It's taken a little over 11 months but The Herb Whisperer has finally managed to watch his first complete film of 2020, Steve McQueen's "Lovers Rock". Admittedly, it's only 70 minutes long so it wasn't much of a stretch.  And 10 of those 70 minutes were comprised of just one song - the extended (then acapella) version of Janet Kay's "Silly Games" that closes today's show https://www.youtube.com/wa...

We'd love to be able to present you with a video of the Stewart Lee bit that was sampled on today's last song courtesy of Asian Dub Foundation. But we can't. The best we can manage is a slightly (deliberately?) wonky clip on  Daily Motion,. So you'll just have to close your eyes for four minutes whilst the picture is frozen but the audio keeps rolling. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5vzbk0 On...

RIP Dele Fadele , NME journalist during the 1980's and 1990's. Although he actually died sometime during 2018 the news only became public a few weeks ago. In 1992 he became one of the first people to call Morrissey out on his flirtation with right wing imagery. "For what's it's worth, I don't think Morrissey is a racist. He just likes the trappings and the culture that surround the outsider elemen...

We admit that the pun for this week's show title came first and we then frantically tried to base a playlist around it. Very much a cart-before-the-horse scenario. It proved to be a good excuse for our biennial trawl through the Cocteau Twins back catalogue, cover versions and all. This included finding a surprising take on "Wax & Wane" by Deftones, which narrowly failed to make the cut in today's...

Today's show is woven between readings of the WAP lyrics by Ben Shapiro. We've not been as moved by a monologue since we first heard Richard Burton reciting Dylan Thomas . As if that wasn't dramatic enough, we chose to back Mr Shapiro's oration with the latest offering from RZA - a brand new US ice cream truck jingle, written to replace the existing "well-known and problematic tune " Turkey in the...

We're leaving half of today's show in the hands of the professionals. MC Yallah & Debmaster plunder the Hakuna Kalala back catalogue (amongst other tracks) for a 30 minute BBC Radio 6 mix, and we also squeeze in one side of a recent hour long compilation showcasing the wares of the Invisible, INC. label. And on with the show... Direct download: The Joint - 08 August 2020 Notebooks out completists,...

One Gen X'er's piece of throwaway 80's pop crap is another Gen Z'er's twenty-twenties vaporwave classic - or so it would seem. We were forced to re-evaluate and, yes, appreciate Kajagoogoo's "Hang On Now" after the song featured in Sofie's recent Bleep mix . Sofie herself appears in today's show along with a brand new track from John Carpenter , which seems a good reason as any to post a video of...
