TARDY LAST XFM PODCAST AND TOY ‘SEVEN’
The final Xfm podcast of our first ’season’ should be out around Monday 9th October (on I-tunes and the Xfm website as usual). It was going to be this week but I got swamped with preparations for Friday’s Out Of Focus Group, which is now sold out. Sorry about that. Over the last few weeks things have been fairly busy for Joe and myself so the regularity of the podcasts has suffered and I think maybe it’s affected our chart position as a result (I enjoy talking this way because it helps me believe I’m in a band or something). Anyway if you’ve been downloading the podcasts, thanks very much indeed and I hope you’ll continue to recommend them to your friends. The plan at the moment is to find a way to get some help producing them, probably outside Xfm, so we can do some more in the new year and make them regular without going nuts doing so. We’ll most likely carry on doing the Xfm show though but again not until the new year, if they still want us back of course. If you’re desperate for more Adam & Joe shite in the meantime, you could check out the monthly Coke New Music Podcast we do although it’s a very different thing, albeit hilarious, uplifting, important and much better put together than our Xfm one (because we don’t do it).
And if you’re still not satisfied, here’s another toy movie nugget which I believe has not made it on to You Tube so far: our version of David Fincher’s Seven which was only the second toy movie we ever made. We didn’t put this one on the Adam & Joe DVD because there wasn’t the space and as fond as I am of it, it’s perhaps not the funniest. I think we got a bit wrapped up in the idea of it being about the Seven Dwarves (ha ha) and it got a bit literal as a result, but it was fun to do and the title sequence works a treat I think. I think we were able to clear David Bowie’s The Laughing Gnome for the original broadcast but certainly when it turned up on the video we released after the first 2 series of The Adam & Joe Show, we had to use a piece of Nine Inch Nails style library music instead. Anyway, here it is in its original Bowie based glory!
