this is a right bugger

films << see the list
okay, im a bit late with
this - but ive not been in the mood for bloggin for a while. i
watched all six hours of this show... and out fo the the hundred i
had seen about 3 of them :) where was bill and ted? where was willy
wonka? im not a film buff, as you probably can tell - the last film
i saw was harry potter (which i thought was an alright film, nothing
amazing - no where near as good as the books), but thats an
exception cos i had read the books. out of the hundred - i would
dispute a few of the more recent films. i know theyre good films -
but not classic. par example - gladiator (6), crouching tiger (18),
the matrix (15). oh well - star wars won - how predictable. never
seen it :) adam & jo were featured on the show talking about
star wars... but somebody forgot to tell them to be funnny.
d'oh.

richard & judy

good, perhaps a bit too similar to this morning. hmm. richard
still amsues me greatly, especially in their new midday money thing
- very poor :) the caller had to describe what they see on screen
without saying what it is, rich&judy have to guess what it is.
heres an example:

(on screen is a hampster)
caller: uhm.... its something you
could cuddle up to
r&j: a blanket?
caller: no... its
orange
and so it continued with richard becoming more and more
excited until the end of the quiz, at which point he said "we'll
give you a few more.. because... uhm..... its the first show!". the
silly tart ended up with £7,000. disgraceful :)
useless fact of
the day: judge jules made the really cheesy theme tune to richard
& judy. :) honest
link

adverts

<< "free air guitar with every one". oh dear
youve probably
seen the ad. it features members of status quo ("the quo" to their
fans) and brian-may-from-queen (yes, the one that collabarated with
5ive) "rocking all over" their living room, playing invisible
instruments to a compliation album of rock songs. oh dear. WHERE DID
IT ALL GO WRONG?

strange i know, but they must have had a very good
ad agency cos its one cool advert. very creepy, almost aphexy, dim
lighting, cool filming. in one theres a family sat round a table,
the daughter is close to tears and theres a demented sounding voice
coming from the boiler shouting insults at the family. nobody says
anything, they just stare until the mother stands up, screams STOPP
IT!!!! and waves her arms around in a demented way. i like it :) link

one of my all time favourite shows - an absolute classic. i found this
link the other day. very cool.

lastly,
i know im 4 years late but the chris cunningham video for aphex
twins come to daddy is FUCKING AMAZING. such an amzing 5
minutes - try and get a copy of it. theres a low quality version here
but i recommend you try and get a high quality video from kazaa.

peace out.

ermm now it's time for a few old remixes i did which are devoid
of much merit bar the fact that the samples of my mum and grandma
are pretty funny :) <>

1_ Pizza & Chips <<<_
- classic. it all started when i asked what's for dinner ( i was
young,... and very bored)

2_ Goonies <<<_-
similar classic. my mixing skills had progressed to sampling beats
of cds, though i still had to do it through microphone..bloody shit
old computer. features sample of the "heeey youu guyyys!"
part of the film. if you know of or have seen the film 'The Goonies'
you'll love it man. similarly it features my mum saying "what did
you want me hear for? to record something i say?" at the start. ohhh
the hilarity (not)

3_ Coming Soon: my massive (and mainly poor) remix that i made
when i was about 13/14 including some good ideas but a shite backing
beat whick i made from dj luck and mc neat's - with a little
bit of luck <- oh deary me,.. i was young and impressionable.
will be worth it because of some of the things i tried to do with
it, but had neither the equipment nor the skill to pull off :)

i'm pleased to announce boom selections very
first

Boom Selection Appeal

don't you just hate it when you fall asleep at around 4-5pm, in
your clothes, in your bed? you miss the end of Moyles, feel like
crap, your mouth tastes funny and ERGHGHhhhhh! I find it even more
infruating when trying to describe this to my internet chums after i
stagger accross to the keyboard from my bed. what on earth do you
call it? it's not just plain old sleep. "nap" is too broad a term.
So that is why this appeals aim is to....

Find a word to describe falling asleep at 4-5pm a waking up a
couple of hours later feeling like shit.

lets face facts - 70% more people we surveyed had more of these
kind of sleeps than they had a meal inbetween breakfast and lunch.
brunch is also another made-up word, but it is now in common useage
and the dictionary! the same thing can happen with our word. here's
the plan:

1. ask people to come up with a word.
2. judge which is the
best word.
3. ask people to use it in everyday conversation. just
"slip it in".
4. get investors to invest in a huge media blitz
focused on this word (tv, radio, billboard, etc)
5. get celebrity
endorsement...
for example the word could come out on a game of
countdown, Huw Edwards could start the 6 oclock news with it, david
dickinson from bargain hunt could look over his glasses and mouth it
into the camera, it could even be the name for richard & judys
new channel 4 show! its on at the right time :)
6. get everybody
in the country to use it
7. once it is in comon useage it will
automatically be added to the oxford english dictionary next edition
along with 'booyakasha'

then i will not have to struggle when trying to describe my sleep
patterns. thank you. please give generously.

quote of the day: James
Whale - 'I like a woman with breasts the size of her head'

also - "A woman's place is at home looking after the children" :)
nice one James (!) you're the man so i'll let you off.
&
furtherly - "Mr Boyd thinks he's a very educated and intelligent
man"...."...If a fight ensues, you know who's gonna win... it's
gonna be me" [ after being questioned by an old woman about ash. the
facade continues...& similarly expands into other shows:]

useful audio for further zoos i think you'll grant me (that is
if they refrain from being utter shite:)

reservoir dogs - not bad. quite interesting. quite clever
occasionally. nay bad. quite possibly the least detailed review of
that film...ever. and possibly the worst :) i dinny care. update it
with more tomorrow perchaps, though i quite like the minimalist
styleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

strange... i was also going to post about the old bbc 2
rebranding :) we are a bunch of sad ghets :)

i'm very pleased as i've just made a very cool cd (and it didnt
fuck up!). 1. avalanches '97 breezeblock set 2. osymyso breezeblock
set. 3. stroke of genius 4. chemical bros - hoops. cúl as a
cube.

->>>just found out that simon cowell is going to be on
ian collins sometime next week. should be mildly
amusing/interesting. could be utter wank though :)

i need a new catchphrase.

i love it when the people wave to the camera at the start of "who
wants to be a millionaire" .bingo wings.

rebranding

BBC Online is now BBCi
and
now tonight BBC2 has been rebranded - sortof. the logo has changed
and the indent thingys inbetween programs have changed to more of a
menu "whats coming up tonight" thing with a bbc2 logo BOX on the
right hand side of the screen. kinda difficult to get used to. not
as cool as the last one - but the new BBC2 short clips of the BBC2
logo in various locations have been updated which is always
cool.

if i was rupert murdoch or james whale i would complain about how
much of a waste of the license fee this is. but im not and i like
the bbc so i wont :)

classic bit of television. she admitted that she was 4 months
preggers and that her boyfriend (dwight yorke) has been seeing other
people.... yet she says "i can cope" with some sort of fixed
grin/feel sorry for me/pay me money/look at my breasts expression on
her face. i shared frank's concerns.
- 11:56:59 PM

i was sitting in the car bored today
in a retail park in basildon, and was listening to a few old tapes
that i'd found and wasn't sure what was on them. i found a few
amusing renditions of various things, including a grand piano,
classical, & drawn out version of postman pat, which i'd done in
the old days on my old keyboard :)

a little later i got bored, and switched over to the radio only
to find perhaps the funniest piece of music radio i have ever heard
in my life. it was an xfm show called 'the remix',
which is going to be a definate listen for me from now on. as i am
writing i am finding more, and more cool things about this show on
the website ''Eddy Temple-Morris and James Hyman
co-present The Remix – “…where rock meets dance” - every Sunday
afternoon, playing Xfm artists as you’ve never quite heard them
before along with The Superchunk, a 30-minute special guest set
''. yes people. the same Eddy Temple-Morris who presented you
with the, indeed genius, 'Stroke of Genius'. faaaaantastic.

Anyway, seeing as the track listings aren't out yet, i luckily
made a few notes of the tracks i heard on the back of a comet
catalogue.

The Remix - xfm sunday 18th Nov 01 (between about 2:15pm
& 3:15pm)

- Axel F vs Dj Pied Piper & The Masters of Ceremonies - Do
You Really Like It? (i loved it indeed. i thought it was whicked)
ROFL. one of the funniest things i've ever heard
-
Billie Jean vs some dude rapping. (quite good. humourous, yet not
exactly the best rapping i've ever heard)
- some other 80's
classics followed (one that stood out was also included in the
avalanches '97 breezeblcok mix... #..i cant go for that...#...if you
know it)
- some thunderbirds sfx + scratching (lots of cúl
scratching :)
- followed by some rapping. nice
- Walk Like
An Egyptian. (ROFL very strange considerin what features
beforea/afterwards. genius)
- some jungle music. hard
bass.
- laid back hip hop stylee.
- Madonna - Dont Tell Me.
(they are surely taking the piss by now :) absolutely
enthralling listening though.lol @ the rapping over the top. very
cúl contrast #...niggas in the east coast..# etc etc :)
- Get
Ur Faith On. (ROFL. can this mix get any better?...oh yesh my
son...ohhh yesh :)
- Busta Rhymes - Knight Rider Theme
Thing
- Inspector Gadget vs some whicked rapping ( FUCKING
AWESOME duuuude. i nearly crashed the car trying not to laugh out
loud. brilliance.) i gets better...
- Muppet Show Theme Tune
vs hard core 'nigga' rapping ( once again i really did find this
absolutely hilarious. but very very good nonetheless)

my remarks at the top seem less hyperbolic now eh? genius.

im off to see the only thing hyped more than
the strokes/stripes - harry potter. verdict later

jools holland wasnt as bad as i thought. macy gray was
good, beta band were trippy man! and the vines failed to fufil their
hype but the did make me laugh. "yea were the vines and we come from
sweden! ja!". garbage were still shit though.

fucking hell that is
excellence mky. my sentiments exactly. i find it hard to express the
state of madness that i am experiencing at the moment. the only way
i can deal with it is escapsim to the land of the_dr - where music
is loud and fun is to be had by all.

homework - fuck it

comedy last night was good. although a blatent rip-off of monty
python.

ive had very very bad back pain all day. not nice. not
nice at all.

in hmv today i had my headphones on listening to aphex twin
(selected ambient works II) while in the background i could hear dj
otzi - doo waa diddy. lovely. what was even more lovely is the
security guards looking over your shoulder every 5 minutes,
pretending to look at some cds while they are secretly watching you.
saw one person buying aphex - bald & middle aged. oh well, each
to their own :)

65daysofstatic are cool from what ive heard of theirs
(static 65), so is the new squarepusher track. ohmygod that is
fantastic. sums up the state of my mind as eliqantly as both the
avalanches mix and mky's speech did.

tonight
bbc1: 19:00 Children in Need
the anual
shite fest that is CIN. its comic relief without the comedy, its
eurovision without the credibility. its sad to see so many minor
celebrities flaunting their goods for all to see in such a small
place. but its for charide mate. oh dear....
Guests include
chart-topping acts Steps, Atomic Kitten and Hear'Say, Claire Sweeney
with her own rendition of Get Happy and Ricky Tomlinson on the
banjo. Geri Halliwell, Russell Watson and Sophie Ellis-Bextor will
also make an appearance, William G Stewart hosts a special
edition of Fifteen to One and there's a chance for viewers to vote
for their favourite Cliff Richard single.

bbc2(moved for CIN):19:30 Top of the Pops
Vernon Kay :(
presents performances by Westlife :(, Cher :(, Embrace :|, Beverley
Knight :|, D-12 :), Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman :(, So Solid
Crew :) and The Strokes :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD. should be good, they'll
probably play live.

bbc2: 23:35 Later with Jools Holland
after last weeks
good show, tonight will be shite (although maybe not). Macy Gray and
Garbage. save us all.

itv1:00:30 Dial-a-Date
marketed post-pub/club viewing
presented by a failed bigger breakfast presenter. funny for the
desperation/minginess of contestants.

bbc2:01:25 Trevor Nelson's Urban Choice
roots manuva
features. cool.

itv1:02:30 Take the Mike
amazingly bad show, rightly on
in the milkman slot. presented by failed "Australian duo" Supergirly
(aka a fat chick and a chinese chick in ridiculously over the top
comedy outfits showing more than we need to see given their
minginess).

buzz 88fm - pirate station in manchester.
plays rap/rnb. appaulingly bad :) good for a laugh though -
especially the adverts which are quite simply the funniest things i
have ever heard:-

macy gray - i'm sure she
knows what she's talking about :)
sanchez - what a strangely
shape-d head
white stripes - i like the setup of that band. it
almost seems as though they've choreographed it:

- the way meg turns her head to the side and looks up at
him
-
the way she drums seems rather cool, as if she's being overly
gesticulate with her arms. maybe it's just because she is fit as a
butcher's dog that am noticing these things :)
- bloke
stripe's voice is very strangely enticing. i like it. i smell a rat.

60 minutes summed up the exact
contents of my grey matter for the past 4 weeks. 60 minutes of the
most talented mixology. 60 minutes of the avalanches set on monday's
breezeblock. tracklisting to come - but if you have audiogalaxy join
this group and ask for the new avalanches set.
fantastic. it even used some aphex twin and the missy elliot/dr
dre/george michael/get ur faith on combo that appeared in my get ur
mix on mp3. cant stop listening to it.

got an email today from my teacher's son who is in a cool band
called 65daysofstatic. he'd heard the freelance
hellraiser tune from my site and thought that both it and the
website were cool. they were chosen for in the city the other month
and theyve had some label interest so they are officially good :)
check out the website, the links page and the mp3s -
all very very very cool. (plus he thinks this site is 'dead good' so
maybe im being a bit biased). im downloading some of their tracks
now so i'll give my verdict later.

white stripes last night on jo whileys new show.... hmmm. meg is
still fit (although not as fit as she was on jools holland) but i
find jack whites voice strangely facicnating. it sounds like hes in
great pain (especially when he sings 'i think i smell a rat'). very
live. very strange.

this is the first ever post on the boom
selection blog (a mky & dr co production). here we will give our
hopefully witty and insightful comments on life, music, tv and
whatever else takes our fancy. dont expect quality material (we're
saving that for the book) but do expect mildly amusing stuff.

to mark the opening (oo err misses) of this blog i would like to
recite the lyrics of the song that inspire not only this blog, but
our lives.

"I Said its time for action, boom boom boom selection, from the
crowd a chemical reaction, boom boom boom selection, can you feel
the satisfaction, boom boom boom selection, this is a genius
production, boom boom boom selection.

We Said its time for action, boom boom boom selection, from the
crowd a chemical reaction, boom boom boom selection, can you feel

Its Keflon drinking upon the bubbly, not Bacardi, Beer or Brandy,
quite frankly this rave be lively bass be bouncy, ready to taze me,
yes Sean T, Trimmer, Copone, and family, holding it down within this
vacinity, all the man collaborating nicely, all the ladies acting
randy, no worries to pass my jacket or car keys , cos' this event be
uptempt an lively, killing me like the fugees softly, im in paradise
I see pictures of palm trees, security analysing it wisely, clearing
out the people acting rowdy, while I check out the women with the
beauty, that be Keflon's solemn duty.

I Said its time for action, boom boom boom selection, from the
crowd a chemical reaction, boom boom boom selection, can you feel
the satisfaction, boom boom boom selection, this is a genius
production, boom boom boom selection.

We Said its time for action, boom boom boom selection, from the
crowd a chemical reaction, boom boom boom selection, can you feel
the satisfaction, boom boom boom selection, this is a genius
production, boom boom boom selection.

Study the sound physically and mentally, Genius yeah they got the
energy, step in the rave and we just wanna party, we dont wanna hurt
nobody, we got the style and we got the remedy, listen to my flow
and my rhyming aguility, this is the mic controller with ability,
and the sounds wha' call tranquility, I ve been around so you better
get to know me, dominate the microphone just like Bruce Lee, come
follow me cant beat me join me, its me they call me MC Fizzy, we
cant stop now the crowd be crazy, all night long were gonna party,
look at my rolley whats the time G.

I Said its time for action, boom boom boom selection, from the
crowd a chemical reaction, boom boom boom selection, can you feel
the satisfaction, boom boom boom selection, this is a genius
production, boom boom boom selection.

We Said its time for action, boom boom boom selection, from the
crowd a chemical reaction, boom boom boom selection, can you feel
the satisfaction, boom boom boom selection, this is a genius
production, boom boom boom selection.

I'm on a cruise from here to Kathmandu, i'm on a move in my
maroon space cruise, I've done the dues ready for my revenue,
revving cashflow hooked with the Genius Crew, yibby dibby da da I
got the flava, hyping up all you hardcore ravers, and I love the
outragous behaviour, ya gotta shake yer what ya mumma gave ya,
drinking the booze making me feel new and improved, you aint got a
clue i'm digging this track like fossils, from mansion to hostel i'm
hearing this heavy tune, causing the women to be sporting their Ann
Summers costumes, I am the one set the lyrical trend, I set the bass
and the mix and the blend, I intend to defend the mic to the end my
friend, its all about more benjamin's."
