The Show: Spearmint gum and neat vodka? YEAH! That’ll be great?!

It has been a long time since we plundered Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! for The Joint’s commercial breaks, so repurposing the “definitely not fake ads for fake products” from Office Hours Live on Tim Heidecker’s YouTube channel seems way overdue.

Let’s go full YouTube wormhole and recommend Are Sounds Electrik, especially when they cut up old film footage to create their own promo videos.

A recent favourite of ours is a 1982 single from Ignatius Jones (in today’s playlist) synced with footage from the 1944 film Don’t Take It To Heart .

Only 38 years passed between the release of the movie and the song but it’s now been more than 40 years since the song came out.

Make of that what you will.

And on with the show…

The Show: Mantis With A Radish

 

In terms of incongruousness, this is up there with the footage of PiL on America Bandstand we mentioned a few months ago. Same year, 1980, but this time it’s Yellow Magic Orchestra wowing Soul Train’s audience.

It’s just sad it took the untimely passing of Ryuichi Sakamoto to bring it to our attention.

The Show: Well, Suck. On. This.

Never ceases to amaze us that, 20 years after the fact, media pundits who enthusiastically advocated for the Iraq war are still much sought after for their opinions by the likes of CNN, MSNBC, NYT, FOX ETC.

Thomas Friedman is a case in point.

I wouldn’t necessarily say that this:

disqualifies you from any future public discourse but how about, at the very least, a mea fucking culpa.

For a little bit more detail try RNZ’s Midweek Mediawatch at the 25s mark and the whole of this episode of NPR’s On The Media (but particularly from 11m 10s).

And on with the show…

The Show: Macrodata Refinement

Starting the show off at a blistering pace with a track from the new Blair Parkes album “over board”, available right now on bandcamp.

You can still listen to the recent Karyn Hay interview with Blair over at the RNZ website, wherein he talks about his favourite local tunes and the seemingly arbitrary, fluid nature of the names of Christchurch suburbs, long a bugbear at The Joint mansions.

Say, say, say, say summat to me

On an unrelated note, we can’t help imagining that Caroline Polachek is attempting a broad Yorkshire accent during at least part of her latest song.
