THE JOINT RADIO SHOW

Back on track with a pre-recorded mix for our usual RDU timeslot.

We’re still fine tuning our R18 Vintage Cuts banned records special and, to be honest, it’s getting difficult to pin down what exactly constitutes a ban on a record.

If you’re a member of Anal Cunt playing grindcore to an audience of 50 people in West Newton, Massachusetts, you can’t exactly claim your new limited edition split 7″ single on Stinky Horse Fuck records has been banned just because the Clear Channel won’t put it on the playlist.

Add in the fact that media outlets very rarely officially “ban” songs these days, they just ignore them or advise presenters against playing them at certain times of the day, and we’re entering very murky waters indeed.

Whilst we continue to sift through the semantics of censorship we will take the easy option leave you with the countdown from #25 to #1 from John Peel’s Festive Fifty from 1996.

As is always the case with these old radio shows the quality is not always the highest – they’ve been ripped from cassettes, they have crude edits when the tape has had to be flipped over and songs have been dubbed in from other sources when someone forgot to do the flipping and missed a track – but the same could be said of a normal episode of The Joint.

If the suspense of finding out who is in the top spot is too great for you there’s always a spoiler online.

When it came to putting together our own original mix of music this week, time was thin on the ground. Hey, those post-earthquake chemical toilets don’t assemble and empty themselves you know.

Instead, we’ve crudely bolted together two unedited sets of other people’s work. Extracts have been played on past episodes of The Joint but here, in their full glory, are the Zilla & Buddy Peace “A Friendly Game Of Chess” mix CD from 2003 and last year’s “South Yorks Vol 1” promo by Kid Acne & DJ Slick Dixxx.

We’re using the continued lack of entry to the RDU studio to piece together some mixes from ideas we’ve had over the years.

One of them was to try and construct a show of nothing but remixes that were all linked together. Every act had to appear in the playlist twice, both in the guise of remixer and of original artist, with these tracks following each other in the running order. The aim was to finish the show with a remix from a band that started the whole programme off.

To be honest, having to describe the premise is hard and does make the whole project sound awful, but we have managed to piece 80 minutes worth of music that does adhere to the basic principles.

It’s called the Remix Circle Jerk because it is a series of remixes that come full circle and, let’s be frank, it is also an exercise in wanking off.

And here’s the playlist in full…
