ADAM & JOE XFM PODCAST AVAILABLE FROM MONDAY 8th MAY 2006!
The first short package of extracts (around 20 minutes in all) from our Xfm show will be ready to download as a podcast next Monday. You can access them from either the Xfm website or i-tunes. If it was up to me I would put these together myself but there isn’t really any point in taking a break to work on other things if I end up sending all my time putting together podcasts, although it would be enjoyable. Instead I’ve gathered a few clips, recorded a few brief hellos and goodbyes with Joe to bookend the things, handed the lot over to Matt at Xfm and reluctantly left it at that (though Matt’s doing a great job. Cheers Matt!) Subsequently the first few episodes will probably consist mainly of stuff that is already available on this site, but as I’ve said before, the podcast makes it a handier, MP3 player friendly chunk, so you can listen to us crapping on while you’re sunbathing this Summer, or skiing this Winter, or erm, orting this Autumn.
Last Saturday Joe came over to record the hello and goodbye bits for the first few episodes and we had a good couple of hours just rambling and improvising bad songs which I though we might be able to use instead of real music between clips. Here’s Joe improvising lyrics while I play guitar and he does slide whistle solos. To me it sounds like a cross between Syd Barret, and Nirvana except a bit better than both of those. This one may not end up getting used because of a) how weird it is and b) the use of the ‘c’ word in it. I guess we could swear all we want, but I think there’s something more fun about keeping the rules the same as the broadcast shows.I really hope we’ll get it together to do a few other more substantial nuggets in the next few weeks. In the meantime, enjoy the poddies. I was trying to think of another way of saying ‘podcasts’ but poddies may not be the one. Poddles? No. Poodles? OK, I’ll get back to you.
