The show: Just a show about пинг-понг

If you’re not staying in to watch the table tennis then you might like to head along to The Dux tonight to see Permanence for their annual Ian Curtis tribute.

But if all the Manchester revival hype is doing your head in then pop over to Fuc51 for an alternative view.

The show: Radical change makes instant 33% improvement to The Joint

For the next six months The Joint will finish at 2pm rather than 3pm so that we can make space in the RDU schedule for the new Seeded radio series.

That’s right – a whole 33% increase in performance by lopping an hour off the show! Don’t know why we didn’t think of it before. Means we’ll be able to make the most of the late afternoon sun in winter because you don’t want us getting Seasonal Affective Disorder do ya?

The show: Mashed potatoes

Mashed potatoes.

“Shit! If this gonna be that kind of party, I’m gonna stick my dick in the mashed potatoes” Mantan Moreland

Ahem – yes – mashed potatoes.

For years I have wondered where the Beastie Boys got the legendary “mashed potatoes” sample as used on the track “B-Boys Makin’ with the Freak Freak” from the 1994 album “Ill Communication”. For some unknown reason I decided to consult the internet this morning and struck gold with the brilliant Mic to Mic Beastie Boys fan site. Thanks fellas. Turns out it was comedian Mantan Moreland.
