Can I be so bold as to offer a tiny Mac lesson? If you hit Apple +Alt it will start downloading to your default download folder without you having to scroll down & select the download option. More of a tip than a lesson, really.

Adam, followed by Huey, followed by Jarvis? Makes for a blissful Sunday afternoon of listening.

It's Tony Mansfield who was the main man in New Musik, not Mike Mansfield. Mike Mansfield was that rather camp chap who used to say "Cue the Music" on Supersonic. Remember?
Other than that, good stuff on the Mix Tape! Toodles.

Great music, great chat, great times. Here's hoping it carries on! I really liked the off-kilter music that was played, just my cup of tea...

I can't wait to hear more - it was an outstanding show.

When i read the mission statement...(mission statement?) i was wondering if you'd play that Jean Jacques Perrey song. Joe and you played it on that Dermot o'Leary Sporting Buddies show and i have searched for it since then. Thank you for opening my ears and releasing me from the quest for the synth sampler song.

The debut of the new show was conspicuously auspicious. Tunes were odder than a cat with no tail; I like that. And Julian was quietly hilarious; hiding in plain sight while naked is going in the 'must try that' notebook. Adam was hilarious too, natch, though not quite so quiet. And possibly, overall, hairier.
The Peter Gabriel segment was standout, and I'd like to see this concept taken further, with you crazy guys doing a similar covers project to his own; perhaps called 'Scratch My Sack'. I would pay handsomely to hear, e.g. Bono, giving it the full emote treatment to 'The Hours', and Annie Lennox earnestly warbling her heart out with 'All Night Garage'.

Although I did initially get a bit confused reading the track listing when I saw "The Police Wuthering Heights" and thought "hmm - where did they get all these cover versions from? ... OH. RIGHT. I'll just go over here and facepalm for an hour or so."
Nice work Count Doctor Buckules. Julian Barratt's beard doesn't hold a candle to yours, by the way.

I recognised your first track from when you and Joe were on 'Dermot's Sporting Buddies'. Do I win a prize for most deranged and obsessive superfan?

So long as Adam is on the air 6Music cannot be closed down. We will feed you toast and honey and send drinks made from the tears of 6Music listeners. But what is this? Adam also on Radio 2? Did you kidnap Jonathan Ross or is he under that new motorway bridge support on the M1? When Joe returns will you divide all the ´óÏó´«Ã½ radio stations between you?

There was no doubt that the gig with Leeeeza would be brilliant, but I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed 'Oddens', being (ahem) the wrong side of 40 and a bit square. The Silver Apples - blimey - many people are called 'ahead of their time' but they were amazing. I've now been off to listen to the whole album and am addicted. Can't wait for the next big mix tape!

I’m a bit behind, missed the show and the week of iplayer!…but I really enjoyed it and I wanted to nudge you further in the direction of Scott Walker’s more wonky albums. In particular, I would recommend downloading the opening track from Tilt, ‘Farmer in the City.’ I heard this song about 8 years ago on Stuart Maconie’s old ‘Critical List’ show on R2 and taped it off the radio.
It is amazing. I have no idea what it is about, and yet it is still hugely moving and you feel like you’ve been through a profound experience having listened to it. Musically it’s very graceful and swoops from note to note in a beautiful orchestral way, it is one of those songs that gets right inside your chest, it’s an absolutely perfect, 10/10, heart-filling, tragic yet inspiring listen. Hmmm, no career for me as a music critic there but I hope you will check it out.
Looking forward to sitting down sometime this week with Mix Tape 2 on the iplayer.
I also caught the Radio 2 fun on Saturday on my headphones while doing my shopping and picking litter out of further Norfolk hedgerows!! Nice to know someone else does it too.

Great choice with the Bladerunner soundtrack (an album that gets played to death in my house) beautiful stuff.
Good old Scott Walker too... has he done any solo stuff that isn't weird?
