The Joint Radio Show

One of those shows where, by sheer chance, every corner of the world seems to be represented (the glaring exception being our own back yard). So thanks to the Republic of Ireland, Mali, UK, US, Canada, Germany, Sweden, Netherlands, Norway, South Korea, Argentina, Vietnam, Trinidad, Japan & France for the music in today's show. We'll make amends on the local muisc shortfall in a special end of year...

We're enjoying the first couple of tunes from Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds new album so much we snuck one on to the show today. "She Taught Me How to Fly" first caught our eye on an episode of Later with Jools Holland at the end of October. Look carefully. One member of the band is on backing scissors. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwV1lKNA0wU   And here's the playlist in full... GWENNO  -...

This show is entirely based on a Guardian music article from October this year. From Arsedestroyer To Zoogz Rift : 50 underground albums you've never even heard of We took this headline as a challenge. We'd heard of just 3. Of those 3, only 1 had provided a song for a previous show of ours. Way back in 2010, the wonderful My Time by Roberto Cacciapaglia & Ann Steel made the playlist . https://www....

The Joint is enjoying an extended Spring Break and so it's another raid on the audio archives for this week's show. We're filling up our allotted airtime with Breezeblock mixes from Mary Anne Hobbs' old Radio 1 show . It's old trick of ours and one that saved us time and again when we were scrabbling around for tunes to fill all 3 hours of our old radio programme.

After our third trawl through The Joint audio vaults for previously unpodcasted shows, we present the entire 3 hour show that was first broadcast on 29th September 2007  (as opposed to the heavily edited version that went out on 8k earlier today) There are constant references to "Myspace" websites and "peer to peer" networks but, quite frankly, we have no recollection of what any of those phrases...

The Show: The Joint with The Herb Whisperer presents Miss America featuring NPR vs Peter Robinson x Songs A long, and possibly unnecessary, title for today's show but it's a title very much in keeping with how our top pop stars now like to bill themselves (and in the process ensure their share of any dollar bills generated via streaming). Peter Robinson from Popjustice wrote about this practice in...

As Holger Czukay once said, "Let's get hot, on the dancing spot." RIP Herr Czukay. On the show today: Fazerdaze, EMA, Yumi Zouma, Lana Del Rey, Machine Woman, Savage Hymn, Gerry Read, Chaim, Kris Baha, Folamour, The Peppers, Holger Czukay, Farmacia, Señora, The Bug vs Earth, Greybeard, Caldera, Luke Abbott, Lone, The Opawa 45s, The Steffan van Soest Smoke Machine, SQÜRL, LCD Soundsystem.

The focal point of today's show is two triple plays either side of the one hour mark. The first one is three selections from the Cherry Red 7 CD box set " Manchester North Of England " - The Chameleons , Suns Of Arqa and The Tiller Boys .  More (and more bizarre) picks from this release in upcoming shows (The Hamsters? Bet Lynch's Legs ? Edward Barton ?) Following that, songs from three of the gra...

For reasons we won't go into here, but you can read about there , August 11th 1973 is officially the day hip hop was born. We're not going to argue but instead use it as an excuse to present a 100% hip hop show show (albeit one week and one day late). Starting with The Hood's  mash up  "40 Years Of Hip Hop"  , moving through our usual quotient of all things rap related, then onto BBC Radio 6's  Fr...

No idea what to make of Blackpool grime but Blackpool grime makes it into the show,. Courtesy of Afghan Dan . He's also responsible for the most telling / affecting quote from this Noisey documentary - "That's not really talent, that's survival" - at the five and a half minute mark. If you're keen to dig deeper into the sends, disses and beefs described above let us refer you to the YouTube channe...

As The Joint reluctantly adapts to middle-aged life it's heartening to see two 70ish year old brothers making angry, vibrant, catchy pop music. We reckon these might possibly be some of the best tunes of the Maels' 50 year career. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oC0rzv1j8Zc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZys5r6yi2o And in this week's edition of Lyrics Bingo match the following couplets to their...
