10:03.659 --> 10:04.720 Oh, I heard about it. 10:04.740 --> 10:06.102 I saw it on Charlie Brooker's show. 10:06.602 --> 10:08.304 I saw it when I was in America. 10:08.364 --> 10:09.425 It was really pretty good. 10:09.505 --> 10:09.725 Yeah. 10:09.945 --> 10:12.608 Yeah, really genuinely amusing and good. 10:12.948 --> 10:15.831 But it's a deliberate attempt to be as insane as possible. 10:15.891 --> 10:16.191 Yeah. 10:16.532 --> 10:17.432 Yeah, but it works. 10:17.673 --> 10:17.893 Yeah. 10:18.053 --> 10:24.499 And as an adult, with a mature brain, you know, comparatively, it was really good. 10:24.519 --> 10:26.201 I wonder if it works for children equally well. 10:26.221 --> 10:26.641 I bet it does. 10:27.822 --> 10:28.322 I bet it does. 10:28.342 --> 10:30.384 Because sometimes things that are that sophisticated. 10:30.404 --> 10:31.485 I know what you mean. 10:31.525 --> 10:32.825 Go over the heads of children. 10:32.866 --> 10:33.846 Too cool, yeah. 10:34.387 --> 10:35.067 No, it is good. 10:35.807 --> 10:36.848 Good, that's the relief. 10:37.048 --> 10:46.074 This is Adam and Joe here on BBC 6 Music and we're sort of tidying up some of the loose ends left by last week's outpouring of domestic anxiety. 10:47.015 --> 10:54.520 Mainly led by me it has to be said and I was complaining about various things around the house that irritate me about the domestic regime. 10:55.040 --> 10:57.342 I've been alone for the past week. 10:58.002 --> 11:04.787 Sorry to hear that because my partners in in Berlin as I keep saying yeah, she's working out And I've been slightly going slightly mad. 11:04.947 --> 11:08.689 Uh-huh I went on one outing on Thursday night. 11:08.709 --> 11:10.811 It wasn't a very successful outing. 11:10.851 --> 11:11.891 I went to see Friday the 13th 11:13.647 --> 11:15.908 at the midnight show in Leicester Square. 11:15.928 --> 11:16.908 No, with some friends. 11:17.368 --> 11:21.989 But it was a weird collection of people who would go and see that film at midnight on a Thursday. 11:22.189 --> 11:23.630 It didn't make me feel very social. 11:23.670 --> 11:24.530 Other single men. 11:25.110 --> 11:25.710 Other killers. 11:26.810 --> 11:29.531 People considering some murder and looking for some ideas. 11:29.551 --> 11:32.412 But other than that I've been going slightly mad. 11:33.552 --> 11:34.452 Do you ever get that? 11:34.532 --> 11:36.133 I guess you're not alone for very long. 11:36.173 --> 11:38.173 I've started talking to myself a lot. 11:39.053 --> 11:40.654 Singing very loudly quite a lot. 11:41.554 --> 11:59.302 forgetting where I've put things and just walking around the house quite you know from room to room very quickly mm-hmm not bothering to get fully dressed staying in my dressing gown for most of the day sexy getting a bit too closely involved with the cat yeah well that's been building up for a while now nothing filthy it's not like that 11:59.662 --> 12:01.683 But just talking to it a bit too much. 12:02.023 --> 12:02.524 Crying. 12:02.604 --> 12:03.724 Getting a bit angry with it. 12:03.804 --> 12:04.085 Yeah. 12:04.605 --> 12:08.267 Then getting, you know, feeling ashamed that I got angry. 12:08.507 --> 12:12.729 Throwing it against the wall, going into the next room, coming back saying, I can't say. 12:12.789 --> 12:15.891 Hearing what's happening in the neighbours' houses through the walls. 12:16.091 --> 12:18.152 Oh, actually, have you used a glass yet? 12:18.232 --> 12:18.893 No, not yet. 12:18.953 --> 12:21.614 But I've turned the telly off and strained to listen. 12:21.654 --> 12:22.675 I'm feeling a bit jealous. 12:23.976 --> 12:42.225 of the fact that there's life and yeah yeah yeah community in there yeah that kind of thing falling asleep on the sofa and waking up and not knowing what time it is or how old I am wow that kind of thing are you getting some amazingly good work done in the meantime some yeah little bits of work wow you'll look back on this period and think I was really inspired then I doubt it 12:42.970 --> 12:45.111 Now, I've had a very frustrating week. 12:45.352 --> 12:46.352 I didn't get anything done. 12:46.472 --> 12:50.975 Mainly, all I did was try and get a printer that actually worked. 12:51.375 --> 12:51.816 You know what I mean? 12:52.036 --> 12:58.380 Do you ever get into that thing of you buy a piece of equipment, it doesn't really do exactly what you want it to do. 12:58.480 --> 13:00.721 You think, I'm not going to put up with this. 13:01.102 --> 13:02.843 I'm going to get customer satisfaction. 13:03.223 --> 13:14.969 And then you launch into a series of exchanges and calling helplines and trying to get satisfaction that ends up dominating your life for several days or weeks. 13:15.529 --> 13:16.710 And it becomes a nightmare. 13:17.030 --> 13:19.851 In the end, I replaced various kinds of printers. 13:20.071 --> 13:25.094 I just kept on taking them back to the shop and exchanging them and saying, listen, you know, this one doesn't work either. 13:25.814 --> 13:29.936 And every day was just going back to the shop saying, this one doesn't work, can I try another one? 13:30.016 --> 13:34.419 And actually they were very nice in the shop there, luckily, which made it more pleasurable. 13:34.719 --> 13:36.440 But it turned into just a nightmare. 13:36.460 --> 13:42.944 I realised that whole days were being swallowed up with me just going to this shop, bringing back a new printer, installing it, installing all the... 13:43.484 --> 14:01.891 printer drivers agreeing to the licensing agreement and then phoning up the helpline, trying to find the number for the helpline online, getting through to Ghana or wherever the call exchange centre was, talking to very nice patient people out there who were trying to help me. 14:02.351 --> 14:03.792 Have you tried turning it off and on again? 14:03.812 --> 14:04.572 All that sort of stuff. 14:04.912 --> 14:05.913 It was a nightmare! 14:06.033 --> 14:06.834 What a nightmare. 14:07.195 --> 14:21.573 Listen, you're just stroking your juice bottle there and looking at the clock, as if what I'm saying about the printer... Well, I want to talk more about this, but I just wonder whether we should have a record and then have the bottom of the hour, because I think it's an interesting subject, printer repairing. 14:23.155 --> 14:29.499 And I'd like to dedicate a good... Walking around in your dressing gown, talking to the cat. 14:29.819 --> 14:30.800 That's interesting. 14:31.060 --> 14:36.283 But me and my printer, I thought we'd just, you know, maybe go into a record and come back to the printer. 14:36.344 --> 14:36.664 Fair enough. 14:36.684 --> 14:37.644 Because it is interesting. 14:37.664 --> 14:37.905 Yeah. 14:38.025 --> 14:39.806 And you're getting angry and that's always good. 14:40.766 --> 14:41.547 So here's a record. 14:41.567 --> 14:41.947 What is it?

16:00.046 --> 16:01.427 Why are you giggling in that way? 16:01.447 --> 16:03.028 I'm giggling with joy, excitement, pleasure. 16:03.068 --> 16:04.249 I can't wait to hear the jingle. 16:04.549 --> 16:05.429 Shall we just hear it then? 16:05.529 --> 16:05.790 Yeah. 16:05.850 --> 16:06.230 Come on then. 16:10.293 --> 16:25.913 Your drummer is a drama queen Your singer is a brat Your bassist is a racist And here there's a stupid hat You've got to solve your problems Or your band will never last You need some pop psychology And you need it very fast 16:27.616 --> 16:27.916 Wow. 16:28.357 --> 16:47.907 Yes, it's a new segment called Pop Psychology, and we've been asking listeners who are in bands, whether they be young emerging bands, bands that are currently dragging themselves around the country doing pub gigs, or big famous bands, to contact us with their internal psychological band problems, right? 16:47.987 --> 16:50.329 Things that may be threatening to split up the band. 16:51.169 --> 16:59.179 problems that are storms that are swelling in the band members' heads that could one day burst out and fragment or ruin the band. 16:59.239 --> 17:04.366 We're particularly interested in the problems of maybe the peripheral members of the band, shall we put it that way? 17:04.386 --> 17:04.526 Yeah. 17:04.726 --> 17:09.172 Or at least the band members that are not the leaders of the band or the lead singers. 17:09.292 --> 17:12.995 This is the kind of thing that simply isn't talked about while a band is successful. 17:13.155 --> 17:21.562 Only when they split up, if they're famous and release biographies, will you learn about what was going on within the band during their successful period, right? 17:21.622 --> 17:26.626 Yeah, often they are extremely colourful members, a very obvious example being Stuart Copeland from The Police. 17:27.027 --> 17:33.352 All the attention quite rightly and understandably in most bands is on the lead singer and the main songwriter, right? 17:33.772 --> 17:33.913 Right. 17:33.953 --> 17:38.661 Because they tend to be the most flamboyant characters, and creatively they're driving the unit, so it's fair enough. 17:39.122 --> 17:46.035 But the other members of the band sometimes wrongly get completely overlooked and sidelined, and they have a lot to say for themselves too, you know. 17:46.348 --> 17:49.371 Yeah, and often these problems are things that could have been fixed. 17:49.971 --> 17:54.095 And if they had been fixed earlier, then some of these great bands wouldn't have split up. 17:55.056 --> 17:58.279 You know, early intervention is what we're trying to do here. 17:58.379 --> 18:08.768 The kind of bitterness you get from people like Tina Weymouth, from Talking Heads, when she talks about the split of that band and the way that David Byrne used to conduct affairs within the band. 18:09.068 --> 18:09.768 I mean, it's amazing. 18:09.789 --> 18:11.129 She's a very talented person, too. 18:11.169 --> 18:17.974 And of course, talking here is a good example of a unit that was so important to all of them were important to make that band great, you know. 18:18.554 --> 18:19.575 You're trying to move me on, aren't you? 18:19.695 --> 18:22.416 I want to talk about Tina Weymouth for an hour, for one hour. 18:23.157 --> 18:23.477 Here we go. 18:23.877 --> 18:29.401 Okay, so we have got a young member of a top new band on the line. 18:29.441 --> 18:30.081 His name's Liam. 18:30.121 --> 18:30.621 Hello, Liam. 18:31.162 --> 18:31.462 Hello. 18:32.042 --> 18:32.803 How are you doing today?

20:17.933 --> 20:18.433 Yeah. 20:19.254 --> 20:20.695 How many songs have you written so far? 20:20.715 --> 20:22.416 Two and a half. 20:23.077 --> 20:24.218 And how long have you been together? 20:24.238 --> 20:25.559 A year. 20:26.104 --> 20:26.464 Right. 20:27.025 --> 20:28.065 So this is problematic. 20:28.105 --> 20:35.489 Now, is it... What I'm deducing is that there's one member of this band that maybe has more sway over what the band does than anybody else. 20:35.749 --> 20:37.210 Somebody who's kind of the kingpin. 20:37.710 --> 20:38.210 Is that right? 20:39.091 --> 20:39.911 Yeah, kind of. 20:40.291 --> 20:41.272 And it's not you, is it? 20:41.812 --> 20:42.953 No, it's not me. 20:43.013 --> 20:45.274 Don't name him, but who is it in the band? 20:45.314 --> 20:46.074 Is it the lead singer? 20:47.455 --> 20:48.676 No, he's away. 20:48.696 --> 20:50.817 It's kind of the drummer's dad. 20:51.417 --> 20:52.738 The drummer's dad? 20:53.618 --> 20:55.119 What's going on with the drummer's dad? 20:56.018 --> 20:59.462 Well he kind of makes decisions for us, like whether we should do gigs or not. 21:00.302 --> 21:04.987 And it's kind of annoying because he's not in the band so he kind of wants to be in the band. 21:05.067 --> 21:08.871 What does he turn up at your rehearsal space or are you rehearsing in his house or what? 21:09.972 --> 21:15.178 Well sometimes we rehearse at his house but then he gives us tips but we don't really need them because 21:15.854 --> 21:16.956 He's a builder or something. 21:18.518 --> 21:19.339 What does he know? 21:19.359 --> 21:25.527 He listens to a lot of music on the radio probably while he's doing the building, so he probably knows what constitutes a good song. 21:25.847 --> 21:30.033 Can I ask you Liam, I don't know if you asked this already Joe, what are your ages in the band? 21:32.044 --> 21:32.304 I'm 16. 21:32.424 --> 21:34.545 15 and 16, I did ask that already, yeah. 21:34.925 --> 21:37.085 Well, this is a whole nest of problems, Liam. 21:37.945 --> 21:43.166 There's all sorts of issues going on, but your main one is that you don't think the band is interesting enough, right? 21:43.186 --> 21:45.006 You think the music is a bit boring? 21:45.386 --> 21:46.227 Yeah. 21:46.407 --> 21:48.667 So what would you say the band's image is like? 21:48.727 --> 21:53.528 I mean, you look like a fairly standard bunch of indie layabouts there. 21:53.668 --> 21:57.008 Although I would say, looking at this picture, they look very happy. 21:57.109 --> 21:59.829 I would, you know, they look a bit like a Christian rock group to me. 22:00.069 --> 22:01.652 Which one are you, Liam, in the picture? 22:01.672 --> 22:04.056 I'm the tall one with curly hair. 22:04.620 --> 22:06.101 Oh, the... Oh, right. 22:06.421 --> 22:07.042 Ah, you see. 22:07.222 --> 22:10.304 I would think... You know, I naturally thought that that was the lead singer. 22:11.605 --> 22:15.088 You've got a look of the man from Dodgy about you. 22:15.328 --> 22:15.789 Is it Dodgy? 22:15.849 --> 22:16.489 No, not Dodgy. 22:16.629 --> 22:18.130 The guy from Top Loader. 22:19.151 --> 22:22.033 Joe... Joe Hair Bear. 22:22.153 --> 22:22.834 Joe Hair Bear. 22:22.954 --> 22:23.474 That's the guy. 22:23.775 --> 22:25.216 So listen, let's surmise the problems. 22:25.276 --> 22:28.058 Number one, you believe band is too boring. 22:28.939 --> 22:32.081 Do you think it's the musical style or the image or what's too boring? 22:32.421 --> 22:33.202 I think it's both. 22:34.249 --> 22:48.486 musical style and image okay you don't like the intervention of the dad no and is that it so there's no one member of the band who's too dominant it's just this dad that's walking all over everybody yeah 22:49.312 --> 22:49.652 Okay. 22:50.412 --> 22:50.692 All right. 22:50.712 --> 22:56.313 Well, what we're going to do, Liam, is we're going to go away and we're going to consult and we're going to come back with some advice for you later in the program. 22:56.353 --> 22:58.114 Any questions you want to ask Dr. Buckles? 22:59.594 --> 23:01.594 What kind of thing do you imagine? 23:01.734 --> 23:05.715 I mean, have you got any ideas yourself about how you would like the band to be, Liam? 23:06.855 --> 23:09.556 It's kind of different and new. 23:10.456 --> 23:11.936 Different, new and exciting? 23:12.236 --> 23:12.436 Yes. 23:12.636 --> 23:14.257 Would you use the word edgy? 23:15.617 --> 23:16.377 Oh, that's a good word. 23:16.617 --> 23:16.777 Yeah. 23:17.156 --> 23:19.179 Yeah, so you'd like the band to be edgy. 23:19.560 --> 23:19.740 Yeah. 23:20.120 --> 23:25.107 Okay, and image-wise, are you happy with that picture of you? 23:25.147 --> 23:28.853 I mean, because you all look very handsome and you've got skinny jeans and stuff. 23:28.933 --> 23:33.179 What would you say yourself are the main problems with the band in that picture? 23:34.693 --> 23:36.155 That was kind of too plain. 23:36.616 --> 23:38.638 Like you said, we look like a Christian rock band. 23:39.059 --> 23:46.990 So listen, Liam, if we come up, for instance, with a new name for you and some new image ideas, how likely are you to implement them? 23:48.445 --> 23:49.926 Um, yeah, if they're good enough. 23:50.326 --> 23:51.487 If they're good enough, okay. 23:51.547 --> 23:51.887 Well, they will be. 23:51.907 --> 23:52.307 They will be. 23:52.367 --> 23:54.368 They've got to get past the building dad, though. 23:54.428 --> 23:55.268 They'll be more than good enough. 23:55.288 --> 23:57.610 Well, we might be getting him out of the equation. 23:57.670 --> 23:57.950 Right, right. 23:57.970 --> 23:59.290 That might be part of our advice. 23:59.491 --> 23:59.771 Okay. 23:59.871 --> 24:02.852 So, Liam, we're going to go away and draw up a plan for stroking coats. 24:03.373 --> 24:05.394 They may not be called stroking coats for much longer. 24:05.414 --> 24:08.275 And then we're going to tell you about it slightly later in the show. 24:08.315 --> 24:10.016 Thanks a lot for telling us about your problems. 24:11.068 --> 24:11.168 OK. 24:11.488 --> 24:13.029 Thanks, Liam, and stay tuned. 24:13.669 --> 24:14.750 Right, now here's some music. 24:14.790 --> 24:16.111 This is not Stroking Coats. 24:16.231 --> 24:17.851 It's probably not as good as Stroking Coats. 24:18.151 --> 24:19.752 This is Oasis with Falling Down. 24:20.012 --> 24:27.216 That was Fleetwood Mac with Man of the World, and that was a kind of a dedication to Ollie, who was on the show last week, of course. 24:27.316 --> 24:34.459 Quite a lot of ladies emailed in saying that they fancied Ollie, saying that they thought he was a sort of handsome version of you. 24:34.479 --> 24:37.501 I didn't put that very tactfully, but you know what I mean? 24:37.541 --> 24:39.942 Like, slightly younger. 24:40.302 --> 24:40.543 Mm-hmm. 24:40.964 --> 24:41.586 And taller. 24:41.806 --> 24:42.849 How did you get on with Ollie? 24:42.869 --> 24:45.837 Because, you know, we asked Ollie all about what it was like for him being in the studio. 24:45.877 --> 24:46.599 How did you find it? 24:47.330 --> 24:48.791 How did I find having Ollie here? 24:49.112 --> 24:49.652 I liked it. 24:50.193 --> 24:56.178 I think it's always fun to have someone to not show off, but, you know, like perform to. 24:56.538 --> 24:56.798 Right. 24:57.079 --> 24:58.079 Didn't cramp your style. 24:58.260 --> 24:58.760 Not really. 24:58.840 --> 24:59.301 Did it you?

She could just play the triangle. 32:25.515 --> 32:32.539 I mean, you could possibly get a very talented female musician, but if you couldn't, you could just get a decorative one. 32:33.059 --> 32:34.140 Is that condescending? 32:34.160 --> 32:34.620 A little bit. 32:34.760 --> 32:36.782 I'm just opening up the options there. 32:36.802 --> 32:37.322 Yeah, sure. 32:37.422 --> 32:43.987 You know, don't feel you cannot hire a girl because she can't play. 32:44.007 --> 32:45.989 Get a really pretty one to play the triangle. 32:46.409 --> 32:47.710 That's what Joe suggested. 32:47.810 --> 32:50.772 Put her up front of the stage. 32:51.412 --> 32:52.333 That could work, man. 32:52.633 --> 32:53.374 That's a good idea. 32:53.394 --> 32:54.415 It's not mine anyway. 32:54.615 --> 32:57.497 Not even the tambourine, but the triangle. 32:59.622 --> 32:59.902 Get it? 33:00.162 --> 33:02.843 Get a girl with a giant rack to play the kazoo. 33:05.544 --> 33:07.384 That's a good piece of advice. 33:08.645 --> 33:09.725 So there's one bit of advice. 33:10.725 --> 33:15.527 Bernadette and Dan suggest that stroking cats is a more logical name for the band. 33:16.007 --> 33:17.448 Not stroking coats, stroking cats. 33:17.488 --> 33:18.768 That's a joke though, isn't it, Liam? 33:20.400 --> 33:21.341 It's logical, yeah. 33:21.501 --> 33:24.702 Was that an intended play on words, though, in the name of the band, Liam? 33:25.162 --> 33:25.602 I don't know. 33:25.622 --> 33:27.903 I don't think I was there when they named the band. 33:28.024 --> 33:30.645 There we go. 33:30.665 --> 33:32.405 Let's have a look at some more bits of advice. 33:32.766 --> 33:35.467 John Temple has contacted us via email. 33:35.527 --> 33:38.188 He says, I think Liam needs to go solo. 33:38.528 --> 33:39.909 The band is holding him back. 33:40.609 --> 33:43.553 MySpace is so 1996 they need a Twitter account. 33:43.893 --> 33:44.754 Mmm, Twitter. 33:44.814 --> 33:45.275 Twitter. 33:45.335 --> 33:47.598 I wouldn't listen to that kind of, um, talk. 33:47.798 --> 33:48.439 But what do you think? 33:48.479 --> 33:49.059 Go solo? 33:49.460 --> 33:53.004 You're thinking about possibly, um... Go on, right there. 33:53.024 --> 33:55.007 Do you have ideas for songs yourself, Liam? 33:55.771 --> 33:55.931 Yes. 33:56.552 --> 33:57.112 Aha! 33:57.412 --> 33:58.733 Now, that's an important piece of the puzzle. 33:58.753 --> 34:00.454 You're the bassist in Stroking Coats. 34:01.114 --> 34:04.497 Of course, there are precedents for other bassists with ideas. 34:05.137 --> 34:09.220 Turning into a very important part of the band, The Beatles, for example. 34:09.960 --> 34:13.262 Paul McCartney, of course, was quite an integral part of that unit. 34:13.622 --> 34:22.368 So you should get in there, and all you need to do is find the Lennon to your McCartney, who is maybe the lead singer already, and perhaps, you know, split off. 34:23.075 --> 34:24.116 It's worth thinking about. 34:24.376 --> 34:26.417 I wouldn't say anything out loud to the rest of the band. 34:27.037 --> 34:29.359 Hopefully they won't be listening to this, but think about it. 34:29.819 --> 34:33.521 And Liam, Adam and I have been thinking as well, and we've come up with some tactics for you. 34:33.961 --> 34:36.022 The first thing to do is to deal with these dads. 34:36.422 --> 34:42.406 You've either got to get rid of them, get them out, put your foot down and say, you know, look, dads, this is our band. 34:42.626 --> 34:46.208 Yeah, you're turning us into like a Jimmy Nail sitcom, for goodness sake, dad. 34:46.408 --> 34:46.849 Exactly. 34:46.889 --> 34:48.190 The dads just need to go away. 34:48.230 --> 34:49.652 They need to butt out. 34:50.053 --> 34:51.455 You know this is your life, not theirs. 34:51.495 --> 34:53.697 They had their chance for rock stardom and they failed. 34:54.098 --> 34:56.321 They can't try and live it vicariously through you. 34:56.361 --> 34:58.063 Is that ringing any bells there, Liam? 34:58.635 --> 34:58.855 Yeah. 34:59.276 --> 35:00.216 Yeah, just be firm. 35:00.537 --> 35:01.197 Dads like it. 35:01.658 --> 35:05.021 They'll be compliant to that if you really stop freaking out and shouting at them. 35:05.281 --> 35:06.202 Write that phrase down. 35:07.163 --> 35:10.205 You can't live your life vicariously through this band. 35:10.666 --> 35:12.668 Get back to the building site, Grandpa. 35:13.548 --> 35:13.748 Right? 35:14.069 --> 35:16.191 Write that phrase down word for word and see how it goes. 35:16.451 --> 35:19.494 Or if that doesn't work, use the dads. 35:20.054 --> 35:25.258 What about being a band like Kraftwerk who used to put dummies on stage and stuff? 35:25.818 --> 35:27.440 Have the dads actually play? 35:27.560 --> 35:29.821 And you're the Machiavellian puppet masters. 35:30.362 --> 35:32.644 So you're at the back of the stage all dressed in black. 35:32.984 --> 35:36.987 And at the front of the stage are your dads with instruments that aren't plugged in. 35:37.167 --> 35:38.068 And here's another idea. 35:38.348 --> 35:42.931 You dress the dads up like schoolboys, like Angus Young and ACDC, right? 35:43.212 --> 35:46.034 And you guys are all dressed in suits like businessmen! 35:46.454 --> 35:51.398 Exactly, and maybe you even tie strings around their wrists to your own wrists so they're like puppets. 35:51.479 --> 35:53.821 Exactly, to make the whole puppet master thing overt. 35:53.861 --> 35:56.403 And then see how much they like being involved in your band. 35:56.443 --> 35:57.864 And then see how much they like it. 36:00.544 --> 36:01.345 Here's another one. 36:02.326 --> 36:10.373 Or you could put the dads in the photo, so the promotional material for your band is humiliating pictures of the dads, right? 36:12.214 --> 36:15.918 On a serious note though, Liam, the dad thing is a disastrous development for the band. 36:15.958 --> 36:17.159 You have got to deal with that. 36:17.199 --> 36:18.019 That's point one. 36:18.500 --> 36:21.342 Deal with the dad situation and be unequivocal about it. 36:21.422 --> 36:22.263 No dads. 36:22.543 --> 36:24.625 Who's the band where the dad is actually in the band? 36:25.926 --> 36:33.411 What are they called there's a young thrusting band and the dad is actually involved I think maybe that I'll find out during the next record, but wouldn't it mystery jets? 36:33.732 --> 36:35.032 Yeah, exactly the mystery jets. 36:35.213 --> 36:35.593 What? 36:35.673 --> 36:35.953 Yeah. 36:35.993 --> 36:36.173 Yeah. 36:36.213 --> 36:36.373 Yeah. 36:36.413 --> 36:36.874 He's involved. 36:36.894 --> 36:37.694 Isn't that right Lehman? 36:37.714 --> 36:41.337 He plays with them and stuff Yeah, so that has empowered dads hasn't it? 36:41.377 --> 36:49.302 That's a terrible development really because it's made other dads think that they've got some kind of a right or claim to be in their Offsprings Enterprises. 36:49.342 --> 36:50.443 Yeah, that's disastrous. 36:50.463 --> 36:50.603 Oh 36:51.734 --> 36:59.036 Uh, the other thing that we thought you could do, Liam, and this is the final bit of advice, is that you could become very flamboyant. 36:59.356 --> 37:00.077 Mm-hmm. 37:00.097 --> 37:01.837 Like start dressing really crazily. 37:01.877 --> 37:04.398 We're thinking multi-coloured, uh, boiler suit. 37:04.418 --> 37:05.818 Because you've got good hair there. 37:05.839 --> 37:09.240 You could dye that hair like, like, like, Stroll Peter or whatever he's called. 37:09.260 --> 37:10.540 You could put things in it, man. 37:10.720 --> 37:11.601 Yeah, little birds. 37:11.621 --> 37:12.822 Little bits of birds. 37:13.663 --> 37:16.506 It doesn't have to be whole birds. 37:16.826 --> 37:19.850 You can get just bits of birds and stick them in their beaks and feet. 37:19.910 --> 37:21.932 But then you get a really foxy girlfriend. 37:22.372 --> 37:25.355 Again, you could advertise for her or just rent her. 37:26.076 --> 37:33.019 And you bring her to all the band practices and stuff, and you kiss her in the middle of songs and stuff. 37:33.039 --> 37:37.241 You need to hook up with the most attractive bird in Bournemouth, right? 37:37.421 --> 37:38.802 That everybody wants to get with. 37:39.122 --> 37:42.544 That's your version of the Gwyneth Paltrow thing, right? 37:42.624 --> 37:48.006 I mean, Chris Martin, talented fellow, Coldplay, wonderful band, but they were nothing until he got together with Paltrow. 37:48.126 --> 37:52.512 So by sheer force of personality, you dominate the rest of the band. 37:52.572 --> 37:56.077 Now that you've got rid of the dads, you're calling the shots and it's all back on track. 37:56.498 --> 38:00.604 One final piece of advice actually is to use all of this in your songs. 38:00.624 --> 38:03.989 You've only got three songs, so write a song about the annoying dads. 38:04.449 --> 38:04.809 Yeah. 38:04.909 --> 38:07.690 Write a song about how you think the band is boring. 38:08.170 --> 38:10.010 Express all of this stuff in music. 38:10.090 --> 38:11.210 Don't be explicit. 38:11.270 --> 38:15.431 Maybe use metaphor and analogy to put across these problems. 38:15.451 --> 38:16.432 I don't think you should. 38:17.152 --> 38:19.272 Adam thinks you should just be explicit. 38:19.352 --> 38:20.432 Absolutely explicit. 38:20.452 --> 38:28.354 Because fans like nothing more than a song that's really sort of nakedly, brazenly, confessional about what's happening in the band, right? 38:29.714 --> 38:30.014 Hello? 38:30.195 --> 38:31.435 Liam's weeping. 38:33.866 --> 38:35.387 He's yawning and weeping. 38:35.407 --> 38:38.169 There's a whole raft of ideas for stroking coats. 38:38.369 --> 38:38.609 Yeah. 38:38.989 --> 38:40.830 And that's it, really, Liam. 38:40.850 --> 38:42.051 Do you think any of that's any use? 38:42.731 --> 38:42.952 Yes. 38:43.452 --> 38:44.773 I'm going to say that's a great answer. 38:44.873 --> 38:46.754 Some of it is really good advice, Liam. 38:47.395 --> 38:48.115 Some of it isn't. 38:48.175 --> 38:49.296 It's up to you to choose. 38:49.316 --> 38:50.556 The girl with the kazoo. 38:50.596 --> 38:52.457 I like the girl tambourine thing. 38:52.637 --> 38:53.097 Well, exactly. 38:53.117 --> 38:54.918 That's used because it's all gold. 38:55.098 --> 38:57.358 Ma'am, we're going to be watching out for Stroking Coats. 38:57.438 --> 39:04.161 Please keep us in touch with any developments, like how your dads respond, how the auditions for the kazoo player go. 39:04.861 --> 39:05.761 All that kind of stuff. 39:05.801 --> 39:06.502 Will you, Liam? 39:06.602 --> 39:08.902 And send us some of your music as well, if you can. 39:08.962 --> 39:10.843 You can hear their music on their MySpace page. 39:11.223 --> 39:12.463 Yeah, about MySpace. 39:12.784 --> 39:13.824 Yeah, good point. 39:17.405 --> 39:24.047 Liam, it sounds like some sort of industrial whistle is going off and you need to go back to making football shirts or whatever you do. 39:25.848 --> 39:26.988 So thanks for calling. 39:27.594 --> 39:28.495 Okay, thank you very much. 39:28.615 --> 39:29.276 Take care, Liam. 39:29.296 --> 39:29.996 Have a good weekend. 39:30.156 --> 39:30.417 Bye. 39:30.437 --> 39:30.497 Bye. 39:31.237 --> 39:31.838 So that was it. 39:32.578 --> 39:34.520 Our exciting new pop psychology segment. 39:35.161 --> 39:42.027 If your band would like the same treatment, then feel free to email us, adamandjo.6musicatbbc.co.uk. 39:42.047 --> 39:43.909 The more specific the problem, the better, right? 39:44.029 --> 39:51.135 And we don't necessarily have to speak to the person on the phone sometimes if it's just an emailed problem that is worthy of reading out, we'll do that. 39:51.215 --> 39:55.176 Please don't use this as an excuse just to get your band talked about on the radio. 39:55.216 --> 39:59.997 We do need genuine psychological and internal problems in bands, and we'd love a famous band. 40:00.077 --> 40:00.318 Yeah. 40:00.478 --> 40:04.879 We could protect your voice or just read out the email if you're in a famous band. 40:05.299 --> 40:08.080 We wouldn't even say the name of the band, but we'd need to know. 40:08.320 --> 40:08.860 Wouldn't we? 40:08.920 --> 40:10.080 For our own personal satisfaction. 40:10.100 --> 40:11.180 You wouldn't tell the listeners. 40:11.861 --> 40:13.361 Well, it would be exciting for us. 40:13.541 --> 40:17.542 Now, here's a band that seems to have taken a lot of the advice that we just gave to Liam there. 40:17.602 --> 40:20.163 This is Empire of the Sun with Walking on a Dream. 40:20.843 --> 40:22.244 The Sound of the Lady Men. 40:22.904 --> 40:25.105 That's Empire of the Sun with Walking on a Dream. 40:25.505 --> 40:30.347 Have you seen the advertisement for their new album on magazines in magazines? 40:30.847 --> 40:31.067 No. 40:31.768 --> 40:35.409 They've made it out to be like a film poster, right? 40:35.889 --> 40:37.970 For what looks like a very bad film. 40:38.450 --> 40:43.993 With these two flamboyant characters from Empire of the Sun all dressed up in their finery with their ludicrous makeup on, etc. 40:44.813 --> 40:57.087 And in the background, there are sort of airbrushed sci-fi vistas, stampeding elephants, planets ringed by strange lights and stuff. 40:57.267 --> 40:58.608 Sounds like an amazing film. 40:59.469 --> 40:59.990 You reckon? 41:00.190 --> 41:01.652 I'm gonna look at it on the internet. 41:01.792 --> 41:02.513 Do you reckon? 41:02.953 --> 41:03.854 Looks like a bad film. 41:04.155 --> 41:06.217 I mean, there have been precedents for that kind of thing. 41:06.497 --> 41:06.997 Who was it? 41:07.237 --> 41:13.719 There was the band Terrorvision did a film poster album cover and I think a few bands have done that. 41:14.139 --> 41:15.319 Gone the film poster route. 41:15.859 --> 41:18.060 But certainly no one has done it with quite so much. 41:18.340 --> 41:21.321 Elan, if I may use that word, is Empire of the Sun. 41:21.721 --> 41:26.062 They've cornered the market in the fake film poster album stakes, I think. 41:27.007 --> 41:34.035 Now I'm going to introduce my free play and make this a slightly... I'm going to take a little Mexican detour, Joe, right now, okay? 41:34.055 --> 41:37.058 Because this also ties into a Stephen email that we got. 41:37.579 --> 41:40.442 Dear Adam and Joe, this is from Ricardo in Mexico. 41:40.482 --> 41:42.464 Should I read this out with a Mexican accent? 41:43.725 --> 41:43.946 Yes. 41:44.582 --> 41:46.203 Okay, you told me to. 41:46.423 --> 41:47.484 Yeah, it's my fault. 41:47.905 --> 41:51.007 Dear Adam and Joe, I am a huge fan of your show. 41:52.168 --> 41:53.389 I said Mexican accent. 41:54.590 --> 41:55.630 Is that not Mexican? 41:55.650 --> 41:56.631 I don't really know. 41:56.691 --> 41:57.952 I think he's Speedy Gonzalez. 41:57.972 --> 41:58.532 He's Mexican. 41:59.073 --> 42:01.695 And enjoy listening to your broadcastings and podcasts. 42:02.095 --> 42:06.218 I don't know how many fans you have here in Mexico, but at least you have two. 42:06.578 --> 42:07.319 Let me explain. 42:07.719 --> 42:10.922 Some 10 days ago, I attended a gig of the dinosaur band Yes. 42:11.522 --> 42:15.964 The place was packed and the gig went well, but that's not the subject of this email. 42:19.266 --> 42:21.106 I'm not going to do that anymore. 42:22.647 --> 42:30.251 I want to inform you that at the beginning of the show and when the audience was sort of quiet, I dared to throw a Steven. 42:30.871 --> 42:33.052 Two things happened immediately right after that. 42:33.252 --> 42:37.653 A few rows behind my seat, a voice in laughter, responded, I'm coming. 42:37.673 --> 42:39.774 I couldn't believe what I'd just heard. 42:40.214 --> 42:43.315 I turned my head and there was a man giggling and pointing at me. 42:43.656 --> 42:45.516 Nobody else seemed to notice what had happened. 42:45.736 --> 42:49.998 The other surprising thing was that Steve Howe from Yes the Guitarist 42:50.698 --> 42:55.801 raised his eyebrows when he heard my Stephen, and I can swear he kind of giggled too. 42:56.181 --> 42:56.901 Can you believe it? 42:57.301 --> 43:01.844 By the way, there were no interruptions to the actual show due to Stephen shouting. 43:01.904 --> 43:04.825 This was a gig-safe Stephen, because Riccardo. 43:05.225 --> 43:07.206 Responsible Stephenage, that's what we like to hear. 43:07.506 --> 43:13.029 So could it be possible that Steve Howe from Prog Behemoth's Yes is aware of the Stephen phenomenon? 43:13.089 --> 43:13.710 I don't know. 43:13.870 --> 43:21.719 What I do know is that when you're in the audience for a big band like that, strange things happen between an audience member and the people on stage. 43:21.759 --> 43:26.505 Don't you think like it's a common phenomenon for one to think that the lead singer is singing directly to you? 43:26.525 --> 43:26.946 That's true. 43:27.466 --> 43:28.307 Even though they're not. 43:28.427 --> 43:28.588 Yeah. 43:29.008 --> 43:33.551 Or that somehow you're having a greater influence on their performance than, than anybody else. 43:33.631 --> 43:39.314 Because the likelihood is that when you're up on stage there and you're in the zone, you're not going to be thrown off your stroke by a bit of stamina. 43:39.334 --> 43:42.616 No, plus you can't really see the audience, can you at a gig like that? 43:42.636 --> 43:48.400 Because the lights are so bright, you can only see the first couple of rows, so you just look randomly into the lights. 43:48.480 --> 43:50.261 But what if, Steve, how is the exception? 43:50.561 --> 43:51.802 What's the evidence? 43:52.062 --> 43:53.442 He smiled very slightly. 43:53.482 --> 43:56.263 He raised his eyebrows slightly and sort of giggled. 43:58.584 --> 44:01.145 Well, in that case, who can argue with that? 44:01.265 --> 44:01.565 Okay. 44:01.805 --> 44:06.107 Now, here's the end of my Mexican segue because it takes us into our free play. 44:06.147 --> 44:08.048 This is a Mexican band or combo. 44:08.068 --> 44:09.588 I don't know exactly what the deal is with them. 44:09.608 --> 44:11.889 They're called Sonido Lacer Draca. 44:12.349 --> 44:15.290 And this is a track that I heard on YouTube. 44:15.911 --> 44:18.792 It was on a video by an amazing guy called Keith Lautet. 44:18.812 --> 44:19.232 That's me. 44:20.012 --> 44:21.172 Have you ever heard of Keith Lutet? 44:21.653 --> 44:21.853 No. 44:22.453 --> 44:23.793 L-O-U-T-I-T. 44:23.873 --> 44:25.794 I suggest you search for him listeners. 44:26.094 --> 44:40.179 He does these tilt shift videos where you've seen the technique on adverts where people film large vistas but make them look like tiny models by blurring the top and the bottom of the picture, right? 44:40.399 --> 44:42.900 Anyway, Keith Lutet does these amazing ones. 44:42.940 --> 44:44.621 You can see them online there. 44:44.861 --> 44:46.581 And this is a track that was on one of those. 44:46.721 --> 44:48.162 It's called I Feel Great. 44:48.482 --> 44:51.426 Oh yes, this is Adam and Joe here on BBC Six Music. 44:51.687 --> 44:52.828 Very nice to have you along. 44:53.128 --> 44:54.370 It's Valentine's Day. 44:54.490 --> 44:55.972 Couple of bits of housekeeping. 44:56.012 --> 44:57.695 Sorry to spring this on you, Joe. 44:58.235 --> 45:04.724 There was someone who emailed us about the dangers of using the double plug with the kettle and the toaster, wasn't there? 45:04.924 --> 45:05.365 There was. 45:05.425 --> 45:10.070 Apparently you're overloading a single socket by plugging in both a toaster and a kettle. 45:10.731 --> 45:15.135 It may result in the socket melting or your house burning down. 45:15.155 --> 45:17.358 I mean that seems unbelievable doesn't it? 45:17.838 --> 45:21.382 Well the person probably knows what they're talking about. 45:21.603 --> 45:21.923 Really? 45:22.303 --> 45:23.284 More than we do anyway. 45:23.485 --> 45:23.785 I dunno. 45:23.925 --> 45:25.987 It's not difficult to be an expert on this show, is it? 45:26.347 --> 45:28.769 Two 13 amp products, is it? 45:29.650 --> 45:32.753 You can't put them in the same plastic socket. 45:32.973 --> 45:33.253 Yes. 45:34.114 --> 45:35.635 I think you should be very careful there. 45:35.855 --> 45:37.597 Well, in that case, what I'm going to do, right? 45:37.837 --> 45:43.642 Billy on the canal that came from, from Billy on the canal, who has personal experience of not one, but two house fires. 45:43.862 --> 45:44.943 He lives on a canal. 45:45.103 --> 45:45.463 Yeah. 45:45.624 --> 45:45.904 What? 45:46.364 --> 45:47.305 What do you expect? 45:47.345 --> 45:49.587 He's probably in like some weird houseboat or something. 45:49.827 --> 45:53.652 Yeah, what you think he can have fires because it's got dodgy wiring around. 45:53.852 --> 45:54.313 Yeah. 45:55.123 --> 45:56.864 You know, we've got like a modern house and everything. 45:56.924 --> 45:58.724 You can be... I know, but you're not on a canal. 45:58.764 --> 46:02.186 You can be faster and looser with electrical issues if you're on a canal. 46:02.206 --> 46:03.226 Right, you reckon? 46:03.346 --> 46:05.707 Yeah, because you've got easy access to water to put it all out. 46:05.787 --> 46:06.227 Put it out. 46:06.487 --> 46:06.848 Fair enough. 46:06.928 --> 46:11.369 If you set the house on fire, you just roll the house, like in a canoe, you know? 46:11.589 --> 46:12.530 Yeah, yeah, there's a lever. 46:12.670 --> 46:14.050 Flip it over and dunk it. 46:14.070 --> 46:15.291 Pull the lever, it starts rolling. 46:15.311 --> 46:16.051 It comes back up. 46:16.311 --> 46:17.912 Like a drum in a washing machine. 46:17.932 --> 46:20.093 It's a fun place to live, but you're not on a canal. 46:20.373 --> 46:20.773 No, no. 46:21.033 --> 46:21.914 So you can't do that. 46:21.934 --> 46:22.794 Well, okay, how about this? 46:23.274 --> 46:37.024 Rather than putting two plugs in the same socket via a adapter, how about I splice the cables of the toaster and the kettle together and then just have the one plug at the end? 46:37.425 --> 46:38.666 That makes good sense to me. 46:39.366 --> 46:41.848 That would be a very stupid and dangerous thing to do. 46:42.669 --> 46:45.771 And that kind of chit chat is not permitted in the castle. 46:46.071 --> 46:46.912 Not even as a joke. 46:47.232 --> 46:48.293 No, not even as a joke. 46:48.613 --> 46:49.234 I'm sorry. 46:49.794 --> 46:51.556 Because the public are confused about jokes at the moment. 46:51.616 --> 46:53.078 Some of the public are stupid, aren't they? 46:53.178 --> 46:54.019 They're not stupid. 46:54.039 --> 46:57.963 The public just generally don't really, they've lost, they've lost their grip on what a joke is. 46:57.983 --> 46:58.964 They're not stupid. 46:59.304 --> 46:59.524 No. 46:59.724 --> 47:01.646 I said two bad things that have an eye about heck. 47:01.686 --> 47:02.027 You have. 47:02.047 --> 47:02.707 You're fired. 47:02.727 --> 47:03.628 Spicy red kettles. 47:03.648 --> 47:04.049 You're fired. 47:04.069 --> 47:04.749 And the toasters. 47:04.789 --> 47:05.110 Get out. 47:05.150 --> 47:06.291 Shall I get my papers? 47:06.551 --> 47:06.711 Yes. 47:06.751 --> 47:07.252 Here's the news. 47:07.512 --> 47:10.974 That was The Bomb by New Young Pony Club. 47:11.134 --> 47:12.295 They're a real band! 47:12.535 --> 47:14.876 This is Adam and Joe here on BBC Six Music. 47:15.156 --> 47:19.719 So, Adam and listeners, imagine you've got a 17-year-old daughter. 47:20.419 --> 47:22.300 You're very protective of her. 47:22.801 --> 47:24.522 Well, one day I will have a 17-year-old daughter. 47:24.742 --> 47:26.223 Well, cast your mind forward. 47:27.223 --> 47:31.245 And maybe in that future scenario you're not a radio DJ anymore. 47:31.265 --> 47:31.385 What?! ! 47:32.406 --> 47:36.868 you're an ex-military man and bodyguard, what could be termed a preventer. 47:37.528 --> 47:43.671 You prevent things from happening, you're highly trained and skilled in martial arts and the killing of people, of bad people. 47:43.751 --> 47:55.156 So this 17-year-old daughter who you're very protective over announces to you one day, you're divorced and she now lives with her posh mother and stepdad, so you feel even more protective towards her. 47:55.576 --> 48:01.459 She announces one day that she wants to go to Paris for the summer because some cousins of hers 48:02.139 --> 48:09.931 have invited her over to Paris and they've got a great apartment overlooking the Seine and she wants to explore the city of Croissant. 48:10.072 --> 48:12.155 She wants to explore the city of Croissant. 48:12.235 --> 48:13.297 She's very into art. 48:13.417 --> 48:15.400 She wants to go to La Louvre. 48:15.680 --> 48:16.702 What would your response be? 48:18.023 --> 48:21.286 Um, and I am an ex-military preventer man. 48:21.506 --> 48:21.726 Yes. 48:22.026 --> 48:22.327 Yes. 48:23.027 --> 48:25.809 I would say there's no way that you can go. 48:26.149 --> 48:26.349 Right. 48:26.489 --> 48:36.416 Well, that's interesting because the scenario I just described to you is the scenario of a new exciting thriller that's out on DVD this week called Taken starring Liam Neeson. 48:36.537 --> 48:38.258 I think the way to pronounce the name is Liam Neeson. 48:40.800 --> 48:46.524 Listen, in Taken he plays a preventer man whose daughter wants to go on holiday to Paris. 48:47.185 --> 48:50.047 And this is Liam's response to that question. 48:58.066 --> 49:00.288 Putting our daughter at risk by going to Paris? 49:00.689 --> 49:01.430 You're pathetic. 49:02.531 --> 49:03.832 The wife thinks it's pathetic. 49:03.912 --> 49:05.514 She thinks he's being overprotective. 49:05.554 --> 49:10.239 What's wrong with letting your 17-year-old daughter have a holiday in Paris? 49:10.300 --> 49:13.563 So eventually, Liam concedes. 49:13.683 --> 49:19.149 He lets the daughter go to Paris on the insistence that she calls him every night and every morning. 49:20.030 --> 49:22.331 and that he can drop her off at the airport. 49:22.792 --> 49:25.293 But when he gets to the airport, have you seen this film, Adam? 49:25.333 --> 49:25.593 Yeah. 49:25.974 --> 49:30.776 You might remember when he gets to the airport, it turns out that a piece of information is being withheld from him. 49:31.077 --> 49:31.497 Right. 49:31.597 --> 49:33.298 She's not just going to Paris. 49:33.758 --> 49:34.719 This is what's happening. 49:35.059 --> 49:36.380 Lenore, you know about this. 49:36.560 --> 49:37.820 She's not just going to Paris. 49:38.181 --> 49:38.901 She lied to me. 49:39.181 --> 49:39.802 What is this? 49:40.062 --> 49:41.803 It's U2's European tour date. 49:42.183 --> 49:44.004 She's following a rock band around Europe. 49:44.204 --> 49:46.725 All the kids do, so we've arranged for her this day in the best hotels. 49:46.846 --> 49:47.766 Best hotels? 49:48.366 --> 49:50.328 You know, you live in your little bubble here. 49:50.428 --> 49:51.808 You have no idea what the world is like anymore. 49:51.828 --> 49:54.410 Yes, and neither will she, unless she goes out and experiences it. 49:54.878 --> 49:56.719 That's the mum, Lenore. 49:56.879 --> 49:57.160 Yeah. 49:57.320 --> 49:59.661 She's called, named after a popular fabric softener. 50:00.502 --> 50:02.703 So she's not going to stay in Paris after all. 50:02.803 --> 50:05.345 She's going to follow the band U2 around Europe. 50:05.405 --> 50:07.146 It's a rite of passage for many teenagers. 50:07.186 --> 50:07.747 But she's only 17. 50:07.987 --> 50:10.388 And the world is a cesspool. 50:10.709 --> 50:12.410 Well, she's going to stay in the best hotels. 50:12.770 --> 50:14.151 The best hotels. 50:14.191 --> 50:15.372 You live in your little bubble. 50:15.392 --> 50:17.513 You've got no idea what the real world is like. 50:17.633 --> 50:21.436 The rock band U2 have got very strong connections to Christianity. 50:21.476 --> 50:23.277 They wouldn't let anything bad happen to their fans. 50:23.577 --> 50:24.158 Do you think? 50:24.338 --> 50:24.538 Yes. 50:25.118 --> 50:38.649 Well, of course, in the film taken, the second the daughter gets to Paris, she's picked up at the airport by an apparently nice-looking French boy, who turns out to be in league with foreign sex traffickers. 50:38.749 --> 50:39.170 That's right. 50:39.230 --> 50:42.873 And within, what, 45 seconds, the daughter's being kidnapped. 50:43.113 --> 50:43.253 Yeah. 50:43.573 --> 51:08.878 and dragged away but luckily she's on the phone while it happens so she's on the phone in her so-called apartment and these thugs sex traffickers are dragging her friend away but she's got Liam on on the other end of the line let's hear that Kim is there anything else you want to tell me give me her cousins are back oh my god they got a man there 51:19.625 --> 51:21.545 She's being tracked away there by the kidnappers. 51:21.625 --> 51:23.345 Sounds like there were some ghosts in there as well. 51:23.465 --> 51:24.686 They're haunted kidnappers. 51:25.486 --> 51:29.406 So of course this results in quite an excitingly absurd revenge thriller. 51:29.546 --> 51:33.047 Yeah, Liam has to get out there and do some extreme kicking and punching. 51:33.327 --> 51:34.827 He wastes absolutely no time. 51:34.867 --> 51:36.368 It's as if he wanted it to happen. 51:36.968 --> 51:37.448 Don't you think? 51:37.768 --> 51:46.435 Well, the great thing, I don't know if you are going to say this or not about this film, but it moves in a straight line in a very weirdly satisfying way. 51:46.856 --> 51:49.898 Almost nothing impedes the progress of Liam and his revenge. 51:50.499 --> 51:56.464 He's entirely successful in killing about 500,000 people who stand between him and his daughter, one after the next, yeah. 51:57.345 --> 52:05.271 It's a ridiculous film, but it would have been more exciting if they'd done something more obvious with the plot, like she's going around Europe 52:06.132 --> 52:07.052 following you too. 52:07.612 --> 52:10.553 She's kidnapped by an evil man who... The edge. 52:11.293 --> 52:12.774 Well, I was thinking something else. 52:12.934 --> 52:17.215 You know there's a famous bit when Liam picks up the phone to the killer very early on. 52:17.295 --> 52:17.555 Yes. 52:17.775 --> 52:23.476 So just as the daughter's been kidnapped, she drops the mobile phone on the ground and the kidnapper picks it up. 52:23.816 --> 52:24.036 Right. 52:24.096 --> 52:27.677 And he has what's gonna become quite a famous conversation with him. 52:27.697 --> 52:28.757 They use it in the trailer. 52:28.897 --> 52:29.077 Yeah. 52:29.117 --> 52:32.198 Where he just immediately threatens to kill him. 52:32.498 --> 52:32.658 Yeah. 52:33.038 --> 52:36.459 And it would be more interesting perhaps if that conversation went a bit like this. 52:37.279 --> 52:38.380 I don't know who you are. 52:38.700 --> 52:39.580 I don't know what you want. 52:39.600 --> 52:41.101 Hello, my name's Bono. 52:41.421 --> 52:44.262 If you're looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. 52:44.282 --> 52:46.382 I'm not asking you for your money. 52:46.882 --> 52:49.703 But what I do have are a very particular set of skills. 52:50.083 --> 52:52.864 Being a band requires skills. 52:53.425 --> 52:55.665 If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. 52:56.265 --> 52:58.386 But if you don't, I will look for you. 52:58.546 --> 52:59.406 Oh god. 52:59.567 --> 53:00.287 I will find you. 53:09.156 --> 53:10.336 Wouldn't that be a better film? 53:10.836 --> 53:11.477 That would be amazing. 53:11.497 --> 53:14.058 If he had to work his way across Europe to kill Bono. 53:14.578 --> 53:15.159 That would be brilliant. 53:15.219 --> 53:19.441 It's like there's got to be a spate of films like that after JCVD, wouldn't you think? 53:19.561 --> 53:24.443 Right, which is the new film in which Jean-Claude Van Damme plays himself involved in a hostage situation. 53:24.483 --> 53:24.684 Yeah. 53:24.884 --> 53:29.126 To recontextualise someone like Bono with his skills and fame profile, 53:29.426 --> 53:30.867 I know he's got to be evil, hasn't he? 53:30.887 --> 53:37.610 Or that would be a satisfying dramatic twist if instead of being the world's most altruistic man, he turned out to be an evil teen sex trafficker. 53:37.790 --> 53:38.030 Yeah. 53:38.650 --> 53:40.651 I don't know if Bono would go for it. 53:41.011 --> 53:41.631 I think he might. 53:41.651 --> 53:42.752 He's got a sense of humor. 53:43.012 --> 53:43.772 Yeah, that's true. 53:43.952 --> 53:44.813 Maybe we should write it. 53:44.973 --> 53:45.873 Did you enjoy Take Him? 53:46.073 --> 53:46.293 Yes. 53:46.594 --> 53:47.894 It was enjoyable, wasn't it? 53:48.134 --> 53:52.376 It's reprehensible and pathetic, but strangely enjoyable. 53:52.516 --> 53:52.896 A bit like 24. 53:54.337 --> 53:56.498 Same kind of kick you get from it, a guilty kick. 53:57.110 --> 53:58.051 There you go, film news. 53:58.572 --> 54:00.754 Right now it's time for the Kings of Leon. 54:00.774 --> 54:01.435 This is revelry. 54:01.735 --> 54:02.976 That is the Kooks. 54:03.056 --> 54:04.678 Was that a live session or something? 54:04.698 --> 54:05.459 You don't love me. 54:05.499 --> 54:06.100 It was live. 54:06.600 --> 54:08.683 Yes, sounded very, very stripped down indeed. 54:08.723 --> 54:12.387 That was recorded in the hub for Gideon Ko on the 14th of July 2005. 54:13.668 --> 54:15.210 I didn't know the Kooks were around in 2005 even. 54:17.486 --> 54:19.887 So many years, so many kooks. 54:21.988 --> 54:23.888 That was, yeah, You Don't Love Me. 54:24.228 --> 54:27.729 And right now, I think, are we going to launch Text-a-Nation? 54:28.130 --> 54:28.690 Why don't we? 54:28.730 --> 54:30.050 Yeah, because we're a bit late. 54:30.090 --> 54:31.111 We're like an hour late. 54:31.171 --> 54:32.191 Yeah, well, never mind. 54:32.211 --> 54:33.671 It's one of those kind of shows, though, isn't it? 54:33.692 --> 54:34.372 Yeah, it is. 54:34.672 --> 54:36.492 Let's plunge ourselves into Text-a-Nation. 54:38.953 --> 54:39.694 Text-a-Nation. 54:39.814 --> 54:40.914 Text, text, text. 54:40.994 --> 54:41.714 Text-a-Nation. 54:41.794 --> 54:42.755 What if I don't want to? 54:43.015 --> 54:43.755 Text-a-Nation. 54:43.815 --> 54:44.815 But I'm using email. 54:44.975 --> 54:45.736 Is that a problem? 54:45.756 --> 54:46.316 It doesn't matter. 54:46.356 --> 54:46.596 Text. 54:49.301 --> 54:53.583 Yes, we've delayed Text the Nation this week, listeners, because the texts keep breaking. 54:53.603 --> 54:54.824 They've broken again. 54:54.844 --> 54:56.664 The screen keeps going white. 54:57.085 --> 55:05.769 But we decided we'd sort of do a slight sort of variation on last week's Text the Nation, which was annoying things that your partner does. 55:06.569 --> 55:16.894 We were going to switch it round to ask you this week to send us annoying things you deliberately do, so things you enjoy doing to your partner. 55:17.674 --> 55:19.414 consciously to wind them up. 55:19.855 --> 55:21.055 Not really horrible things. 55:21.095 --> 55:22.055 Not horrible places. 55:22.255 --> 55:38.979 For instance, what I like to do to Annabelle, my girlfriend, if she's lying on the sofa watching telly and there's just an air of sort of boredom and a lack of fizz in the house, is I like to come in and grab her by the feet and then pull her off 55:39.699 --> 55:50.744 the sofa, not violently, gently, but relentlessly, pull her off the sofa, then across the sitting room, so she usually rucks up the carpet and brings the carpet with her. 55:50.764 --> 55:52.705 So you do this slowly so her head doesn't slam on the floor. 55:52.725 --> 55:54.406 Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm not hurting her in any way. 55:54.466 --> 55:56.506 She's usually giggling and going, what are you doing? 55:56.606 --> 55:56.847 Yeah. 55:57.067 --> 56:04.190 I pull her all the way across the front room, out into the hall, down the hall, into the kitchen, 56:04.890 --> 56:09.171 And she's got the carpet with her and any other shoes or stuff that's been gathered. 56:09.531 --> 56:11.612 And then I just leave her in the corner. 56:12.212 --> 56:13.933 And then go, what are you doing there? 56:14.613 --> 56:16.534 And then ask her what she's doing in the corner. 56:17.034 --> 56:18.594 Why have you got the carpet with you? 56:18.694 --> 56:20.615 And does she play along with you at that point? 56:20.655 --> 56:21.915 She's giggling at this point. 56:22.155 --> 56:22.695 Good times. 56:22.875 --> 56:26.276 And then I just walk away and leave her and go about my business. 56:27.057 --> 56:28.677 But it puts a bit of pep into the day. 56:28.817 --> 56:29.137 Sure. 56:29.397 --> 56:31.998 So that to her might be a very annoying habit of mine. 56:32.138 --> 56:34.039 By the end of that, you're probably both quite turned on. 56:35.099 --> 56:35.600 Possibly. 56:35.800 --> 56:36.300 Possibly. 56:37.041 --> 56:37.321 Sorry. 56:37.641 --> 56:38.462 But then I saw it. 56:38.963 --> 56:42.285 But then I've lost my train of thought now. 56:42.345 --> 56:42.626 Sorry. 56:43.066 --> 56:46.008 I'm terribly sorry to bring the topic on to a rough day. 56:46.028 --> 56:49.691 I'm terribly sorry to mention rough day. 56:50.572 --> 56:53.675 I imagine you're both quite turned on at that point. 56:53.895 --> 56:57.798 You could say that at any point during any anecdote. 56:57.838 --> 56:58.899 During the news. 56:58.919 --> 57:01.101 And I imagine that turns you both on. 57:01.881 --> 57:05.023 And at this point, were you both quite turned on? 57:07.725 --> 57:13.028 Mr. Obama, can I ask you, were you, at that point, very turned on? 57:13.348 --> 57:14.709 Do you do anything like that? 57:14.769 --> 57:17.670 Do you enjoy doing anything like that to your partner? 57:18.030 --> 57:20.572 Is there anything you do that wines are up that you enjoy doing? 57:20.992 --> 57:26.255 I don't know, because a lot of what I do wines are up accidentally, so to do something deliberately would seem excessive. 57:27.216 --> 57:28.156 I'm trying to think. 57:31.298 --> 57:35.403 Well, I just point out the annoying things that she does and I laugh about them. 57:35.463 --> 57:36.163 Does that count? 57:36.584 --> 57:37.485 I'm not sure it does. 57:37.765 --> 57:39.267 Maybe you should have a bit more of a think. 57:39.747 --> 57:41.129 We'll both have a bit more of a think. 57:41.489 --> 57:51.680 But if you can think of any stuff that you do on purpose that really winds up your partner, then give us a text on 64046 or email adamandjo.6musicatbbc.co.uk. 57:53.081 --> 57:54.203 Is this going to work, do you think? 57:54.523 --> 57:55.264 Yeah, it's going to be good. 57:55.324 --> 57:55.604 Is it? 57:55.644 --> 58:01.191 There's just an atmosphere of general stinkage around the Texas Nation area this week. 58:01.211 --> 58:01.812 No, no, no, no. 58:01.912 --> 58:02.332 No, no, no. 58:02.372 --> 58:03.053 Put that out of your mind. 58:03.073 --> 58:03.834 This is a good one. 58:03.934 --> 58:04.174 Is it? 58:04.355 --> 58:06.537 Things you deliberately do to annoy your partner. 58:06.557 --> 58:07.478 We could write a book about it. 58:07.558 --> 58:07.879 Really? 58:07.919 --> 58:08.259 Yeah. 58:08.539 --> 58:09.200 Well, let's see what happens. 58:09.220 --> 58:10.322 It's going to be a really good book. 58:11.203 --> 58:13.106 Right now, this is your free play, Joe. 58:13.126 --> 58:13.747 What have you got for us?

Yeah. 01:24:53.672 --> 01:24:55.014 It's a terrible song. 01:24:55.254 --> 01:24:55.995 I mean, we should play it. 01:24:56.015 --> 01:24:59.699 She's done it like so she's deliberately censored it herself. 01:25:00.019 --> 01:25:00.299 Right. 01:25:01.040 --> 01:25:02.001 So it's playable. 01:25:02.341 --> 01:25:03.062 It's playable. 01:25:03.082 --> 01:25:03.783 Yeah, exactly. 01:25:04.103 --> 01:25:09.669 So she begins to do the swear and then she puts kind of crazy farmyard noises and stuff over it. 01:25:10.430 --> 01:25:11.170 It's rubbish. 01:25:11.210 --> 01:25:12.991 You think, what's the point of doing that? 01:25:13.011 --> 01:25:15.112 Because you don't get the satisfaction of the swear. 01:25:15.452 --> 01:25:16.852 It's not edgy in any way. 01:25:17.273 --> 01:25:19.894 You've censored it in a really goofy, childish way. 01:25:20.714 --> 01:25:22.775 But maybe I'm just too old and I'm missing the point. 01:25:23.055 --> 01:25:23.495 Is that right? 01:25:23.755 --> 01:25:24.335 Yeah, that's right. 01:25:24.355 --> 01:25:26.256 You're too old and you're missing the point. 01:25:26.356 --> 01:25:28.977 I didn't hear the first bit, but that last bit is definitely spot on. 01:25:29.717 --> 01:25:33.820 We're still getting loads of annoying things people do to each other, but we've sort of run out of time. 01:25:34.341 --> 01:25:40.046 It's crossed our mind to have a retrospective segment for the previous week's Text the Nation the next week. 01:25:40.186 --> 01:25:41.427 Or to do some catch-ups. 01:25:41.727 --> 01:25:50.114 Lots of people email stuff in during the week, people who only listen to the podcast, and they feel a bit left out because they can't email to the live show, but would that be too much to do? 01:25:50.174 --> 01:25:55.418 No, I mean, that's what I was trying to do earlier in the programme, was catch up on some of those, but it just went badly for me. 01:25:55.538 --> 01:25:56.698 Just needs more organisation. 01:25:56.718 --> 01:25:58.119 Yeah, well maybe we'll try that. 01:25:58.959 --> 01:26:01.040 But we should set something up for next week listeners. 01:26:01.060 --> 01:26:07.982 You might remember months and months ago when we first started on 6 Music, we had a text the nation on the subject of Juvenilia. 01:26:08.442 --> 01:26:10.383 Stuff that you've created as a child. 01:26:10.723 --> 01:26:12.604 It was what started the whole Steven thing. 01:26:12.724 --> 01:26:13.204 Exactly. 01:26:13.644 --> 01:26:16.606 comics you'd written, or stuff like that. 01:26:16.626 --> 01:26:21.969 And we're thinking of doing it again next week, to ask you to send in your juvenilea once more. 01:26:22.429 --> 01:26:27.432 So, but we thought we'd focus it in a bit more on recordings. 01:26:27.572 --> 01:26:30.473 Right, specifically audio recordings that you made as a child. 01:26:30.854 --> 01:26:38.298 So either you singing perhaps, or, well, Joe and myself, I think, have both got recordings of us pretending to be radio teachers. 01:26:38.318 --> 01:26:40.179 Yeah, I was digging through cassettes. 01:26:41.199 --> 01:27:05.074 This week a couple of days ago I got all my cassettes out from the attic And I found I didn't have anything to play them on there were no cassette players left in my house So I had to go and buy a little 20 pound cassette recorder thing won't be able to do that much longer No, I was lucky I I felt lucky to find one so easily and I plugged it into my computer And I was starting to burn off some of my old tapes, you know on to make turn them into mp3 files, right? 01:27:05.234 --> 01:27:05.794 But I came across 01:27:05.794 --> 01:27:10.999 across a copy of the Four Bucketeers album, the Tiswas album on cassette. 01:27:11.760 --> 01:27:24.932 And as a kid I discovered that thing that people of our generation discovered as a huge revelation that you could tape over the holes in the top of a cassette and turn a manufactured album into a blank cassette basically. 01:27:25.092 --> 01:27:27.354 Exactly, but not a very good quality one. 01:27:27.515 --> 01:27:27.995 A low quality 01:27:28.135 --> 01:27:31.358 but at least cheaper than actually going to Smiths and buying a new cassette. 01:27:31.398 --> 01:27:31.558 Right. 01:27:31.758 --> 01:27:37.763 So over the four bucketeers, I'd recorded 60 minutes of me pretending to be a radio DJ. 01:27:37.783 --> 01:27:39.384 I can't believe you taped over the bucketeers. 01:27:39.484 --> 01:27:39.844 I know. 01:27:39.864 --> 01:27:42.546 Wait till you hear what I taped over it as well. 01:27:42.606 --> 01:27:43.907 You're going to bring that in next week. 01:27:43.927 --> 01:27:44.648 You're going to bring it in. 01:27:44.688 --> 01:27:48.391 It's an hour of me, I'm not going to play, an hour, I'll just play you the most embarrassing highlights. 01:27:48.411 --> 01:27:49.091 Are you going to play it now? 01:27:49.632 --> 01:27:54.295 A little squeaky high voice pretending to be a DJ introducing 80s records. 01:27:54.456 --> 01:27:56.097 Very, very posh young boy. 01:27:56.817 --> 01:27:58.298 And it's really embarrassing. 01:27:58.438 --> 01:27:59.459 Bet you weren't posher than me. 01:27:59.979 --> 01:28:00.940 Well, we're going to find out. 01:28:01.140 --> 01:28:02.601 I'm going to try and find some stuff of me. 01:28:02.641 --> 01:28:08.405 I remember record, I used to listen to, my tactic was to listen to Radio 2, which my mum listened to a lot. 01:28:08.445 --> 01:28:10.386 So there's lots of Terry Wogan and stuff like that. 01:28:10.886 --> 01:28:15.649 But then I would dip down, when he started speaking, I would dip it down and I would do the talking. 01:28:15.669 --> 01:28:16.270 That's clever. 01:28:16.390 --> 01:28:17.130 Use his records. 01:28:17.290 --> 01:28:17.811 Yeah, yeah. 01:28:18.351 --> 01:28:38.524 So if you listeners have done anything similar, if you, when you were a kid, pretended to be on the radio, had your own fake radio station, or any kind of ambitious pathetic childhood media escapades that you still have evidence of, we'd be keen to hear about, the email is adamandjoe.sixmusicatbbc.co.uk. 01:28:40.645 --> 01:28:46.028 Yes, that's the best way for them to...
