe that there actually will be any concerts.
The atmosphere is so chilled and relaxed and sunny that the idea of people getting together in a big mass and jumping around seems too exhausting and hot and sweaty.
Well, during the hot hours of the day, everyone's just getting ready to let go tonight.
And I think when the sun goes down and we come on air, the place is going to be bedlam.
There's going to be so much pent-up energy, it's going to explode, it's going to be the most incredible Glastonbury ever, I predict.
What's the old lady, the nude lady going to start doing at that point?
Well, she'll go out into the throng.
And start rubbing... Yeah, she'll go into the most crowded mosh pit available.
Yeah.
Put her arms above her head, waggle her wiz and whiz around the place.
And before you know it, because let's face it, in a mosh pit situation, you can press yourself up against whoever you want.
Yeah.
I mean, it's a very conservative world at the moment, but this is a chance to really... It's not the kind of place that people are expecting to be treated with decorum, exactly.
And you couldn't reasonably sue someone for harassment afterwards, could you?
So that lady, she can go and really let it all hang out.
Yeah.
She can get intimate with people of all ages.
That's a good idea for perverts though, isn't it?
To go to a thing like this and just get absolutely... Because people can't really object.
We are at a thing like this.
We're here.
I know, but this is what I'm saying.
This could be a plan.
Get nude, go right into the middle of the crowd.
No one would know you were nude because you can't see anybody from below the head and shoulders, can you?
Exactly.
No one would know what was going on down there.
Listen, shall we play some more music now?
Let's play some more music now.
Okay, check this out.
Spare for days I scroll downtown, the red light plays Jump on bubble up, what's in store?
Love is the drug and I need to score Showing up, showing up, hit them run Boy meets girl, where the beat goes on
Can't you see, love is the drug
You can get the rest.
Oh, catch that butt.
Love is the dog I'm thinking of.
Oh, can't you see?
Love is the dog I'm gonna put in me.
Oh, get that butt.
Love is the dog I'm thinking of.
Oh, can't you see?
It's a bit much, isn't it?
Talking about drugs?
On a family show?
Hey, you know Devendra Benhart?
Bernhardt is around the festival site this weekend.
Ooh, with his voice singing his folksy songs.
We should get him in.
You guys could have a sing-off.
Yeah, that would be nice.
Speaking of which, we spent the whole of Glastonbury last year promising that you were going to sing Harvest Moon.
That's why we played it earlier on, to remind ourselves of that promise.
I just think that you guys are more excited about that than the listeners.
I mean, who would want that?
What if we could find someone else to play it and you could sing along and harmonize?
That's not much of an achievement.
That's just karaoke.
Yeah, but it's star karaoke.
No one wants to hear it.
A DJ singing a song.
Of course they do.
They love it.
Imagine if Mike Reed started singing away.
He did.
He had a successful musical career, didn't he?
Singing old rock and roll numbers and stuff.
And I, for one, jumped for joy every time he did so.
So how did you get to the Glastonbury Festival?
Because you arrived today, Joe.
I arrived yesterday.
Yes.
I was interested in an email I was CC'd on when we were talking about doing the show.
You had Adam, you were, and it was like talking about the arrangements to get down here, and you were very insistent that you were going to bring your bike.
Yeah.
It was part of your conditions, must bring bike, must be allowed to cycle on and off.
uh the site yes and that's true isn't it you you really wanted to do that this year have you done that i have done it i just noticed last year that actually the distance between where we're staying because we're not staying on site we're staying nearby in beautiful wells of course hot fuzz city
and it's really not very far away.
It's only about six miles or something.
And yet, at the end of the evening, when you wait for the curfew to be lifted, first of all, for the vehicles, because you can't leave immediately after the show is finished, even if you wanted to, which we don't want to hang around and have fun, but there's a curfew and after that's been lifted, then you get on the BBC bus, then it takes about an hour to actually get off the site, then it takes another hour to actually get into well, even though it's like five miles away or something.
So I thought,
Stuff that.
I'm going to get my bike and I'll be able just to get there in half an hour.
It's not a very bike.
You don't see a lot of bicycles around.
No, I wonder why.
It's quite a rugged terrain.
It's unspeakably hilly.
I forgot that about Somerset.
Between Wells and the site.
Yeah, I mean it's crazy sort of up and down hills.
At one point I just had to get off my bike and push it up an incredibly steep hill for 15 minutes today.
I thought I was going to have a massive coronary.
but it was a beautiful day and I was really glad that I did it because I was cycling through some wonderful countryside.
Unfortunately when I got to the actual site that took me another 45 minutes too because they wouldn't let me through the vehicle gate.
I had to go through the pedestrian gate with my bike.
Wheeling your bike.
They wouldn't let you ride it.
No.
I had these images of you, eccentrically dressed, maybe in a top hat, cycling through all the crowds, people shouting Count Buckley's name.
Well, last year we saw Grimmie Grimshaw, didn't we?
Grimmie Grimshaw.
On his little bike.
Grimble and Grimble at Christmas.
He was cycling through the VIP area on a fancy little bike, wasn't he, Nick Grimshaw?
He certainly was.
And so I was hoping to get a bit of that action, I must say, but it didn't really materialise.
I just got incredibly sweaty.
But I was glad I did it.
I'm not sure I'm going to cycle back tonight, though, because I think I might have an accident.
Might have a little drinky afterwards and I wouldn't want to take any chances.
No, no, no, no.
It'd be fun going back though.
I like it going back because I might chuck my bike in the bus and then there's all the Bon Ami and the Camaraderie, you know, and there's Steve Lamac.
He hangs from the top of the bus.
And everybody else, you know, swaps stories and... Stop talking.
Time for the news.
Here it is.
On digital radio and online BBC 6 music.

Mr Cameron also certainly prefers not to deal in overly strict timetables.
Our political editor is Nick Robinson.
talked before about his desire to get British troops home as soon as possible, but it's the first time I've heard him talking this way without putting any conditions on it, talking about conditions on the ground and so on.
It is clear now that mines are turning in Canada, in America, in Britain to how and when the troops get out.
Right, it's David Cameron's first G8 Summit as Prime Minister on the agenda, as well as Afghanistan, will be the global economy and bank reform.
Mr Cameron has called for the discussions to be more than just a grand talking shop.
It's next on Six Music, a 25-year-old man has been convicted of taking part in Britain's biggest jewellery robbery.

Shares in BP have fallen by more than 6% to their lowest level in almost 14 years.
The company has revealed that the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster has already costed 1.6 billion pounds.
City analyst Rupert Nathan says negative headlines are having an effect.
BP has become very much in broad and negative feedback loop so that any chance to sell the stock, any bad news is being seized upon and a reason to sell it lower.

Hey, I have always thought that it's all
So I will ask you once again Try to see things my way Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong While you're sitting your way That's just that we might fall apart before too long We can work it out, we can work it out

Stephen Wanda there with We Can Work It Out.
This is Adam and Jo here at Glastonbury 2010.
Very excited to be reunited for the first time this year for you listeners.
That's oxymoronic.
Reunited for the first time.
My dad will get my dad angry.
Probably yours as well.
Have a think about that.
If you're a big fan of Stevie, even if you're not, you can listen to him.
His performance here at Glastonbury live on Sunday night on Six Music.
La Mac will be introducing that right after us, basically, at what time?
10 o'clock on Sunday night.
What do you think he's... I mean, obviously we did a little Ebony and Ivory jingle there.
He's not going to be playing that, do you think?
Well, I don't know.
Maybe he will.
Maybe he'll invite us on.
That's what I'm hoping.
To sing along as well.
And what about some of the cheesier numbers?
I just called to say, I love you, I'm thinking of.
I think that's a perfectly reasonable song to play.
Sure.
My mum would be very disappointed if he didn't play it.
I think he, I mean, people presumably are hoping he'll do a kind of a greatest hits set.
Yeah.
Right?
Yeah.
I mean, he's not going to wheel out the new stuff, is he?
Surely.
His obscure new direction.
His deconstructionist music concrete.
What's the most recent Stevie Wonder track you know?
Uh, he just called to say I love you.
I remember one called Skeletons.
Skeletons?
Skeletons in that closet!
When was that from?
Six years ago, anyone else remember that?
Six years ago.
I didn't even know he was... More than that, maybe ten years ago.
I didn't even know he was doing new plops.
For the last thing I remember.
He'd done a new one a while ago.
Wow.
I thought he'd just reached that stage where he'd just thought, I'm not going to do any more new plops.
I'm just going to carry on wheeling out the old ones.
This is becoming very speculative.
Do you know what we need?
We need some facts.
Right on.
Now Snoop Dogg, he played earlier on today, around about five o'clock, the naughty hip hop sensation.
There's a rumour going round.
Can I say that I saw, I mean everyone else has probably said this, but I was in the press area and he came through it.
I thought at first he was jogging.
because he was sort of moving along at a semi-sprint, flanked by four huge bodyguards in sort of beautifully dressed in black suits and white shirts and black ties, jogging along beside him.
Like the Blues Brothers.
Yeah.
It was amazing.
He's very tall and very, very lean.
He still looks about 19.
He's like a whippet.
Yeah.
And there was a genuine frisson went through the crowd.
Well, he's probably famous, isn't he?
He really is.
Even though he's...
Yeah, he's brilliant.
Even though he's what?
Nothing.
Do you want some facts?
Yeah.
So here's some interesting facts about Snoop Dogg.
Did you know that Snoop's controversial album Doggy Style is not just about dogs.
It's also about style.
Snoop, did you know, was once known as Snoop Doggy Dogg, but he dropped his middle name because he thought it was just too silly.
Really?
Yeah, really.
So he's gone with Snoop Dogg instead.
It's a bit like Larry Fishburn calling himself Lawrence Fishburn, so people would take him more seriously.
Makes sense, sounds true.
You know, I mean, he said, he woke up one morning, Snoop Doggy Dogg, what kind of a crazy name is that?
No one's gonna take me seriously, I gotta drop the doggy.
It makes perfect sense.
Did you know that Snoop's father, Michael Dogg, wanted his son to work in his winemaking business?
And he is very bitterly disappointed when Snoop chose to be a singer instead.
Really?
Yeah.
A lot of people don't know that he's from a very aristocratic family.
Yeah.
Isn't he?
Absolutely.
Michael Dog is one of the premier winemakers in that part of Los Angeles.
Vintners.
Vintners is exactly what he is.
And yeah, it's very humiliating when your son, who supposedly is going to take over the winemaking empire, turns his hand to being a singer instead.
Final Snoop fact.
Snoop disapproved strongly of the macho posturing associated with hip hop and he decided to braid his hair like a girl in protest.
That's why he does it.
Really?
Yeah.
I thought that was because he was a big Pippi Longstocking fan.
That might be partly to do with it but no it's mainly it's like an in your face it's like I'm gonna look as much like a little girl.
Pippi Longströmf!
I think that's how you say it in the country where it's from, which is somewhere in Europe like Dutchland.
What are the Smurfs called in their original language?
The Stromfs or something like that.
It is, it is, it is, I promise you.
They're called the Smurfs.
They're not, they're called the Stromfs.
The Stromfs.
Someone will text us in and tell us what the Smurfs are actually called in their country of origin, which is Smurfland.
Yeah.
Ruled by General Abrahams.
F. Murray Abrams.
No, J.J.
Abrams.
J.J.
Abrams.
Father J.J.
He runs it.
Yeah.
So what are we doing music-wise now?
Yeah, we're going to have some music now from Snoop Doggy Dogg.
This is live from the pyramid stage.
Snoop Doggy Dogg.
Why don't we just establish that?
I'm sorry, I'm terrible with that.
That's silly.
That's a silly name.
I'm awful with that.
Snoop Doggy Dogg.
This is a song called Gangster Love, spelt L-U-V.
You know what?
I'm having so much fun right now.
Where the ladies at?
Okay, can all the ladies say ahh?
Say ow, ow.
Okay, Glastonbury, I want y'all to put your hand together like this and give me some gangsta love.
Come on, y'all.
Everybody having a good time?
Is the other way I put it on that blow a tree summer breeze hit me girl miss boss dog I give it to her right is she like it.
She gonna hit like a sidekick.

I'm in deep, you woke your ass up, just to put it to sleep Now every day is the same thing, I creep in, it's like true blood I'll sink my teeth in, I gotta have it, then you'll be racin' We was so hot, I think I'm down crazy Life's out, I'm so lit, mommy's so gone, cause daddy won't quit I won't stop till you finish, but you ain't feelin' good till I get to sleep
Gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, gangsta
BBC at Glastonbury on Six Music.
Absolutely amazing!
There were that many people singing aside.
I think I'd probably cry.
Non-stop Glastonbury continues across the weekend.
Coming up this week on Six Music, Steve LaMag.
On Tuesday, the Dead Weather's Jack White joins me live in the studio fresh from his band's performance at Glastonbury this weekend.
Steve LaMagg.
Weekdays from 4 with new music, new releases and in-depth interviews.
On Tuesday he's joined by Jack White on 6 Music.
So.
Black.
Hey gay song
That's the breeders with Cannonball.
Adam and Joe here at Glastonbury.
How are you doing, listeners?
Very nice to be back with you.
We were talking earlier about our respective trips here and yesterday I took the train from Norwich to get to Glastonbury.
It was a little two-leg journey there.
Unfortunately, my train to London from Norwich was cancelled when I turned up, Joe.
I had to make alternative arrangements, as did the rest of the travellers on that trip, and it was very busy.
And because it was a lovely sunny day, more people than just myself had brought their bicycles, which they hoped to put on the train.
It wouldn't have been a problem if the train was running normally to London.
We would have put it in the guards van, no problem.
But because the train was cancelled, the alternative was one of those three coach jobbies, like little hoppers, basically.
I hate them.
You know?
But still, there's bike storage on those.
So all of us, there was four of us with bikes, we all crowded round the doors for the bike storage.
carriage and the first chap when the doors finally opened put his uh... bike on the bike storage bit and i was waiting patiently for him to um... move so i could put mine in there there was a couple of girls with bikes behind me and then this uh... sort of posh bloke looked a little bit like tim nice but dim you know
got up there.
Was it Christopher Nolan?
Could well have been, yeah, could well have been.
And he got that up there and he had quite a big black suitcase and he popped the suitcase next to the bike in the bike storage area.
So the fellow before me with the bike said, oh, could you move your bag?
There's other people who are going to be putting their bikes in.
And he said, no.
So he said, what?
He said, no, I'm not going to move it.
And so the guy was like, oh, it's a bike storage area, though.
No, it's not.
And so we had the satisfaction of pointing to the large sticker that said bike storage.
He said, there's seats there.
There's three seats there.
Fold up seats.
What if I want to sit in those seats?
And we're like, okay.
Those other seats you could sit, where am I going to put my bag?
Where you could put it in a luggage rack?
No, there's no room.
I'm going to sit here.
I'm going to sit on my bag right here.
What do you think about that?
Was he mad?
Well, this was the thing.
I looked into his eyes and he was all a quiver, a little bit.
He was shaking.
Like he really was, he was, maybe he'd had a bad day, I don't know what, but he was thinking, I am going to jolly well have a confrontation about this, I'm going to stick to my guns, I'm sick of people with bikes telling me where I can go and where I can't go.
No, I'm going to sit here in a bike storage area on my belly bag.
If you want to do something about it, you can.
We're all blood and dead.
Wow.
He turned into silver black.
So he was absolutely quivering.
And I was thinking, wow, this is amazing.
Usually it's me that's in these situations getting furious.
And now suddenly I'm confronted by a totally unreasonable guy.
You were cool as a cucumber in total control.
Cool as a cucumber.
So what an amazing opportunity to say some of the coolest things you've ever said.
Well, I didn't want to put him down.
No.
I thought this is an opportunity for me to help this nutcase.
and because people were sort of standing around the train was about to leave he was stopping everyone from putting their bikes on and stuff an old lady said you it sounds like you're being very unreasonable what are you doing there and he said who are you to this old woman i was like hey hey everyone calm down now listen i'm gonna help you you said this yeah i said i'm gonna help you put your back you said hey hey hey everybody calm down i may say that i i may not have said hey hey hey but i said to him listen man
Just calm down.
What would it be better?
Yeah.
Sorry to interrupt.
Is if everyone had shouted, but then like in a movie, you shouted the loudest.
Right.
Do you know when they do that in films?
Or slapped him.
Or slapped someone.
Everybody be quiet!
Yeah.
And everyone else goes, he's louder than anyone else.
We should listen to him.
He's like one of the army men from the army recruitment task.
So I completely calmed the whole situation down.
And I found him a spot for his bag.
I mean, I totally humiliated the guy in a way.
Treating him like a baby.
I kind of, he needed to be treated like a baby.
And in the end, he sort of, like, having been proved completely wrong, and he was totally in the wrong 100% in this whole situation, he sort of swished past me, and I was expecting maybe an apology or something.
But no, he was too furious.
There was no question of one.
He just sort of said, well, I'm just gonna let it lie.
And swished past me like that.
If you were Noel Edmonds, you would name that man.
and then get thrown off the castle.
I was wondering what he did, though, because I bet you he had some kind of position of power.
He's probably, you know, one of the executives at BP or something.
But he, that's a little topical reference.
Yes, nice.
But then later on, I saw him flirting with some attractive women at Ely Station, and it turned out that he was just making friends with them.
And I felt like going over and saying, do you realize that man's unbalanced?
He sounds like a dude.
A mega dude.
I think he could be a mega dude.
I think you've misread the situation.
I didn't realize.
What a story.
You're like a nut magnet.
Well, I was just wanting to tell the story because usually as I say it's the other way around and this was one of the very rare occasions where I rose above the situation.
Here's some music right now from earlier on today and this is Dizzy the Mighty Rascal with Florence without her machine and they're covering a Candy Staten track.
What was it called?
You've got the love that they call it.
You've got the dirty love.
No money wants to be bigger, no money wants to be nameless.
Anglers, people act shameless, tryna live like entertainment.
When the fuck riff with the acres, to the spare money that they ain't made yet.
Got a van to a tick that they ain't paid yet, spend a paycheck in the west end on a weekend.
Got no money by the end of the weekend, but they don't care cause their life is a movie.
Start being Louis V, pay for it by yours truly.
Truthly, it's a joke, like a bad episode, the Holy Ghost, can't keep up with the covenant.
So they're going back and they're living all down dead, living in debt They still don't get it cause they're too busy living the high life, the nightlife, fucking the highway, living larger, they all say
I want you back in love, I need to see me through Let me take you down to London City where the hat and trees rise I know what that is Everybody's on the way for chase, that's why I'm big for a race Everybody's got a scusement, told me to do great Check in the hot, they said they're ready to ride I'm on the inside, lookin' at the So it's a lack of reflection, see why I don't feel safe in the south side Everywhere I go, there's a dude on the corner Just to end up, hit the scene like a sauna And it's gettin' warmer, and I'm on the floor
What's the answer?
What's the conclusion?
Is it an illusion?
Is it up on drugs?
I see dogs must die because they're trying to live lives in the oozy.
Sometimes I feel like all my head's up in the air.
Oh, I know I can call it all and lose love.
Sometimes I feel like saying, Lord, I just don't care.
You got the love, I need to see me too.
You got the love.
You got the love You got the love You got the love You got the love You got the love You got the love You got the love You got the love You got the love You got the love You got the love You got the love You got the love
That's where I came
Sometimes I feel like singing, but I just don't care But if you're all still gonna love to see me drive
Now, that final note wouldn't pass master on the X Factor.
I mean, that's not really singing, that's more just shouting.
Florence, without the machine, dizzy rascal there, with candy statins, dirty, you got the... Extraordinary bass vibrating the whole site when dizzy was on.
Oh, yeah.
It vibrated a whole little studio here.
We've got a tiny little studio.
It's a bit like the Apollo... What was the number of the Apollo, that movie?
11.
Apollo 11.
What was the movie, though?
13.
13, wasn't it?
Was it?
That's the one that goes wrong.
11 was the first... It's a bit like that, our studio, isn't it?
Yes, it is, exactly.
It's very small, and it's been vibrated heavily in quite an exciting way by Dizzy.
Yeah.
Well, it's going to be vibrating to the sounds of gorillas soon.
Yeah, that's true.
It's exciting.
How long till they come on?
I wonder what Rocky Smith is going to be doing after the thing.
Surely he's going to be doing it.
How is he?
He did a very good album, didn't he, recently, that got good reviews, didn't he?
Four albums always get good reviews.
Do they?
No matter what.
But I read a review that said he was particularly on form and he'd got it together and it was kind of like his best stuff for a while.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Is that not true?
They're all good.
Maybe it was an anomalous review.
Do you think he'll be all right on stage tonight?
Yeah.
yeah probably you'll just wander up and turn down somebody's amps and push over the keyboard player and it's all the people want that's all you want you can hear all the live music here from Glastonbury all the headline acts including Gorillaz and Groove Armada with Gideon Coe who's coming up any second now right it's nice that it's sunny yes he is coming up very shortly it is nice that he's sunny but imagine if it was a bit misty
What?
The gorillas.
The gorillas in the mist.
I like it.
And they could have Sigourney Weaver as a special guest.
Diane Farsi.
What's her name in Avatar, Sigourney?
Ner-hoot-ah.
Ner-hoot-eet-ee.
Ner-hoot-oo-doo.
Eh-wah.
Jake Sully with your smartphone.
Listen, folks, we've got to go because it's time for our show to end.

Thanks for listening.
Thank you.

Bye.
