No, I don't, I think there's not enough places in the radio and TV where people are honest about things. 02:05.872 --> 02:07.372 Well, then you've got nowhere to go, have you? 02:07.432 --> 02:08.832 It's nice having rules sometimes. 02:08.892 --> 02:12.473 You can say what you like in your own time, but when you're talking to loads of people, 02:14.147 --> 02:15.088 I don't know. 02:15.128 --> 02:20.074 Anyway, let's drop it now because I think we're going to get more band-aid flogging on Justin's show. 02:20.094 --> 02:21.836 I look forward to hearing that. 02:21.856 --> 02:26.041 The main thing I'm worried about is that I purchased some DVDs this week. 02:26.121 --> 02:31.126 I've been trying to hold off buying DVDs for a while, yeah, because it was getting out of control for a while. 02:31.847 --> 02:33.888 But then this week I just went. 02:33.908 --> 02:37.591 Well, it's all kicking off for the Christmas season, all the good stuff's being released. 02:37.711 --> 02:39.352 Well, good, inverted commas. 02:39.832 --> 02:40.933 I got Harry Potter. 02:42.434 --> 02:43.634 What's it, The Prisoner of Azkaban? 02:43.774 --> 02:44.034 Yes. 02:44.755 --> 02:48.497 And I don't know why I got it, because I did go through a sort of Harry Potter phase. 02:48.577 --> 02:49.458 Is it not for the kiddies? 02:50.103 --> 02:50.543 Yeah. 02:51.104 --> 02:52.804 I suppose you're looking forward to watching it yourself. 02:52.844 --> 02:53.765 Yeah. 02:54.325 --> 02:57.947 Because I tell you what, the second one was better than the first one. 02:57.967 --> 03:00.368 The first one was unwatchable, in my opinion. 03:00.968 --> 03:02.289 Second one, not so bad. 03:03.710 --> 03:05.230 And it was pretty enjoyable. 03:05.690 --> 03:07.751 But then I don't know why I bought The Prisoner of Azkaban. 03:07.792 --> 03:08.472 It's rubbish, isn't it? 03:08.772 --> 03:10.353 Yeah, we've discussed it on this show before. 03:10.413 --> 03:10.693 Have we? 03:11.433 --> 03:13.874 I wouldn't say, it's a bit dismissive to say it's rubbish. 03:14.754 --> 03:19.456 It looks very nice, and it's a little more atmospheric than the others, but the story's a stinker. 03:19.676 --> 03:19.916 Is it? 03:20.196 --> 03:20.516 Yeah. 03:20.576 --> 03:21.537 That was the best book, though. 03:21.737 --> 03:28.119 Because I read the books, but then the last one that came out, the really massive one, made me just think, what the hell have I been doing? 03:28.139 --> 03:29.480 It's for kids, it's for little kids. 03:29.740 --> 03:32.621 I know, but even for, you know, stuff for children is pretty good. 03:32.641 --> 03:35.222 The problem with the films is they're too reverential towards the books. 03:35.442 --> 03:37.963 What needs to be happened is the books need to be eviscerated. 03:38.783 --> 03:47.329 concentrated and sort of rewritten but they don't, they just try and cram everything in the films and as a result they make no sense and go on forever and then are resolved by a girl with a time travel necklace. 03:47.769 --> 03:50.071 Oh that sounds good you see, the way you described it now. 03:50.611 --> 03:52.552 The other film I bought was I, Robot. 03:52.612 --> 03:57.216 Now I did try to watch that last night and it was torture. 03:57.276 --> 03:58.517 Yeah, I saw that at the cinema. 03:58.857 --> 03:59.777 It looks like... What? 04:00.198 --> 04:00.438 What? 04:00.638 --> 04:04.120 It looks like a... Lila, are they XFM sponsored by I, Robot? 04:04.140 --> 04:04.180 No. 04:05.201 --> 04:07.863 Have we got some sort of a tie in... Do you love Will Smith? 04:09.096 --> 04:11.077 What's your worries about slagging off iRobot? 04:11.517 --> 04:14.279 We might be giving away iRobot. 04:14.319 --> 04:18.020 Hey, I tell you what, we can give away my copy of iRobot right now. 04:18.040 --> 04:20.441 I saw it with a friend, my friend loved it. 04:20.782 --> 04:21.022 Really? 04:21.162 --> 04:22.182 I wasn't so excited. 04:22.202 --> 04:23.123 Was your friend Will Smith? 04:23.303 --> 04:25.784 No, there's no doubt about that it's got lots of digital effects. 04:26.144 --> 04:27.985 Most people are just happy with that these days. 04:28.145 --> 04:29.026 I know, come on. 04:29.106 --> 04:30.046 Well, no, I'm not one of them. 04:30.126 --> 04:31.667 I don't believe that's true for a second. 04:32.127 --> 04:33.248 It looks like... 04:34.108 --> 04:51.131 animation tests it looks like a load of sort of animation tests intercut with a bit of sort of soft core gay porn with basically long lingering shots of Will Smith's extraordinary body in the shower that's only at the beginning it pops up a bit later as well yeah yeah 04:51.972 --> 04:56.693 It's something for the ladies, I suppose, but, oh, dear me, it's just inexhaustible. 04:57.234 --> 05:02.275 And it goes on and on and on, and it's dreadful, and the robots are rubbish, and you just think, who cares? 05:02.315 --> 05:08.197 And it's got this, the girl in it, his sort of love interest, who's, I imagine she turns out to be a robot, is that right? 05:08.777 --> 05:11.018 Well, you shouldn't give it away, people get upset when we give stuff away. 05:11.698 --> 05:13.499 But I'm not sure I'm going to make it to the end of the film. 05:13.559 --> 05:18.123 At the moment I'm watching it, and the love interest is this woman who's all icy cold and she works for the robot company. 05:18.803 --> 05:22.406 And I'm guessing that she turns out to be some kind of boring cyborg. 05:22.426 --> 05:23.927 So I'll tell you the worst thing I thought in it. 05:24.167 --> 05:24.307 What? 05:24.327 --> 05:27.529 Well, you know, it's got the kid from Holes, and he's in some children's TV. 05:27.609 --> 05:30.191 Sheba Beowulf, he's in some children's TV series. 05:30.231 --> 05:31.232 He's good, that guy. 05:31.292 --> 05:33.353 Yeah, he's quite a good sort of teenage actor. 05:33.593 --> 05:36.516 And he's in it, he says one line to Will Smith at the beginning, 05:37.296 --> 05:40.879 And then only because, at the end, he very nearly gets squashed by a robot. 05:41.179 --> 05:45.964 Because there's no other characters in the film, there's basically... That's the problem, it's a thriller with only three or four characters. 05:46.744 --> 05:50.147 So it's not very satisfactory as a whodunit, there's only a couple of people who could have done it. 05:50.768 --> 05:52.089 And one of them's... yeah. 05:52.429 --> 05:53.330 And they're all robots. 05:54.480 --> 05:54.760 Are they? 05:54.820 --> 05:55.261 I don't know. 05:55.321 --> 05:55.881 It was just so boring. 05:55.901 --> 05:56.502 I can't be bothered. 05:56.522 --> 05:57.422 It was dreadful. 05:57.462 --> 05:58.443 It was so disappointing. 05:58.463 --> 06:00.505 I was all excited about a blockbuster. 06:00.545 --> 06:02.526 I'm keeping Elf for Christmas. 06:02.566 --> 06:03.207 That's going to be the big film. 06:03.227 --> 06:03.887 Have you not seen that yet? 06:03.987 --> 06:09.992 I have seen it, but I bought it on DVD and that's going to be like we have a film each Christmas day when my family come round. 06:10.973 --> 06:12.054 And I'm going for Elf this year. 06:12.074 --> 06:12.974 It's a bit common, isn't it? 06:12.994 --> 06:13.214 What? 06:13.234 --> 06:13.815 It's a bit common. 06:13.995 --> 06:14.275 Why? 06:14.315 --> 06:15.356 There's nothing good on telly. 06:15.376 --> 06:16.677 What about talking to each other? 06:17.418 --> 06:23.943 Well, we do that as well, but there's always a part when my past sort of passes out from excessive consumption of Christmas pudding. 06:24.423 --> 06:27.385 And then it's really nice to sit there and get a bit sozzled and watch a film. 06:27.445 --> 06:29.466 What about the big ITV movie? 06:30.267 --> 06:31.688 Because the whole country's watching that. 06:31.728 --> 06:32.228 No they're not. 06:32.248 --> 06:35.670 What about EastEnders when Dirty Den hatchets someone's head off or something? 06:35.710 --> 06:36.490 Not into it. 06:36.531 --> 06:37.031 Not into it. 06:37.071 --> 06:39.032 They never pick a movie I want to see on Christmas Day. 06:39.072 --> 06:40.313 What about Noel's Christmas presents? 06:40.413 --> 06:42.394 Does that happen anymore from the top of the BT Tower? 06:42.714 --> 06:43.095 Yeah. 06:43.115 --> 06:44.275 We did that stuff in the 80s. 06:44.395 --> 06:45.016 That should happen. 06:45.036 --> 06:45.816 That used to be good. 06:45.836 --> 06:47.437 Noel can't be found anywhere on telly. 06:47.477 --> 06:49.659 What about messages from servicemen's relatives? 06:50.419 --> 06:51.200 That still happens. 06:51.280 --> 06:51.621 Does it? 06:51.701 --> 06:53.022 It's nothing like that. 06:53.383 --> 06:54.284 That's all in the morning. 06:54.324 --> 06:56.306 I'm not boycotting any of these. 06:56.346 --> 06:57.988 I just want a guaranteed smash. 06:58.309 --> 06:59.850 Like last year we had Meet the Parents. 07:00.051 --> 07:00.511 Brilliant. 07:00.551 --> 07:02.293 That was a brilliant film for Christmas Day. 07:02.634 --> 07:05.217 And then we had Shawshank Redemption a few years ago. 07:05.277 --> 07:05.958 That was a good one. 07:06.497 --> 07:14.040 Because it's films that have to cross the boundaries in the family and stuff that my dad won't immediately start ranting about and saying, this is dreadful. 07:14.561 --> 07:16.001 I think he's going to dig Elf, what do you reckon? 07:16.582 --> 07:17.562 Yeah, I think so, Elf, it's very good. 07:18.583 --> 07:20.844 This is Adam and Joe, our next fan will be back after this. 07:32.649 --> 07:35.030 Shall we dedicate that to the inhabitants of Picton Island?

09:33.752 --> 09:38.633 The poetry of the very young, I just think is often excellent. 09:39.033 --> 09:47.455 Like this, this was written by a young girl called Anna Burns, aged 10, it was written a long time ago, 1984, and it's called Monkeys. 09:48.095 --> 09:54.337 Monkeys are furry animals, swinging from branch to branch, like a, like a monkey I suppose. 09:55.037 --> 10:02.904 They eat their bananas on high branches, dropping the peel and watching it fall as a monkey would, I suppose. 10:03.565 --> 10:09.831 When people watch them in the zoo, they act, they act, they act like monkeys do. 10:10.211 --> 10:11.252 Oh, no, okay. 10:11.292 --> 10:12.092 She flipped it round. 10:12.132 --> 10:12.332 Yeah. 10:12.492 --> 10:17.475 Yeah foolish us Is she like it's a sort of a hip-hop poem isn't it sort of scratch scratching in it?

11:04.221 --> 11:06.904 I'm multi skilled. 11:07.265 --> 11:09.267 In fact, Venice doesn't do my drawing justice. 11:09.407 --> 11:10.589 How long did that take you? 11:11.490 --> 11:12.491 Probably seconds. 11:12.571 --> 11:13.272 Yeah. 11:13.412 --> 11:18.258 Well, it's called the article is called Venice, a peopled labyrinth of walls. 11:18.338 --> 11:18.739 Cornish. 11:18.959 --> 11:19.919 And that's a quote though, isn't it? 11:19.939 --> 11:20.520 You didn't make that up. 11:20.540 --> 11:21.180 Yeah, I didn't make that up. 11:21.220 --> 11:22.941 That's a literary quote, Adam Buxton. 11:23.041 --> 11:32.085 But I thought at the risk of... I hope I won't be embarrassing you by reading out some extracts from this extraordinary piece of writing by the young J.M. 11:32.145 --> 11:32.565 Cornish. 11:32.606 --> 11:32.966 Thank you. 11:33.206 --> 11:36.307 And I've set certain sections to appropriate music. 11:36.627 --> 11:36.948 Well done. 11:36.988 --> 11:37.168 Good. 11:37.428 --> 11:37.888 Here we go. 11:37.968 --> 11:41.510 This is extracts from Venice, a peopled labyrinth of walls by J.M. 11:41.570 --> 11:41.930 Cornish. 11:44.562 --> 11:48.606 It would be untrue to say that my father was a man who was prone to mistakes. 11:49.267 --> 11:51.109 In fact, the opposite could have been said. 11:51.849 --> 11:55.973 He had planned our trip to Venice with great detail, and there would be no time to spare. 11:56.574 --> 12:04.982 But as we stood beside the check-in at Gatwick and realized that he had brought my brother's passport by mistake, I started to doubt the simplicity of our journey. 12:06.003 --> 12:07.485 Oh, it's a devastating opening, isn't it? 12:07.505 --> 12:07.965 That's good, isn't it? 12:08.005 --> 12:08.506 That's good. 12:08.706 --> 12:15.833 That's absolutely amazing, but then it gets really... You stop wheeling out your incredible poetic prose. 12:15.873 --> 12:17.355 Later on in the article we've got this. 12:18.556 --> 12:21.519 As we proceeded, I started to notice various things. 12:21.940 --> 12:24.302 There really were striped poles in the water. 12:24.743 --> 12:27.586 The houses really did open straight out onto the canals. 12:28.206 --> 12:33.395 It was as if we had sailed into the most elaborately beautiful African river village. 12:34.176 --> 12:39.265 I felt as if this was a community that floated on an ocean of nothing. 12:40.871 --> 12:41.711 That's so true. 12:41.912 --> 12:42.832 That's amazing. 12:42.912 --> 12:43.512 Thanks, man. 12:43.572 --> 12:46.994 There's a nice choice of music as well, Mahler from the soundtrack of Death in Venice. 12:47.054 --> 12:47.674 Yeah, exactly. 12:47.915 --> 12:48.915 Dr. Pollucci and Aviconti. 12:49.075 --> 12:52.437 But then a bit later on in the article, there's quite a radical change of tone. 12:52.477 --> 12:55.658 Well, that was what I was known for on the literary scene. 12:56.119 --> 12:58.000 And this is a bit more like a travel brochure. 12:58.920 --> 13:08.643 For the traveller who's prepared to wake with the sun and walk non-stop until midnight, Venice can be experienced in three ways, although my father insisted we were merely scraping the surface. 13:09.163 --> 13:14.505 I trekked from one building to the next painting and watched Italian 24-hour pop videos for the rest of the time. 13:14.525 --> 13:21.147 I must admit there's nothing to do but visit churches and galleries, where some of the world's most beautiful works are to be found. 13:21.987 --> 13:22.707 What's that music? 13:22.767 --> 13:24.288 Is that genuine Sky Travel music? 13:24.608 --> 13:25.088 It might be. 13:25.229 --> 13:26.389 It's called the Red Fiesta. 13:26.789 --> 13:28.210 Sky Travel is my favourite channel. 13:28.230 --> 13:28.811 That was good. 13:29.051 --> 13:30.772 But then, you wrap things up. 13:31.092 --> 13:35.655 Literally one line later, you are back into your extraordinary prose swing. 13:35.675 --> 13:36.636 Is this the final line then? 13:36.656 --> 13:37.836 This is the closing line of the piece? 13:38.117 --> 13:38.937 It's not, but it should be. 13:39.618 --> 13:41.939 Even I found Venice overwhelming. 13:42.539 --> 13:46.782 The wealth of artistic achievement that stands sinking is huge. 13:47.382 --> 13:52.386 I certainly think that you can't sit on this planet for a lifetime and not visit Venice. 13:53.166 --> 14:01.080 The three days I spent there restored my faith in man's ability to create beauty, even if it may have gone now. 14:02.352 --> 14:04.313 That's your faith, I imagine, not man's beauty. 14:04.533 --> 14:05.774 No, I think it's man's beauty. 14:06.755 --> 14:07.595 Wow. 14:07.755 --> 14:08.836 You know, I'm amazing. 14:09.296 --> 14:10.217 Or I was amazing. 14:10.737 --> 14:16.221 And since then, in the intervening years, I've become even more amazing. 14:16.401 --> 14:18.462 Will you write an article that we can read out next week? 14:18.482 --> 14:20.523 Yeah, we've got to do something with that Sky Travel music. 14:20.543 --> 14:21.284 Play that music again. 14:22.284 --> 14:23.565 Please, please. 14:23.885 --> 14:28.768 We can have people call in and talk about their holidays and just hear it in the background. 14:28.968 --> 14:29.569 That would be good. 14:32.726 --> 14:33.307 Oh, yeah. 14:33.447 --> 14:34.908 It actually makes you feel warmer, doesn't it? 14:34.928 --> 14:35.468 It does, yeah. 14:35.528 --> 14:37.189 It's like the sound of the mad. 14:37.930 --> 14:39.651 That could be the beginning of my article. 14:39.951 --> 14:40.292 OK. 14:40.352 --> 14:43.454 Write a travel article for us about a trip somewhere out in London next week. 14:43.534 --> 14:44.815 How about that? 14:44.835 --> 14:47.157 Listen, we've got Ditties in the Dark coming up after Razorlight. 15:00.996 --> 15:05.820 That was a bit of a mess there, it came in at the end of Razor Like with Ditches in the Dock music. 15:05.840 --> 15:07.221 Sorry about that. 15:07.241 --> 15:11.684 Okay, so this week, Ditches in the Dock is once again themed, ladies and gentlemen. 15:11.744 --> 15:13.986 And the theme this week, we've narrowed our choices down. 15:14.026 --> 15:20.971 Basically, this is the part of the show where Joe and I battle it out for which piece of music gets to play out the show this week on XFN. 15:21.883 --> 15:24.305 Synthpop is the category this week. 15:24.806 --> 15:26.427 And Joe, do you want to start or shall I start? 15:26.668 --> 15:27.929 Yeah, I don't mind starting. 15:28.229 --> 15:29.370 Okay, you go ahead. 15:29.611 --> 15:33.895 My synthpop choice, listeners, is Thomas Dolby's She Blinded Me With Science. 15:34.035 --> 15:34.515 Oh, brilliant. 15:34.796 --> 15:39.880 This is a fantastic synthpop single from the man who claims to have invented synthesizers. 15:40.721 --> 15:41.802 At least that's what he claimed to us. 15:43.103 --> 15:45.004 It is a fantastic song. 15:45.104 --> 15:50.907 It's all about a man that falls in love with a woman who's a brilliant scientist, and her scientific brain freaks him out. 15:50.947 --> 15:52.908 And you know, they just don't release singles like that anymore. 15:53.068 --> 15:54.149 Well, you've really thought about it. 15:54.309 --> 15:54.569 Have I? 15:54.869 --> 15:57.331 Like, you've thought about what the song means and everything. 15:57.371 --> 16:00.072 Well, on the way here, I wasn't sure whether I got it right. 16:00.292 --> 16:00.912 Have I got it right? 16:00.932 --> 16:02.273 Yeah, well, that's that. 16:02.333 --> 16:03.834 Instead of Magnus Pike, I always think. 16:03.874 --> 16:05.435 It's got some samples of Magnus Pike. 16:05.475 --> 16:09.397 Magnus Pike was in the video, and for younger listeners, Magnus Pike was a celebrity science man. 16:10.077 --> 16:11.198 Celebrity scientists. 16:11.239 --> 16:12.019 In the 70s and 80s. 16:12.059 --> 16:14.242 All celebrity chefs now used to be celebrity scientists. 16:14.262 --> 16:16.665 Yeah, in the days when people used to value intelligence. 16:16.685 --> 16:18.107 That's right, Joe. 16:18.127 --> 16:19.308 So this is a brilliant single. 16:19.388 --> 16:22.432 It's got a very, very novel lyric line and it sounds amazing. 16:23.533 --> 16:24.574 It's incredibly catchy. 16:24.614 --> 16:29.180 If you've never heard it, kids, then you just need to hear it, basically, because you'll love it. 16:29.440 --> 16:35.045 And we should stress that this is the original version, not the remix, that mystifyingly turns up on the excellent album. 16:36.086 --> 16:36.526 What's it called? 16:36.546 --> 16:37.547 The Golden Age of Wireless. 16:37.567 --> 16:39.929 Yeah, and Thomas Dolby generally is a fantastic artist. 16:39.949 --> 16:48.337 This is possibly his best known bit of work, but if you like this, then you can delve deeper into his oeuvre, and there's a lot more, sort of slightly less gimmicky stuff. 16:48.457 --> 16:49.998 Delve into my oeuvre! 16:50.018 --> 16:51.760 Delve into his oeuvreies? 16:51.780 --> 16:53.501 Yeah, that's very nice. 16:53.661 --> 16:54.362 Very nice image. 16:54.522 --> 16:55.122 So there we go. 16:55.263 --> 17:01.206 So my vote for this week, for Dizzies in the Dock, is Thomas Dolby with She Blinded Me with Science. 17:01.246 --> 17:02.787 Well, that's a good song, no question. 17:03.067 --> 17:13.054 But what about a bit of Kraftwerk, the people who more or less invented the entire genre, not just the synthesizer, although obviously they were using synthesizers, I don't know what I'm talking about. 17:13.334 --> 17:18.337 But this is a track that doesn't get played that much by Kraftwerk, and it's my own remix of the track. 17:18.537 --> 17:19.518 Wow, can you imagine? 17:19.558 --> 17:23.020 I've cut all the best bits and whacked them together in a really kind of cack-handed way. 17:23.320 --> 17:24.221 No, I've done it brilliantly. 17:24.521 --> 17:26.443 It's Kraftwerk with Tour de France. 17:26.883 --> 17:32.267 This is the music that was used briefly for the Tour de France, although they don't use it anymore, I don't think. 17:32.548 --> 17:35.290 It was on the soundtrack to Electric Boogaloo. 17:35.310 --> 17:36.351 What was it called? 17:36.471 --> 17:38.633 Electric Boogaloo was this sort of subtitle of... 17:39.133 --> 17:40.234 Breakdance 2. 17:40.435 --> 17:41.556 Electric Boogaloo. 17:41.796 --> 17:44.860 I think it was on the soundtrack to that originally, but this is not that version. 17:44.880 --> 17:45.521 That's impressive. 17:45.661 --> 17:47.143 My version is even more amazing. 17:47.664 --> 17:51.809 It's an extraordinary piece of work and, you know, if you don't vote for Kraftwerk, you're insane. 17:51.829 --> 17:54.412 So, are you going to vote for Thomas Dolby or Kraftwerk? 17:54.432 --> 17:55.253 That's all we need from you. 17:55.293 --> 17:58.177 We'll take the first five callers and the best of five will be played. 17:58.277 --> 17:58.897 at the end of the show. 17:58.958 --> 18:06.103 We should remind people of their motivation to call apart from, you know, helping us out and being on the show and, you know, encouraging your favorite song to be played. 18:06.123 --> 18:13.648 You also win a copy of the brilliant book about big hair, one of those novelty books that you get by the till, old pictures of big hair. 18:13.888 --> 18:15.389 Just imagine what it's like and that is what it's like. 18:15.930 --> 18:21.353 And the person who comes in with the deciding vote wins the Saturday Night Live box set. 18:21.413 --> 18:22.895 It's not in a box, but it's four DVDs. 18:23.695 --> 18:24.035 And that's it. 18:24.575 --> 18:26.596 So is it Thomas Dolby or Kraftwerk? 18:26.696 --> 18:28.757 We'll find out after this is- Should we give them the number? 18:29.177 --> 18:34.419 Well, okay then, yeah, yeah, fair enough. 18:34.439 --> 18:35.020 0-8-7-1-2-2-2-1-0-4-9. 18:35.040 --> 18:36.960 0-8-7-1-2-2-2-1-0-4-9 Dolby or Kraftwerk. 18:37.081 --> 18:44.344 Got a bit of a free play now, this is Richard Hell and the Voidoids. 18:51.807 --> 18:52.587 Guess who that was, Joe? 18:53.021 --> 18:54.683 Was it that one? 18:55.724 --> 18:56.284 Was it that one? 18:56.425 --> 18:57.145 No. 18:57.205 --> 18:58.166 Lucky I didn't say that then. 18:58.647 --> 18:59.247 What was that one? 19:00.509 --> 19:01.390 That was the bravery. 19:01.730 --> 19:02.190 Oh was it? 19:02.491 --> 19:03.192 Unconditional. 19:03.212 --> 19:03.552 I liked that one. 19:03.572 --> 19:04.153 That was very good. 19:04.173 --> 19:08.597 Okay, so we're going to resolve Dizzy's in the Dock for you now ladies and gentlemen. 19:12.761 --> 19:13.642 Sure is exciting. 19:13.983 --> 19:15.544 It sure is exciting. 19:16.713 --> 19:21.915 So Ditty's in the Dock of course is the slot where you get to choose the song that we play out the show with. 19:22.095 --> 19:24.655 I have a song that I'd like to play out the show with. 19:24.695 --> 19:25.216 Adam has his. 19:25.256 --> 19:26.156 You guys get to choose. 19:26.196 --> 19:28.116 This week Adam chose Kraftwerk with which song?
