The Show: Slowly catching up

Like I was saying on the show last week, I’m so far behind on music releases it’s just not funny anymore. I’ve missed some really good stuff over the last year.

However, thanks to Dave Imlay at Galaxy Records I got to have a listen to The Golden Awesome‘s album “Autumn” which was released November 2011 by M’Lady’s Records and must have got an NZ release earlier this year. One for all shoegaze freaks.

The Show: Loose booty

The Herb Whisperer played Elvis Costello‘s 1978 classic “Pump It Up” because allegedly it is sampled in the Beastie Boys’ album Paul’s Boutique, a bona fide treasure trove of samples.

It may explain why Sly & The Family Stone’s “Loose Booty” is now an earworm – it was sampled on the track “Shadrach”. Here’s a video of”Loose Booty” from 1975…

And let’s not forget Elvis Costello, from 1978…

If you want to listen to the Solid Steel Radio Show where DJ’s Cheeba, Moneyshot and Food deconstruct, reimagine and reassemble Paul’s Boutique (and in the process revealing to The Herb Whisperer the presence of Pump It Up on the original), here it is.

The Show: Doctor WTF?

Oh, yes. Disco goldalicious. Mankind‘s disco version of the Dr. Who theme tune!

And in case you wondered what Mankind looked like have a peek below at this classic Top of The Pops performance.

KLF’s “Doctorin’ the Tardis” appearance on the same show 10 years later now makes even more sense.

The Show: Rich / Hoe?

Is it time for a collaboration between Die Antwoord‘s Yo-Landi Vi$$er and Nicki Minaj? We certainly think so. The closest we’ll probably get is by playing them back to back on the show today but one can live in hope. Best costumes ever.

Die Antwoord “Rich Bitch”

Nicki Minaj “Stupid Hoe”

The Show: Hardcore score draw.

Looking out of the RDUnit.
Looking out of DJ bubble of the RDUnit on a winter day.
If we’d been paying attention we wouldn’t have left the mics on all the time.

It’s been quite a few years since RDU has had a comedy show.

So we tried to make up for it several times during the show today by inadvertently leaving the microphones after we had finished our voice breaks. Luckily you can’t quite hear who we call a c–t for singing badly, the phone numbers of our dealers, or the name of the politician who ate all the pies.
