MC BlueKunckles has pinned some rhymes about Boothby Grafoe

Yo Mister Graffoe,
Betta do yo math-O,
Mess with my homie,
Your ass I’ll Straff-O.

Listen up Boothby,
Y’ know what the truth be,
Yo lame-ass show,
Has a ‘Radio 2′ feel.

Word.

Gary Richardson is a bit scary

Filed under: Is it just me... — joe @ 7:45 am

I’m not sure if he’s like it in real life but he doeas seem to have a sinister edge to his interviewing style. The Today Programme sports presenter really give me the creeps.

He interviews in the same style as James Naughtie and the rest but in the world of sport do we really need this style of questioing?

There’s an example here of him interviewing Anna Kournikova and giving her a hard time. Take a pill Gary and relax - be nice to your guests.

Review: Masters Cast - The First He-Man and She-Ra Podcast

Filed under: Podcasting — joe @ 5:26 pm

I downloaded and listened to the Mastercast last weekend. It was well, a bit geeky. If you appreciate the differences in the colour of the skin of the Evil-Lin action figure then you’ll love it. If like me you really don’t care then leave this one alone.

Ricky Gervais reapeats on XFM

Filed under: Coming up soon — joe @ 2:03 pm

Yep, they’re repeating Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington’s fantastic 2005 shows again on XFM.

Tun in every Saturday at 1pm.

Pod2Mob.com - Mobile Podcasting

Filed under: Is it just me..., Podcasting — joe @ 8:02 pm

Gimmicky site for downloading podcasts to a mobile. If your mobile data costs are anything like mine it’d cost me £34 (no joke) to download Mark Kermode’s film reviews.

Brain Eno on 6 Music

Filed under: Did you hear?, Listen online — joe @ 8:12 pm

Brian Eno Last night 6 music broadcast a fantastic interview with producer legend Brian Eno.

Eno has some great stories about recording with the likes of U2 and James. He told a fantastic anecdote about Bono and his busy life style. U2 were recording their “All that you can leave behind” album and Bono was having trouble finding the time to record with the band as he was constantly on the phone to Bill Gates and the like.

Eno decided to have an afternoon where the bad were not to be interupted and told the receptionist at the studio as much. All was fine for the first hour but then the receptionist gave a sheepish knock at the door.

She mouthed to Bono across the room while making her hand into a phone - “It’s the Pope”. How could any Irishman refuse that call?
